As part of continuing biological resources support for Resolution’s GPO, WestLand conducted surveys for special-status plant species associated with water features that occur in the vicinity of the GPO (Study Area). The objective was to survey for special-status species with potential to occur in the Study Area, and to continue compiling baseline data on wetland and riparian plant species at a combination of lentic (ponds and stock tanks) and lotic (perennial and intermittent drainages, seeps, and springs) habitats (hereafter, “sites” and “reaches”, respectively).
