The ANHP list includes flora and fauna whose occurrence in Arizona is or may be injeopardy or that have known or perceived threats or population declines (AZGFD 2010). TheANHP list is provided in Appendix B. These species are not necessarily the same as thoseprotected under the ESA.The project area could be considered suitable habitat for various state sensitive bird, reptile,mammal, and plant species; however, no state-listed species for Cochise County were observedduring the May 2011 biological survey of the alternative sites.3.7.2 Environmental Consequences3.7.2.1 No Action AlternativeThe No Action Alternative would preclude the construction, operation, and maintenance of theproposed FOB. No wildlife habitat or potential habitat for protected or threatened or endangeredspecies would be altered. Indirect impacts from illegal activity would continue. More agentswould be required to patrol the remote eastern zones of the USBP Douglas Station’s AOR toaccount for the necessary drive time to their patrol areas. Indirect impacts from CBV activitiesand subsequent USBP interdiction activities would be greater under the No Action Alternativethan any of the other alternatives.3.7.2.2 Preferred AlternativeNo Federally or state-protected species were observed during the biological survey at thePreferred Alternative site. No lesser long-nosed bats, potential or existing roost sites wereobserved, and only sparsely distributed, low-quality potential forage habitat was observed at thePreferred Alternative site during the 2011 biological survey.
