<br />• Threatened, Endangered, Sensitive and Management Indicator Species <br />During habitat and wildlife surveys no Threatened, Endangered, Sensitive or <br />Management Indicator species were observed. As noted previously in this <br />report, there is potential lynx denning habitat a few hundred yards from this <br />site, but none of that habitat would be disturbed by activities associated with <br />drilling operations. <br />Raptors <br />There is suitable raptor nesting habitat (especially for accipiters) within a 1/4 <br />mile radius of the site. No raptor nests were located during the surveys. The <br />drill site and access road corridor are located in an open stand of aspen that <br />lacks conditions suitable for raptor nesting. Development would not affect <br />other areas where suitable nesting conditions exist. <br />Bird Survey <br />Both the diversity and density of birds were what would be expected for the <br />habitat types found around the drill site. All species observed are known to <br />9 <br />Site EEE. Picture facing east. <br />
