ELEMENT OCCURRENCES 



Under "Element Name" list all elements sought, reported, or 

 confirmed from the site. If known, record the "Occurrence 

 Numbers" for each. Use the "Plot Number" codes from the 

 community survey form or generate simple letter or number 

 codes which identify each element occurrence on the base map; 

 these codes help keep the base map uncluttered. Indicate 

 whether the element was found (Y, N) on the date of the site 

 visit, and whether a return visit is needed. 



SITE DESCRIPTION/DESIGN 



SITE DESCRIPTION 



Enter a short general visual description of the site. The 

 description should present a simple, easily understood, word 

 picture of the site's principle physical and natural features. 



Example: "The site is a granitic exfoliation dome of 

 the Boulder batholith. It is primarily 

 covered by crustose lichens. Vascular plants 

 are rooted in rock fissures." 



Comments about the biodiversity significance of the site will 

 be generated later following review of the Site Survey and 

 Community Survey forms and should not be part of this site 

 description. 



BOUNDARY JUSTIFICATION 



Explain the biological rationale used to determine the loca- 

 tion of the site's primary and secondary ecological bounda- 

 ries. Your explanation should clearly justify why the site 

 boundaries were drawn where they were rather than simply 

 describing the boundaries or any coincidental property lines. 

 Include reference to the source of information (e.g., field 

 work, maps, etc.) on which boundary decisions were based. 



PROTECTION URGENCY 



A protection action may include activities such as educational 

 or public relations campaigns or collaborative planning 

 efforts with public or private entities to minimize adverse 

 impacts to element occurrences at the site. It does not 

 include management actions (i.e., any action requiring 

 stewardship intervention) . 



Threats that may require a protection action include:
