6.2.4.1 Management Recommendations
Fencing
1. Dismantle existing fencing inside the Reserve,except where needed to:
Protect particularly sensitive species or habitats. For example,perimeter fencing could be used in
� : ® p
habitat linkage areas
where Reserve widths are narrower and there is greater exposure to adverse
edge effects.
® Direct human access away
from sensitive resource areas. Efforts to limit human access should
involve the use of naturalvegetation,vegetationtopography,signs,and limited fencing.
P
® Protect from natural hazards or other public safety needs.
2. Design and locate new fences
within the Reserve so they do not impede wildlife movement.
Signs
1. Provide educational brochures,interpretive kiosks,and signs to educate the public about the resources
and goals of the Subarea Plan and Reserve.
2. Establish signs for access control and education at the periphery of the Reserve that are accessible to
1Y. individuals.Post signs to prohibit firearms and unleashed pets.
3. Install signs for educational nature trails.

Data Analysis
As much as is practical, trend analysis methods will be used for data analysis of wildlife species. The
statistical analysis of time-series data for trends has received extensive attention (e.g., Ralph and Scott
Droege 1990; Gerrodette 1987, 1993). Once a sufficient time-series of
1981; Verner 1985; Sauer and g
population data is developed, long-term trend analyses can be conducted. The number of years of data
necessary to reliably identifypopulation
a long-termo ulation decline depends on the variability of the data. In the
short-term, the number of occupied sites,
site turnover rate, and change in total population size between
:.: years will be indicative of
at least short-term variation in local population levels that can be related to
weather and site conditions(e.g.,cold weather-induced population decline).If a negative population trend
is investigation of the potential causes of the population decline (e.g.,cowbird
detected, a more intensive in g
parasitism) should be initiated.
Reporting
A monitoring report documenting

. Dear Mr. Rojas:
Congratulations! We are pleased to inform you that the Department of
Fish and Game (DFG) has selected your proposal to receive local assistance
grant funds for tasks related to implementing the Natural Community
Conservation Planning (NCCP) Program. The NCCP Program is founded on the
concepts of integrating science and local participation into ecosystem protection.
p g
Yourro osal will further our knowledge and enhance our efforts to conserve
p P
species and habitats.
The project identified below has been selected for funding:
Rancho Palos Verdes NCCP Reserve Management Plan: You have been
awarded a total of $100,000 for developing a natural resource management plan
for the reserve to be created as part of the NCCP. The plan will expand upon the
commitments identified in the City's NCCP and identify strategies and/or
procedures with respect to restoring native habitats within the reserve system.
The management plan will also establish procedures to monitor covered species
g
populations ulations over time, status of restoration efforts, viability of habitat linkages,
potential adverse effects of human activities, and habitat changes over time in order to implement adaptive management of the reserve.
DFG Regional staff will be contacting you shortly to initiate the contract
g
processing procedures rocedures and to finalize the contract scope of work and budget.
During the interim we will need for you to initiate the process of obtaining a
resolution of authorization from your jurisdiction that confirms their approval of
the projects and grant monies.
In past years, we have received invoices from some jurisdictions for tasks
that are inconsistent with those identified in their contracts with DFG. In an effort
to improve our contracting process, we have developed more specific contract
language, and will only approve reimbursement for tasks that are consistent with
those identified in the contract. Any significant change to the tasks, or

expenditures that are not explicitly identified in the contract, will not be
reimbursed.
Thank you for your interest in the NCCP Program. We are looking forward
to working with you. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Dave Mayer,

