“Currently at risk of becoming extinct due to the melting of
the glaciers in Glacier National Park, which it depends on for it's alpine
snow-melt stream habitat--It has been listed as a "candidate species"
for Endangered Species Act in 2011.”
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 12-MonthFinding on a Petition To List the Bearmouth Mountainsnail, Byrne ResortMountainsnail, and Meltwater Lednian Stonefly as Endangered or Threatened
“We find that listing of the meltwater lednian stonefly is
warranted. However, currently listing of the meltwater lednian stonefly is
precluded by higher priority actions to amend the Lists of Endangered and
Threatened Wildlife and Plants. Upon publication of this 12-month petition
finding, we will add the meltwater lednian stonefly to our candidate species
list. We will develop a proposed rule to list the meltwater lednian stonefly as
our priorities allow. We will make any determination on critical habitat during
development of the proposed listing rule. During any interim period, we will
address the status of the candidate taxon through our annual Candidate Notice
of Review (CNOR).”
