APPENDIX C: THREATENED, ENDANGERED, AND SPECIAL STATUS SPECIES

This appendix contains tables C-1 through C-7 that present flora and fauna identified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and state governments as threatened, endangered, or other special status. Special status species include Federal candidate species and state classifications such as species of concern or species in need of management. The threatened, endangered, and special status lists include all such species which could potentially occur in a site area regardless of their residence status (i.e., breeding, year round, summer, winter, or migratory) or likelihood of being affected by project actions.
