<br />1-7 <br />EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE RECOVERY PLAN FOR FASSETT'S LOCOWEED <br /> <br />Current Status: This species is listed as threatened. During a 1988 <br />survey, Fassett's locoweed has been relocated at four of eight historical <br />stations. Three of the sites are currently on the market or were recently <br />sold to new private owners. Only eight plants were found at the fourth <br />station, which is a highly developed lake shoreline. <br /> <br />Habitat Reauirements and Limitina Factors: None of the four known sites <br />of Fassett's locoweed are in protected ownership. Shoreline development <br />is the largest threat to the species. Plants are located on sandy <br />shorelines of land-locked seepage lakes where water levels fluctuate <br />regularly in response to rainfall patterns. The species may depend upon a <br />persistent seed bank to survive during periods of high water, then <br />germinating soon after a shoreline is exposed during low levels. <br /> <br />Recovery Objective: Delisting <br /> <br />Recovery Criteria: Protect and maintain ten separate and self-sustaining <br />populations of Fassett's locoweed. These should include all known extant <br />colonies as well as introduced populations. Introduced colonies will not <br />be considered successfully established until after a lapse of fifteen years. <br /> <br />Actions Needed: <br />1. Survey suitable habitat for additional populations, and acquire known <br />populations. <br />2. Monitor existing populations. <br />3. Conduct research on the biology of the species. <br />4. Establish new populations of Fassett's locoweed. <br />5. Investigate and conduct necessary management activities at all key <br />sites. <br /> <br />f <br />t <br /> <br />Costs (ODD's): <br />Year Need 1 Need 2 Need 3 Need 4 Need 5 Total <br />1990 0.0 2.5 2.0 5.0 1.5 11.0 <br />1991 20.0 2.5 0.0 5.0 1.5 29.0 <br />1992 20.0 2.5 2.0 5.0 11.5 41.0 <br />1993 20.0 2.5 0.0 .0 11.5 34.0 <br />1994 20.0 2.5 2.0 .0 1.5 26.0 <br />1995 50.0 2.5 0.0 .0 1.5 54.0 <br />1996 0.0 2.5 2.0 .0 1.5 6.0 <br />1997 0.0 2.5 0.0 .0 1.5 4.0 <br />1998 0.0 2.5 2.0 .0 1.5 6.0 <br />1999 0.0 2.5 0.0 .0 1.5 4.0 <br />2000 0.0 2.5 0.0 .0 1.5 4.0 <br />Recovery Cost 130.0 27.5 10.0 15.0 36.5 219.0 <br />Date of Recovery: Delisting should be initiated in 2007, if recovery <br />criteria have been met. <br /> <br />OS/25/90 <br />