Habitat Conservation Planning Branch
California Department of Fish and Game
1416 Ninth Street
Sacramento, CA 95814
Dear Ms. Presley,
We are very pleased that the Department of Fish and Game has awarded
local assistance grant funds for the development of a natural resource
management plan for the RPV NCCP Preserve. Although the direct
recipient of the funds is the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, as the official
Habitat Manager for the Preserve, the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land
Conservancy (PVPLC) will implement the development of the Plan, and the
funds will be passed through to our organization.
Attached please find a copy of a detailed budget for the grant. It includes a
f breakdown of budgeted expenditures by the PVPLC, both for the grant and
for the fulfillment of obligations required by the NCCP. Please note that the
deficit in our Portuguese Bend program area will be made up from
unrestricted donations.
The scope of work for the grant is as follows:
• Perform additional monitoring to provide supplemental baseline data for
the Management Plan ($54,000)
Three bids for monitoring were obtained, from. Dudek & Associates,
Jones & Stokes, and PCR. They were asked to bid on providing the
required baseline data (to be funded by PVPLC) as well as additional
monitoring to provide a more detailed evaluation of the condition of
some of the Covered Species. Based on those bids, Dudek & Associates
has been selected, with a bid of approximately $54,000 to provide
comprehensive rare plant surveys for Reserve areas, a protocol-level
California gnatcatcher survey, cactus wren survey, and a focused survey
for the El Segundo blue butterfly.
• Add additional staff to assist with baseline easement documentation
($33,800)
PVPLC has full-time Stewardship and Associate Directors with
credentials for doing the baseline documentation. It is expected that in
916 SILVER SPUR ROAD #1 08, ROLLING HILLS ESTATES, CA 91274- . 31 0.541.7613 F 310.541.7623 WWW.PVPLC.ORG
- futureY ears the restoration and easement monitoring will be performed
by the current PVPLC staff. However, for the first year, we plan to hire a
Stewardship Associate to assist with record-keeping and report
preparation. A copy of the job description currently posted on the Land
Trust Alliance and Returned Peace Corps Volunteer web pages is
attached. The budgeted cost covers salary and benefits.
+ Convert PVPLC accounting to GAAP ($800)
We have been doing our accounting on a modified cash basis. In order to
comply with the requirements of the NCCP and other grants, as of 2006,
we will be converting to Generally Accepted Accounting Procedures, and
there will be one-time costs for that change. Only a small part of the cost
would be charged to this grant.
• Supplies and Equipment Purchase ($7,000)
We have purchased a new computer to handle GIS data. We also plan to
purchase a large-format color printer so that we can prepare reports in
house. We will also be purchasing other computer equipment and
software to enable us to report data as required by the NCCP.
• Printing ($3,200)
There will be:additional reports and community outreach during the first
year
of the Plan, includingnewsletters to keep the public involved in Plan
implementation.
+ Travel and training _ ($1,200)
Our stewardship director is currently enrolled in a GIS class to enable
him to prepaite the required documentation for the Preserve. We have
budgeted for:him or other staff to attend selected conferences and
meetings to iwnprove our ability to manage the Preserve.
Thank you very much for your help with implementing the NCCP. Please
let us know what additional information you would like to have to move
forward on the contract. We are eager to start work as soon as possible so
that we can complete the full first year program of work using the best
possible science to make decisions.

Sub-Task 1B Reconnar nce Survey for Target Wildlife Species
111A single-pass survey
sing lfor a r ornia gnatcatcher and coastal cactus wren will be performed in all
.
potential habitat within the Reserve. Based on the habitat acreages contained in the NCCP Subarea
j
Plan, it appears that approximately 800 acres of habitat is present. The surveys will be conducted
pp p
accordingthe guidelines adopted by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for project sites
enrolled in the NCCP Program with regard to acreage covered per biologist per day and weather
111 restrictions. The USFWS will be notified of our intent to survey 10 days prior to the survey. Tape
playback back will be utilized to elicit responses from gnatcatcher and cactus wren. Surveys will be
conducted between 0500 and 1200 and will avoid periods of excessive heat (>950) and excessive
0 cold (<550), wind, rain, fog, or other inclement weather. Detected gnatcatchers and wrens will be
accurately mapped ed onto aerial photographs/topographic maps and the sex, age class, and breeding
status if known, will be noted. Observed nest locations will be mapped accurately. Wrens may nest
0 colonially in family groups; therefore family groups will be mapped and detected numbers noted.
Other information obtained will include slope, elevation, dominant vegetation types, and habitat
disturbances.

The basic survey methodology will be to conduct surveys by traversing all potential habitat for these
ii two bird species. Detailed notes regarding the areas traversed during the surveys will be kept in order
toe rovidconsistencyamong follow-up surveys. Survey locations and the general location of paths
p
traversed will be provided on maps for future reference to ensure that the basic survey methodology is
repeatable. This will improve consistency among surveys and increase the confidence level for data
11 p
comparison between survey events. Additionally, establishing a replicable survey methodology will
provide the ability to gather more consistent and accurate data in order to improve tracking the
population dynamics over the long-term for these two bird species.

