1 NEPA TRACKING SHEET - FOR WILDLIFE Last updates February 19, 201 For additional information requirements per Categories, use the 2001 ROD PROJECT: Jess Project Prepared by: Sam Cuenca This form serves to track special management species for projects on the Klamath National Forest. Species considered in this document are those species listed as included on the Region 5 Species list; Survey and Manage species (per the 2001 ROD without application of subsequent Annaul Species Reviews), and Land and Resource Management Plan. Completion of this form certifies that species have been considered and identifies the level of survey effort. Probability of Occurrence Magnitude of Effects per Proposed Action Taxa Group Species Common Name Scientific Name Species Status Project w/in kwn or suspected range and there is suitable habitat w/in project area ("Yes" only if both are true) Kwn sites exist in proposed project/ treatment area (Yes/No) Magnitude of Effects (high, moderate, low) Source of Survey Information (cite source including range map) Tailed Frog Ascaphus truei yes low range maps Western Pond Turtle Siskiyou Mts.
