No protection is given to a State sensitive species by • <br /> either the Federal or State laws: <br /> • <br /> • <br /> E. -Other natural or manmade factors affecting its continued existence <br /> The areas :occupied by sensitive species have been invaded -by alien plants such as <br /> sweet vernal grass (Anthoxanthum ordoratum), orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata), heal -all <br /> (Prunella vulgaris), ox -eye daisy (Chrysanthemum leucanthemum), and plantain (Plantago <br /> lanceolata). The impacts of these species upon the native wetland species is currently not known <br /> but may have a negative influence. <br /> V.E. Conservation Actions that will be Carried out <br /> In response to the potential threats identified above, the Green Mountain Resort , U. S. Fish. and <br /> Wildlife: Service and Washington State Department 'of Natural Resources shall implement the <br /> following as allowed under laws, regulations aria policies effective at the time of the proposed <br /> actions and subject to limitations in funding. <br /> A. Green Mountain Resort shall: <br /> 1. by October 31 annually, inform the Field Supervisor of the Oregon FWS office and the <br /> Washington State Department of Natural Resources of all conservation activities completed <br /> during the year for these three sensitive species. <br /> 2. for the area identified on the map that accompanied the August 15, 1994 . letter from <br /> Washington State Department of Natural Resources as habitat currently occupied by Bradshaw's <br /> lomatium, as well as a buffer zone(see Attachment), dedicate to providing habitat and <br /> enhancement of the three sensitive species listed in I above in perpetuity as the Green Mountain <br /> Resort Conservation. Area <br /> 3. collect Eryngium petrolatum and Lomatium bradshawii seeds in an amount not exceed 2% , <br /> of the population withinthe Green Mountain Resort Conservation area in any year. Seeds will be <br /> collected and sent to the Berry Botanic Garden to assure that an adequate seed bank exists to <br /> reintroduce. genetically diverse individuals 'of these species, if necessary: ` <br /> 4. develop and implement by 1996 studies which monitor hydrological conditions, contaminant <br /> run -off, pollinator populations, small rodent populations and population size for the three species ' <br /> of concern (item I above). The monitoring objective is to determine if a 35% change in the <br /> density of Eryngium petrolatum, Lomatium bradshawii, or Trillium parviflorum occurs between <br /> the baseline estimate and any subsequent year, with a 95% confidence level of detecting this <br /> degree of change: <br />
