This project will <br />' temporarily displace wildlife from the areas directly affected. The <br />extent of the permanent impact will depend on the success of reclamation. <br />The grassland habitat is generally less critical than the shrub stands <br />surrounding it. <br />e Reclamatim reo®adations (include tey epecies/habitate for sduch restoratim is <br />~igned). <br />Because of the large area proposed for mining, we suggest that reclama- <br />' tion take place as the project progresses, thereby limiting the distur- <br />bance area to the smallest ?ossible acreage. Reclamation/reseedinq activi- <br />ties should be monitored to determine success. <br />' Reseed_ng with a mixture of native grasses is recommended. Snowberry <br />stands should be re-established. Control of undesirable species (espec- <br />ially knapweed) in the reclamation area should be accomplished. Disturbance <br />of shrubs on the side slopes should be minimized. <br />~_' <br />~~ - Date: ~ - ( ~ F~1 <br />tted Date: 3 - Zo-8 5 <br />s statement i not processed within 1 year. <br />is analysis does not constitute approval of applicxtim.
