<br />1 Status: E – Federal Endangered; T – Federal Threatened; C – Federal Candidate; SOC – Federal Species of Concern; BLM-S – BLM Washington Sensitive; BLM-C – BLM Washington Candidate; WE – Washington State Endangered; WT – Washington State Threatened; WC – Washington State Candidate, WS – Washington
<br />State Sensitive; and WR – Washington State Rare; CH – designated critical habitat.
<br />2 Occurrence: Present – species documented within the Project study area; Likely - species likely to occur based on presence of suitable habitat and local species abundance and nearby occurrences; Possible – species may occur based on presence of marginal or suitable habitat and/or occurrences within 25 to 50 miles,
<br />depending on species mobility; Very Unlikely – species is very unlikely to occur due to lack of habitat and/or Project study area is well outside of species known range (at least 25 to 50 miles, depending on species mobility).
<br />3 Route Segments: Route segments with potential for species occurrence are listed.
<br />4 Cover Types: S = cover type provides suitable habitat for this species; M = cover type provides marginal habitat for this species; - = cover type does not provide suitable habitat for this species.
