Contact the Department of Wildlife by mail to determine if priority habitat for any state 

 listed or candidate species has been documented in or near the wetland being studied. A sample 

 letter is included in Figure 3. Send a general map showing the location of the wetlands along 

 with township/range/scction information.

The Department of Wildlife maintains a database of the locations of priority habitat for all 

 wildlife designated as priority species in Washington. The database includes documented 

 brooding sites, colonial or connmunal roosts, areas of regular concentration and /or locations of 

 individual observations. This information is mapped onto a geographic information system. 

 All federally listed or proposed Threatened and Endangered wildlife species occurring in 

 Washington also have State-listed status. There is relatively complete information on 

 priority habitats for stale listed or candidate Endangered or Threatened wildlife. 



JUSTIFICATION 



There are few listed or candidate State Endangered or Threatened species that are confined to 

 wetland habitats in forested areas. One of the few examples is the western pond turtle 

 Clemmys marmorata, a Stale-listed Threatened species. However, the peregrin falcon Falco 

 peregtinus and Columbia white-tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus leucurus, both State 

 Endangered species, use wetlands as well as other habitats in forested areas. 



SUB-CRITERIA - FISH SPECIES 



Does the wetland contain documented habitats of State or Federally listed or Stale or Federal 

 candidate Threatened or Endangered fish sp>ecies, or races of fish, managed by the Washington 

 Department of Wildlife or the Washington Department of Fisheries?
