Biological Assessment
A Biological Assessment (BA) is a baseline study conducted to list sensitive habitats and species that exist, or with the potential to occur, at a site. DFG protocol floral surveys are required (2 years in the SR Plain) to observe the presence or absence of sensitive species. Biological Assessments are required in the CEQA process to look at the potential impacts from proposed development at a site, recommend avoidance measures or mitigation to offset potential impacts, and recommend further protocol level species surveys if necessary. Biological Assessment Reports are used in government agency review and permitting process.
