Survey and Manage Survey Protocol – Lichens Version
2.0
|
Attached is the survey protocol for eight Survey and
Manage lichen species prepared in accordance with the requirements of the 2001
Record of Decision for Amendments to the Survey and Manage, Protection Buffer,
and other Mitigation Measures Standards and Guidelines (ROD).
The protocol requires pre-disturbance surveys when
proposed projects occur within the range, contain or lie within suitable
habitat, and have the potential to cause significant negative effect on habitat
or persistence at the site for any of the eight protocol species. Range
and habitat are described for each species, and guidance is provided to assist
line officers in determining the potential of a proposed project to cause
significant negative effect on habitat or persistence. Line officers
should seek specialists’ recommendations on the type, timing, and intensity of
the proposed habitat disturbing activity in order to evaluate significant
negative effect.
Full implementation of this protocol will be required for
projects that have National Environmental Policy Act decisions, or decision
documents, signed one year from the date of this memorandum and thereafter.
This protocol will be revised, as appropriate, after field
implementation and peer review but should be considered adequate to meet all ROD
requirements until further notice.
