2.0 Raptor Breeding A tivi <br />WRN will conduct anmial raptor breeding activity inventories in pinyon juniper <br />habitats affected by well field development through mine life. If raptor nesting <br />activity is jeopardized by well field development, emergency or remedial <br />mitigation will be implemented as duected by the BLM and U.S. Fish and <br />Wildlife Service. <br />2.1 Scone <br />Raptor surveys will be conducted during April and June of each year. The <br />study area is comprised of that portion of the well field which will be affected <br />by the next two years of mining activity plus a 500-foot buffer around the <br />principal study area. <br />2.2 'e tive <br />Monitoring of raptor (accipiter hawks will be emphasized) breeding activity is to <br />identify raptor breeding area/nests prior to well field development. Therefore, <br />mitigation or modification of drilling activity can be developed prior to <br />disturbance. <br />40 <br />
