INTRODUCTION The City of Rancho Palos Verdes is located on the Palos Verdes Peninsula on the southwest tip of Los Angeles County. The City exists in a very special setting comprised of 12.3 square miles of land and 7.5 miles of scenic coastline. The unique topography of the Palos Verdes Peninsula formed over millions of years of submerging and lifting from the Pacific Ocean. Approximately fifteen million years ago, the Palos Verdes Peninsula was submerged under the Pacific Ocean. The first emergence of the Peninsula, when the area became an island, occurred about three million years ago and coincided with the Ice Age. This island sank and re-emerged several times before being joined to the mainland after the ocean receded from the plains of Los Angeles. The forming of the Peninsula has resulted in the unique terrace configurations and natural settings observed today. One of the natural beauties of the Peninsula is the 160 -acre Forrestal Property. The Forrestal Property contains one of the City's best stands of undisturbed coastal sage scrub, which serves as habitat for the federally protected California gnatcatcher (Polioptila californica californica) and as habitat for ocean milk vetch (Astragalus trichopodus var. lonchus), the host plant for the Palos Verdes blue butterfly. In order to preserve the site's natural habitat while providing passive recreational opportunities to the residents of Rancho Palos Verdes and the general public, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes purchased the Forrestal Property in December of 1996 with funding from several sources: the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District, the California Wildlife Conservation Board, and the State Coastal Conservancy. Historically, this area was once mined by the Livingstone Truck and Material Company, which ceased its operations in 1956. During the next decades, several residential development projects were proposed for the property, with a project for 42 homes approved during the 1980's. That project contemplated significant changes to the topography that would have dramatically changed the appearance of the site. However, with the City's purchase of the property, that threat of development no longer exists. After purchasing the Forrestal Property, the City Council formed a Forrestal Sub- committee assigned with the task of preparing a plan to guide the maintenance and management of the property consistent with the habitat preserve and passive recreational park envisioned by the City. The Sub -committee was comprised of members from the City's Recreation and Parks Committee, the City's Equestrian Committee, the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy, the Los Serenos de Point Vicente docent members and City Staff. The Forrestal Sub -committee spent approximately one year preparing this Management Plan, which was subsequently reviewed and approved by the City's Recreation and Parks Committee, the Finance Advisory Committee, and eventually adopted by the City Council. On June 5, 2001, the City Council of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes adopted the Forrestal Management Plan and entered into an agreement with the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy for management of the Forrestal Nature Preserve. 1-1 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 The Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy had played a major role in identifying funding opportunities and in negotiating the acquisition of the Forrestal Property. The agreement signed in June 2001 accepted the Conservancy's offer to manage the property on the City's behalf. Under the agreement, the Conservancy will utilize its expertise and volunteers to undertake the day-to-day management of the Preserve consistent with the shared recreational and conservation goals for the property, while the City will continue to oversee the maintenance of the Preserve. This document, the Forrestal Management Plan, is intended to guide the management of the property toward the habitat preservation and recreational goals envisioned when the property was acquired, and to enhance this valuable public asset for habitat and passive recreation purposes. In order to oversee the implementation of the Forrestal Management Plan, in September 2001, a Advisory Board was formed, comprised of representatives from the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, and community members. The community members selected to serve on the Board represent various view points, such as a local homeowner's association representative, an equestrian representative, a natural resource/habitat representative and a trail expert. The Board meets on a monthly basis and serves in the capacity of a formal advisory body for the implementation of this Management Plan. Since the Committee will modify the recommendations for management as work continues and knowledge is gained about the Property, amendments to this Plan can be expected. Any amendments will be reviewed and approved by the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council. 1 -2 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 2. GOALS, PURPOSE, AND USE The general principles behind the Forrestal Management Plan are: 1. To ensure preservation of the significant natural habitat assets present at the Forrestal Nature Preserve; 2. To allow passive recreational opportunities on the Preserve; and, 3. To enhance or restore disturbed portions of the Preserve. 2.1 Goals and Objectives The foregoing principles are translated into the following specific goals: 1. Preserve and restore the natural habitat of the Forrestal Property. The focus of this goal will include preservation of existing significant habitat and plants including the coastal sage scrub plant community and the host plant for the Palos Verdes blue butterfly (Astragalus trichopodus var. lonchus). To achieve this goal, removal of invasive plants will be undertaken followed by restoration to natural habitat through replanting of native plants. 2. Provide passive recreational opportunities appropriate for persons of a wide range of abilities. This goal includes maintenance and enhancement of trails so that persons of all abilities can enjoy this public space and the natural experiences available at the site. Trails will be improved, or designed and constructed to provide different levels of difficulty as appropriate for the topography and potential habitat impacts. 3. Construct barriers and/or implement access restrictions in areas with steep cliffs and/or stability problems. This goal encompasses defining areas of safety concern, determining the appropriate control mechanisms, and implementing safety enhancing measures. 4. Resolve drainage issues on the site. This goal aims to implement appropriate drainage controls throughout the Preserve, including the use of erosion control on the trails. Additionally, the Quarry Bowl area, including the stream that enters the Quarry Bowl, should be addressed as deemed necessary. 5. Periodically monitor the property to create a history of the preservation/restoration work and the results of those efforts. 2-1 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 This goal aims at the creation of an ongoing record of the property and the restoration activities that have been undertaken. This activity will include annual inspections of the Preserve and documentation of the changes over the course of the year. This will include photo documentation from fixed photo points so that progress can be measured over time. 6. Provide informational and directional signs on the property to effectively direct recreational users throughout the site, and minimizing the size and number of signs in order to maintain the natural appearance of the property This goal recognizes the need for well planned and informative signs that will enhance the recreational users' experience at the site, but also realizes the need to minimize signs to maintain the natural feeling of the area to the greatest degree possible. 7. Provide educational opportunities for students and the general public regarding the unique and important plants, geology, animals, and birds that inhabit the Preserve. The focus of this goal is to continue educational opportunities within the Preserve including Los Serenos de Point Vicente Docent led tours of the site. Educational opportunities that develop an understanding of the unique assets and natural habitats that the Forrestal Preserve contains will be encouraged. 8. Discourage uses of the property that result in environmental degradation. This goal reinforces the need to balance potential recreational use of the property with the natural habitat restoration goals of the management plan. The Forrestal Management Plan will preserve the surrounding environment and natural habitat by prohibiting activities that will result in damage to the resources of the property. 2-2 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 3.

These proposals will be considered by the Board, and added to the list or denied. 1 3-5 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 If the Board feels that a proposed project is a desirable improvement that is not consistent with the Management, Plan, the PVPLC or the City can write an amendment to .the Management Plan, which will then need to be reviewed and approved by the City Council before the project can be added to the list. B. Public Works Projects - The City Public Works Department will identify projects necessary to improve drainage, stability or safety on the project. 3. Other Projects For any other projects proposed for implementation, the PVPLC will work with Advisory Board members, and other outside experts and project proponents to produce a Project Description (PD). This description will include the following: • Project parameters including a location map at a scale sufficient to identify the impact area of the project; ■ Description of need for the project ■ Identification of location of vegetation and/or sensitive species that may be impacted by the project • Budget and funding source for the work (volunteer, time is an acceptable source) • Project schedule • Projected maintenance requirements • Project materials The Project Description shall be reviewed by the Advisory Board. The PVPLC will make a recommendation regarding the amount and level of biological review, if any, to be conducted by a qualified biologist approved by the Department of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement and the PVPLC. If a review by a qualified biologist is recommended, any recommendations of that expert will be incorporated into the PD before the project moves forward. The Department of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement will make a determination regarding the amount and level of review, if any, by the following: • City liability ■ Review by the Public Works Department • Review under CEQA • Review by streambed permitting agencies The Advisory Board will participate in any review effort for the project. 3-6 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 The project will proceed when all required review is completed and the project meets whatever standards, conditions, or requirements may be imposed during the review process and when funding is available.

Project Implemented 1 3.7 Funding IThere are a number of funding sources that should be explored to determine the possibility of funding both the initial and ongoing work on the Forrestal property. The 1 following is a brief description of three possible funding sources. In the past, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes has worked closely with a variety of I Federal and State Government organizations to pursue and obtain funds for a number of comparable projects. Although most government agencies supply the necessary forms used to apply for grants, it is imperative to follow each agency's I instructions when applying for money. It is equally important to adhere to the published timeline for the application process. f 3-8 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 1 1. Foundations Foundations are another possible source of funds for the work at Forrestal. Foundations differ from governmental agencies in that they have varied criteria for awarding grants. 2. Corporate Philanthropy Funding could be obtained from the private business sector. Many major corporations set up their own philanthropic foundations to assist non-profit organizations. These kind of gifts, while numerous and varied, are often more difficult to locate. 3. Charitable Donations Charitable donations from local residents are another possible source of funding. Funding from tax-deductible charitable donations to the PVPLC can be used toward the ongoing maintenance of the Forrestal Nature Preserve. 3.8 Volunteer / Educational Opportunities 1. Volunteer Opportunities Los Serenos de Point Vicente Docents, a volunteer organization of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, leads pre -arranged organized hikes on a year-round basis. The hikes generally last two hours and usually include a tour of the Ladera Linda Discovery Room. The tours can be modified to suit a specific group's age, hiking ability, or area of interest such as merit badge requirements, geology, fossils, etc. Currently, the majority of pre -arranged, educational hikes are for scout or school groups. There are no regular published times for tours; a volunteer docent -coordinator monitors a City -operated hike line and coordinates the hike schedule with hike leaders, City staff, and the visiting group. Groups range in size from 10-60. Additionally, volunteers will be needed for the Educational Trails Unit to educate users of the Preserve to be responsible trail users. A training program will be required of ETU volunteers (see Chapter 7 for more detail). Volunteer efforts may also include trail maintenance and trash removal. Such volunteer efforts are routinely performed by scouts and other organizations that conduct community services. 2. Educational Opportunities 3-9 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 The Forrestal Preserve is an extraordinary resource for education and provides an excellent opportunity to improve public awareness and appreciation of the species, habitat, and natural environment of the preserve. Educational efforts can contribute to improved protection of this valuable resource and should be encouraged. Los Serenos and PVPLC currently provide guided hikes through the Preserve as well as other educational programs. Other organizations having specific ecological, biological, wildlife, and plant expertise such as the California Native Plant Society (CNPS); Audubon; Endangered Habitats League; and California Invasive Plant Council (Cal IPC) should be encouraged to provide educational programs in the preserve. ,Benefits of education programs in and about the Preserve include: • To introduce the public to the natural resources of the Preserve and to promote the enjoyment and appreciation of those natural resources. • To provide accurate and up-to-date information about the flora, fauna, and ecology of the Preserve and related issues. • To foster an understanding of ecological relationships between species; seasonal and climatic adaptations of local native plants and wildlife; variations and characteristics of the different vegetation communities within the preserve; habitat needs; potential impacts to habitat and wildlife; and other topics. • To provide a range of educational resources ranging from a basic introductory appreciation level to a level of more sophisticated detail and understanding of the natural resources in the Preserve. • To motivate people to volunteer to assist in the management and care of the natural resources of the Preserve. • To encourage residents surrounding the Preserve and recreational users in and around the Preserve to make responsible choices in their own landscaping and activities that may affect the Preserve. • To provide the public with an accessible rationale for decisions that are made in habitat management for the Preserve. • To encourage biological and ecological research and continuing education. 3-10 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 4. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES The 160 -acre Forrestal Nature Preserve contains one of the City's best -stands of undisturbed natural habitat. This chapter describes the biological character of the site in terms of flora and fauna. Furthermore, the biologic condition of the site is discussed in terms of restoration and preservation. 4.1 Existing Conditions The vast majority of the Preserve is populated with native vegetation comprised dominantly of coastal sage scrub habitat. Although the site has been disturbed in the past by mining activities, much of the site was left undisturbed and is now home to some of the best coastal sage scrub in the City and to a number of animal species that rely on this unique plant community. The Resource Inventory section that follows, details the plant communities and the significant species that have been documented on the Forrestal Property. In addition to the coastal sage scrub, there is southern cactus scrub to the west of Intrepid Drive and on the upper slopes, as well as a disturbed area with ruderal vegetation and annual grassland at the southeastern corner of the property. This disturbed area abuts Forrestal Drive and the neighboring residential development to the east. Although the quality of the natural habitat on the property is very good, there remain areas of invasive plants which should be removed from the site. The most significant invasive plant is fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), which is not native to California. Significant stands of this invasive exist in the lower southeastern corner of the property, and smaller stands exist in other parts of the property. In addition to the fennel, there are small pockets of other invasives including iceplant, garland daisy, mustard, castor bean and pampas grass. The Forrestal Property contains a stream that trickles at the surface almost year round. The stream ends in the northwestern quarry bowl area where the water percolates into the ground. Although there are some non-native plants within the riparian areas, restoration efforts have removed many of them. Native riparian vegetation, such as willow (Salix lasiolepis), and giant wild rye grass (Leymus condensatus), occurs in the canyons. 4-1 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 4.2 Resource Inventory) 1.

