Fish Passage: Identify if there are known fish passageway barriers along the route or if there is potential to impede fish passageways during future development. Although it is highly recommended to contact the fish passage coordinator, one possible way to assess the potential of impediment is to use the Hydrography (500K) layer found in the CalFish Fish Passage Database and identify areas in which the State Route crosses the water feature. If a smaller scale analysis is wanted, it is suggested to use either the Hydrography (100K) layer in CalFish or the Hydrography 31. Features - General layer in the Sources: (California Fish Passage Assessment Database layer and Hydrography (500K) layer or (100K) layer), Contact Fish Passage Coordinator Habitat Connectivity: Identify wildlife crossings and know if the segment runs through an Essential Connectivity Area and consider the potential impacts on habitat connectivity. 57 Sources: California Department of Fish and Game, (Essential Connectivity Area data , , Regional or local assessments (where available), Narrative and Concept Integration: Include a concise narrative that summarizes environmental conditions found along the corridor route. If a readily available source, like an RTP, has identified potential conservation areas or indicated a lack of potential areas, it should be mentioned in the narrative. Include a summary of methods used to identify known environmental resources in the area. Use the information gathered to consider possible corridor development constraints. Use the possible constraints while formulating the concept rationale. If applicable, identify potential solutions for corridor development constraints in the Corridor Concept section of the template. The level of complexity can remain simple and broad. The consideration of possible solutions can help obtain streamlining benefits during project delivery and can help link planning with CEQA/NEPA requirements and analysis.
