Protocols for Locating and Surveying Potential Hibernacula Sample Clauses

Protocols for Locating and Surveying Potential Hibernacula. Hibernacula (natural caves, mines, tunnels, and other underground workings) within the project area should be located using mineral literature (The Pennsylvania Cave Database, maps and records from the Office of Surface Mining, and the PA Bureau of Abandoned Mines) and properly investigated by a USFWS approved bat consultant. Due to the increased bat activity around such sites and/or the presence of threatened and endangered species, Hibernacula of Concern on or within five miles of a proposed wind development site triggers bat monitoring efforts. The Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) will notify the developer if such a hibernaculum is known on or within five miles of the proposed project and the developer should enter into consultation with the PGC to determine if additional protection or investigation will be useful to siting turbines. The PGC may conduct a survey in or around the project area for potential hibernacula that are not currently known and survey them for the developer. In the event that the PGC survey results confirm a previously unknown hibernaculum the PGC will notify the Cooperator and further coordination will be required. If a mine is located and contains multiple entrances, then all the bats captured at each entrance will be added together to determine if the site qualifies as a Hibernaculum of Concern. The following progression of action should generally be followed in order to meet the agreement, as fits the site classification hierarchy above: 1) A consultant/cooperator will perform a literature search for potential hibernacula within project area. 2) Following the literature review, a consultant will conduct ground searches to examine each identified potential hibernaculum, record the location with a GPS, and search for unknown openings (mine collapse, abandoned tunnels, new caves, etc) within the project area. 3) Consult with PGC to determine if any sites have ever been surveyed for bats. 4) PGC may conduct literature and ground searches for a potential hibernaculum located up to 5 miles from the project area. 5) PGC may survey hibernacula up to 5 miles from the project area. 6) Newly discovered sites, and sites that have not been investigated within 10 years, will be surveyed via the methods and protocols set forth in the USFWS mine sampling protocol. 7) Bat consultants from the USFWS approved list must be hired to examine any potential hibernacula within the project area. 8) If a state-listed species is located within the proje...
