  • James Spinymussel (Pleurobema Collina)
    James Spinymussel (Pleurobema collina) Recovery Plan Prepared by Annapolis Field Office U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Annapolis, Maryland James Spinymussel (Pleurobema collina) Recovery Plan Prepared by: G. Andrew Moser Annapolis Field Office Annapolis, Maryland U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 5 Newton Corner, Massachusetts Approved ~77d4~$41~47 Regional Director, .S. Fish and Wildlife Service Date: _________ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY JAMES SPINYMUSSEL RECOVERY PLAN Current Status: The endangered James spinymussel has experienced a precipitous decline over the past two decades. The species appears to be extirpated from 90% of its historic range, with survival documented only in a few small tributaries to the James River. Its restricted distribution makes the species vulnerable to threats such as water quality perturbations, disease, and displacement by the exotic Asian clam. Habitat Requirements and Limitiun Factors: This species lives in stream sites that vary in width from 10-75 feet and depth of 1/2 to 3 feet. It requires a slow to moderate water current with clean sand and cobble bottom sediments. The spinymussel is limited to areas of unpolluted water, and may be more susceptible to competition from exotic clam species when its habitat is disturbed. Recovery Goal: To delist the James spinymussel by protecting and enhancing the habitat of existing populations and by establishing or expanding populations within its historical range. Recovery Objectives 1. To reclassify this mussel to threatened by (a) determining that populations in the Craig Creek drainage and 80% of all other known populations are stable or expanding (focusing on distribution of populations within four rivers or creeks) and (b) protecting all known populations and their habitat from foreseeable threats.

    United States Department of the Interior FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE Ecological Services 6669 Short Lane Gloucester, VA 23061 Colonel David L. Hansen U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Norfolk District 803 Front Street Norfolk, Virginia 23510-1096 Attn: Ms. Alice Allen-Grimes Regulatory Branch Re: Corps Permit Applications 02-4073 and 02-4074, VDOT, Botetourt County, Virginia Colonel Hansen: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed project plans for the referenced projects, Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) project numbers 0817-011 and 0770-011. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) proposes issuing two Department of the Army permits under Nationwide Permit Number 3 (in effect for 5 years) pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The permits would authorize the maintenance of two existing fords in Botetourt County, Virginia. Both fords cross Craig Creek, one between County Route (CR) 817 and the Hanner property, the other between CR 770 and the Carter property (enclosed map). The Service received a request for formal consultation from the Corps on March 29, 2002. This document represents the Service's biological opinion on the effects of these actions on the James spinymussel (Pleurobema collina) in accordance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). A complete administrative record of this consultation is on file in this office. I. CONSULTATION HISTORY 5/01/00 Letter from VDOT to Service requesting comments regarding potential impacts of maintenance of twelve open fords to the James spinymussel. May, 2000 Service recommends James spinymussel surveys at eight of the maintained fords.
