Section 5 <br />Existing Vegetation Communities and Land' Cover <br />Centennial Park <br />Centennial Park is an improved park site that contains a combination of grass <br />lands, native vegetation, ornamental landscaping and large canopy trees. Below <br />is a description of the vegetation communities that are present in the locations at <br />Centennial Park where the Proposed Project improvements would occur. A <br />complete listing of vegetation communities identified at Centennial Park is shown <br />in Table 15. <br />Injection, Well Site MBI-2: The injection well would be constructed below an <br />existing paved parking area. The site is characterized with two vegetation <br />components; trees and turf. The only tree species at this site is Western <br />Sycamore (PlatanUs racemosa). These trees are relatively young at 5-10 years <br />of age and are growing amongst Tall Fescue turf. No understory species are <br />located at this site. The site did not contain suitable habitat to support special <br />status plant or special wildlife species. <br />Injection Well Site MBI-3: The injection well would be constructed below an <br />existing paved parking area. The site is surrounded by a number several species <br />of ornamental trees and non - native, ornamental understory. The trees nearest <br />the project area are Jacaranda (Jacaranda mimosifaiia). Further out from the <br />project site are a number of large Aleppo Pines (Pines hatepensis). There are <br />also a small number of Carrotwood Trees (Cupaniopsis anacardioides), and <br />Western Sycamore trees along an access road which is adjacent to the parking <br />area site where the injection well would be built. The understory of the adjacent <br />planter beneath the Jacarandas is represented by several species of ornamental <br />grasses dominated by Mexican Feathergrass (Stipatenuissima), and Fountain <br />Grass (Pennisetum setaceum). The site did not contain suitable habitat to <br />support special status plant or special wildlife species. <br />Injection Well Site MBI-4: The injection well would be constructed below an <br />existing paved parking area. The site is surrounded by a number several species <br />of ornamental trees and non-native, ornamental understory. The trees nearest <br />the project area are Jacaranda (Jacaranda mirriosifolia). Further out from the <br />project along the main access road are a number of large Aleppo Pines (Pines <br />hatepensis). The understory of the adjacent planter beneath the Jacarandas is <br />represented by several species of ornamental grasses dominated by Mexican <br />Feathergrass (Stipa teouissime), and Fountain Grass (Penniseturn setaceurn). <br />The site did not contain suitable habitat to support special status plant or special <br />status wildlife species. <br />Mid Basin Centennial Park 1 &dnf4yroject Final EIR 5-41 <br />
