<br />R2-FS-2820-13 (92) <br />report is to be submitted to the FS for review and approval at the time a <br />surface disturbing plan of operation is submitted. <br />3. Implement mitigation measures required by the FS and BIM to preserve or <br />avoid destruction of cultural resource values. Mitigation may include <br />relocation of proposed facilities, testing, salvage, and recordation or <br />other protective measures. A11 costs of the inventory and mitigation will <br />be borne by the lessee or operator, and all data and materials salvaged <br />will remain under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Government as appropriate. <br />The lessee or operator shall immediately bring to the attention of the FS and <br />BLM any cultural or paleontological resources or any other objects of <br />scientific interest discovered as a result of surface operations under this <br />lease, and shall leave such discoveries intact until directed to proceed by FS <br />and BLM. <br />ENDANGERED OR THREATENED SPECIES - The FS is responsible for assuring that the <br />leased land is examined prior to undertaking any surface-disturbing activities <br />to determine effects upon any plant or animal species listed or proposed for <br />listing as endangered or threatened, or their habitats. The findings of this <br />examination may result in some restrictions 'to the operator's plans or even <br />disallow use and occupancy that would be in violation of the Endangered Species <br />Act of 1973 by detrimentally affecting endangered or threatened species or <br />their habitats. <br />The lessee/operator may, unless notified by the FS that the examination is not <br />necessary, conduct the examination on the leased lands at his discretion and <br />cost. This examination must be done by or under the supervision of a qualified <br />resource specialist approved by the FS. An acceptable report must be provided <br />to the FS identifying the anticipated effects of a proposed action on <br />endangered or threatened species or their habitats. <br />2 <br />
