Vegetation and Wildlife. Under the Proposed Action, the only potential environmental effect relates to increases in selenium and boron during the critical months (July through September) when the project site is more reliant on groundwater than under current operating conditions. However, levels of selenium in the groundwater and in the overall mix of irrigation water that would be used at the site will be below the EPA threshold under which adverse effects to biota would occur. Similarly for boron, there are no adverse effects expected from boron concentrations reaching 13 mg/L during the fall months, and the project is not anticipated to contribute to any cumulative impacts to vegetation and wildlife.

Vegetation and Wildlife. ‌ No fragments of the original natural vegetation communities are present within the boundaries of the VAMC. The VAMC is a developed, urban setting that supports only small typical ornamental landscaping and a maintained lawn. Overall, vegetation on the site has been heavily disturbed due to prior development and maintenance activities. Migratory birds occurring on the VAMC and in its vicinity are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 USC 703-712, 3 July 1918; as amended 1936, 1960, 1968, 1969, 1974, 1978, 1986, and 1989). This Act prohibits the taking of migratory birds, their nests, and eggs. Migratory birds are not likely to be found nesting on the VAMC, as well as flying over the property.
