Changes Sheet for:

FINAL REPORT
Implications of Capitol Lake
Management for Fish and Wildlife
1) Executive Summary: 4th paragraph: Conclusion 2 regarding the anticipated results of
estuarine restoration was modified to indicate state listed species would be favored by the
lake options. This change results from the fact that Chinook Salmon and Steelhead in the
Deschutes are an exception to listing (see also species with special designation section),
according to the NOAA Fisheries.
2) Section 3.1.1.4.2 Bats: Begins Page 44: We checked the listing status of the four bats with
frequent use of Capitol Lake and found none of the four species has special designation;
this was not previously discussed, hence no changed was required.
3) Section 3.1.1.4.2 Bats: 1st paragraph: Page 44: California Myotis (Myotis californicus) was
moved to Appendix I because it should have been treated as a species making infrequent
use of Capitol Lake (G. Falxa, pers. comm.); it has only been recorded near the Capitol
Lake Interpretive Center.
4) Section 3.1.1.4.2 Bats: 1st paragraph: Page 44: Coupled to change #3, we removed the
clause, "and California Myotis (Myotis californicus) has been detected near the Capitol Lake
Interpretive Center" and substituted it with, "and three other bat species have been
detected on Capitol Lake (Appendix I)." The latter clause result from the inclusion of
Townsend's Big-eared Bat (Corynorhinus townsendii) and Hoary Bat (Lasiurus cinereus) on the
Appendix I list based on information that was provided after we submitted the draft and
that was presented at the recent CLAMP meeting. Data on the former species is based on
single acoustic detection and data on the latter species are based on a few detections.
Based on this information, both species properly belong in Appendix I.
5) Section 3.1.1.4.2 Bats: 2nd paragraph: Page 44: Toward the middle of this paragraph, we
clarified that the lack of provision of adequate resources could potentially mean levels of
insect productivity, lake size, or some combination thereof.
6) Section 3.1.1.4.2 Bats: Table 13: Page 45: Coupled to change #3, we removed California
Myotis (Myotis californicus) from this table.
7) Section 4: Special Designation Species: Page 61: Coupled to change #1, we changed the
second paragraph to read: "In the federal listing category, although Chinook Salmon are
found or use the Deschutes River and originate from a listed stock in the White River,
NOAA does not consider the Deschutes River population part of the listed stock (A.
Wilson, pers. comm.). Similarly, the Steelhead population in the Deschutes is not
considered part of listed stock despite the fact that some uncertainty exists regarding the
existence of a native Steelhead run in Percival Creek. Hence, no difference between
options exists for federally listed species (Table 19)." Furthermore, sentences related to
this issue in the subsequent paragraphs in this section were simply removed.
8) Section 4: Special Designation Species: Page 61: Coupled to change #1, changes in the
Federal categorization for Chinook Salmon and Steelhead were modified. These changes
resulted in supporting changes in the PHS column and in the footnotes.

Species Act (ESA) Lead, Fish Program WDFW, Ph: (360) 902-2856."
11) Appendix I: Page 91: Coupled to change #4, the three bat species for which either
anecdotal or infrequent use information exists were added to this appendix with the
supporting reasons.
