There would be about 60 of these blocks developed with each block containing about 79 acres of nesting cover, 25 acres of weedy cover, 1 acre of woody cover, 50 acres of food plots and about 5 acres of dusting and display areas. While these areas are designed primarily for upland game use, waterfowl, big game and many species of nongame will also use these types of habitat. Other types of developments that are proposed in the management area include an outer boundary wind break in selected areas, woody travel lanes, food plots in riparian habitat, guzzlers, brush piles and cottonwood and willow plantings. A summary of the costs associated with the terrestrial habitat development is shown below.

The outer boundary windbreak will be planted in selected areas around the periphery of the management area. 3/Agricultural food plots will be irrigated with water rights associated with the mitigation lands; as such no project water will be required. 3 '-
