This report describes the updates to the vernal pool habitat map, the development of the ambient baseline ecological condition survey of vernal pool systems within the Central Valley, and the development and results of the habitat development curve. A fictional project example shows how CRAM and the vernal pool complex CDFs and HDCs can help project proponents and the regulatory agencies think critically about project designs (using CRAM Attributes and Metrics as a standard measure), evaluate project conditions within a regional landscape context, and monitor project performance over time to ensure that project goals are met.