Noted as a sensitive species in the City's Draft NCCP Noted as a sensitive species in the City's Draft NCCP Significant native plant species present on the site also include paintbrush (Castilleja anis); golden yarrow (Eriophyllum confertiflorum); bedstraw (Galium angustifolium); perezia (Acourtia microcephala), and the locally rare small -flowered morning glory (Convolvulus simulans) populations. 1 Most of the information contained in this section was compiled from the maps and documentation prepared by and for the City of Rancho Palos Verdes in conjunction with the preparation of a Natural Community Conservation Plan. 4-2 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 In addition to the previously listed plants, a number of other plant species either occur or are likely to occur on the site. A listing of these species is contained in Appendix A of this plan. In the vegetation map prepared by and for the City of Rancho Palos Verdes in conjunction with the preparation of a Natural Communities Conservation Plan, the majority of the vegetation on the Forrestal Property is characterized as coastal sage scrub, which is a plant community comprised of low, soft -woody subshrubs to about 1 meter in height. The coastal sage scrub community in that map is further categorized based on the dominant plant in a given area, as follows: • Artemisia Dominated Scrub • Eriogonum Dominated Scrub • Salvia Dominated Scrub • Encelia Dominated Scrub • Baccharis Dominated Scrub • Rhus Dominated Scrub As indicated in the ,NCCP mapping for this area, the main differentiations present on the Forrestal Property are the Rhus Dominated and Artemisia Dominated communities, with a significant portion of the site categorized as undifferentiated coastal sage scrub indicating that there is no single dominant plant. It should be understood, however, that the NCCP mapping was not done to a level of detail where dominant species were determined for all vegetation communities. In addition to the cage scrub plant communities, there is a small pocket of southern cactus scrub identified just to the west of Intrepid Drive. This plant community is characterized as )ow -density scrub with succulent shrubs consisting primarily of prickly pear species and coastal cholla, with a limited presence of the plants found in the coastal sage scrub community (see Appendix C). A more detailed vegetation map will be compiled as basis for future vegetation management and restoration projects. 2. Fauna The following Table identifies the species of fauna of significance which have been noted on the Forrestal Property presently and historically. Common Name Botanical Name Palos Verdes Blue Glaucopsyche lygdamus Butterfly palosverdesens 4-3 Notes This endangered species was historically sighted at several locations on the Forrestal property, and is noted as a Target ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 Common Name California Gnatcatcher Polioptila californica californica Botanical Name Coastal Cactus Wren Campylorhynchuys brunneicapillus cousi Pacific Pocket Mouse Perognathus longimembris pacificus Notes Species in the City's Draft NCCP. This threatened species is noted as a target species of the City's Draft NCCP. This species is noted as a target species of the City's Draft NCCP. This species has not been documented on the site; however there is a small area of habitat at the northeastern corner of the property which meets the typical characteristics required by the pacific pocket mouse. This species is noted as target species in the City's Draft NCCP. The approximate locations of past sightings are identified on the map attached as Appendix C. In addition to the above fauna of particular significance, a number of other animal species either occur or are likely to occur on the site. A listing of these species is contained in Appendix B of this plan. The above species of animals rely on the coastal sage scrub and/or southern cactus scrub plant communities, and are an integral component of this dwindling ecosystem. 4.3 Areas of Preservation As discussed in the prior sections, a majority of the Forrestal Property is populated with high quality coastal sage scrub (CSS), and therefore requires little remedial work other than ensuring that the stands are not degraded. Through trail maintenance and efforts to keep users of the property on the trails, impacts to the existing CSS should be minimal. Additionally, as discussed in Section 11 — Annual Inspection, ongoing monitoring of the site and identification of appropriate future preservation measures should achieve the preservation goals. The northeastern section of the property (above and beyond the Quarry Bowl) and the area following along the City of Rancho Palos Verdes' shared boundary with Rolling Hills have low occurrences of invasive vegetation, however, they should be monitored for the potential occurrence of invasives such as Euphorbia terracing. The 4-4 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 lower areas of the property (on a pseudo plateau above Forrestal Drive) and the portion to the west of Intrepid Drive include patches of invasive materials. The high quality CSS that exists in these areas should be preserved and invasive plants removed, as discussed in the following section. Appendix C includes a map that identifies the rough boundaries of areas that should be restored, and all other unmarked areas are those which should be preserved. This appendix will be updated over time as additional detailed information becomes available. 4.4 Areas of Restoration The Forrestal Property is largely vegetated with high quality CSS, which requires little or no restoration or revegetation. However, some areas of the site contain invasive plant species. In order to bring the property back to its natural condition, these invasive materials should be removed, and where necessary, the area should be replanted with native materials. The information available at the time of the drafting of this plan does not contain the detail necessary to definitively establish all areas that require removal of invasive materials. However, significant stands of fennel exist in the southeasterly portions of the property (south of the Quarry Bowl and west of the intersection of Hightide Drive and Oceanridge Drive), and iceplant has been noted on the eastern side of the Quarry Bowl Trails south of the Quarry Bowl itself. As part of the ongoing management of the property, detailed information on the areas in need of restoration will be compiled, and integrated into the implementation plan for completion of the restoration activities. A plan will be prepared for proposed restoration projects, to include the exact areas of restoration, what should be removed, and what (if any) replacement materials should be planted. Any replanting should be completed in a manner that minimizes the need for irrigation, and takes advantage of the seasonal precipitation patterns to the greatest degree feasible. The vegetation map in Appendix C identifies the rough boundaries of areas that should be inventoried and reviewed for potential restoration activities. This appendix will be updated over time as additional detailed information becomes available. 4.5 Collection Policy Collection of specimen material must be tightly controlled on the site due to the potential impacts to biological resources. The following policies (as shown in Appendix D) shall apply: u Collecting of rocks, minerals, fossils and bones on a recreational basis is allowed, with the restriction that people can only remove what they can carry in their hands. Reporting of significant finds to the City or the PVPLC is 4-5 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 required, and . items of archeological, mineralogical, historical or paleontological importance must be turned over to the Point Vicente Interpretive Center. Commercial and/or large-scale removal of materials is prohibited and will be controlled by staff and volunteers. Collection activities must not disturb plants or wildlife. ❑ Collecting of plant material or flowers is generally forbidden due to its potential impacts to plant reproduction and on fauna which may be dependent on the plants for food and habitat, and due to the potential impact on soil erosion and geological stability. Collecting of seeds and cuttings may be permitted only with the written permission of the City and the PVPLC. ❑ Research on and collection of insects and birds may be permitted only with the appropriate agency permits and the written permission of the City and the PVPLC. All entities shall receive a copy of the research results. 4-6 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 5. CULTURAL RESOURCES The history of Rancho Palos Verdes goes back much farther than the days of El Rancho de los Palos Verdes. There are no written records that document man's activities during these times, often erroneously called "pre -history." The only records that exist are uncovered from archaeological sites. Through careful excavation of archaeological sites, information may be obtained that provides insight on earlier times. Through the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), archaeological sites are to be considered resources that may be adversely impacted by a project. 5.1 Cultural Resources Southern California has had human residents for at least 10,000 years. Preliminary archaeological researches on the Palos Verdes Peninsula have identified a number of sites, some more than 5,000 years in age. The Forrestal Property lies within a larger region identified as an archaeologically sensitive area in the Rancho Palos Verdes General Plan. Significant Native American artifacts have been found in Abalone Cove and other sites in Rancho Palos Verdes; San Pedro and the harbor area --previously an extensive wetlands/estuary--were relatively heavily populated, according to early historical accounts, and it is not unlikely that prehistoric artifacts may be found on the Forrestal Property. Over the last two centuries, historical ranching, whaling, farming, quarrying, and other subsistence and commercial activities have been pursued in the vicinity of the Forrestal Property, and may have left physical traces on the site. Management policy regarding cultural resources on the Forrestal Property should address the issues of balancing public access and safety with protection of cultural resources; sensitivity to groups whose cultural remains may lie within the property; criteria for evaluating proposals for archaeological research and its impacts on cultural, biological, and geological resources, and area hydrology. 5.2 Site Archaeology A "cultural evaluation" of the Forrestal Property, consisting of a review of archival records and a systematic walkover examination, was conducted by A.V. Eggers as one component of a 1979 Environmental Impact Report. No archaeological resources were reported on the property. The 1979 site survey was unable to systematically examine all of the parcel, due to the particularly dense vegetation in areas, such as the Northeast corner of the property, which was cited as being "relatively attractive as a potential Indian campsite" because of the proximity of fresh water and lithic resources, and salient landscape features (numerous sites across Southern California have been identified on or near bluffs, ridges, and other strategic viewpoints). The 1979 report does not address historic cultural resources (i.e. dating since Juan 5-1 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 Rodriguez Cabrillo's arrival during 1542-43), which might include artifacts introduced in the course of ranching, whaling, commercial shipping, farming, mining and other activities. 5.3 Site Degradation Around 1920, the Livingstone Truck and Material Co. used the site for quarry material, primarily basalt. Some of the basalt taken from the quarry was used in building breakwaters around Long Beach Harbor. The quarry was closed in 1956. The mining activities created a range of slope conditions, which include near vertical walls in some areas. After mining ceased, a number of developers conducted extensive geological tests and surveys for the purpose of building residential tracts. No houses were ever built in the area. In 1992, the City was granted Measure "A" Funds, in addition to other funding, to purchase the Forrestal property to be designated as open space. The City, along with the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy, began negotiations to purchase the Forrestal property from Diamond Brothers Developers. Ownership of the property was transferred to the City in December of 1996. Because of developments during the 20th century, particularly the operation of the quarry site, much of the site has been seriously degraded as a potential cultural resource. Nonetheless, there are extensive areas of the property which do not appear to have been substantially impacted by quarry operations, geologic borings, landscape grading, plowing, discing, or other potentially destructive activities. 5.4 Cultural Resource Management While reconstruction of local and regional history is an important goal, it cannot be achieved haphazardly; there is at present no compelling reason to aggressively seek and recover cultural resources. The highest priority should be to minimize the risk of degradation or destruction of any cultural resources which may exist on the parcel. Cultural resources on the Forrestal Property should be managed passively, given the intended use of the site as passive open space, and the fact that active search techniques, such as excavation, can significantly reduce the informational value of artifacts by removing them from, and often destroying, their context and associations. Guidelines should be established to: A. Prevent unintentional impacts on cultural resources. B. Identify and consult appropriate archaeological, cultural, and legal authorities in conjunction with any proposed impacts or modifications of the property. 5-2 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 C. Develop criteria for evaluating proposals for legitimate archaeological research as well as its probable impact on cultural, biological, and geological resources, area hydrology, and public access and use of the property. Except in the case of critical/emergency operations requiring immediate action, any proposed activities or operations involving significant modification of undisturbed (i.e. non-quarried)areas, especially any operations likely to disturb the subsurface of areas of potential archaeological significance, must be conducted in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, as established by appropriate counsel prior to undertaking the proposed action. Archaeological research methods vary substantially in their impacts on cultural, biotic, pedological, hydrological and geological resources, and on public access and use. Remote sensing (e.g. from airplanes or satellites) is benign; surface reconnaissance and the use of relatively nonintrusive technologies such as ground -penetrating radar, metal detectors, and electrical conductivity sensors, involve a moderate level of impact; and excavation may have major impacts. Any research proposal should describe, in detail, sampling strategies and likely impacts. No excavation or other high -impact activities should be permitted unless there is significant evidence from minimally - intrusive remote sensing or surface reconnaissance to justify the impact. Any requests/proposals for research within the Preserve should be evaluated in terms of the qualifications of ,the investigators; the goals, objectives, and methods of research, including sampling strategies; the availability of resources sufficient to complete their search in a timely matter; impacts on cultural, biotic, and other resources, and public access and use ofl thero ert . The evaluation of proposals should include p p Y consultations with thq City of Rancho Palos Verdes, representatives of the Tongva/ Gabrielino tribe, the California Native Heritage Commission, and other relevant organizations. Any intrusive research should include consultation with a trained Tongva/Gabrielino site monitor and/or other appropriate representatives of impacted groups. 5-3 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 6. GEOLOGY, HYDROLOGY, AND MINERALOGY The Forrestal Nature Preserve is the product of complex geological forces and significant human impacts, the combination of which raise safety and access issues regarding management and use. There are fundamental conflicts between the competing goals of optimizing public access and use, alleviating safety hazards, and preserving/restoring native habitat. The following chapter addresses, in order, natural conditions and resources, historical modifications/impacts, geological hazards, hydrological hazards, remediation options, and management recommendations. 6.1 Natural Conditions and Resources The geology of the Palos Verdes Peninsula is dominated by a northwest -trending, doubly -plunging anticline, the core of which was uplifted during the Pleistocene epoch. The foundation material is Mesozoic Catalina schist, overlain particularly during the Miocene epoch by Monterey Formation elements, including Altamira shale, Valmonte diatomite, and Malaga mudstone. Miocene volcanism introduced basaltic materials as well, causing metamorphism of some adjacent rock and also depositing ash. The volcanic materials were degraded and compacted in many areas to form layers of impermeable bentonite clays between other rock strata. Soils around the peninsula are typically expansive clays which absorb moisture and expand when wet, then contract as they dry out. The Forrestal Parcel shares the general features of the peninsula. The dominant geological feature is an anticlinal fold axis running parallel to the face of the quarry; there are several subsidiary folds, which generally have steep dip points around the folds. Elevations on the parcel range from 280 feet along Klondike Canyon on the western boundary to 1200 feet in the northeastern section. Near -surface geological strata are characterized as basalt/volcanics (Tb) and Altamira shale (Tma), the latter composed of interbedded tuff, bentonite, clayey siltstone, shale, silicious shale, fine- grained dolomite, and minor deposits of sandstone. The Altamira shale ranges from 19 to 80 feet in thickness. Basalt/volcanic materials increase upslope, and are up to 300 feet thick. As a result of uplifting, there are three distinct areas of fluvial terrace deposits, with marine deposits as well at the base. Surficial deposits of soil, slope wash, talus, and alluvium reach a maximum depth of about 55 feet along the lower channel of Klondike Canyon. Surveys suggest that there are several ancient landslide areas on the parcel, above the historic quarry areas. There are no significant seismic faults. One USGS blue line stream flows across the property. As a result of deposition from mineral -bearing groundwater, dip joints and other fractures are typically filled with barite or dolomite, and Tess commonly with gypsum or clay. Sulfide -bearing rocks are prevalent in subareas of the parcel, notable under the degraded stretch of Forrestal Drive. Crystalline materials such as quartz, barite and dolomite are found in quantities that attract recreational 6-1 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 collectors, but are generally not sufficient for commercial development. Quantities of phosphatic rock, diatomite, and silicious limestone ("Palos Verdes Rock") are negligible. Although oil has been extracted from as near as three miles to the north, there is none at the Forrestal Parcel. 6.2 Historical Modifications and Impacts The 160 acres of the Forrestal property lie north and west of Forrestal Drive, less than a mile from the coastal bluffs overlooking the Pacific. The site has a diverse topography that is a result of both natural and human. processes. Forrestal was formerly known as the Goode and Goode parcel. The Forrestal Parcel has been significantly altered during the 20th century, in particular as a consequence of the operation of the Livingston Quarry, which extracted basalt from the 1920s until 1956. The primary quarrying area was along what is now the western extension of Forrestal Drive; roughly 500,000 cubic yards were also removed from the Quarry Bowl area in the eastern portion of the property. Blasting operations contributed to destabilization and degradation of remnant basaltic materials and adjacent sedimentary strata, and increased their permeability. Waste materials from the quarry were used on site as fill, or to construct working surfaces. Additional grading, including introduction of certified compacted fill, was completed in 1969 for development of the Ladera Linda School athletic fields. Recreational activities, particularly the use of off-road motorcycles, have denuded some areas and contributed to erosion problems. Among the consequences of these historic modifications are geological and hydrological hazards, which are discussed in the two following sections. 6.3 Geological Hazards The Forrestal Preserve is subject to a variety of natural geological hazards, some of which have been exacerbated by human activities in past decades. Although there are no seismic faults on the parcel, and no major risk of liquefaction, the area is nonetheless vulnerable to stresses originating on major faults in the surrounding region of Southern California. The Newport -Inglewood Fault, among others, is capable of generating significant accelerations with the potential for impacting the Forrestal property. Landsliding is a regional concern due to the existence of seaward -dipping sedimentary strata with weak shear strength, which in many areas are undercut at the base by wave action. Landsliding characteristically occurs above impermeable bentonite clay strata, when heavy rainfall has saturated overlying expansive clay soils and rock strata, and lubricated the bentonite layers. Major seismic events can also trigger landslides. There are several areas of ancient landsliding on the Forrestal Preserve, and some minor recent slides in the Quarry Bowl area; several significant slides have occurred adjacent to the property in recent decades, notably the Klondike 6-2 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 1 Canyon, Flying Triangle, and Portuguese Bend landslides to the immediate northwest and west. ' The recent slides in the Quarry Bowl area are believed to have resulted from the removal of anchoring materials in the course of quarry excavations. In general, the ' presence of more stable basaltic intrusions reduces the likelihood of sliding for the less stable Monterey Formation materials; The installation of dewatering pumps has helped stabilize the area of the Forrestal Parcel immediately adjacent to Klondike Canyon. Quarrying activities on the Forrestal Parcel have created another set of problems, particularly rockfall hazards. Geotechnical studies have identified incipient failure blocks typically 2 to 4 feet thick, 10 tol 5 feet long, and 10 to 20 feet deep where the steepness and height of quarry walls have induced tension cracking, often magnifying fracturing degradation associated with quarry blasting operations. While the possibility exists for toppling or sliding failure, triggered perhaps by seismic events or heavy rainfall, the ' potential for large scale rockslides has been judged by City consultants to be low to negligible. While large-scale failure is unlikely, ongoing small-scale raveling is evident, and poses a potential hazard, albeit one difficult to compute with any reliability. Because the quarry walls in many areas exceed the angle of repose of the component materials, and are subject to surficial degradation as a consequence of the expansion and contraction of soils and rock strata, small-scale rockfall is inevitable. Loose rocks on the quarry faces which range up to 225 feet in overall height, up to 100 feet in sheer vertical faces also present something of an attractive nuisance problem with rock climbers, who may attempt to use unstable rocks as handholds or footholds. Similarly, hikers who approach the rim of the main quarry or Quarry Bowl may find insecure footing, and risk 1 falling. In addition to the Quarry Bowl rock -fall concern, the area along and at the end of Forrestal Drive to the western edge of the property has the potential for rockfall. Furthermore, the terrace drains located along Forrestal Drive are undermined and have the potential to collapse. These concerns can be addressed in various ways, each of which would include different costs and different impacts to the site and to trail usage. As a precautionary measure, it is advised that the trail segments in these areas be temporarily closed from public use with the installation of warning signs. 1 6.4 Hydrological Hazards Hydrological concerns on the Forrestal property center around runoff and related issues of ponding and groundwater. There is one blue line stream on the parcel, (although there is some question as to whether it is fed wholly from natural sources, or significantly augmented by domestic sources). Quarrying operations and subsequent modifications of the land surface have altered both surface and subsurface flow, interacting with geological conditions affecting the stability of soil and rock strata. The only significant ponding occurs in the Quarry Bowl, where surface drainage from roughly 80 acres of land upslope has been obstructed, and as a consequence, runoff collects 6-3 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 until it either evaporates or percolates into the ground. Percolation has also been intensified as a result of the quarry's use of explosives which fractured and degraded the basalt formations and increased their permeability. It is believed that the Quarry Bowl ultimately drains into Klondike Canyon, at or below the toe of the slide. Groundwater surveys have generally not detected saturation in borings to 75 feet on the site; a boring in the northwest corner of the parcel, near the Klondike Canyon slide, found groundwater at depths of 81 to 98 feet. South of the parcel, in lower Klondike Canyon near the beach, water has been found at depths of 66 to 96 feet. Degradation of the Forrestal road surface and adjacent concrete retaining structures is in part linked to surface and groundwater flow; water transports and dissolved sulfide deposits, reacting to form sulfuric acid, which degrades the asphalt and concrete. 6.5 Remediation Options During the extended period when residential development projects were proposed for portions of the Forrestal parcel, a number of remediation strategies were presented to address the hazards discussed in previous sections. Although many of them were intended specifically as elements of residential development plans, they nonetheless merit mention here. The most substantial remediation proposal involved extensive grading over two million cubic yards of cut and fill to alleviate both geological and hydrological hazards. 810,000 cubic yards of the total would have consisted of grading of residential sites, but the bulk of the operation would have been remedial grading to address geological and hydrological hazards by removing over a million cubic yards from steep slopes and unstable areas, and using the resultant cut material as strategically placed fill to improve surface drainage and stabilize potential slide areas. This estimate was based on the assumption that the slope needed to be reduced to at least 1.5:1 gradient in order to achieve the angle of repose of local geological materials and thereby adequately alleviate geological hazards. The more comprehensive grading proposal above addressed slope and drainage issues in both the western area of the parcel along the Forrestal Drive extension, and in the Quarry Bowl in the eastern area of the parcel. Alternative grading proposals have been submitted concentrating only on the Quarry Bowl in the eastern section of the parcel. The City Geotechnical Engineer determined that a minimum of 400,000 cubic yards of fill material would be required to buttress a landslide block on the northwest slope of the Quarry Bowl, and eliminate the ponding area to prevent it from recharging the water table. The developer's engineer subsequently concluded that it would require a minimum of 95,000 cubic yards of fill in the Quarry Bowl to eliminate ponding, provide surface for installation of drainage control facilities, and achieve a 3:1 slope gradient (the maximum gradient not requiring drainage benches by code); the city geologist, as previously noted, has indicated that a 3:1 slope gradient would not adequately alleviate geological hazards. 6-4 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 Other proposals to reduce the risk of Iandsliding and associated hydrological hazards have included the installation of groundwater monitoring/dewatering wells; installation of drains and berms to direct runoff toward storm drains; and intensive planting of native, xeriphytic vegetation (with an irrigation system in some proposals) in order to stabilize soils, reduce erosion, and remove groundwater by plant transpiration. To mitigate rockfall hazards, installation of catchment fences or berms to catch falling debris has been proposed. The costs, benefits and other impacts of these proposals are difficult to assess. Insofar as the parcel is no longer designated for residential development, the present discussion does not anticipate a need to prevent damage to residential properties or residents; and, by the same token, this discussion does not anticipate the availability of developer resources to cover the costs of extensive hazard mitigation. While potential geological and hydrological hazards are serious considerations, within the framework of the present plan for management of passive open space and wildlife habitat they must be weighed against costs, habitat impacts, and impacts on recreational use of the site. Extensive grading would carry a substantial price tag, and would require a considerable investment of city staff time and resources in reviewing plans and inspecting their execution in order to ensure compliance with relevant codes, rules, and regulations of the city and county, the South Coast Air Quality Management District, the state Department of Fish and Game, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and other entities. Any grading on site would probably necessitate contracting biological, archaeological and paleontological monitors. Grading would generate significant amounts of dust and other pollutants (CO, NOx, SOx, and reactive organic compounds) as well as noise and traffic (it was estimated that the 2 million cubic yard grading proposal would require approximately seven months, working five days a week from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., to complete). Erosion control on graded surfaces, and revegetation, would be additional considerations in conjunction with grading. In addition to construction costs, any catchment facilities for water runoff or falling rocks would require ongoing monitoring and maintenance, and periodic removal of debris and sediment; to accomplish these ends, access routes for personnel and equipment would also need to be built and maintained. In evaluating the geological hazards associated with rockfall from steepslopes, the city's consulting firm Moore and Taber reviewed the historical performance of steep slope cuts on the Forrestal parcel and elsewhere on the peninsula (cuts at Mainsail Drive; along Palos Verdes Drive South near Point Vicente; on Hawthorne Boulevard near RPV city hall; and the "Douglas Cut" on Palos Verdes Drive West in PVE). While these cuts vary in age, both the Douglas Cut and the Point Vicente cut (also referred to as the "miniature Douglas Cut") have been in place since prior to the 1933 Long Beach earthquake, and neither incorporated any drainage or other control measures. There is no record of significant rockfall or other geological failure at any of the sites from either the Long Beach earthquake or any subsequent tremors. Similarly, the review found relatively little erosion from any of the steep cut surfaces. 6-5 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 The great preponderance of tallus at all sites consisted of soil -to -gravel -sized material. The Forrestal cut slopes have accumulated some rocks up to 12 inches in diameter, and a rock two feet wide was observed at the base of one of the other cuts. The report concluded that the cut slopes were relatively stable, and that the potential for Targe scale rock slides is low to negligible. Particularly in light of the prioritization of habitat preservation and restoration, any hazard mitigation strategies need to be assessed in terms of their potential impact not only on listed and candidate species but also on overall habitat quality (as defined by Natural Communities Conservation Plan/NCCP criteria). 6.6 Management Recommendations Geological and hydrological conditions in the Forrestal Parcel are complex and pose a number of potentially significant hazards. Any management plan will entail costs and benefits not only financial, but aesthetic, biological, legal, etc. The challenge is to balance hazard reduction along with optimization of: (1) recreational access and use, and (2) habitat preservation and restoration. In view of the clear costs and unclear benefits, it is recommended that no grading measures be undertaken at this time. The risks of property damage or bodily harm from Iandsliding or rockfalls on the parcel are relatively low, and can be conveyed to site users by appropriate signage and/or installation of fencing: The impact of grading on listed and candidate species and habitat, as well as o,n user access, air quality, noise, etc., would be substantially negative. Steep slopQ hazards can be reduced by such management strategies as (1) restricting rock climbing and (2) keeping trails away from high risk areas at the base of, or atop,steep slopes. Again, in view of significant costs and ambiguous benefits, it is recommended that no measures be undertaken to modify surface or groundwater flow. The present ponding area in the Quarry BpwI enhances the habitat for many species of wildlife, including large numbers of migratory birds. The USGS-designated blue line stream that drains into the Quarry Bowl would potentially complicate efforts to modify the drainage, as federal and state agencies would have to be consulted. Construction of surface drainage facilities, or groundwater monitoring/dewatering wells would impact the habitat, recreational access, and aesthetics, without clear-cut benefits and would require periodic maintenance. Additionally, research of potential landslide agravation has concluded that impacts from this water source are speculative, as there has been no indication of accelerated movement in the past and that the dewatering wells in the Klondike Canyon area west of the Forrestal property are relatively low in production. Further, the costs of a study to definitively answer this question would be significant as groundwater flow patterns would need to be determined which would require many monitoring wells and the disturbance appurtenant to their installation. Since no substantial stability threat has been demonstrated or discovered to date, it may be advisable to leave the drainage characteristics of the site as they are rather than impact the natural features of the property. 6-6 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 The cross drains on the slope adjacent to Forrestal Drive are in a state of disrepair and are undermined in various locations. These drainage facilities must be repaired, or replaced with alternate drainage controls; given the slopes involved the costs for these repairs could be significant. In addition to the improvements to the cross drains on Forrestal, further improvements are recommended for the slopes off Intrepid Drive. In areas that cannot be repaired, trail routes; as indicated in Section 7, will be re-routed to maintain trail segments. 6.7 Collection Policy Collection of specimen material must be tightly controlled on the site due to the potential impacts to soil erosion, geologic stability, and biological resources. The following policies (as shown in Appendix D) shall apply: ■ Collecting of rocks, minerals, fossils and bones on a recreational basis is allowed, with the restriction that people can only remove what they can carry in their hands. Reporting of significant finds to the City or the PVPLC is required, and items of archeological, mineralogical, historical or paleontological importance must be turned over to the Point Vicente Interpretive Center. Commercial and/or large scale removal of materials is prohibited and will be controlled by staff and volunteers. • Collecting of plant material or flowers is generally forbidden due to its potential impacts to plant reproduction and on fauna which may be dependent on the plants for food and habitat, and due to the potential impact on soil erosion and geological stability. Collecting of seeds and cuttings may be permitted only with the written permission of the City and the PVPLC. • Research on and collection of insects and birds may be permitted only with the appropriate agency permits and the written permission of the City and the PVPLC. All entities shall receive a copy of the research results. Trail layout should seek to minimize impacts to erosion -prone areas, and should incorporate water -diversion barriers and other design/layout strategies to reduce erosion along trails. The management plan should include regularly scheduled monitoring of significant geological and hydrological conditions and features, both for inventory purposes and for feedback and refinement. 6-7 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 7. TRAILS For years, the general public and the City's Recreation and Parks Department have used the Forrestal property and its existing trails for recreational purposes and organized hikes with the permission of the owner. After the City assumed ownership of the Forrestal property in 1996, the trail system was reviewed for safety purposes, and maintenance repairs were completed to continue the ongoing recreational use of the site. On a regular basis, the City's docent organization, Los Serenos de Pt. Vicente, conducts organized hikes on some of the existing trails. As part of the Forrestal Management Plan, this chapter is dedicated to the preservation and maintenance of a network of trails. The Advisory Board has reviewed the existing trails in use on the property with the goal of creating a comprehensive trail system that would provide public access to the Preserve for passive recreation. Furthermore, the goal was to create a trail system that would leave large contiguous areas of habitat undivided in order to reduce detrimental edge effects and disturbance to wildlife and its habitat. The Advisory Board determined that there are existing trails that are generally consistent with the trail alignments identified for the Preserve by the City's Conceptual Trails Plan, including a series of trails that are part of, or connect to, the Palos Verdes Loop Trail. These trails are retained as the basis for the trail network within the Preserve presented in this section of the Forrestal Management Plan. Other trails currently in use by the public were added to the recommendation, in order to identify a functional trail system for the Preserve. Since there is a long record of shared uses on the site by different user groups without serious conflict or safety issues (See Appendix G, "Survey of Trail Use at Forrestal Nature Preserve"), many of the trails were designated for multiple uses. Figures 7.1 and 7.2 show the trail map and uses approved by the City Council. The current status and condition; restrictions on usage; scheduled or identified mitigation and upgrade projects; etc. are presented for each trail in the Trail Status Report, in Appendix E. This appendix will be updated annually by the Advisory Board and included in each Annual Report submitted by the Conservancy to the City. The implementation of the trail system described in this Plan will eventually result in a managed trail network. A project description will be prepared and reviewed as spelled out in Chapter 3, Plan Implementation, for any project that is determined to be necessary for trail safety and usability. The City's Conceptual Trails Plan in use today was approved by the City Council on January 22, 1990, and revised by the City Council on December 6, 1991 and September 7, 1993. The purpose of the Conceptual Trails Plan is to identify the trail opportunities within the community, so that the acquisition and development of new public trails, through new development proposals, public works projects, and voluntary efforts can be integrated into the City's existing public trails network. The 7-1 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 development of the Forrestal Management Plan will implement the Forrestal component of the Conceptual Trails Plan. 7.1 TRAIL GUIDELINES All of the trails that are included in the Management Plan are existing trails. The goal of the management effort is to provide safe trails for visitors to the Preserve and to minimize impacts to habitat. The trails should be managed for use by all age groups. Trail use designations have considered slope and safety factors, as well as the potential for erosion. The trails should be maintained in a manner that best uses the natural topography, provides the most comfortable hike, and provides access to open areas and vistas while avoiding impacts to sensitive natural areas. The route 'and configuration of a trail should avoid disruption of any native vegetation, habitat, or wildlife, as identified in the Natural Conservation Communities Plan (NCCP). The following discussion outlines the design elements required to maintain the existing trail segments: A. Tread and Trail Clearing Width Trail widths should be the minimum that is practical for the designated uses. Trails should not be widened solely to accommodate multiple uses. No trails should be widened unless there is compelling evidence that widening is need for safety and can be accomplished with the least possible damage to habitat. Tread and trail clearing limits should not exceed three (3) feet in width or +/- eighteen (18) inches from tread centerline. Turn -out or passing areas should not exceed three (3) feet from tread and trail clearing edge. All of the trails should be maintained so that they are clear of vegetation. Rocks or debris from trail maintenance activities must not be relocated in such as way as to potentially impact adjacent sensitive plant species, such as native bulbs and/or drought deciduous perennials. B. Grade (For New Trails Only) There is no plan to construct new trails within the Preserve. However, there may be cases where portions of trails may need to be reconstructed or relocated. Wherever possible, the course of a trail should follow the natural topography of the site. Trails should only be relocated if there is compelling evidence that the work is necessary for public safety. While the optimum grade should not exceed a maximum of 15%, existing trails should not be modified to reduce grades if current uses can continue without such modifications. Trail usage designation must be consistent with safety on existing trail grades. If switchbacks are determined to be necessary, they should be used on grades that exceed 15% for more than 300', or where a trail would not 7 -2 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 be stable on a steep slope. In some cases a short steep trail may be preferable to the additional scarring of switchbacks. C. Trail Surface Trails should be maintained with natural material, suitable for the trail use or surface. Areas needing attention should be maintained with materials, such as decomposed granite. Drainage control should be provided at appropriate points in such a way that the trail is not adversely affected by water erosion. 7.2 TRAILS NETWORK The following discussion addresses each trail segment within the Forrestal Nature Preserve as shown in Figure 7.1. To arrive at the trails network presented in Figure 7.1 and the definition of allowable uses presented in the Trails Usage Matrix, Figure 7.2, the Forrestal Advisory Board began a review of the trails within the Preserve in November 2001. This review consisted of three major activities. First, the Board held approximately 45 meetings over three years, all open to the public, including presentations on habitat preservation, equestrian interests, the local community's perspective, trail design, and public safety issues. The Board heard from experts and user groups in many areas, including representatives from the Palos Verdes Loop Trail Project, Ladera Linda Homeowners Association, Sierra Club, Concerned Off Road Bicyclists Association, Palos Verdes Peninsula Horsemens Association, Lomita Sheriff, and held a Saturday trail workshop at which experts from other jurisdictions shared information. Second, all of the existing trails were hiked by the committee on many occasions during scheduled meetings of the Advisory Board. Finally, the Board deliberated, segment by segment, to come up with its trail recommendations. The Trails Network Plan shown in Figure 7.1 and the Trails Usage Matrix shown in Figure 7.2 are the products of those deliberations, and were approved by the Advisory Board for inclusion in the Forrestal Nature Preserve Management Plan. The Advisory Board's recommendations for trails were forwarded to the City Council for review and approval. The Tails Network Plan contained in this Plan was adopted by the City Council on December 4, 2004 as a result of the approval process stated herein. Ongoing monitoring of the trails will be performed by PVPLC staff, as shown in the Monitoring Protocol included in Appendix F. The information generated by this monitoring will be included in the Annual Report to the City. Any concerns or issues of note will be reported to the Advisory Board or the City, as appropriate. An ongoing educational effort will be a key part of the management of the trail network. It will consist of the following components: 7-3 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 1. Signs at the entry points to the Preserve showing the Trails Network Map and the approved uses for each trail. 2. Trail maps available at the entry points. 3. Informational brochures about the Preserve. 4. An Educational Trails Unit (ETU) of volunteers from any and all users of the Preserve, to provide information about the sensitivity of the habitat, trail safety, and the importance of respecting the approved trail locations and uses. 5. The Advisory Board will hold an annual public workshop each fall to provide an opportunity for public comment on the trail plan, including the uses of each trail, proposed additions or deletions to the plan, and proposals for trail and other improvements to the Preserve. The Committee will then consider the public input and, if appropriate, make recommendations to the City Council for any changes to the Plan. 7.3 TRAIL SEGMENTS The Trails Network Plan is comprised of the following trail segments: Al2 DAUNTLESS TRAIL Route: This trail is part of the Palos Verdes Loop Trail.

