 across the species' range. Sites will be located and flagged 

 during daylight, prior to surveys. Flagging will be removed when 

 surveys are completed. During the first year of surveys. Forest 

 Service personnel will take pictures of each survey site, 

 delineate on the pictures the specific area to be surveyed along 

 with a hand-drawn sketch of the site, and provide detailed 

 directions (with map) on how to get to the svirvey site(s) in a 

 permanent file. 



Surveys will be conducted in the evening (after sunset) during 

 the cool, wet periods of May through June during or one day after 

 rain, when evening air temperatures are above 7°C (48°F) . Searches 

 will be conducted by looking on rocks, moss, woody debris and in 

 rock crevices with illumination within a specific measured area 

 containing the known site of occurrence. Impacts to sites from 

 monitoring will be minimized by not moving rocks, moss and other 

 material dxiring the search. Only animals located on the surface 

 will be counted. 



Time-constrained sxirveys will be conducted at each site (Corn 

 and Bury 1990) . For small seeps whose total wet area can be seen 

 by one person standing in one place (e.g. < 100 m^; 1,075 ft^) , 

 surveys should be conducted for 20 person-minutes (one person for 

 20 minutes or two people for 10 minutes) . For larger seeps or 

 sites that might consist of a small cascading stream and adjacent 

 wet areas, searches will be conducted for 40-person minutes 

 (Table 3) . Efforts should be made to svirvey all moist habitat at 

 each site.
