Long-term and cumulative effects on boreal toads are not expected to occw based on the <br />knowledge that: <br />• Potential suitable habitat for the boreal does not exist within the Project area. <br />• The proposed project will not affect any habitat that would support boreal toads. <br />• No roads run through habitat capable of supporting boreal toads. <br />• Cumulative adverse effects on boreal toads by proposed actions will not occw. <br />• The limited scope and scale of the proposed action means that boreal habitat is not <br />at risk, and population viability is not at risk. <br />Based on cwrent information, the project will have No Effect on the boreal toad. <br />BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION FOR SENSITIVE SPECIES <br />The USDA Forest Service, Region 2 lists a total of 58 terrestrial vertebrates, fish, <br />invertebrates and plant species, which occw, potentially occur, or habitat for which <br />occurs in the GMUG as sensitive. A review of information on these species shows that <br />for 17 species, either they are known to occw or suitable habitat exists in this portion of <br />the Gunnison National Forest (See Table 3). The purpose of this section is to analyze the <br />effects of the proposed project, to determine if the proposed activities are likely to cause a <br />loss of viability or a trend toward Federal listing under the Endangered Species Act for <br />any of these species. <br />22 <br />
