• raptor survey is performed in planned well field (see Section 6.2.3). WRN is responsible for <br /> offsetting mule deer habitat losses associated with the project WRN and the BLM, in <br />coordination with the Colorado Division of Wildlife, will appraise habitat losses, determine <br />habitat enhancement needs, and formulate methodology and implementation. <br />To date, WRN has re-seeded all disturbed areas as soon as possible each year. Heavy deer, <br />small mammal, and rodent use have been noted on re-seeded areas. A forty-acre bum in <br />sagebrush and greasewood was seeded in the spring of 1999. In 2001 seeded species survival <br />was poor with light grazing noted in 2001. <br />In 2000, three species (whiplash, streambank, Geyer's) of willows were transplanted along <br />• Stake Springs Draw approximately four miles from the intersection with Yellow Creek. <br />Approximately 60% of the transplants survived. The State DOW land was fenced to prevent <br />cattle grazing, but the first year within one month of planting, approximately 10% of the willows <br />were damaged by cattle grazing. In 2001, five hundred coyote willows were planted in the <br />Stake Springs area in May of 2001. The area was impacted heavily by elk, however three <br />hundred forty two new plants survived. <br />• 96 <br />
