Technical report of biota, FEL Site 2, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory: Final report
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is considering expansion of laser test facilities adjacent to its existing LLNL Site 300 test location. Construction of a free-electron laser, known as the FEL Project, is being considered on approximately 9600 hectares (24,000 acres) of land immediately southeast of Site 300. This report quantitatively describes the variation of vegetation on FEL Site 2, and relates the vegetation to potential environmental impacts associated with present operation and possible expansion of site facilities. The presence and status of any endangered, threatened, fully protected, or otherwise sensitive species of wildlife on FEL Site 2 that might be affected by site operations and developments was also determined. We directed our studies mainly toward the federally endangered San Joaquin kit for (Vulpes macrotis mutica), but also toward another 14 special status species that potentially occur on site, including the state threatened Alameda striped racer (Masticophis lateralis euryxanthus).