PASSIVE RECREATIONAL AMENITIES The following chapter outlines the amenities, existing or proposed, on the Forrestal Property for passive recreational activity by the general public. These amenities provide specific activities to take place throughout the property. 8.1 Parking Facilities Based on the past use of the Forrestal Property, combined with existing parking spaces, parking is not anticipated to be a problem. No additional parking spaces need to be provided to satisfy the reasonable requirements of groups or individuals who want to visit the site. Furthermore, most larger organizations, such as school or scout groups, come by bus or car pool, so their impacts on parking are minimal. For daily use of the Forrestal Nature Preserve, there are seventeen (17) striped spaces in the Ladera Linda Community Center's main parking lot. In addition to the paved parking spaces at Ladera Linda, approximately sixty (60) unmarked spaces are available in a gated dirt parking lot located within walking distance to the Quarry Bowl trailhead. The dirt parking lot is open when the Ladera Linda Community Center is open, and can be made available for additional public use if arrangements are made with the City. Additional off-site parking spaces are available on Forrestal Drive before the entrance gate. For special events, parking is available on Forrestal Drive behind the gates provided that arrangements are made with the City to open the gate. 8.2 Bench Locations As a means of capturing coastal vistas, while providing trail users a designated rest area, the following sites have been identified as possible location for the installation of some type of simple, rustic bench or rock seating amenity (see map insert): 1. On the flat rocky area within the Quarry Bowl 2. Vista on Cristo Que Viento Trail 3. Vista at bend on Flying Mane Trail 4. Vista at equestrian destination on Basalt Trail 5. Vista at Packsaddle Trail 6. Vista on top of Fossil Hill, on Forrestal Vista Point Trail. 7. At the west end of Intrepid Drive Any benches or other seating amenities approved by the Steering Committee for the above locations will be situated along the appropriate trails and designed to blend with the natural environment through the use of materials such as wood or stone. Benches should be designed and treated to deter potential vandalism, and secured to the ground to prevent unauthorized removal or relocation. 8-1 DECEMBER 4, 2004 DRAFT 8.3 Water Locations Water fountains are currently available on sites adjacent to the Ladera Linda Community Center and the paddle tennis court area. Water facilities, such as drinking fountains, are not available on any of the trail routes. In order to inform hikers that water is not available along the trail routes, signs should be posted at the trail outlets that indicate the nearest location to water fountains. 8.4 Trash Bin Locations As a means of encouraging the public's role in the maintenance of the trails and the surrounding grounds, it is recommended that trash bins be installed at strategic locations that are accessible to the general public and City maintenance crews. The proposed trash bins will be constructed from materials that blend with the natural terrain. Trash bins will be located adjacent to those bench locations and at other appropriate locations that are easily accessible to City maintenance crews. For security reasons, it is recommended that the trash bins are mounted to the ground or chained to a solid structure, such as a sign pole or bench, to prevent tampering.

