England|Ecology was retained by Northgate Environmental to analyze the effect on biological resources of a proposed water infrastructure project including wells, tanks, and distribution lines, in the rural community of Anza. Fieldwork included mapping of vegetation communities and development of floral and faunal compendia over the course of two site visits. The final product was a biological resources assessment informing a CEQA Initial Study-Mitigated Negative Declaration. The document was also written with additional sections for potential consultation with the US Fish & Wildlife Service due to the potential occurrence of four wildlife species listed as threatened or endangered under the Federal Endangered Species Act.
