Notes: Project action area is within the Canada lynx critical habitat. Closest know occurrences are two townships away from the action area. Lynx presence in the action area is unknown, but they likely occur. Proposed new road will remove ~200 acres of softwood/conifer habitat that may be used by lynx. Project action area is within the Atlantic Salmon Gulf of Maine DPS and designated critical habitat for the Atlantic salmon. Salmon are known to spawn in streams and rivers in the action area. Bridge and culvert replacement may affect Atlantic salmon. This project will be reviewed by the Army Corps of Engineers who will make the final ESA determination.