ri The RFP also request surveys for El Segundo Blue Butterfly. However, we understand that the host
plant for this species, dune buckwheat (Eriogonum parvifolium), is currently only known to occur in
p �
inaccessible "neutral lands" on the peninsula. Therefore, surveys for this species are not included in
III thisosaro l. Dudek has coordinated with Gordon Pratt, Ph.D., a lepidopterist and local expert
p p
regarding this species, Aho has recommended surveying for the host plant in other areas of the
g g
Reserve. Dudek, along with the help of Dr. Pratt, can provide surveys for dune buckwheat, and if
present in the Reserve, for El Segundo Blue Butterfly, as additional services (see Optional Task 5). •

for three years following the completion of the plan. Specific predators already identified in the
Reserve, and known to have the potential to cause decline of the target species, include brown-

r,-,
predator species at the Trump National Golf Club habitat restoration sites and will make
recommendations for predator control based upon lessons learned about successful trapping
iiii measures at these sites. The Predator Control Plan will also address control measures for any
observed target plant species pests that may be causing a decline in target plant populations, such as
gophers, rabbits, ground squirrels or snails.

restoration efforts, including adjacency to existing habitat or development, access to the site, water
ii availability, density and species of exotic weeds present onsite or in adjacent areas, and level of prior
soil disturbance. Other factors that will also be assessed for each potential site include the potential
to provide quality habitat for target species and how visible the restoration site will be to the public. A
recent brush fire in May 2005 in the Portuguese Bend area on the peninsula may provide an ideal
Ili location for the 25-acre habitat restoration site. Once a final site is selected, a conceptual plan will

Optional Sub-Task 5A: Comprehensive Surveys for Target Plant Species
In accordance with the RFP, proposed surveys for the five target plant species will be in currently
known locations within the Reserve. However, because each of these species has the potential to
occur in a greater number of locations than currently known within the Reserve, Dudek recommends a
comprehensive rare plant survey of all suitable habitat locations for potentially-occurring target plant
species. The survey methodology proposed in Sub-Task 1 A above would be utilized for this task.
Additionally, if PVPLC has interest in documenting locations of additional rare plant species in the
Reserve, such as Catalina mariposa lily (Calochortus catalinae), Dudek would document the locations
111 of any additional rare plants observed in the Reserve during the surveys. As in Sub-Task 1A above, all
mapped data will be incorporated into a Geographical Information Systems (GIS) database so that
data can ueried and maps of plant populations can be prepared. Optional Sub-Task 5A is
q
additional survey work beyond what is proposed in Sub-Task 1 A.
Optional Sub-Task 5B: Protocol-level Coastal California Gnatcatcher Surveys
I
Because a e-p
sing lass survey for California gnatcatcher may not provide a reliable estimation of
baseline population limits and sizes, a more typical U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service-approved survey
methodology, consisting of three complete passes, is proposed. Coastal cactus wren surveys would
be conducted concurrently. Optional Sub-Task 5B includes the additional two passes beyond what is
proposed in Task 1 B.
(.1 Similarly to Sub-Task 1 B outlined above, the surveys will be performed in all potential habitat within
theI
roject area (approximately 800 acres). Surveys will be conducted according to the guidelines
111 p
adopted by the USFWS for project sites enrolled in the NCCP Program.
1111 Optional Sub-Task 5C: Focused Surveys for Dune Buckwheat
Dudek understands that the presence of dune buckwheat within the Reserve is currently only known to
be in "neutral lands" that are inaccessible to botanical surveyors. Dune buckwheat is the host plant
for El Segundo Blue Butterfly; therefore, its presence or absence within the Reserve would be important
information for managing critical habitat for the butterfly. In accordance with recommendations
provided by Dr. Pratt (lepidopterist), a focused survey for dune buckwheat would be conducted in all
potential habitat areas. Any observed occurrences of this species would be mapped using GPS •
equipment, and resulting data would be incorporated into a GIS database including biological
resources within the Reserve. Optional Sub-Task 5C is additional survey work beyond what is
proposed in Sub-Task 1 A, but could be combined with Optional Sub-Task 5A, if requested, to reduce
-
costs.
Optional Sub-Task 5D: Focused Surveys for El Segundo Blue Butterfly
As an optional task, Dudek, with the assistance of Dr. Pratt (lepidopterist), would provide focused
111. surveys for El Segundo Blue Butterfly. Due to the fact that the host plant for this species is only known
to occur within inaccessible "neutral lands" in the Reserve, focused surveys for El Segundo Blue
(.411 Butterfly would only be conducted if the host plant is detected during focused surveys, or if PVPLC
