Other wildlife issues: <br />Prairie dogs <br />The presence of prairie dogs has become an issue since the reintroduction ofblack-footed ferrets <br />in the general area. The locations of the drill sites are not within the Wolf Creek Management <br />Area, thus limited emphasis is placed on this species. <br />The proposed drilling program will not impact prairie dog towns. Black-footed ferrets are <br />exclusively dependent on prairie dogs. Therefore, this should not be an issue for this proposal. <br />Raptor habitat <br />This proposal does not disturb any trees. Therefore, no nesting sites would be impacted. <br />Due to the proposed timing of disturbance, drilling, and reclamation no impact to nesting or <br />fledging activities would result even if raptors typically used the area. <br />
