| Summary: | Subject: Biological Opinion for the Hazard Tree Management Plan This transmits the Biological Opinion (Opinion) of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service based on our review of the Hazard Tree Management Plan Biological Assessment (BA), Mount Rainier National Park (Park). A detailed description of the proposed action and its potential effects to listed species is provided in the attached Opinion. The Park determined that the proposed action “may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect ” the northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) and “may affect, and is likely to adversely affect ” the marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus). The Park also determined that the proposed action would have no effect on the gray wolf (Canis lupus), grizzly bear (Ursus arctos), Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis), bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) or the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). The attached Opinion evaluates the potential effects of the proposed action on the threatened northern spotted owl and marbled murrelet. |
