The BioMaAS team conducted surveys for special-status species, including the California red-legged frog and San Francisco garter snake on the Jefferson-Martin 230 k-V Line Project adjacent to the San Andreas Reservoir. Prior to construction, BioMaAS conducted protocol-level surveys along the project right-of-way, including a 90-day trapping survey for San Francisco garter snake, California red-legged frog, and western pond turtle.
