Page 75 Imazapyr was added to Treatment Group D11 and triclopyr was added to Treatment Group D8. Page 75-76 It was noted that treatment methods are based on best current science and the experience of invasive plant control professionals and that as new information becomes available about effective (or ineffective) treatment options for species or species groups, modifications to the Treatment Key may be considered as part of the Annual Treatment Plan. Pages 81, 83-84 Additional detail was added to some of the alternatives in the Alternatives Considered but Eliminated from Detailed Study section. Page 89 The Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline was added to Table 2-16, Reasonably Foreseeable Actions.

Page 189 Clarification that an effect would be short-term was added to the Water Issue 1 Cumulative Effects section. 4 Integrated Invasive Plant Management for the Medford District Revised Environmental Assessment Changes to the EA Page 202 Edits were made to Traditional and Cultural Uses Issue 1 to clarify that areas treated with herbicides would have posted signs. Pages 211-213 A Cost Implementation Issue (not analyzed in detail) was added to the analysis. Appendices Pages 297-300 Edits were made where various Biological Assessments were quoted in the Protections Measures for Federally Listed Species section to clarify that the text came from the Biological Assessments. Pages 342-344 Table D-3, Summary of Other Non-Native Plant Species that May Be Invasive in Some Circumstances, was added and includes species removed from Table 2-3 (pages 37-41). These species were also removed from Table D-2, Species and Treatment Groups (pages 337-342).

A LIST OF THE VASCULAR PLANTS ENDEMIC TO THE KLAMATH-SISKIYOU REGION OF CALIFORNIA AND OREGON James P. Smith, Jr. & John O. Sawyer, Jr. † Department of Biological Sciences Humboldt State University February 2020 In California, the Klamath-Siskiyou Region includes all or portions of Colusa, Del Norte, Glenn, Humboldt, Shasta, Siskiyou, Tehama, and Trinity counties. In Oregon, it includes all or portions of Curry, Douglas, Jackson, and Josephine counties. The region is the home of 215 endemics. No family of vascular plants is endemic here. Kalmiopsis is endemic to Oregon, Howellanthus to California, and Bensoniella to both states. There are 103 taxa restricted to northwestern California; 38 taxa to southwestern Oregon; and 74 taxa endemic to the region in both states. We have excluded taxa that are based on suspect far-out- of-range collections, presumed extinct, or that were otherwise anomalous.

  • Biological Evaluation for Sensitive Plants, Smith River Road Management and Route Designation Project
    Final BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION/BIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT for THREATENED, ENDANGERED, SENSITIVE PLANT AND FUNGI SPECIES Gordon Hill Vegetation and Fuels Management Project Smith River National Recreation Area SIX RIVERS NATIONAL FOREST July 18, 2014 Name ____________________________ Date________________ 3 Gordon Vegetation and Fuels Management Project I. INTRODUCTION The objectives of this biological assessment and evaluation are (a) to determine the effects of a fuels management project on any Threatened, Endangered, Sensitive plant or fungi species and (b) to insure these species receive full consideration in the decision- making process to maintain species viability (FSM 2672.4). McDonald’s rock-cress (Arabis macdonaldiana) is the only Federally listed species on the Forest with the potential to occur in the project area (USFWS species list dated May 2014, Document Number: 789445427-10356). On Six Rivers, McDonald’s rock-cress is known only to the North Fork and upper Middle Fork Smith River drainages (Sanger Peak) in Del Norte County where it occupies barrens, rock outcrops occasionally outcrop micro-sites in Idaho fescue grasslands. Serpentinite and peridotite are the primary substrates for this species. The project area is geographically south of the known range; furthermore Jeffrey-pine grasslands were surveyed as a part of this project for Sensitive species and there were no incidental detections of McDonald’s rock-cress. This species will not be further analyzed. II. CURRENT MANAGEMENT DIRECTION Current policy for Sensitive plants as stated in the Forest Service Manual includes the following: Maintain viable populations of all native and desired nonnative wildlife, fish, and plant species in habitats distributed throughout their geographic range on National Forest System lands (FSM 2670.22).
