Big Lost Mountain Whitefish PROSOPIUM WILLIAMSONI Rev
Conservation Success Index: Big Lost Mountain Whitefish PROSOPIUM WILLIAMSONI Rev. 2.0 - 7/2009 SPECIES SUMMARY Idaho has several sinks river drainages that infiltrate completely into the porous volcanic geology of the northern Snake River Plain and, hence, are disconnected from other surface waters. The Big Lost River, the largest of the sinks drainages, has lacked a surface connection to other rivers for at least 10,000 years. Although the Big Lost River formally terminates at the Big Lost River Sinks, the river also loses water at several natural sinks that form a complex subsurface and groundwater system throughout the valley. The mountain whitefish Prosopium williamsoni is native to western North America, including the Big Lost River in northeastern Idaho. It was first described by Charles Girard in 1891. Recent research at the University of Montana determined the mountain whitefish in the Big Lost River to be genetically divergent from other populations, including its parent population in the upper Snake River; genetic isolation times are estimated to be around 166,000 to 330,000 years. Current Populations and Historic Range Map The mountain whitefish in the Big Lost River has experienced drastic declines from its historical distribution and abundance. According to the 2005 Mountain Whitefish Conservation and Management Plan, it occupied only 24% of its historical range, and abundance was 1.5% of historical estimates. Although the mountain whitefish is considered to be a large river fish, little is known about its habitat requirements. As a result, it remains unknown whether the ecology of mountain whitefish in the Big Lost River differs from other populations. -

It contains information relative to the hazards and vulnerabilities facing Custer County. The jurisdictions participating in this Plan include Custer County and the cities of Challis, Mackay, and Stanley. The City of Clayton will be requested to endorse this Plan and participate in its implementation. This Plan is designed to interface with the State of Idaho Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan published in November 2004 and revised in November 2007. 1 Custer County Multi-Jurisdiction All Hazard Mitigation Plan Final January 6, 2009 This Page Intentionally Blank 2 Custer County Multi-Jurisdiction All Hazard Mitigation Plan Final January 6, 2009 3 Custer County Multi-Jurisdiction All Hazard Mitigation Plan Final January 6, 2009 4 Custer County Multi-Jurisdiction All Hazard Mitigation Plan Final January 6, 2009 This Page Intentionally Blank 5 Custer County Multi-Jurisdiction All Hazard Mitigation Plan Final January 6, 2009 6 Custer County Multi-Jurisdiction All Hazard Mitigation Plan Final January 6, 2009 This Page Intentionally Blank 7 Custer County Multi-Jurisdiction All Hazard Mitigation Plan Final January 6, 2009 8 Custer County Multi-Jurisdiction All Hazard -

Idaho Point-headed Grasshopper Survey and Inventory Idaho Falls District Bureau of Land Management Final Report December 2010 Prepared by: Beth Waterbury, Regional Wildlife Biologist Idaho Department of Fish and Game Salmon Regional Office 99 Highway 93 North Salmon, Idaho 83467 Challenge Cost Share Agreement No. L09AC16255 U.S. Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management Idaho Falls District and Idaho Department of Fish and Game ABSTRACT The Idaho point-headed grasshopper (Acrolophitus pulchellus) (IPG) is a rare Idaho endemic known to occur in xeric shrublands of Idaho’s Birch Creek and Big Lost River drainages. The species is known from only 17 records dating from 1883 to 1993. Surveys conducted in 2002- 2003 failed to detect IPGs, leading to speculation that the species was extinct. Due to the lack of essential information on distribution and status, the IPG is designated as an Idaho Species of Greatest Conservation Need and a Bureau of Land Management Type 2 Sensitive Species. The purpose of our project was to survey public lands within the known range of this species to demonstrate, if possible, its extant status, evaluate habitat composition and condition at historical sites of collection, and assess its general conservation status. We surveyed 7 historic collection sites and 22 additional sites from 21 July to 20 August 2010. We detected 55 IPGs in 11 of 29 survey sites. We recorded a majority of detections in the Birch Creek Valley of Clark County (n = 41) on public lands managed by the Upper Snake BLM Field Office and the Dubois Ranger District of Caribou-Targhee National Forest. -
Replacement Capability for Disposal of Remote-Handled Low-Level Radioactive Waste Generated at the Department of Energy’S Idaho Site
Draft Environmental Assessment for the Replacement Capability for Disposal of Remote-Handled Low-Level Radioactive Waste Generated at the Department of Energy’s Idaho Site August 2011 DOE/EA-1793 Draft Environmental Assessment for the Replacement Capability for Disposal of Remote-Handled Low-Level Radioactive Waste Generated at the Department of Energy's Idaho Site August 2011 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposes to provide replacement capability for disposal of remote-handled low-level radioactive waste (LLW) generated at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) site beginning in October 2017. Historically, INL has disposed of this LLW onsite. However, the existing disposal area located within the INL Radioactive Waste Management Complex will undergo closure as part of ongoing cleanup of INL and will not be available after 2017. The proposed project to establish replacement capability is not a DOE Environmental Management Idaho Cleanup Project activity. DOE is preparing this draft environmental assessment to evaluate potential environmental impacts related to replacement capability options for the disposal of remote-handled LLW generated on the INL site. DOE will continue to dispose of contact–handled LLW (waste having lower levels of radiation) off-site at acceptable disposal facilities. DOE developed the following selection criteria to determine a range of reasonable alternatives that would meet DOE’s need for replacement disposal capability: Provide dependable and predictable disposal capacity in support of continued -
Salmon-Challis NF Fire Plan
SALMON/CHALLIS NATIONAL FOREST 2014 FIRE MANAGEMENT PLAN Nez Perce Fire 2013 Interagency Federal fire policy requires that every area with burnable vegetation must have a Fire Management Plan (FMP). This FMP provides information about the fire management planning process for the Salmon/Challis National Forest and compiles guidance from existing sources such as but not limited to, the Salmon and Challis National Forest Land and Resource Management Plans, (Salmon: 1/1988, Challis: 6/1987) national policy, and national and regional directives. The potential consequences to firefighter and public safety and welfare, natural and cultural resources, and values to be protected help determine the appropriate management response (AMR) during a fire. Firefighter and public safety are the first consideration and are always the priority during every response. The following chapters discuss broad forest and specific Fire Management Unit (FMU) characteristics and guidance. Chapter 1 introduces the area covered by the FMP, includes a map of the Salmon/Challis National Forest, addresses the agencies involved, and states why the forest is developing the FMP. Reviewed and Updated by: Todd Baumer Forest AFMO Date: 02/24/14 Salmon/Challis National Forest Fire Management Plan Chapter 2 establishes the link between higher-level planning documents, legislation, and policies and the actions described in FMP. Chapter 3 articulates specific goals, objectives, standards, guidelines, and/or desired future condition(s), as established in the forest’s LRMP, which apply to all the forest’s FMUs and those that are unique to the forest’s individual FMUs.