SIGNS 9.1 Sign Types Signs primarily serve to identify the general nature of a use or establishment, such as a product, place, person, or activity. As identification devices, signs should not subject the public to excessive visual competition, but rather be an appropriate identification device that naturally blends with the surrounding environment and other signs in the area. Signs provide a great deal of information to the public, and can perform the following functions: 1. Warning and Public Safety Signs - serves as warning devices, to keep visitors away from unsafe areas; 2. Informational Signs - provides information such as the approved uses, connections or destinations of trails, or permitted activities in a particular area. 3. Interpretive Signs - enhances public understanding of the history, geology, wildlife, habitat and special characteristics of an area. In conformance with the intent of the Sign Section of the Municipal Code, the size, shape, color and placement of all proposed signs located on the Forrestal Nature Preserve should be compatible with existing signs used throughout City's parks. Any major identification signs located in the public right-of-way should use the standard colors for City identification signs, which are blue, green and white. All identification signs shall be no larger than thirty-two (32) square feet and no higher than six (6) feet, as measured from adjacent grade. The proposed signs should be in the shape of a square or rectangle. Any sign within the right-of-way that does not conform with these requirements must be reviewed and approved by the City's Public Works Department. 9.2 Warning and Public Safety Signs The City Public Works Department shall be responsible for the design and placement of warning and public safety signs within the Preserve. Any proposed signs within the Preserve shall be reviewed and approved by the Director of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement prior to installation. It is recommended that precautionary "warning signs" be installed at designated areas deemed to be hazardous based on geologic instability concerns. The City's Public Works Director and the City's Geotechnical Consultant shall identify the exact on-site location for each precautionary "warning sign." 9-1 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 Precautionary "warning signs" relating to the temporary closure of certain trail segments should be posted at strategic and visible locations, pursuant to the City Attorney's guidance. These signs should feature graphic representations of the potential danger, based on the nature and location of the hazard. The placement and design of these signs should be reviewed by the Advisory Board prior to installation. 9.3 Informational Signs In consideration of the public's health, safety and general welfare, signs should be posted that provide information to users of the Preserve and outlining the rules and regulations of the City. The sign text should be consistent with signs on other City property. Informational signs should provide an overview map of the Preserve's trails network, with additional information about trail locations and uses. There should be additional signs at appropriate locations for each trail showing the trail name, distance, elevation change, permitted/prohibited uses for each trail segment and any other information as deemed appropriate. 9.4 Interpretive Signs Interpretive Signs should provide information to Preserve visitors about the habitat, geology and history of the Preserve. 1. Large signs, not to exceed thirty-two (32) square feet in area, outlining the basic rulesand regulations. These signs should include an overview map of the trails network and should be located at the Quarry Bowl Trailhead adjacent to Stalwart and at the junction of Stalwart and Intrepid. 2. Medium signs, not to exceed twenty (20) square feet in area, outlining the basic rules and regulations. The sign should include a welcoming statement and an overview map of the trails network. The medium sign should be placed at the trail entrance to the Forrestal Nature Preserve located at the end of Coolheights Drive. 3. Small signs, preferably made from carsonite material, should be provided throughout the trails network to indicate the distance, elevation change, name, and permitted/prohibited uses for each trail segment. It is recommended that these signs be posted at the trail heads. 9.5 Sign Review Process The specifications regarding proposed signs, including their general placement, should be reviewed and approved by the Forrestal Steering Committee prior to 9-2 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 installation. The installation of the signs located throughout the Forrestal Nature Preserve should be completed by the City's Public Works Department. Signs that are in a state of disrepair, vandalized, weathered or removed should be repaired immediately. The City's Public Works Department should be contacted when a sign is in need of repair. 9-3 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 10. MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE ISSUES 10.1 TRAIL MAINTENANCE Trails are to be maintained in accordance to the Trail Guidelines specified in Section 7 of this Management Plan. Maintenance crews will remove any overgrown vegetation from the trails, including overhead growth of trees and bushes that disrupt the trail patterns used by pedestrians or equestrians. In order to prevent any significant disturbance to surrounding vegetation, all trails will be maintained by hand, and every effort should be made to minimize impacts to the site. All prunings should be removed from the site. No clearing of trails is to be permitted beyond the designated trail width without first being reviewed and approved by a qualified biological consultant consistent with the Agreement between the City and the PVPLC. To the greatest extent feasible and the given available resources, the trails are to be maintained so that the surface is continuous and integral. Those areas that consist of soil are to be smooth, and after a yearly inspection any pits or erosion channels should be back filled and compacted. Surfaces such as decomposed granite should have any bald areas back filled. Accumulation of surface material will be smoothed onto the trail, and particular attention will be paid to erosion damage during the rainy season and to vegetation overgrowth during the growing season. In the event trail blockage or surface damage occurs and is reported by pedestrians or equestrians, special maintenance arrangements should be made correct the problem as soon as possible. Reports of such incidents shall be made to the City in a timely manner. 10.2 GARBAGE REMOVAL In accordance with Section 8 of this Management Plan, trash collection bins should be placed at the specified trailheads. These bins are to be maintained by the City of Rancho Palos Verdes on a regular basis as part of the regular trash collection service at the Ladera Linda Community Center. It is also recommended that periodically trash collection teams be dispatched throughout the trail system to remove any debris. 10.3 DRAINAGE CONTROL ON TRAILS Drainage breaks will be installed at critical locations in the trails. These breaks will be inspected after any storm that results in more than 1" of precipitation and should be maintained to assure that erosion does not render them ineffective. 10-1 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 Locations whereponding occurs are to be identified and plans for drainage of these areas will be created and implemented. 10.4 FIRE CONTROL As a designated wildlife management area, the Preserve is exempt from fire suppression requirements. Notwithstanding, it is a reasonable expectation for the City to conduct clearance of vegetation around structures in or around the Forrestal Nature Preserve where the City deems the vegetation removal to be necessary to protect public safety. Such fire management and fuel modification actions shall remain the City's responsibility, as specified in the Management Plan. The Los Angeles County Fire Department's rules should be adhered to at all times. 10.5 HANDICAP ACCESS Handicapped access will be provided where appropriate in accordance with the regulations and criteria of the Americans with Disabilities Act. 10.6 COMMUNITY SERVICES Since trail maintenance and trash removal are activities that lend themselves to volunteer opportunities, the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy will endeavor to enlist local volunteer groups in these projects. Scout Troops are a fertile ground for volunteers. The City and/or the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy will assist with planning and coordination of Gold Award and Eagle Scout projects suitable for the preserve. 10 -2 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 11. ANNUAL INSPECTION The following chapter outlines criteria to be used to manage the Forrestal Nature Preserve and to implement the programs set forth in this Management Plan for the preservation and restoration of the existing terrain. 11.1 PROCESS In accordance with the June 5, 2001 Management Agreement, the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy will be responsible for conducting the required annual inspections. The inspections will occur after the rainy season, usually in April. The inspection team should consist of a City Representative and one or more representatives from the Forrestal Nature Preserve Steering Committee. The inspection team will walk all of the trails to note any maintenance items requiring attention, as well as conducting an inventory of property to identify and document any changed conditions that occurred in the past year. In the course of the inspection the Project Inspection Report Sheet (Appendix H) must be completed. 11.2 PHOTO DOCUMENTATION During the first Annual Inspection a set of Baseline photographs will be taken. The points from which these photos are taken will be marked, and yearly photos will be taken from these same points. In addition to the established photo point locations, photographs will be taken of areas that require maintenance and areas with specific changed conditions during the prior year. In addition to the photographs described, aerial photographs of the entire area may also be taken periodically. Photo Point Establishment: Photo point locations have been chosen to capture large expanses of the project site. The combined photo point views include all areas of the site for future comparative purposes. This does not mean that all sections of the site require detailed photographs. In selecting photo point locations, areas of significant habitat have been avoided to preclude impact to such resources. Locations adjacent to the trails included in the plan have been chosen to minimize potential damage when the markers are installed and each following year when photos are taken. Modifications to the locations may be made if conditions change. Each photo point location should be identified in such a manner that consistency of viewpoint can be replicated. ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 Yearly Photographing Methods: All photographs should be taken with a high quality camera. A series of photographs should be taken from each photo point, meaning one in each direction necessary to capture all portions of the property visible from that point. A record of each photo (or series of photos) must be made each year. A standard form to be completed for each photo is attached as Appendix I. To ensure accuracy and completeness of the record, the form should be filled out at the time the photo (or series) is taken. 11.3 Vegetation Monitoring For Revegetation Areas When revegetation of areas of the site is undertaken, vegetation surveys should be completed prior to commencement, and at periodic intervals to monitor the progress of the effort. The inventories would ideally be completed in April after the rainy season. Monitoring methods will be defined in conjunction with any revegetation plans, but should consist of a 50 -meter point -transect and plot method. This method entails identification of a 50 meter by 5 meter area and a transect through the center of the plot, running the 50 meter length. The plot should be located in areas of homogeneous vegetation, and may be curved, or otherwise modified to accommodate smaller areas of revegetation. The plots should be marked so that the same area can be monitored by each survey to allow for valid comparison and to provide accurate information on revegetation progress. Once the 0.5 -meter points along the entire length of the transect are identified, these points are projected vertically, and the vegetation intercepting this vertical projection is documented. The presence of the plant is documented based on its height from the ground. Finally, a list of all plants present in the 250 square meter plot is made. A form for this documentation is attached as Appendix J. Appendix J includes a short and a long form for the documentation, and each should be used as appropriate. 11.4 Annual Report To The City After completion of the Annual Inspection by the Inspection Team, the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy (PVPLC) will prepare a report for the City Council's review. This report should be reviewed and approved by the Steering Committee and City staff before being submitted to the City Manager, in care of the Director of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement. It shall be submitted no later than 30 days from the anniversary date (June 5) of the Management Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to by the PVPLC and the City. 11 -2 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 The report must include, but is not limited to the following components: • Executive Summary — This should include anything significant occurring during the period, including revegetation and maintenance actions taken during the period and identification of maintenance needs observed during the annual inspection. • Project Inspection Report Sheet (See Appendix H). • Copies of the annual photo documentation and photo point record sheets (see Appendix 1). • Copies of any vegetation surveys completed during the prior year. 11 -3 ADOPTED: MARCH 15, 2005 12.

