<br />GOti5S4 <br /> <br />16 <br /> <br />MA 14Ab evaluate the establishment or discovery of a second <br />population of Kanab ambersnail in Arizona (RPM 2, 1996 <br />BHBF); and <br /> <br />MA 14Ac evaluate incidental take. (RPM 2, 1996 BHBF) <br /> <br />MA 14.5 Continue coordination with the Interagency Kanab Ambersnail Working <br />Group to establish or discover a second population of the Kanab <br />ambersnail in Arizona. (Fall 97 Flow T&C 4) <br /> <br />MA 14.6 Monitoring of the project area and other areas that could be affected by the <br />proposed action shall be done to ascertain take of individuals of the <br />species and/or of its habitat that causes harm, harassment, or death to the <br />species. This monitoring will be accomplished using the following <br />protocol: <br /> <br />MA 14.6.a "A Draft Proposal to Assess, Mitigate and Monitor the <br />impacts of an Experimental High Flow from Glen Canyon <br />Dam on the Endangered Kanab Ambersnail at Vaseys <br />Paradise, Grand Canyon, Arizona" (Stevens et al. 1995b). <br /> <br />MA 14.6.b In order to more accurately determine elevation of river stage <br />at the range of flow that will be experienced during the test <br />flow, and for use in developing a stage discharge relationship <br />for future flow, the placement of a stage recorder, such as a <br />pressure transducer coupled to a recorder should be deployed, <br />if possible, in the mainstem at an appropriate site near the <br />Kanab ambersnail population. The U.S. Geologic Survey <br />should be contacted regarding the possibility of changing the <br />location of a stage recorder to be used in test flow studies to <br />the Kanab ambersnail site. <br /> <br />MA 14.6.c SALVAGE PROTOCOL. Kanab ambersnail specimens <br />found dead, or taken as part of research activities, shall be <br />collected and held as specified in the AGFD and NPS permit, <br />with final deposition in a suitable museum collection such as <br />at Northern Arizona University (1996 BHBF KAS T&C 1) <br /> <br />IN 14.7 Determine changes in populations, health, and character of Kanab <br />ambersnail, due to dam operations(?) <br /> <br />Revised 6-10-98 <br />
