Topic: Columbia Spotted Frog (View All Topics in the Plan)
Fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides should not be applied within 100m of water bodies and wetlands until lethal and sublethal impacts...
Develop a Columbia spotted frog Species Management Plan.
Reduce non-native trout in spotted frog occupied areas.
Do not introduce fish into previously fishless waters in the range of the spotted frog.
Avoid management activities that enhance habitat for non-native aquatic predators.
Develop and adopt a protocol for aquatic field crews, to prevent the spread of frog diseases and pathogens among populations...
Identify and manage dispersal corridors, including terrestrial upland habitats, important to Columbia spotted frogs to maximize ecological connectivity between occupied/restored...
Maintain aquatic connectivity for tadpole dispersal from seasonally inundated breeding areas to permanent water.
Maintain aquatic corridors and suitable habitat, especially during summer (dry season) and winter, to ensure survival of metamorphosed frogs.
Maintain connectivity between breeding areas and permanent water.
No new road development allowed within 100 feet of known spotted frog habitat.
