tdr. Gerald Magnuson <br />1~ April 15, 1981 <br />;;~~•. Page 3. <br />~~ <br />lessee indicates figures different from those used <br />in the EIS as to quality and quantity of habitat <br />lost or disturbed, mitigation alternatives shall be <br />recalculated based upon revised data contained in <br />the mine plan. <br />The final habitat recovery and replacement plan <br />shall indicate the methods to be employed by the <br />lessee which will insure that the carrying capacity <br />of the recovered or replaced land has the capacity <br />to support applicable indicator species as agreed <br />upon by the BLM and the Colorado Division of <br />Wildlife. <br />Mitigation methods may require the lessee to employ <br />techniques for wildlife range manipulation or <br />intensive wildlife range management. Habitat <br />recovery may not be completely feasible in the <br />permit area; therefore, recovery or replacement may <br />be accomplished on lands made available through the <br />surface management agency, the state or the lessee <br />outside the permit area in combination with recovery <br />and replacement methods on suitable lands within the <br />permit area. <br />The habitat recovery and replacement plan shall <br />include the following: <br />(1) A habitat analysis of the permit area which: <br />(i) identifies the above species which occupy <br />the permit area, and <br />(ii) includes an analysis of the quality <br />carrying capacity of the habitat for <br />those species. <br />(2) A detailed description of the methods selected <br />by the lessee to mitigate habitat loss, together <br />with a comparative analysis of alternate methods <br />which wer@ considered and rejected by the lessee and <br />the rationale for the decision to select the <br />proposed methods. <br />The methods utilized by the lessee for recovery and <br />replacement may include, but are not limited to the <br />following techniques: <br />
