1.0 Introduction
Hernandez Environmental Services (HES) was contracted to prepare a general biological
assessment (GBA) for the Chase Road Detached Homes. The project site consists of
approximately 6.84 acres consisting of Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs) 0228-151-17, 0228-
151-18, and 0228-151-19 located the City of Fontana, San Bernardino County, California.
1.1 Project Site Location
The project site is located at the northwest corner of the Chase Road and Sgt Bryan Brewster
Drive in the city of Fontana, San Bernardino County, California. The project site consists of San
Bernardino County APNs 0228-151-17, 0228-151-18, and 0228-151-19. Specifically, the project
site is located within Township 1 north, Range 6 west, section 36 in the Devore United States
Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5’ topographic quadrangle. The center point latitude and longitude
for the project site are 34° 07' 33.4593" North, 117° 27' 25.8019" West (Figures 1 and 2).
1.2 Project Description
The proposed project consists of the construction of approximately 48 detached residential units.
In addition, the project includes the construction of associated private access roads including
Cascade Road on site, parking, a recreation area, and related infrastructure and utilities. Refer to
Figure 3.
2.0 Methodology
2.1 Literature Review
HES conducted a literature review and reviewed aerial photographs and topographic maps of the
project site and surrounding areas. The Devore USGS 7.5’ topographic quadrangle and
surrounding USGS quads were used to identify sensitive species with the California Natural
Diversity Data Base (CNDDB), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Endangered
Species Lists, and the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) rare plant lists to obtain species
information for the project area. The CNDDB and USFWS critical habitat databases were
utilized, together with Geographic Information System (GIS) software, to locate the previously
recorded locations of sensitive plant and wildlife occurrences and designated critical habitat and
determine the distance from the project site
2.2 Field Survey
On November 14, 2022, HES conducted a field survey of the project site. The ambient
temperature at 10:50 a.m. was 63 degrees Fahrenheit, sunny, with winds ranging from one to
three miles per hour from the east. The purpose of the field survey was to document the existing
habitat conditions, obtain plant and animal species information, view the surrounding land uses,
Page | 4 APNs 0228-151-17, -18, & -19 General Biological Assessment
Hernandez Environmental Services 17037 Lakeshore Drive Lake Elsinore, CA 92530
assess the potential for state and federal waters, assess the potential for wildlife movement
corridors, and assess the presence of constituent elements for critical habitat, if present.
Linear transects spaced approximately 50 to 100 feet apart were walked across the project site
for 100 percent coverage. All species observed were recorded. Global Positioning System (GPS)
waypoints were taken to delineate specific habitat types, species locations, state or federal
waters, and any other information that would be useful for the assessment of the project site. A
comprehensive list of all plant and wildlife species that were detected during the field survey
within the project site is included in Appendix A. Sensitive plant and wildlife species with the
potential to occur within the project area are listed in Appendix B. Representative site
photographs were taken and are included within Appendix C.
3.0 Existing Conditions and Results
3.1 Environmental Setting
The project site consists of disturbed, vacant land which appears to be regularly disturbed by
weed abatement activities. The site is relatively flat with onsite elevations ranging from 1,410
feet above mean sea-level (AMSL) to 1,447 feet AMSL. The site is bordered by residential
development in all directions.
3.2 Soils
According to the USDA Web Soil Survey, soils at the project site are classified as Tujunga
gravelly loamy sand (TvC), 0 to 9 percent slopes (Appendix D).
3.3 Plant and Habitat Communities
The project site is dominated by ruderal habitat. The onsite ruderal habitat is heavily disturbed
and dominated by non-native plant species with very few native species. Common plant species
observed within this habitat type include Puncture vine (Tribulus terrestris), white goosefoot
(Chenopodium album), filaree (Erodium sp.), telegraph weed (Heterotheca grandiflora),
doveweed (Croton setiger), Russian thistle (Salsola tragus), and common sunflower (Helianthus
annuus). Refer to Figure 4.
3.4 Wildlife
General wildlife species documented on the project site or within the vicinity of the site include
Black Phoebe (Sayornis nigricans). The complete list of species observed is included in
Appendix A.
3.5 Regional Connectivity/Wildlife Movement

Significant and Specimen Trees (Ordinance 1126), establishes regulations for the preservation of
any tree defined by the ordinance as heritage, significant, or specimen, and endangered species
as specified by federal or state stature. Removal or relocation of any heritage, significant, or
specimen tree requires prior authorization from the Community Development Department of the
City through a permit process and planting of a replacement tree designated by the designated
staff. City of Fontana municipal code also requires that any other living tree that is not classified
as heritage, significant, or specimen tree must be replaced or in lieu of the replacement trees, a
cash equivalent as determined by the staff may be deposited with the city in the tree account. The
project site does not contain any trees. Therefore, the proposed project is not expected to result in
the removal of or impacts to any trees, including those classified as heritage, significant, or
specimen.
4.7 Conflict with the Provisions of an Adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or Other Approved Local, Regional, or State Habitat Conservation Plan

Conservation Plans. The Fontana Forward General Plan Update 2015-2035 is a Policy Plan that
serves as the City of Fontana’s General Plan. The project site is located within the boundaries of
the Fontana Forward General Plan Update. Chapter 7 of the Fontana Forward General Plan
includes goals and actions that focus on reducing impacts to biological resources by preserving
native habitat that remains within the Planning Area and creating and maintaining other areas of
open space, such as large public parks, that may be used by wildlife. According to the Fontana
Forward General Plan, the project site is mapped as designated Single Family Residential, and is
not within an area designated as open space or considered to have any significant biological
habitat. Therefore, the proposed project is not expected to conflict with the provisions of an
adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved
local, regional, or state Habitat Conservation Plan.

4.8 State and Federal Drainages
The project site does not contain any state or federal drainages, therefore no impacts to any
jurisdictional drainages are expected.
5.0 Recommendations
Based upon the findings of this report, it is recommended that the following studies or surveys be
performed as part of the project.
Nesting Birds
• It is recommended that construction activities begin outside of the nesting season for
migratory birds to avoid indirect impacts.
• If construction activities will begin during the migratory bird nesting season, between
February 1 and September 15, pre-construction nesting bird surveys shall be performed
within three days prior to the start of construction.
• If active nests are found during nesting bird surveys, they shall be flagged. A 250-foot
buffer shall be fenced around song bird nests and a 500-foot buffer shall be fenced
around raptor nests.
