SUNOL BOULEVARD/I-680 IMPROVEMENTS PA&ED 0Q3000 by reference and summarizes any changes based on the records search update and the potential for this project to encounter hazardous materials. Subtask 4.6 Land Use and Community Impacts. The Build Alternatives would require a small amount of right-of-way, and neither alternative would affect community character and cohesion,result in relocations, or have environmental justice implications.Neither alternative would require any full property acquisitions, relocate any residences or businesses,result in the conversion of any parcels to a new land use, or otherwise interfere with the continued use of parcels for their existing purpose. This will be discussed briefly in the environmental document; no additional documentation is necessary. Both alternatives would construct improvements to an existing interchange and are expected to be consistent with state, regional,and local plans. This will be discussed briefly in the environmental document; no additional documentation is necessary. As no publicly owned parks are in the project vicinity,neither alternative would affect a Section 4(f)recreational facility. Subtask 4.7 Natural Environment Study, Biological Assessment,&Wetland Delineation. The project vicinity is urbanized but includes land cover types that may provide habitat for special-status species. Within the State right-of-way,the project area contains California annual grassland, coast live oak woodland,valley oak woodland, and coyote brush scrub. Designated critical habitat for Alameda whipsnake(Masticophis lateralis euryxanthus; federally threatened, California threatened) is approximately 1 mile west of the project area, and the California Natural Diversity Data Base indicates that species within 5 miles of the project area include: • California tiger salamander(Ambystoma californiense), federally threatened, state threatened • California red-legged frog(Rana draytonii), federally threatened, state species of special concern • American peregrine falcon(Falco peregrinus anatum), Fully Protected Species • Prairie falcon(Falco mexicanus), included on the California Department of Fish and Wildlife(CDFW) Special Animals List • Pallid bat(Antrozous pallidus), a State Species of Special Concern(SSC)and Western Bat Working Group (WBWG)high-priority species • Townsend's big-eared bat(Corynorhinus townsendii), an SSC and WBWG high- priority species • San Francisco dusky-footed woodrat(Neotoma fuscipes annectens), an SSC The project area has been surveyed and analyzed for biological resources by recent projects, including the I-680 Express Lanes from State Route 84 to Alcosta Boulevard Project(EA 04-0Q3000). A follow-up field survey will be conducted to confirm the project area's vegetation communities, habitat for special-status plants and wildlife, and April 10,2020 14
