Bureau Of Land Management Instruction Memorandum IM Aug Stakeholder Coordination 2. Identify Sites with Important Bat Resources 3. Emphasize Ongoing Inventory Efforts 4. Site Administrative and Physical Closure 5. Identification of Potential WNS Surveillance Locations 6. Containment and Decontamination 7. Research 8. Outreach

National Park Service 1.Update Management Plans to address WNS – If no plan, then develop Interim Guidance 2.May restrict access to caves/mines to those who hold appropriate permits 3.Screening not feasible, cave closures recommended 4.Evaluate reasons for entering bat areas 5.Encourage decontamination 6.Closing caves - Inform Kevin Castle, BRMD – He will inform other agencies 7.More info on NPS policies & guidance

US Fish & Wildlife Service Close ALL Caves and Mines. Implement Research and Monitoring Protocols in a Nationwide Effort to Slow the Spread of White-Nose- Syndrome (WNS) in bats.

US Forest Service (Interim Response Plan) 1. Launch Awareness Campaigns 2. ID & Prioritize Bat Caves / Mines & Monitor 3. Apply Decontamination Procedures 4. Evaluate Effectiveness of Closures First Exempt: SAR – WNS Research/Monitoring – Unaffected Use 5. Develop Regional WNS Plans Tiered to National Interagency Response Plan

Decontamination & Containment  Submersion in Hot Water: Effective at sustained temperatures ≥50ºC (122ºF) for 20 minutes.  Secondary for non-submersible treatment options (for a minimum of 10 min.) include:  6% Bleach  Lysol IC Quaternary Disinfectant  Lysol Antibacterial All-purpose Cleaner  Formula 409 Antibacterial Cleaner  Lysol Disinfecting Wipes
