Thirteen historic properties (5RB1020, 5RB1029, 5RB1160, 5RB1175, 5RB6754, 5RB7286. 5RB7287, 5RB7289, 5RB7291, 5RB7296, 5RB7304, 5RB7305, 5RB7307, and 5MF7622) are required to be avoided by all surface disturbing activities. Paleonotlogical Resources: 26. The holder is responsible for informing all persons who are associated with the project operations that they will be subject to prosecution for disturbing or collecting vertebrate fossils, collecting large amounts of petrified wood (over 25lbs. /day, up to 2501bs. /year), or collecting fossils for commercial purposes on public lands. 27. Any excavations into the underlying native sedimentary stone must be monitored by a permitted paleontologist. The monitoring paleontologist must be present before the start of excavations that may impact bedrock. 28. If any paleontological resources are discovered as a result of operations under this authorization, the operator /holder or any of his agents must stop work immediately at that site, immediately contact the BLM Paleontology Coordinator, and make every effort to protect the site from further impacts, including looting, erosion, or other human or natural damage. Work may not resume at that location until approved by the AO.

Within 10 days, the operator will be allowed to continue construction through the site, or will be given the choice of either (a) following the Paleontology Coordinator's instructions for stabilizing the fossil resource in place and avoiding further disturbance to the fossil resource, or (b) following the Paleontology Coordinator's instructions for mitigating impacts to the fossil resource prior to continuing construction through the project area.

Facilities shall be painted within 6 months of installation and be regularly maintained. 30. All disturbed areas will be contoured to blend with the natural topography. Blending is defined as reducing form, line, shape, and color contrast with the disturbing activity. Hazardous or Solid Wastes: 31.
