Information as to raptor nesting sites or critical deer and elk use areas is not <br /> openly provided to employees or the public except through documents such as this <br /> permit application. <br /> 4.6 .1 .4 Livestock Grazing <br /> Livestock grazing of the mine plan area where the surface is controlled by <br /> Trapper, is and will be managed by agreements with local ranchers. The use level <br /> is established each spring subsequent to consultations with local SCS personnel <br /> as described in Section 4.2.2. This annual evaluation and adjustment of proper <br /> use levels will help insure that adequate forage is left for wildlife use and <br /> that the range is not over used . Management will be for condition and trend. <br /> 4.6 .1 .5 Fires <br /> All fires will be controlled and suppressed as quickly as is possible. Each mine <br /> vehicle has a fire extinguisher mounted on it and personnel are trained in the <br /> proper use of extinguishers and fire fighting strategy. If needed, the Craig <br /> Volunteer Fire Department can be called to assist in a matter of minutes. On <br /> occasion, however, Trapper Mine may employ the use of fire as a controlled burn <br /> for range management. <br /> 4.6 .1 .6 Pesticides and Herbicides <br /> Pesticide and herbicide use is strictly controlled on the lands within the pro- <br /> posed permit area. Section 3.6.2.6 discusses formulation, application rates and <br /> period of application for these herbicides. Use of herbicides for range improve- <br /> ment programs may be considered and tried under a controlled study situation. <br /> Proper handling and use of herbicides prevent possible injury to livestock and <br /> wildlife .
