<br />and in the parl<ing lots approved for construction <br /> <br />in 197~ (Figure 3. page 42). Public access to all <br /> <br />other parts of the wnA will be by foot only. This <br /> <br />restriction is to decrease the continual disturbance <br /> <br />that resting and feeding "sterfo"l are ClOW receiving <br /> <br />from unrestrictecl vehicle use and to improve the <br /> <br />ouality of hunting and fishing. <br /> <br />e.) Allow no open fires to prevent destruction of cover <br /> <br />by "ildfire. <br /> <br />The follo"ing actions "ill also be undertaken if and "hen <br /> <br />they become necessary for the reasons indicated: <br /> <br />f.) Extend the spring closure to July 1.5 each year. This <br /> <br />"ill probably be necessary because a significant duck <br /> <br />) <br /> <br />hatch occurs bet"een July 1. and July 15 each year, <br /> <br />and it is anticipated that the growing popularity <br /> <br />of the area for fishing will cause avoidable dis- <br /> <br />turbance and abandonment of nests if the area is <br /> <br />opened on July 1. This situation "ill be observed <br /> <br />during the next nesting season and the closure "ill <br /> <br />be extended if necessary. <br /> <br />g.) Close a portion of the area (25 to 30%) to all public <br /> <br />use each year on a rotating basis to protect resting <br /> <br />and feeding "aterfo"l from human disturbance. This <br /> <br />may become necessary in the future if "alk-in access <br /> <br />does not adeouately protect the birds from the con- <br /> <br />tinual disturbance they are no" receiving. <br /> <br />) <br /> <br />-51- <br /> <br />r r' ,-) "'" - '1 <br />'" <</J < <br />\, "-'..
