Both of these commitments were described <br />in the Draft Report of the Colorado Revised Fish nnd Wildlife Coordi- <br />nation Act Report dated December 7, 1981. <br /> <br />All vegetative sites for the long-term monitoring program in all stages <br />should be carefully selected to avoid outside cl,anges such as removal <br />of livestock or construction impacts.
