Abstract
  • The Townsend’s big-eared bat is listed as “Bureau Sensitive” by the Bureau of Land Management. This designation includes species restricted in range which have natural or human caused threats to their survival and which could easily become endangered or extinct in a state. This species is also listed as “Critical” by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. The status of Oregon “Critical” means listing as threatened or endangered may be needed or is pending. The sensitivity of the Townsend’s big-eared bat, the location of Salt Caves in the “Scenic” section of the Upper Klamath River, the importance of the site to the tribes, and the history of recreational use of the area has prompted the need to develop a Cave Management Plan. The purpose of this Environmental Assessment is for preparation of a Salt Caves Management Plan intended to provide a framework for monitoring and protecting the wildlife, cultural, geologic, mineralogic, hydrologic, and scientific resources at Salt Caves. Management actions implemented to date, which are discussed later in this document, are believed to have been quite effective in curtailing the majority of human use of the caves.
