A1.0 Introduction
HydroGeoLogic, Inc. (HGL) is executing a groundwater remediation project at Operable
Unit (OU)-1 at the former Fort Ord U.S. Army Base located in Monterey County,
California. This work was awarded in December 2003 by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE)-Sacramento District under Contract Number DACA45-03-D-0029;
it is being administered by the USACE-Sacramento District.
Fort Ord was established in 1917 as a military training base for infantry troops. In
January 1991, the Secretary of Defense announced the downsizing/closure of the base. In
August 1994, portions of the property were transferred to the University of California and
the FONR was established in June 1996. The former Fort Ord is located near Monterey
Bay approximately 80 miles south of San Francisco (Figure A1.1). The base consists of
approximately 28,000 acres near the cities of Seaside, Sand City, Monterey, Del Rey
Oaks, and Marina. Monterey Bay marks the western boundary, Toro Regional Park
borders the base to the southeast and land use east is primarily agricultural.
Activities conducted at the former Fort Ord Fritzsche Army Airfield Fire Drill Area
(FDA) (i.e., OU-1) between 1962 and 1985 resulted in the release of contaminants to
soils and groundwater. Although 10 separate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were
identified as contaminants of concern in groundwater underlying OU-1, trichloroethene
(TCE) is the contaminant that was detected at the highest concentrations and across the
greatest extent of the affected aquifer. A groundwater extraction and treatment system
(GWETS) was constructed in 1988 to remediate TCE and other groundwater
contaminants.
The components of the remediation project include wells, pipelines, infiltration trenches,
and treatment facilities (Figure A1.2). A key factor affecting the design and
implementation of the groundwater cleanup is the fact the groundwater plume lies
beneath a part of the University of California Natural Reserve System (UCNRS)
designated as the Fort Ord Natural Reserve (FONR). The FONR area potentially
impacted by the construction of OU-1 remediation facilities is approximately 130 acres.
Therefore, the project has the additional constraint that activities undertaken to achieve
the OU-1 cleanup adequately protect and maintain the special-status species found within
the FONR, specifically two federally listed plant species, Monterey spineflower
(Chorizanthe pungens var. pungens) and sand gilia (Gilia tenuiflora ssp. arenaria).
OU-1 occupies a portion of the FONR in the southwestern corner of the former Fritzsche
Army Airfield, west of Imjin Road and north of Reservation Road. The remediation
project illustrated in Figure A1.2 is designed to avoid, mitigate, or minimize
environmental impacts in the OU-1 area. To that end, the locations, extent, and
populations of sand gilia and Monterey spineflower that are present in the footprint of
proposed construction activities were identified through a rare plant survey conducted at
specified sites.

A1.1 Survey Objectives
The objectives of the 2008 rare plant survey were to: 1) identify locations and estimate
rare plant populations at each designated site for Monterey spineflower and sand gilia;
and 2) to map Monterey spineflower and sand gilia populations so that future activities
could avoid or reduce impacts to those populations. A total of 5 sites, including 15 well
locations were surveyed for the presence of rare plants (Figure A1.3).
A1.2 Site Location and Description
The dominant habitats in this area include coast live oak woodland, maritime chaparral,
coastal scrub, and annual grassland. Several special-status plant and wildlife species
occur within the FONR, including sand gilia and Monterey spineflower. The northern
and eastern boundary of OU-1 is adjacent to a large expanse of non-native grassland.
Transmission of non-native grass species into OU-1 is accelerated by the prevailing
winds, which blow seeds south and into the OU-1 area (Fusari 2004). Non-native grasses
and weedy forbs are already present throughout much of the OU-1 area. The spread of
non-native, invasive species into newly disturbed areas might result in population
declines of Monterey spineflower and, especially, sand gilia, which is less tolerant of
plant cover than Monterey spineflower.
A1.1.1 Sand Gilia
Sand gilia is a small annual in the phlox family (Polemonaceae). Plants range in height
from two to six inches with a small, basal rosette of leaves. The lower branches of the
stem are generally densely glandular. Plants typically bloom from April through June
and have funnel-shaped flowers with narrow, purple to pinkish petal lobes and a purple
throat. This species occurs in open sandy soils in dune scrub, coastal sage scrub, and
maritime chaparral habitats. Sand gilia is endemic to Monterey Bay and the peninsular
dune complexes. A search of the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB)
revealed that there are 28 occurrences within Monterey County, including the
occurrences at Fort Ord (CDFG 2008). It is likely that some of these occurrences are no
longer present and the exact number of extant (still in existence) occurrences are
unknown.
A1.1.2 Monterey Spineflower
Monterey spineflower is a small, prostrate annual in the buckwheat family
(Polygonaceae) that blooms from April to June. The white to rose floral tube of
Monterey spineflower distinguishes it from the more common, but closely related diffuse
spineflower (Chorizanthe diffusa), which has a lemon-yellow floral tube. This species
typically occurs on open sandy or gravelly soils in coastal dune, coastal scrub, and
maritime chaparral habitats. There are 24 records of Monterey spineflower within
Monterey County in the CNDDB (CDFG 2008); however, it is not known how many of
these are extant.