This monitoring will provide information for ongoing management and for the yearly review of trail configuration and uses. Each year the PVPLC does biological monitoring of the preserve. Many of the photographs at the established photo points show areas with trails. Up to ten ' additional sites will be selected to show areas of specific concern with respect to trails and trail uses. During the year, the location of trail monitoring photo points will be revised if conditions warrant. ' The Status Report required by the Forrestal Management Plan, combined with the Annual Report submitted in May of 2004 will serve as the baseline for the ' preserve monitoring. PVPLC staff will continue to perform a property review on a monthly basis, ' checking the site for its general condition, the health of the habitat, and any maintenance needs, in addition to noting activities on the site. The trail ' monitoring will be added to the monitoring already being performed, as follows: January Property review and trail monitoring, up to 20 photos taken iFebruary Property review March Property review and trail monitoring, up to 20 photos taken April Complete biological and trail monitoring, 60-75 photographs ' taken May Yearly report written; property review ' June Property review and trail monitoring, up to 20 photos taken July Property review August Property review and trail monitoring, up to 20 photos taken ' September Property review; annual public meeting to review trail configuration and uses and to recommend any changes to City Council ' October Property review November Property review and trail monitoring, up to 20 photos taken December Property review A new form that will be part of the property review will allow PVPLC staff to note ' the condition of each trail on a monthly basis.

