Survey
Survey Site:
Swan Falls (IPC SiteNo. DR8003)
Survey Intensity:
very thorough
Population
Population Area:
1.2 acre
More potential habitat to survey:
yes
Suggestions for other areas to survey:
Idaho Power Company (IPC) has surveyed within the Swan Falls Hydroelectric FERC boundary and in immediately adjacent areas, but other potential habitat exists nearby.
Monitoring or research needs for this population:
There are several EOs within the Swan Falls area and several areas that could provide habitat.
Management needs for this population:
In 2013, ORV use was observed in this area - soils were highly disturbed. Livestock use also occurs in this area. In 2015, ORV use seemed to have ceased and areas were healing.
Additional population comments:
IPC walked a much larger area than the original 2005 polygon from IPC contractors. Plants were observed outside the polygon. It is likely more plants are in this area.
