The SEIS ROD provides Standards and Guidelines to conduct surveys for various species in compliance with Regional survey protocols including S&G # 33 for California spotted owl, S&G #34 for Northern Goshawk, S&G # 55 for Yosemite Toad, and S&G # 56 for Willow Fly Catcher. Changes to species survey protocols are regional level programmatic policies, developed collaboratively with interagency partners and were not changed in the SNFPA SEIS ROD. This issue will be reviewed at the Regional level.
