Integrated <strong>Natural</strong> <strong>Resources</strong> Management Plan [March 2012 - Update]<br />
lands (USFWS 1998e); however, on 8 December 2004 critical habitat for this species was<br />
proposed (USFWS 2004c). On <strong>Camp</strong> <strong>Pendleton</strong>, 917 ac of ‘‘mission-essential’’ training<br />
lands were proposed to be excluded from designation of critical habitat under Section<br />
4(b)(2) of the ESA. On 13 December 2005, the USFWS issued its final critical habitat for<br />
thread-leaved brodiaea. A total of 597 ac in Los Angles and San Diego Counties was listed.<br />
All locations on <strong>Camp</strong> <strong>Pendleton</strong> were excluded under Sections 4(a)(3) and 4(b)(2) of the<br />
ESA (USFWS 2005d). On 11 February 2011, a final revised critical habitat designation<br />
was reissued by the USFWS, and all known locations considered on <strong>Camp</strong> <strong>Pendleton</strong> for<br />
critical habitat designation were excluded under Sections 4(a)(3) of the ESA (USFWS<br />
2011a). No recovery plan has been developed by the USFWS to date.<br />
California Status<br />
The CDFG listed thread-leaved brodiaea as an endangered plant species in January 1982<br />
(CDFG 2005).<br />
Regional Status<br />
Thread-leaved brodiaea is a covered species in the following southern California NCCP<br />
documents:<br />
• Fieldstone/La Costa & City of Carlsbad.<br />
• MHCP, City of Carlsbad Habitat Management Plan.<br />
• MSCP, City of Chula Vista Subarea Plan.<br />
• MSCP, City of La Mesa Subarea Plan.<br />
• MSCP, City of Poway Subarea Plan.<br />
• MSCP, City of San Diego Subarea Plan.<br />
• MSCP, County of San Diego Subarea Plan.<br />
• Mission View Estates.<br />
• Orange County Southern Subregion NCCP/HCP.<br />
• SDG&E.<br />
• Western Riverside MSHCP.<br />
The CNPS identifies thread-leaved brodiaea as rare, threatened, or endangered in<br />
California and elsewhere (List 1B), and seriously endangered in California (Threat Code1)<br />
(CNPS 2008).<br />
MCBCP Status<br />
<strong>Camp</strong> <strong>Pendleton</strong> is in consultation with USFWS regarding monitoring and management of<br />
upland habitats and species basewide including thread-leaved brodiaea. The <strong>Base</strong> has<br />
instituted measures for avoidance and minimization of impacts to rare plant locations<br />
basewide, including thread-leaved brodiaea habitat. These measures are published as<br />
programmatic instructions for users and residents of the <strong>Base</strong> via <strong>Camp</strong> <strong>Pendleton</strong>’s <strong>Base</strong><br />
Order P3500.1M (Range and Training Regulations). Management details, survey<br />
information, etc., for thread-leaved brodiaea are located in Appendix F, Section F.21.<br />
