\u2022 Burton Mesa chaparral, a globally rare natural plant community

\u2022 The federal and state-listed Pismo Clarkia (FE, SR, CNPS 1B.1)

\u2022 Several other special status plant species: sand mesa manzanita (CNPS 1B.2), mesa horkelia (CNPS 1.B.1), sand almond (CNPS 4.3), California spine\ufb02ower (CNPS 4.2), Lompoc ceanothus (CNPS 4.2), Michael\u2019s Rein-Orchid (CNPS 4.2), and Nipomo Mesa Ceanothus (CNPS 1B.2).

\u2022 Roughly 100 acres of oak woodlands and forest, totaling over 3,900 trees
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– The project proposes removal of 3,948 oak trees (and an additional 750 could be impacted during construction). 96% of oak woodland, 97% of the sensitive Burton Mesa Chaparral habitat type and impacts Federally Endangered Pismo Clarkia.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– The way in which the project is designed does little to minimize impacts to the oak woodland, oaks, and special status plant and animals. As discussed in the DEIR (Section 4.4), it results in signi\ufb01cant, unavoidable impacts to each of these resources.
