lessee /operator will work with CPW to capture and grow out fish populations from appropriate breeding stock. The lessee /operator will establish a minimum of two subsidence monitoring gridlines across the stream channel in areas of anticipated vertical displacement that will be surveyed prior to and following longwall mining beneath the area. These survey data will be used to confirm/refine the subsidence predictions for the area. The results of these surveys, as available, will be included in the previously mentioned annual Monitoring Report and distributed accordingly. Bald and Golden Eagle Nest Sites • No new permanent surface facilities or disturbance except subsidence would be located within a one - quarter mile radius buffer zone around each bald or golden eagle nest site. • No surface activities would be allowed within a one -half mile radius buffer zone around each active eagle nest site from November 15 to July 30 for bald eagles and February 1 to July 15 for golden eagles. Any proposed surface facilities, disturbance, or activities (as noted above) in or adjacent to these buffer zones would require approval from the surface management agency on a site - specific basis, after consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Bald and Golden Eagle Roost Sites • No surface activity, except subsidence, would occur within a one - quarter mile radius of winter roosts between November 15 and March 15. Development may be permitted at other periods. If periodic visits are required within the buffer zone after development, activity would be restricted to the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. from November 15 through March 15. Peregrine Falcon Nest • No new permanent surface facilities or disturbance would be located within a one - quarter mile radius buffer zone around each peregrine falcon nest site. • No aboveground activities would be allowed within a one -half mile radius buffer zone around each active peregrine falcon nest site from February 1 to July 15. • Any proposed surface facilities, disturbance, or activities in, or adjacent to, these buffer zones would require approval from the USFS or BLM on a site - specific basis, after consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Migratory Birds • For any future proposed disturbances on the lease, a qualified biologist would conduct pre - construction breeding bird and raptor surveys during the breeding period within 0.5 mile of the general disturbance area (drill pads and access roads) if activities would occur during the breeding season (generally May 15 to August 1, but varies by species). Surveys would document active nests and aspen snag reconnaissance prior to surface disturbance. If no active nests are found and a survey report is submitted to and approved by the USFS or BLM Biologist, activities may begin within the cleared areas. If active C -5
