brief and should include the following information: ` the principal terrestrial ecological features of the site and vicinity, transmission and access corridors, and offsite areas, with emphasis on the communities that will be potentially affected by proposed project construction, operation, or maintenance. This information should be based on an analysis of at least one full year of data, to reflect seasonal variations in terrestrial populations. Thus, the extent of discussion of various plant and animal communities should be adequate to support the impact assessments for ESRP Chapters 4.0 and 5.0.
