C~ <br />Powerline perches for raptors have been installed on 3 poles at the <br />Rienau No. 2 Mine and on 8 poles at the Northern No. 1 Mine (see <br />Exhibit •'C-2~) The azeas already modified and azeas to be modified <br />for elk habitat are shown on Exhibit a3. The areas consist of <br />reclaimed drill sites and roads originally constructed in mountain <br />shrub habitat in 1979 and 1980. The areas already modified for elk <br />habitat include 27 drill sites and 10,400 feet of exploration road <br />comprising 9 acres. The azea to be reclaimed in 1981 for elk <br />habitat includes 6 drill sites and 2400 feet of exploration roads <br />comprising 2 acres. (See also response to 784.21(b)(3).) <br />Since no roadkills of mule deer or elk have been reported by <br />Northern Coal personnel since May 1980, Northern feels it is ahead <br />of schedule for mitigating impacts caused to big game by its <br />operations (see special stipulation No. 12 of CMLR Permit <br />' • No. 78-345). <br /> <br />(~5 = _ - <br />
