1 HACCP Step Activity Description Facility: Saratoga NFH Project Coordinator: Lee Bender Site Manager: Lee Bender Address: P.O. BOX Saratoga, WY 8 Phone: 07-- Activity Description Site: Wyoming Toad/Isolation building Activity: Wyoming Toad Refugia/breading facility e.g. Stream Restoration, Fire Management, Aquatic Survey/Monitoring, Refuge Farming, Fish Production, T & E Recovery/Listing Survey Project Description i.e. Who; What; Where; When; How; Why Wyoming Toad population experienced rapid declines in the mid 970's. Only one healthy population was located in 987. Possible reasons for the decline in Wyoming Toad populations may be herbicide and pesticide use, fungus, and habitat loss. The goal of this program is to downlist the Wyoming Toad by establishing five new secure populations of approximately 00 to 0 adults within the Laramie Basin by implementation of the Wyoming Toad Recovery Plan. Saratoga NFH provides a genetic refugia for the Wyoming Toad. Broodstock husbandry, breeding and release of offspring in native range. Saratoga National Fish Hatchery provides refugia to one of the largest populations of Wyoming toads in existence. Due to the efforts of the Hatchery's refugia and breeding 9 Wyoming Toad and 8 young of the year toadlets were reintroduced in the Laramie Plains of Wyoming. Partnerships continue to play an important role in the development of the Wyoming Toad Recovery Plan. Saratoga National Fish Hatchery works cooperatively with other Service offices. In FY 00 0 of pair bred producing 8 eggs with 70 hatching. For an overall hatch rate of %. Transferred 7 Yearling toads to Detroit Zoo for refugia, breeding and genetic diversity.

Wyoming Toads are bred. Tadpoles and Juvenile Wyoming Toads released back into historic range. Adult and Juvenile Wyoming toads are maintained at facility as a captive brood stock. Toads released into historic range.

Discharge water passes through screens to prevent escape, during cleaning siphoned water poured out on grass, testing of toads hold in isolation until the test results are in What How Frequency Who Evaluation & Corrective Action(s) (if needed) Tadpoles and toads Visual inspection - XDaily staff Visually inspect all tanks to make sure all toads are present and accounted for daily, record morts. If toads missing record loss and check screens, grass tanks for any morts so all toads are accounted for. Activity: Wyoming Toad Rearing Supporting Documentation (if any) Individual toad markings are kept and are also pit tagged so they are easily recognized Signature: Date: HACCP Plan was followed.
