Environmental Analyzed Not Present, Unaffected by Proposed Action or No Element (Yes/No) Action Alternative, Or Other Reason Not Addressed Hazardous or Solid Yes See Hazardous/Solid Wastes section. Wastes Livestock Grazing No Unaffected by Proposed Action or No Action Alternative. Management Geologic formations sensitive for fossil resources are present, but will not be impacted by the proposed project. Paleontology No BLM standard"discovery" stipulation is part of the environmental assessment and is to be attached to any authorization allowing project to proceed. Plants: Invasive,Non- An invasive non-native species inventory completed in native Species No 2015 revealed no known or established invasive species (Noxious Weeds) populations within the project area. There are several special status species that are found in the vicinity of the proposed action, although no special status species are known to exist on or near the footprint of the proposed action. The proposed action is located within the Coalmont Formation which is a requirement for the North Plants: Special Status Park Phacelia(Phacelia formosula), but was dropped from Plant Species No further analysis since the Coalmont Formation is found subsurface at the site of the proposed action. The sensitive species Corispermum navicula was removed from further analysis because it is endemic to the North Sand Hills and requires predominantly sandy soils. Sisyrinchium pallidum was also removed since it requires poorly drained, moist soils. Plants: Vegetation Yes See Vegetation section. Realty Authorizations No Not Present. Recreation No Unaffected by Proposed Action or No Action Alternative. Social and/or No Unaffected by Proposed Action or No Action Alternative. Economics Soil Resources Yes See Soils section.
