TNC contract funds for UNLV monitoring plot funding. Pilot drone survey and census planned for Red Bluff population in April 2017. Can identify additional monitoring plots following drone census. FY 2019: Funding obtained to continue drone survey and census and develop rangewide monitoring plan. Draft monitoring plans have been developed for Beehive Dome (BLM) and White Dome (TNC). Shinob Kibe is so small, the entire population will be censused. FY 20: Drone surveys ongoing at Red Bluffs with the plan to complete surveys by fall 2020.
Dwarf Bear-poppy	F	6	Utah Ecological Services Field Office (801) 975-3330	Dwarf Bear-poppy	Arctomecon humilis	1	1212	Actions re: State of Utah land	Partially Complete	Prior to FY 1995	FY 2011	Other	State of Utah, The Nature Conservancy, Bureau Land Management , USFWS Regional Office 6 - Denver, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service - Endangered Species Program	Acquisition: General, Acquisition: Management Agreement, Acquisition: Fee Title	Species Expert, Contract, Internal Technical Assistance, Internal Field Assistance	The acquisition of 800 acres of White Dome was completed in 2010 in partnership with The Nature Conservancy. Additional unprotected habitats and plants remain on SITLA lands surrounding White Dome, Atkinville, Red Bluff and the Price City Hills. The acquisition of approx 10 acres of state lands at Red Bluff for impacts to Warner Ridge pop occurred in 2015 as a part of Southern Corridor consultation. FY15: A new population was identified on State lands in Warner Valley in 2015, located on steep inaccessible slopes above the proposed Warner Valley Reservoir. FY17: The State is considering protections for inaccessible poppy and desert tortoise habitat in the Tonaquint block. FY20: The State may designated poppy habitat (containing approx. 3,000 plants) in the Tonaquint block (Red Bluffs population) as part of the Desert tortoise reserve 6 if the Northern Corridor road project is approved. FY21: The state protected approximately 894 acres of poppy and desert tortoise habitat in the Red Bluffs population of the poppy as part of the Desert Tortoise Reserve Zone 6 in January 2021 as part of the Washington County HCP. We will continue to work with the state to protect more poppy habitat under their management.

Other areas are not fenced and open on designated routes only, but enforcement is difficult and OHV traffic remains a threat at Atkinville, Price City Hills, Red Bluff area (outside of fenced area) Boomer Hill, and Santa Clara Butte. The Red Bluff ACEC sees significant impacts from bicyclists, especially in the lower section on SITLA lands. Fencing is planned to exclude ORVs as part of the desert tortoise proposed zone 6 starting in FY21 if the Northern Corridor road project is approved.

FY16: Warner Ridge north border fenced as part of Southern Corridor consultation. OHV trespass does still occur. FY20: fencing of new perimeter along Long Valley access road is planned. The developer says he can plan for landscaping that effectively blocks ORV access to BLM lands along northern perimeter.

BLM expanded ACEC north boundary to protect poppy suitable habitat and pollinator habitat from proposed land exchange in remaining Warner Valley. The ACEC designation did not prevent impacts to poppy from Southern Corridor because it was designated as a ROW avoidance area rather than a ROW exclusion area. FY20: The Long Valley access road project impacted 6.33 acres of occupied habitat and will compensate for impacts by providing $50,000 to the Washington County HCP fund for the poppy.

FY19: An evaluation of drone imagery will be performed starting in FY20 or 21 to evaluate microtopographic features of occupied habitat and better delineate habitat requirements for the species. A preliminary evaluation of crust characteristics at White Dome and Tonaquint Block state lands at White Dome was performed. FY22: A habitat suitability model is planned once drone survey imagery evaluation is collected and assessed to inform environmental constraints.

Arizona BLM "looks" for plants with federal projects. No sites documented as of 2011. The USGS Colorado Plateau Field Station received a SSP/QRP grant in 2011 to develop a habitat model and find additional populations based on the model outcome. The habitat model will include potential habitat in AZ. USGS (Matt Bowker) and TNC (Elaine York) organized a volunteer day in 2012 to search suitable habitat in AZ. 2017 Update, suitable habitat in AZ were searched by Bowker and volunteers and no occupied poppy habitat was found. Bowker thinks these areas should be considered for introductions in the future as climate change may render them more suitable for the species than currently occupied habitat in Utah.
