[8] This area is located in Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, in southern Alberta, is in close proximity to the Oldman River, and has the same ecosystem present to support the life of the species' specific needs.

[11] This area is distinguished by low vegetation, and a cliff that drops off below the normal landscape of smooth hills, which are prone to high winds, mosses, and algae.

Since the predaceous diving beetle is limited to springs and seepage areas, the main problem with the lack of recovery for Sanfilippodytes bertae is habitat loss.

[15] In addition, cattle's trampling and defecating, and ranch vehicles would damage the outlets of springs and seepages which would create muddier conditions, destroying the habitat.
