will
reduce
the
potential
for
conflicts

noise
effects
upon
resident
wildlife
in
the
open

area,
beyond
the
buffer
or
appropriate
fencing
intended
to
separate
open
space
from
roads
or
high
use
areas
that
would
generate
noise
or
even
lighting.
The
San

Elfin,
Bay
Checkerspot,
Mission
Blue,
Callippe
Silverspot,
and
Myrtle
Silverspot
are
all
included
in
Appendix
E.
The
species
with
the
potential
to
occur
at
the
Baylands
are
discussed
in
the
Draft
EIR
text
and
addressed
in
Impact

Mitigation
Measures
4.C-1
a,
b,
and
c,
addresses
potential
impacts
to
sensitive
butterfly
species
with
moderate
to
high
potential
to
occur
within
the
Baylands
Project
Site
because
source
populations
are
known
from
nearby
(i.e.,
Mission
blue
butterfly
and
Callipe
silverspot
butterfly),
or
suitable
habitat
is
present.
Also,
the
Draft
EIR
states
on
page
4.C-4,
“Johnny
jump-up
(
Viola
pedunculata
),
the
host
plant
for
the
federally
listed
endangered
callippe
silverspot
butterfly
(
Speyeria
callippe
callippe
),
was
observed
in
a
patchy
but
relatively
abundant
distribution”
within
the
Baylands
Project
Site.
In
addition,
Table
4.C-1
observes,
“One
unidentified
lupine
species,
(i.e.
Lupinus
sp.
not
keyed
to
the
species
level)
was
observed
on
Icehouse
Hill
during
ESA’s
2011
reconnaissance
site
visit”
for
mission
blue
butterfly.

see
analysis
of

a,
b,
and
c.
Please
also
note
that
Mitigation
Measure
4.C-1b
has
been
revised
as
described
in
Response
to
reflect
current
understanding
of
restoration
actions
and
their
effectiveness.
This
change
essentially
recognizes
that
some
native
plant
species
are
difficult
to
propagate
and
require
specific
management
techniques.
Native

The
anise
swallowtail
(
Papilio
zelicaon
)
is
included
on
the
checklist
of
Butterflies
and
Moths
of
San
Francisco
County
(Opler
et
al.
2012).
Counts
of
anise
swallowtail
recorded
during
the
2011
San
Francisco
Annual
butterfly
counts
(count
radius
included
Brisbane)
were
an
all-time
national
record
high
(NABA
2014),
and
Anise
Swallowtail
and
has
been
one
of
the
most
commonly
observed
species
on
Annual
Butterfly
Count
for
San
Bruno
Mountain
from
2009-2012
(San
Bruno
Mountain
Watch
2014).
This
species
is
not
listed
as
threatened
or
endangered,
and
is
not
considered
locally
rare.
Populations
of
the
anise
swallowtail
(
Papilio
zelicaon
)
at
sea
level
have
several
generations
(late
February
or
March-October)
and
breed
primarily
on
non-native
plants
including,
sweet
fennel
(
Foeniculum
vulgare
),
poison
hemlock
(
Conium
aculatum
),
and
Queen
Anne’s
lace
(
Daucus
carota
)
(ICE
2014)
.

ecotype

originally
inhabited