A2.0 Methods
The survey area consisted of selected well sites and discrete segments of the existing
roads within OU-1. The well sites surveyed are located either adjacent to the roadway or
at the terminus of access paths constructed to reach the well site. A total of 5 sites and 15
wells were identified for surveys. Figure A1.3 shows the survey sites. The areas were
surveyed for rare plants Monterey spineflower and sand gilia completely on one survey
effort conducted on May 5, 2008.
A2.1 Rare Plant Surveys
The survey for sand gilia and Monterey spineflower was conducted by a DD&A biologist
and a DD&A GPS technician on May 5, 2008. The peak blooming period, late April -
early May 2008, was determined by observing a known occurrence of sand gilia in the
vicinity of FONR. The rare plant survey area included the sites and staging areas shown
in Figure A1.3.
The survey was conducted along existing roadways/access routes. In the absence of rare
plants, the width of the survey area was approximately 10 feet beyond the edge of the
roadway on either side. If a rare plant was identified, the survey in that area was
extended to the boundary of the population encountered.
Mapping of rare plant species was done using a Trimble Pathfinder ProXH GPS unit with
an additional Zephyr antenna system to boost reliability and accuracy of GPS data
collection. Large areas of Monterey spineflower and sand gilia were mapped as
polygons; smaller groups and individuals were mapped as points with attributes to
identify the number of individuals at each location.
Individual counts were made for all sand gilia populations whether they were mapped
using points (population < 10) or polygons (population ≥ 10). However, Monterey
spineflower were only counted as individuals when groups of less than five were mapped.
Monterey spineflower mapped as polygons were characterized according to the percent
of cover. The categories ranged from Very Sparse (corresponding to an absolute cover of
less than 3 percent), Sparse (3-25 percent), Medium Low (26-50 percent), Medium (51-
76 percent), and Medium High (76-97 percent) to Very High (>97-100 percent). GPS
data was exported to shapefile format for use in a Geographic Information System (ESRI
ArcGIS) and mapped on high resolution aerial photography. These maps are represented
in Figures A3.1 and A3.2.

A3.0 Results and Discussion
A3.1 Rare Plant Survey Results
A3.1.1 Sand Gilia
Sand gilia was not observed or mapped in any of the locations within the 5 survey areas
and 15 well sites surveyed for rare plants.
A3.1.2 Monterey Spineflower
A total of 52 populations (19 polygons and 33 points) of Monterey spineflower were
mapped along the 5 rare plant survey areas, and 15 well sites within FONR (Table A3.1
and Figures A3.1 and A3.2). A total of 56 individual plants were identified at the 33
mapped GIS points. Because population size estimates are not as easily quantified as the
sand gilia populations, individual Monterey spineflower plants were not counted within
the GIS polygons. As mentioned in the methods section of this document, populations of
Monterey spineflower were given a percentage of cover using visual estimation. Of the
19 populations of Monterey spineflower that were mapped as polygons, two populations
had a Medium cover class (51-76 percent cover), five populations had a Medium Low
cover class (26-50 percent), 11 populations had a Sparse cover class (3-25 percent), and
one population had a Very Sparse cover class (

