  • Vegetation Treatments Record of Decision
    Attachment B – Conservation Measures for Special Status Species Introduction These Conservation Measures were displayed in Appendix 5 of the Final EIS. They are the product of the PEIS Biological Assessment and adopted by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service Consultation, and apply to listed and proposed species as described in those consultation documents. These do not apply where a No Effect determination can be made without them, or where site-specific consultation identifies alternative ways to achieve appropriate protection. PEIS Mitigation Measures adopted by this Record of Decision also require implementation of certain of these conservation measures “When necessary to protect Special Status plant/fish and other aquatic organisms/wildlife species….” (see Attachment A). Conservation Measures for Birds Conservation Measures for the California Brown Pelican Although treatment activities are unlikely to negatively affect the brown pelican or its habitat, extra steps could be taken by the BLM to ensure that herbicide treatments conducted in brown pelican wintering habitat did not result in negative effects to the species: • If feasible, conduct vegetation treatments in brown pelican wintering habitat outside the period when pelicans are likely to be present. • If herbicide treatments in brown pelican habitats must be conducted during the wintering period: ◦ Do not use 2,4-D in pelican wintering habitat. ◦ Prior to conducting herbicide treatments on pelican wintering habitat, survey the area for pelicans. Wait for pelicans to leave the area before spraying. ◦ Do not broadcast spray clopyralid, glyphosate, hexazinone, picloram, or triclopyr in pelican wintering habitats. ◦ If broadcast spraying imazapyr or metsulfuron methyl in pelican wintering habitats, use the typical rather than the maximum application rate.

  • Final Environmental Impact Statement Ochoco Summit Trail System Project Chapter 3 – Environmental Consequences – Wildlife
    Final Environmental Impact Statement Ochoco Summit Trail System Project Chapter 3 – Environmental Consequences – Wildlife Wildlife _________________________________________ This section includes a summary of the Wildlife specialist’s report and Biological Evaluation; the entire report is in the Ochoco Summit Trail System project record, located at the Ochoco National Forest, Prineville, Oregon. General Effects to Wildlife With all management activities, there are negative effects to some species and benefits to others that must be considered and balanced along with the need for those human activities. Negative effects of recreational OHV use on wildlife may include wildlife mortality, direct and indirect loss of habitat, displacement, and reduced connectivity. Factors that influence the vulnerability of different wildlife species include behavior and ecology. For example, animals that tend to stay closer to shelter, such as gray squirrel and woodchuck, can tolerate closer encounters with humans because they can quickly escape (Frid and Dill 2002; Gill et al. 1996). Other species tend to forage less and spend less time in quality habitat near human activity (Gill et al. 1996). Still other species may respond positively to human development and use of OHV trails and roads; potential benefits are related to habitat, mobility, and food resources. Openings, shrubs and grasses may develop alongside roads, providing additional foraging habitats. Cleared roads and trails are utilized as travel corridors for some species. No road construction is proposed for the Ochoco Summit project; however, there are ongoing effects of existing roads, and the effects of existing roads and proposed OHV trails are similar. Road widths vary from 14 to 35 feet depending on single or double lane and maintenance of right of way.