To succeed in these the city's unique P P goals, this Subarea Plan will requiremanagementpractices and some land-use restrictions on conserved lands that give special consideration to the interface between developed lands and open space. Adaptive management measures and compatible adjacent land uses will minimize impacts to individuals or p � populations of covered species from development velo abuttingthe Reserve.A process for monitoring habitats and species in the Reserve will help to improve the effectiveness of resource management.The following p compatible land uses and development within and adjacent to the sections establish general guidelines for of the Reserve and provide a framework for consistent and coordinated management and monitoring Reserve.

Numbers of adults detected and condition of the larval habitat will be assessed and reported annually. 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.

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 Conserving Ca1T[ornia'5 WilTi4fe Since 1870 • Jr. Joel Rojas Page 2 drober 12, 2005 expenditures that are not explicitly identified in the contract, will not be reimbursed.

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. Sinc- 411W 1011.

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. ii . 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. 1 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). • 111 Sub-Task 1C Preparation of a Monitoring Report 11 Dudek willp repare an Initial Management and Monitoring Report that details the results of monitoring efforts for target plant and animal species known to occur, or having the potential to occur, in the 9 studyarea, includingaphanisma, south coast saltbush, bright green dudleya, Santa Catalina Island 0 desert-thorn, Catalina crossosoma, coastal California gnatcatcher, coastal cactus wren and El Segundo Blue Butterfly.

Task 2: Preparation of a Predato r Control Plan Dudek will prepare a Predator Control Plan that will address predation problems detected during p =' plant and wildlife monitoring efforts. The plan will summarize the results of the monitoring with regard t. lila'- to observed predation problems that appear to be affecting the health or survival of the target plant and wildlife species in the Reserve. In accordance with the guidelines in the request for proposal, the PI , plan will recommend specific actions that can be implemented to reduce predation within the Reserve 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- . headed cowbirds, feral cats, and red fox. Dudek is familiar with the trapping protocol used for these 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. ii Task 3: Preparation of a Habitat Restoration Plan Dudek willre are a Habitat Restoration Plan for the restoration of 25 acres of habitat within the p p ice, Reserve to be implemented five acres per year for five years. To minimize costs of implementing the Restoration Plan, Dudek will evaluate sites that are large enough to include 25 acres of Habitat � _ habitat-restoration.-- Dudek_will evaluate up to-three potential restoration _sites that are at least 25 1111 acres in size. Each site will be evaluated based on a variety of factors critical to the' success of 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 berep ared that includes a phase map of the restoration area, an implementation plan that includes 111 p weed control recommendations and plant palettes, and a monitoring plan to track the progress of r habitat restoration. a \l'?

Portuguese Bend Nature Preserve Professional Teams/or Complex Proirecs 19 • ltserve Habitat Managefl1e ens Proposal i Dudek will utilize their two on-staff licensed California Agricultural Pest Control Advisers to develop g the Exotic Plant Removal Plan. Dudek will utilize integrated pest management principles and adaptive management techniques, takinginto account sensitive plant and animal species that may be present, when preparing the plan. Additionally, Dudek will utilize the many resources available, including onay, publications such as the 1999 CaIEPPC list of Exotic Plant Pests of Greatest Ecological Concern in Species, Interim Measures for Use of Pesticides in Los Angeles ProtectingEndangered ��... California;ifo g esticides,• Invasive Plants of California's Wildlands; and Aquatic and . County; California Wildlife and P Riparian Weeds of the West. Dudek is very aware of the environmental and worker safety issues involved with exotic plant species control. We will incorporate best management practices and the least environmentally damaging porate options into the'plan to ensure that the work is done safely and efficiently. Habitat restoration experience within and near the Reserve has led us to believe that some of the most tenacious invasive exotic species in need of control on the peninsula include fennel (Foeniculum t fig edulis), fountain grass (Pennisetum setaceum), castor bean (Ricinus vulgare), Hotento communis), and thefairlyrecently . discovered exotic weed, Geraldton carnation spurge (Euphorbia prioritize Dudek will control of the most pervasive species, such as those discussed above, in addition to other ubiquitous exotics such as tocalote (Centaurea melitensis), garland coronarium), black mustard (Brassica nigra), Russian thistle (Salsola chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum tragus), when preparing the plan. Plan, control action guidelines, including control When developing the Exotic Plant Removal methodologies and timing, will be determined for each plant pest species considered. Both methods of weed control will be considered for each target weed species. mechanical and chemical will also include guidelines for implementing an associated exotic plant monitoring program The plan within the selected site(s), with guidelines for follow-up control measures, in order to improve the . effectiveness of the program. _c2a,v4iLA O tonal Task 5 Additional Plant Wildlife Surveys s p /1Aria---- tramt p Dudek understands that the scope of work detailed in the RFP requests one-time reconnaissance-level surveys for target plant and wildlife species. Therefore, the approach Dudek will take is to provide the inthe RFP, utilizinga systematic monitoring approach that can be replicated by surveys as requested Y provide staff in future years, in order to comparable field data. However, Dudek also provides Optional Task 5 which includes comprehensive rare plant surveys for Reserve areas, protocol-level surveys for coastal California g surveys s for dune buckwheat and surveys for El Segundo Blue Butterfly. These optional tasks are included because Dudek understands that the survey data will p be used as a baseline for future comparison to track population dynamics of the target plant and wildlife species. More comprehensive survey work will provide a greater level of confidence in the survey results, and therefore, a more reliable baseline for future comparison. The optional tasks are divided into sub-tasks and described below. 205117-300 20 &ASSOCIATES,INC. Portuguese Bend Nature Preserve Pro/ession..l Tram.for Complex Projects • Mana ement Plans ProposalReserve Habitat �► 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 205117-300 ASSOCIATES,INC.