Coast Live Oak Woodland
Coast live oak woodland within the FONR is characterized by a mosaic of coast live oak
trees (Quercus agrifolia), intermixed with chaparral, grassy and sandy openings. The oak
woodland within the FONR ranges from high canopy cover to low canopy cover. The
areas with high canopy cover generally do not permit the existence of shrubs in the
understory, and, therefore, the understory is limited to poison oak and the common
annual grasses, such as rip-gut brome, wild oat, and annual fescue. In areas with a low to
moderate canopy cover, the oak woodland is intermixed with chaparral shrub species
such as California sagebrush (Artemisia californica), coyote brush (Baccharis pilularis),
shaggy bark manzanita (Arctostaphylos tomentosa ssp. tomentosa), and sandmat
manzanita. Common herbaceous species in these areas include native species such as
miner’s lettuce (Claytonia perfoliata), and non-native species such as rip-gut brome, and
rattail fescue.
Grassy openings in the woodland habitat contain scattered coast live oak trees and shrubs
with dense growth of annual grasses such as rip-gut brome, annual fescue, red brome, and
wild oat. Open, sandy areas within coast live oak woodland can support special-status
species such as Monterey spineflower and sand gilia. Coast live oak woodland is
widespread throughout the FONR property, and was observed at or surrounding all sites
surveyed.
Central Maritime Chaparral
Central maritime chaparral habitat within the FONR is dominated by hard-leaved shrubs
such as shaggy bark manzanita, sandmat manzanita, and Monterey manzanita. Other
shrubs that are common throughout this habitat types include coyote brush and California
sagebrush. In areas where soils maintain a higher moisture content, poison oak can also
be a dominant species in the maritime chaparral. The central maritime chaparral on
FONR is often mixed with coast live oak trees and several annual grass species including
rip-gut brome, red brome, and rattail fescue.
Coastal Scrub
Coastal scrub occurs near the coast on sandy soils and on inland hills with shallow top
soils. Within the FONR, this habitat type is characterized by sparse to dense cover of
soft-leaved, low stature shrubs about three to seven feet in height, such as coyote brush,
California sagebrush, sticky monkey flower (Mimulus aurantiacus), poison oak, mock
heather (Ericameria ericoides), and black sage (Salvia mellifera). The herbaceous layer
in the coastal scrub is sparse where shrub cover is dense but is more developed in areas
where there is less shrub cover. Species typically occurring in this layer include
Monterey spineflower, sand mat, and everlasting (Gnaphalium sp.).
Annual Grasslands
The annual grassland habitat is characterized by a dense cover of rip-gut brome with
other non-native annual grasses such as wild oat, soft chess, Italian ryegrass (Lolium
multiflorum), and rattail fescue. Other species that are common in the annual grassland
habitat include sky lupine (Lupinus nanus), a native species, and weedy forbs (non-native
plants that are not woody and are not grasses), such as filaree (Erodium sp.) and cat’s ears
5

(Hypochaeris sp.). Cat’s ears is a non-native, invasive species of particular concern to
the UC staff managing the FONR. Shrubs species, such as coyote brush, California
sagebrush, and coffee berry (Rhamnus californica), occur scattered throughout the annual
grassland.
Disturbed/Developed
The disturbed habitat is characterized by the roadways and staging areas currently and
historically in use on the FONR property. Most disturbed areas are dominated by bare
ground and non-native grasses, such as wild oat, rip-gut brome, and red brome. All of the
sites surveyed contained disturbed/developed habitat in the forms of trails and/or roads.
A4.0 Conclusions
Monterey spineflower populations were observed in more locations than sand gilia
populations (52 locations versus zero locations of sand gilia). DD&A conducted rare
plant surveys from 2006-2008 within the FONR OU-1 property, and the 2008 rare plant
survey was the first year sand gilia was not observed within any of the areas surveyed.
There are several possible reasons for the apparent decline in sand gilia populations.
Sand gilia had previously been observed in only two of these surveys areas in the
previous two years. Also sand gilia populations at DD&A reference sites were relatively
low indicating that the conditions during sand gilia growing season were not optimal.
Relatively abundant Monterey spineflower populations do not seem as equally affected
by the same constraints as sand gilia. Previous rare plant surveys conducted by DD&A
also indicate that populations of Monterey spineflower were often observed in areas with
sparse to moderately abundant non-native annual grass cover, suggesting that this species
may be somewhat more tolerant of annual grass cover than sand gilia.
A5.0 Comparisons 2007-2008
Sand gilia populations decreased significantly from last year (12 locations in 2007
compared to zero locations in 2008); however, the amount of surveyed locations also
decreased from the rare plant survey last year (15 sites in 2007 compared to 5 sites in
2008). Of the five sites that were surveyed during the 2008 rare plant survey, sand gilia
previously had been observed at Sites 6 and 9 during the 2006 survey.
Monterey spineflower populations have increased compared to the 2007 rare plant
survey. Both years generally had the same number of populations (54 populations in
2007 and 52 in 2008) and densities (the majority of the populations ranged from sparse to
very sparse densities in 2007 and 2008). However, the survey area was greatly
diminished from 2007 to 2008. In 2008, Monterey spineflower polygons were observed
increasing in size. Sites 4, 6, 11, and 8 have all increased in area from 2007 to 2008. In
Site 9, the only site that did not show an increase in area, the polygons observed
increased in density (one Medium-Low polygon in 2007 compared to one Sparse, two
Medium, and three Medium-Low polygons in 2008).
