Re: Gas Maintenance Project — Oracle Road: Hardy Road and Oracle
Intersection Native Preservation plan Review
Southwest Gas Corp. (SWG) is withdrawing the application for a Native Plant
Preservation Plan review. The original design has been changed. We will now bore
across the shoulder and will not impact the vegetation on the southwest corner of
Hardy and Oracle intersection. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

NATIVE PLANT PRESERVATION PLAN
Introduction and Methods
Tierra Right of Way Services, Ltd. (Tierra) was contracted by Mr. Richard Zepeda of Southwest Gas (SWG)
to complete a Site Resource Inventory and Native Plant Preservation Plan in compliance with the Town of
Oro Valley's Zoning Code 27.6 for the installation of a buried 8 -inch diameter steel natural gas line. The
proposed installation is to occur within the southern right of way (ROW) of Hardy Road west from Oracle
Road in the Town of Oro Valley in Pima County, Arizona. The eastern end of the project corridor is located
approximately 695 feet west of Oracle Road. From this point the proposed installation will be trenched west
approximately 16 feet and south the same distance to a proposed bore pit. At the bore pit, the new line
installation will continue west through a directional bore for approximately 435 feet to a second bore pit. At
the second bore pit, the line will be trenched for approximately 208 feet to the western end of the project
area at the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) ROW of Oracle Road.
The SWG project area is, in total, approximately 1.01 acres in size and extends from the pavement edge of
Hardy Road south to the RO W boundary. Ground disturbance and subsequent vegetation removal would
occur during construction in two areas, the first would be approximately 25 x 35 feet with an area of 0.02
acres located at the western trench and bore pit location and the second at th e eastern trench location in a
35-foot-wide corridor with an area of 0.20 acres. A native plant inventory was performed in both areas of
planned disturbance within the SWG project area on January 17, 2018, and all Oro Valley Protected Native
Plants appearing in Addendum C and Tables C -1 and C -2 of Code 27.6 determined to be significant in
assemblage or individually distinctive were inventoried in accordance with Section 27.6.B.3.b of the Code.
Site Resource Inventory
The project area is in the Arizona Upla nd biotic community as described by David E. Brown in Biotic
Communities. Southwestern United States and Northwestern Mexico (1994). Vegetation in the project area, which is
located at an elevation of approximately 2,600 feet above mean sea level, is typical of this biotic community.
Dominant overstory species include Foothills Palov erde (Parkinsonia mi(rophylla) and Blue Paloverde (P
florida). Common understory species include Brittlebush (Encelia farinosa), Triangle -leaf Bursage (Ambrosia
deltoidea), Burrobrush (Hymenoclea monogyra ), Limberbush ( Jatropha cuneat a), Desert Broom ( Baccharis
sarothroides), and Graythorn ( Zitvphus obtusifolia). Cacti present include Prickly Pear ( Opuntia engelmanniz),
Fishhook Barrel (Ferocactus wisliZeniz), Chainfruit Cholla ( Cylindropuntia fulgida), Desert Christmas Cactus ( C.
leptocaulis), Buckhorn Cholla (C. acanthocarpa), Cane Cholla (C. ipinosior), Hedgehog (Echinocereus engelmannii),
and Pincushion (Mammillaria microcarpa). Few grass species were observed and limited to Sixweeks Threeawn
(Ariitida adiceniionii), and Bush Muhly (Muhlenbergia porteri ). Significant vegetation, represented by a
structurally diverse and moderate to high density assemblage of native plants, is present in the project area in
the western portion of the project area in the vicinity of the proposed bore. Vegetation in the eastern
portion of the project area near the proposed trenched installation is less diverse and moderate to low in
density.
This project was designed with the goal of avoiding disturbance of areas containing significant native
vegetation and this goal will be achieved by using directional boring construction techniques for most of the
planned natural gas line installation. Of the overall 1.01 acres of vegetation in project area, 0.22 acres or
21.7% will be disturbed during construction and the remaining 0.79 acres or 78.2% will be avoided during
construction and preserved. In addition, 12 inventoried plants located at the edges of the planned areas of
disturbance will also be avoided during construction and preserved.

Table 1 summarizes the quantitative findings of the plant inventory and the transplant on -site (TOS),
preserve -in -place (PIP), and remove from site (RFS) determinations. A summary of plant material within the
planned disturbance area arranged by species and number of plants by disposition can be found in Table 2.

Fencing of Vegetation to be Preserved
All areas containing vegetation to be preserved shall be fenced for protection during construction using
orange construction fencing with a minimum height of four feet. This p rotective fencing must remain in
place throughout the duration of construction.
Salvage Requirements
Because less than 29% of the native vegetation in the project area will be disturbed, the standard mitigation
requirements of Section 26ABAd apply to the SWG project. Specifically, any tree, shrub, or cactus that
meets the salvage criteria must be salvaged and, in the case of the SWG project, returned to and replanted
within the disturbed portion of the pr oject area following construction. The standard mitigation guidelines
also require that five understory plants are planted for every tree salvaged. For this project, one tree will be
salvaged (ID #51); therefore, five understory plants appearing on the supplemental Arizona Department of
Water Quality native plant list will need to be planted within the disturbed area f ollowing construction.
These understory plants, such as Triangle -leaf Bursage, Burrobrush, and Desert Christmas Cactus, may be
salvaged and transplanted from the portions of the project area that will be disturbed during construction.
All 19 T OS plants indicated in Tables 1 and 2 along with the five understory plants salvaged from the
planned disturbance areas will be replanted in the disturbed areas following construction by a landscape
contractor licensed in the State of Arizona.
Mitigation Requirements
Because less than 29% of the native vegetation in the project area will be disturbed, the standard mitigation
requirements of Section 26ABAd apply to the SWG project. Specifically, any tree, shrub, or cactus that
meets the salvage criteria but is destroyed must be replaced at a 1:1 mitigation ratio with the same species
and size as that destroyed. No plant salvage is required or possible concerning the RFS plants found on -site
that will be directly impacted by construction , as all were determined to have low viability and/or
transplantability. There are no RFS trees associated with the project; therefore, the five understory plant
mitigation requirements do not apply to this project. All 12 RFS mitigation plants will be replanted in the
disturbed areas following construction by a landscape contractor licensed in the State of Arizona . The
project's mitigation requirements for RFS shrubs and cacti are summarized in Table 3.

Inventoried Plant Tagging and Color -coding
Inventoried trees and cacti within the planned disturbance area s will be tagged with an
embossed metal inventory number prior to construction, which can be cross -referenced to
the inventory list and aerial photograph. Additionally, color -coded flagging indicating
associated PIP, salvage/TOS, and RFS dispositions will be affixed to each inventoried plant
according to the following schedule:
• PIP: White flagging
• Salvage/TOS: Blue flagging
• RFS: Yellow flagging
Invasive and Noxious Weeds
Three Buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare) individuals (ID # 50 and 55) were identified in the
eastern portion of the project area during the inventory (Table 1). These three plants shall be
dug up, placed in plastic garbage bags, and disposed of properly prior to any plant salvage
work or clearing in the planned disturbance areas taking place.

Agency Notification
SWG shall request an on -site initial inspection by Town staff prior to construction.
Enforcement
Conformance with this Native Plant Preservation Plan is required and will be enforced by
Town staff. Plant removal, damage, or destruction not provided for under this plan is
subject to fines and penalties, including suspension of any permits issued for the planned
natural gas line installation.