Scope of Work A. Backaround and Objectives The NCCP for Rancho Palos Verdes is close to final approval. As committed in the NCCP,the PVPLC is prepared to perform the biological work required for the development of the Preserve Habitat Management Plan(HMP)as spelled out in the NCCP documents. In order to accomplish that task,the initial baseline studies will be critical to the success of NCCP implementation. The9 oal of the funding will be to create a Habitat Management Plan on which future monitoring will build. Professionals in the fields of ornithology,entomology,botany,and habitat restoration will be City of Rancho Palos Verdes P0550006 Page 2 of 6 consulted to developmonitoring and baseline studies. The ability to team with other scientific professionals would enable the PVPLC to do more focused monitoring and to obtain very high levels of quality field data. This enhanced data will be used as a baseline for future comparison to track population dynamics of the target plant and wildlife species. More comprehensive survey � in the surveyresults,and therefore,a more reliable work will provide a greater level of confidence baseline for future comparison. The grant will also enable the PVPLC to use the most current technologies and mapping techniques. Finally, grant the will be used to provide additional staff to assemble,review and analyze the baseline data. According to the NCCP,PVPLC will be the official manager of the Preserve. Therefore,although awarded to the Cityof Rancho Palos Verdes(CRPV),PVPLC will perform the work the grant will be required by the grant to begin collecting baseline data and to draft and finalize a habitat managementplan lan for the NCCP Preserve. CRPV will manage the grant,and PVPLC will serve as the City's contractor. For some tasks,PVPLC has entered into a subcontract with a consulting company,Dudek&Associates(Dudek)to provide expertise in particular areas. B. Tasks and Deliverables Task 1.Development of Baseline Report for Wildlife Species p Protocol surveys for wildlife species will be performed. Surveys will focus on the proposed p Covered Species identified in the draft NCCP,including coastal California gnatcatcher (Polroptila califomica californica), • coastal cactus wren(Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus),Palos Verdes Blue butterfly(G/aucopsyche lygdamus palosverdesensis)and the El Segundo Blue butterfly(Euphilotes ballades allyni);however,survey notes should also indicate where other sensitive wildlife species were observed,and all animal species identified should be recorded to serve as baseline information. 'n methodologies proposed for wildlife will be designed in a manner that can be The monitoring o9 replicatedyear-to-year and that can provide comparable data that is meaningful from a managementperspective.ective. With the assistance of Dudek,PVPLC proposes developing custom p forms for quick field assessments that are designed to record a fixed set of site . assessment ' relate to habitat restoration potential,target species site conditions,and potential attributes that threats. These documents would become the basis for a systematic monitoring approach that wouldimplementedby be PVPLC staff to provide comparable field data in future monitoring years. ' ' Service-approved survey methodology for the gnatcatcher,consisting of U.S.Fish and Wildlife PP three complete passes,will be performed,funded by the grant. Coastal cactus wren surveys would be conducted concurrently with gnatcatcher surveys. Based on the habitat acreages contained in the NCCP Subarea Plan,it appears that approximately800 acres of gnatcatcher/cactus wren habitat is present. The surveys will be conducted according guidelines to the adopted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service(USFWS) project sites enrolled in the NCCP Program with regard to acreage covered per biologist.per for will be notified of the intent to survey 10 days prior day and weather restrictions. The USFWS t to the survey. Tape playback 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 > 5° and excessive cold(<550),wind,rain,fog,or other inclement weather. Detected heat( 9 ) gnatcatchers and wrens will be accurately mapped 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 colonially in family groups;therefore family groups City of Rancho Palos Verdes P0550006 Page 3 of 6 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 iJotential habitats for these two bird species. Detailed notes regarding the areas traversed during the surveys will be kept in order to provide consistency among follow-up surveys. Survey locations and the general location of survey routes 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 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. The NCCP also identifies the El Segundo Blue Butterfly as a covered species. PVPLC understands that the presence of dune buckwheat within the Preserve 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 Preserve would be important information for managing critical habitat for the butterfly. In accordance with recommendations provided by Dr.Gordon Pratt(lepidopterist),a focused survey for dune buckwheat would be conducted by Dudek 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 induding biological resources within the Preserve. Dudek,with the assistance of Dr.Pratt,would provide focused 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 Preserve,focused surveys for El Segundo Blue Butterfly would only be conducted if the host plant is detected during focused surveys,or if PVPLC specifically requests it. Because the presence,and potentially the extent,of the host plant within the areas that can be surveyed within the Preserve is unknown at this time,the details regarding the methodology of focused surveys for El Segundo Blue Butterfly have not been described. However,Dr.Pratt is permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for surveys for El Segundo Blue Butterfly,and would follow established focused survey protocol for this species if the focused surveys are requested. Areas that potentially support Palos Verdes Blue Butterfly will be surveyed for Astragalus trichopodus lonchus,the larval host plant. These areas will be noted in the baseline reports. Task 1 Budget: Reimbursement for survey work can occur at 25%,50%,and 75%completion intervals prior to finishing surveys. However, invoices submitted at the completion of both Task 1 and Task 2 shall not exceed$60,000 combined. Expenses incurred over$60,000 and therefore not invoiced with Task I or Task 2 may be invoiced at the completion of Task 4. Task 2 Development of a Baseline Report for Plant Species Dudek will provide assistance with reconnaissance focused surveys for target plant species at known species locations within the Preserve, induding aphanisma(Aphanisma blitoides),south coast saltbush(Atriplex pacifica),bright green dudleya(Dudleya virens), Santa Catalina Island desert-thom(Lycium brevipes var.Nasse,),Catalina crossosoma(Crossosoma califomicum) and wooly seablite(Suaeda taxifolia). The botanical survey work will be divided between PVPLC personnel and/or Angelika Brinkmann-Busi and Dudek biologists. In addition,Dudek will provide additional assistance with a comprehensive rare plant survey for Preserve areas. City of Rancho Palos Verdes P0550006 Page 4 of 6 It is anticipated that Dudek will provide approximately one-half of the work estimated to complete the botanical surveys, including the actual survey work,development of survey protocols, preparation of data collection forms,data summary and analysis,and incorporation of the data into GIS. In the future,surveys will be performed by PVPLC personnel or by consultants funded by PVPLC. Plant species monitoring will focus on characterizing the status of the known populations of the target species by estimating population size,density and structure,and identifying existing or potential threats to the long-term persistence of each of the populations. These initial surveys will provide a detailed baseline data set for future management-efforts. Replicable survey protocols will be established for each of the five target species such that follow-up surveys can be performed consistently in order to effectively track population dynamics over time. Field data sheets will be prepared that include all appropriate survey parameters such as plant species,population estimates/counts,plant density,slope,aspect,dominant vegetation types, and habitat disturbances. The field data sheets will be used to ensure that all team members are recording consistent data in a repeatable manner. Additionally,all botanists on the team will be trained before and during the surveys to ensure consistency between the teams in population estimation methods and results. The proposed survey methodology will vary slightly for the target plant species due to their very different physical structure and life cycles. Both aphanisma and south coast saltbush are low growing annuals;therefore,timing of the surveys is critical in order to capture the species at an observable time in their life cycle. The surveys will be timed during the summer months, if possible,because the stems of both species turn red as the plants begin to dry out and die, making the plants easier to locate. Plant populations will be mapped using a global positioning system(GPS),if the locations of plant populations are accessible on foot. If an individual population is not accessible(e.g.located on a bluff face),the plant population will be mapped by drawing lines on a field surveyor's map. If individual population sizes are small(i.e., less than 1,000 individuals),direct counts of individuals within the populations will be made. If individual population sizes appear to be large,and counting each individual appears to be infeasible,population estimates will be made by utilizing a modified magnitude scale. For example,a sampling unit(e.g.square meter)will be used to estimate a subset of the total population. Depending on the size of the population,one to several samples will be taken. The number of samples taken within a total population will depend on various factors such as the size of the polygon,plant densities,and variations in plant densities within the population. The results of the sample measures will be extrapolated to get an accurate estimate of population size. The other three plant species,bright green dudleya,Santa Catalina Island desert-thom,and Catalina crossosoma,are perennial plant species. Therefore,the timing of surveys is less critical. However, it is intended that the timing of all plant surveys will coincide to ensure efficiency. The survey methodology for Santa Catalina desert-thom and Catalina crossosoma will likely be direct counts of individuals,since the number of known individuals is small in the study area. All individuals or groups of individuals will be mapped using GPS equipment,if they are accessible by foot. If individuals are not accessible by foot,they will be mapped by drawing lines on a field surveyor's map. Bright green dudleya is locally abundant within the study area,and often inaccessible,due to the fact that it typically occurs on bluff faces and steep rocky slopes. Therefore,surveys for this species will be conducted by visiting known populations,making population estimates with the aid of binoculars,and mapping population locations on a field surveyor's map. If populations are accessible by foot,a GPS device will be used to map individual populations. Existing or potential threats to persistence of these five target plant species populations will be analyzed during botanical surveys. Disturbance factors,such as invasion of exotic weeds, recreational uses within or near the area,human access to the site, herbivory or soil disturbance by animals,adjacency to developed areas,or other factors discovered during the City of Rancho Palos Verdes . P0550006 Page 5 of 6 monitoring,will be included on the field data forms and evaluated at each location where the target species are mapped. All data from the field data forms will be summarized and analyzed in preparation for incorporation into the monitoring report. All mapped data will be incorporated into a GIS database so that maps of plant populations can be prepared. Maps will be created that show formerly mapped plant populations and population estimates(if available),along with the results from the reconnaissance surveys. This proposal assumes that all data collected by PVPLC staff will incorporated into the database to be created by PVPLC. - Task 2 Budget: Reimbursement for survey work can occur at 25%, 50%,and 75%completion intervals prior to finishing surveys. However,invoices submitted at the completion of both Task 1 and Task 2 shall not exceed$60,000 combined. Expenses incurred over$60,000 and therefore not invoiced with Task 1 or Task 2 may be invoiced at the completion of Task 4. Task 3. Preparation of a Draft Habitat Management Plan for the NCCP Preserve CRPV will prepare a Draft Habitat Management Plan(HMP)that includes the final Baseline Reports for target plant and animal species known to occur,or having the potential to occur,in the Preserve,including aphanisma,south coast saltbush,bright green dudleya,Santa Catalina Island desert-thom,Catalina crossosoma,coastal California gnatcatcher,coastal cactus wren and El Segundo Blue and Palos Verdes Blue Butterflies. The HMP will provide an analysis of threats to each population and management recommendations to protect existing populations. Monitoring and management protocols and survey forms to be standardized for future preserve monitoring/management activities will also be included. The HMP will also identify reporting requirements and photo locations to document progress of management activities. Based on information gathered in the Baseline Report for Wildlife,a Predator Control Plan will be developed by PVPLC as part of their commitment to the NCCP. Development of the Predator Control Plan will not be funded by this grant. A Targeted Exotic Control Plan(TERP)will be developed by PVPLC,based on the information in the final Baseline Report for Plants. Sites selected for removal of invasives will be identified by PVPLC Staff as part of their commitment to the NCCP.Development of the TERP will not be funded by this grant. A Habitat Restoration Plan(HRP),detailing restoration methods and assessment of restoration potential throughout the Preserve,will be prepared by PVPLC as part of their commitment to the NCCP. Development of the HRP will not be funded by this grant. The HRP will also propose an initial 15 acres of restoration to be performed within the Preserve. This restoration will be implemented five acres per year for the first three years after Preserve establishment. PVPLC will evaluate of potential sites based on a variety of factors critical to the success of restoration efforts,including adjacency to existing habitat or development,access to the site, water availability,density and species of exotic weeds present onsite or in adjacent areas,and level of prior soil disturbance. Other factors that may 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. Once a final site is selected, Dudek will review and comment on the conceptual plan to be prepared by PVPLC. It is expected the plan will include a phase map of the restoration area,an implementation plan that includes weed control recommendations and plant palettes,and a monitoring plan to track the progress of habitat restoration throughout the three-year monitoring period. • f City of Rancho Palos Verdes ' P0550006 Page 6 of 6 Task 3 Budget: The invoice for completion of Task 3 shall not exceed$20,000.

Contractor agrees to provide to the State Department of Fish and Game(DFG) as described herein: The goal of the requested work is to provide baseline biological information and to develop a long- term management plan for the Habitat Preserve that will be established as part of the Rancho Palos Verdes Natural Community Conservation Plan(NCCP)Subarea Plan. Preparation of the plan must account for the intent of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy(PVPLC)to ultimately conduct annual preserve monitoring and implement management actions using its internal staff. With this understanding,the City of Rancho Palos Verdes will adopt the following approach to each of the project tasks that are outlined below. 2. The services shall be performed within the Preserve that will be established with the Rancho Palos Verdes NCCP Subarea Plan in the State of California. 3. The Services shall be provided Monday thru Friday with flexibility in the field to achieve optimal biological results. 4.

