The California High-Speed Rail Authority's Palmdale to Burbank Project Section Draft EIR/EIS discusses the potential impacts on biological and aquatic resources, including wetlands, from the construction and operation of the high-speed rail system. The section provides an introduction to the regulatory setting and affected environment, and references other sections and technical reports that provide additional information on related topics, such as noise and vibration, hydrology and water resources, and hazardous materials. The report defines key terms, including special-status species, and lists examples of such species, including those protected under the Federal Endangered Species Act, the California Endangered Species Act, and other regulations. The section also addresses concerns expressed by stakeholders during outreach efforts, including impacts on wild animals, the Angeles National Forest, and hydrology due to tunneling.
