R16E S7). These species include an uncommon false truffle (Macowanites lymanensis), an uncommon
gilled mushroom (Collybia bakerensis), and a rare cup fbngi (Helvella crassitunicata). These species will
also need to be considered, and surveys for these species may be needed before any ground disturbing
activities because of their presence in the site vicinity.
Surveying for a number of survey and manage plant species considered protection buffer or survey and
manage component 2 species is not required because they may only be present for a few weeks during a
season, or because not enough is known about their biology to develop appropriate survey protocols. The
species of this nature with potential to be found in the Wenatchee National Forest have been organized
into Table 4.6- 15 by Teny Lilibridge of the Wenatchee National Forest.
Future Survey Efforts for Survey and Manage Species
Protocol surveys for survey and manage species are required before ground-disturbing activities on
Federal land where potential habitat for these species exists. Survey protocols for the non-vascular plants
and mollusk species became available after the September 1997 survey of Holden Mine area. For this
mine remediation project, surveys should only be required if ground-disturbing activities are proposed in
areas of potential habitat for survey and manage species. Because so many of these species are found in
similar forested habitats, a, multi-species survey approach is recommended for potential impact areas. For
example, mollusk and salamander surveys could be combined, and an intuitive controlled survey for
lichens and bryophytes could be combined with a survey for vascular plants.