Scope of Work A. Backaround and Objectives The NCCP for Rancho Palos Verdes is close to final approval. As committed in the NCCP,the PVPLC is prepared to perform the biological work required for the development of the Preserve Habitat Management Plan (HMP)as spelled out in the NCCP documents. In order to accomplish that task,the initial baseline studies will be critical to the success of NCCP implementation. The goal of the funding will be to create a Habitat Management Plan on which future monitoring will build. Professionals in the fields of ornithology, entomology, botany, and habitat restoration will be 4110 City of Rancho Palos Verdes P0550006 Page 2 of 6 consulted to develop monitoring and baseline studies. The ability to team with other scientific professionals would enable the PVPLC to do more focused monitoring and to obtain very high levels ofualit field data. This enhanced data will be used as a baseline for future comparison to q Y trackPoP ulation dynamics of the target plant and wildlife species. More comprehensive survey work willprovide a greater level of confidence in the survey results, and therefore, a more reliable baseline for future comparison. Theg rant will also enable the PVPLC to use the most current technologies and mapping . techni uesFinally, the grant will be used to provide additional staff to assemble, review and q analyze the baseline data. According to the NCCP, PVPLC will be the official manager of the Preserve. Therefore, although theg rant will be awarded to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes(CRPV), PVPLC will perform the work required bythe grant to begin collecting baseline data and to draft and finalize a habitat q management plan for the NCCP Preserve. CRPV will manage the grant, and PVPLC will serve as 9 the City's contractor. For some tasks, PVPLC has entered into a subcontract with a consulting company, Dudek&Associates (Dudek)to provide expertise in particular areas. B. Tasks and Deliverables Task 1. Development of Baseline Report for Wildlife Species wildlife species will be performed. Surveys will focus on the proposed Protocol surveys for p Covered Species identified in the draft NCCP, including coastal California gnatcatcher (Poioptila califomica californica), coastal cactus wren (Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus), Palos Verdes Blue butterfly(Glaucopsyche lygdamus palosverdesensis)and the El Segundo Blue butterfly battoides allyni); however, survey notes should also indicate where other sensitive wildlife species were observed, and all animal species identified should be recorded to serve as baseline information. The monitoring methodologies proposed for wildlife will be designed in a manner that can be replicated year-to-year and that can provide comparable data that is meaningful from a p management perspective. With the assistance of Dudek, PVPLC proposes developing custom g assessment forms for quick field assessments that are designed to record a fixed set of site attributes that relate to habitat restoration potential, target species site conditions, and potential threats. These documents would become the basis for a systematic monitoring approach that would be implemented by PVPLC staff to provide comparable field data in future monitoring years. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service-approved survey methodology for the gnatcatcher, consisting of three complete passes,will be performed,funded by the grant. Coastal cactus wren surveys would be conducted concurrently with gnatcatcher surveys. Based on the habitat acreages contained in the NCCP Subarea Plan, it appears that approximately 800 acres of gnatcatcher/cactus wren habitat is present. The surveys will be conducted according to the guidelines adopted by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) forJro'ect sites enrolled in the NCCP Program with regard to acreage covered per biologist per P day and weather restrictions. The USFWS will be notified of the intent to survey 10 days prior to the survey. Tape playback 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 >95° and excessive cold (<550),wind, rain,fog, or other inclement weather. Detected gnatcatchers and wrens will be accurately mapped 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 colonially in family groups;therefore family groups City of Rancho Palos Verdes P0550006 Page 3 of 6 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 habitats for these two bird species. Detailed notes regarding the areas traversed during the surveys will be kept in order to provide consistency among follow-up surveys. Survey locations and the general location of survey routes 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 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. The NCCP also identifies the El Segundo Blue Butterfly as a covered species. PVPLC understands that the presence of dune buckwheat within the Preserve 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 Preserve would be important information for managing critical habitat for the butterfly. In accordance with recommendations provided by Dr. Gordon Pratt(lepidopterist), a focused survey for dune buckwheat would be conducted by Dudek 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 Preserve. Dudek,with the assistance of Dr. Pratt, would provide focused 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 Preserve,focused surveys for El Segundo Blue Butterfly would only be conducted if the host plant is detected during focused surveys, or if PVPLC specifically requests it. Because the presence, and potentially the extent, of the host plant within the areas that can be surveyed within the Preserve is unknown at this time,the details regarding the methodology of focused surveys for El Segundo Blue Butterfly have not been described. However, Dr. Pratt is permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for surveys for El Segundo Blue Butterfly, and would follow established focused survey protocol for this species if the focused surveys are requested. Areas that potentially support Palos Verdes Blue Butterfly will be surveyed for Astragalus trichopodus lonchus,the larval host plant. These areas will be noted in the baseline reports. Task 1 Budget: Reimbursement for survey work can occur at 25%, 50%, and 75%completion intervals prior to finishing surveys. However, invoices submitted at the completion of both Task 1 and Task 2 shall not exceed $60,000 combined. Expenses incurred over$60,000 and therefore not invoiced with Task I or Task 2 may be invoiced at the completion of Task 4. Task 2 Development of a Baseline Report for Plant Species Dudek will provide assistance with reconnaissance focused surveys for target plant species at known species locations within the Preserve, including aphanisma(Aphanisma blitoides), south coast saltbush (Atriplex pacifica), bright green dudleya(Dudleya virens), Santa Catalina Island desert-thorn (Lycium brevipes var. hassei), Catalina crossosoma (Crossosoma californicum) and wooly seablite(Suaeda taxifolia). The botanical survey work will be divided between PVPLC personnel and/or Angelika Brinkmann-Busi and Dudek biologists. In addition, Dudek will provide additional assistance with a comprehensive rare plant survey for Preserve areas. City of Rancho Palos Verdes P0550006 Page 4 of 6 It is anticipated that Dudek will provide approximately one-half of the work estimated to complete the botanical surveys, including the actual survey work, development of survey protocols, preparation of data collection forms,data summary and analysis, and incorporation of the data into GIS. In the future, surveys will be performed by PVPLC personnel or by consultants funded by PVPLC. Plant species monitoring will focus on characterizing the status of the known populations of the target species by estimating population size, density and structure, and identifying existing or potential threats to the long-term persistence of each of the populations. These initial surveys will provide a detailed baseline data set for future management-efforts. Replicable survey protocols will be established for each of the five target species such that follow-up surveys can be performed consistently in order to effectively track population dynamics over time. Field data sheets will be prepared that include all appropriate survey parameters such as plant species, population estimates/counts, plant density, slope, aspect, dominant vegetation types, and habitat disturbances. The field data sheets will be used to ensure that all team members are recording consistent data in a repeatable manner. Additionally, all botanists on the team will be trained before and during the surveys to ensure consistency between the teams in population estimation methods and results. The proposed survey methodology will vary slightly for the target plant species due to their very different physical structure and life cycles. Both aphanisma and south coast saltbush are low growing annuals;therefore, timing of the surveys is critical in order to capture the species at an observable time in their life cycle. The surveys will be timed during the summer months, if possible, because the stems of both species turn red as the plants begin to dry out and die, making the plants easier to locate. Plant populations will be mapped using a global positioning system (GPS), if the locations of plant populations are accessible on foot. If an individual population is not accessible (e.g. located on a bluff face),the plant population will be mapped by drawing lines on a field surveyor's map. If individual population sizes are small (i.e., less than 1,000 individuals), direct counts of individuals within the populations will be made. If individual population sizes appear to be large, and counting each individual appears to be infeasible, population estimates will be made by utilizing a modified magnitude scale. For example, a sampling unit(e.g. square meter)will be used to estimate a subset of the total population. Depending on the size of the population, one to several samples will be taken. The number of samples taken within a total population will depend on various factors such as the size of the polygon, plant densities, and variations in plant densities within the population. The results of the sample measures will be extrapolated to get an accurate estimate of population size. The other three plant species, bright green dudleya, Santa Catalina Island desert-thorn, and Catalina crossosoma,are perennial plant species. Therefore, the timing of surveys is less critical. However, it is intended that the timing of all plant surveys will coincide to ensure efficiency. The survey methodology for Santa Catalina desert-thorn and Catalina crossosoma will likely be direct counts of individuals,since the number of known individuals is small in the study area. All individuals or groups of individuals will be mapped using GPS equipment, if they are accessible by foot. If individuals are not accessible by foot, they will be mapped by drawing lines on a field surveyor's map. Bright green dudleya is locally abundant within the study area, and often inaccessible,due to the fact that it typically occurs on bluff faces and steep rocky slopes. Therefore, surveys for this species will be conducted by visiting known populations, making population estimates with the aid of binoculars, and mapping population locations on a field surveyor's map. If populations are accessible by foot, a GPS device will be used to map individual populations. Existing or potential threats to persistence of these five target plant species populations will be analyzed during botanical surveys. Disturbance factors, such as invasion of exotic weeds, recreational uses within or near the area, human access to the site, herbivory or soil disturbance by animals,adjacency to developed areas, or other factors discovered during the City of Rancho Palos Verdes P0550006 Page 5 of 6 monitoring, will be included on the field data forms and evaluated at each location where the target species are mapped. All data from the field data forms will be summarized and analyzed in preparation for incorporation into the monitoring report. All mapped data will be incorporated into a GIS database so that maps of plant populations can be prepared. Maps will be created that show formerly mapped plant populations and population estimates (if available), along with the results from the reconnaissance surveys. This proposal assumes that all data collected by PVPLC staff will incorporated into the database to be created by PVPLC. - - Task 2 Budget: Reimbursement for survey work can occur at 25%, 50%, and 75% completion intervals prior to finishing surveys. However, invoices submitted at the completion of both Task 1 and Task 2 shall not exceed $60,000 combined. Expenses incurred over$60,000 and therefore not invoiced with Task 1 or Task 2 may be invoiced at the completion of Task 4. Task 3. Preparation of a Draft Habitat Management Plan for the NCCP Preserve CRPV will prepare a Draft Habitat Management Plan (HMP)that includes the final Baseline Reports for target plant and animal species known to occur, or having the potential to occur, in the Preserve, including aphanisma,south coast saltbush, bright green dudleya, Santa Catalina Island desert-thorn, Catalina crossosoma, coastal California gnatcatcher, coastal cactus wren and El Segundo Blue and Palos Verdes Blue Butterflies. The HMP will provide an analysis of threats to each population and management recommendations to protect existing populations. Monitoring and management protocols and survey forms to be standardized for future preserve monitoring/management activities will also be included. The HMP will also identify reporting requirements and photo locations to document progress of management activities. Based on information gathered in the Baseline Report for Wildlife,a Predator Control Plan will be developed by PVPLC as part of their commitment to the NCCP. Development of the Predator Control Plan will not be funded by this grant. A Targeted Exotic Control Plan (TERP)will be developed by PVPLC, based on the information in the final Baseline Report for Plants. Sites selected for removal of invasives will be identified by PVPLC Staff as part of their commitment to the NCCP. Development of the TERP will not be funded by this grant. A Habitat Restoration Plan (HRP),detailing restoration methods and assessment of restoration potential throughout the Preserve,will be prepared by PVPLC as part of their commitment to the NCCP. Development of the HRP will not be funded by this grant. The HRP will also propose an initial 15 acres of restoration to be performed within the Preserve. This restoration will be implemented five acres per year for the first three years after Preserve establishment. PVPLC will evaluate of potential sites based on a variety of factors critical to the success of restoration efforts, including adjacency to existing habitat or development, access to the site, water availability, density and species of exotic weeds present onsite or in adjacent areas, and level of prior soil disturbance. Other factors that may 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. Once a final site is selected, Dudek will review and comment on the conceptual plan to be prepared by PVPLC. It is expected the plan will include a phase map of the restoration area, an implementation plan that includes weed control recommendations and plant palettes, and a monitoring plan to track the progress of habitat restoration throughout the three-year monitoring period. • City of Rancho Palos Verdes P0550006 Page 6 of 6 Task 3 Budget: The invoice for completion of Task 3 shall not exceed $20,000. Expenses incurred over $20,000 and therefore not invoiced with Task 3 may be invoiced at the completion of Task 4. Task 4. Revision and Finalization of the Habitat Management Plan for the NCCP Preserve PVPLC will finalize the Habitat Management Plan after incorporating comments provided by the Wildlife Agencies. Task 4 Budget: Once all Tasks have been completed and the final Plan received by DFG, PVPLC may submit invoices bringing the total amount invoiced for all Tasks to$100,000. C.
