Abstract:
Supplement, pursuant to an opinion and order from a 2003 lawsuit, discusses the application of management recommendations for survey and manage species found in the Straw Devil and East Devil timber sales area, located in the Salt Creek drainage. After surveying found 23 active and 13 inactive red tree vole nests, the recommended action is not to change the awarded timber sales, since the sites were discovered and validated after the contracts was awarded. A supplementary biological evaluation regarding the Canada lynx finds that although early analysis suggested lynx habitat within the Straw Devil planning area, application of subsequent habitat guidelines indicates that there is no lynx habitat.
