~i <br />A <br />n Criteria <br />a Tooic ~ DesiQn Criteria for the Proposed Action ~ _ a <br />Remote monitoring of the development sites and USFWS <br />facilities may be required to reduce snow compaction. language <br />A reclamation plan (e.g. road reclamation and vegetation <br />rehabilitation) for sites and facilities that promotes the <br />restoration of lynx habitat maybe required. <br />Public motorized use on new roads constructed for <br />project-specific purposes will be restricted. <br />Access roads will be designed to provide for effective <br />closures and will be reclaimed or decommissioned at <br />project completion if they are no longer needed for other <br />management objectives. <br />New permanent roads will not be built on ridge tops or in <br />saddles, or in areas identified as important for lynx <br />habitat connectivity. New roads will be situated away <br />from forested stringers. <br />76. For surface use occurring in lynx habitat, the Lessee will Dry Fork <br />be required to submit an annual report to the USDA-FS Federal Coal <br />and USFWS of all activities having occurred in lynx Lease (COC- <br />habitat. 67232) <br />77. If there is reason to believe that Sensitive, Threatened or Dry Fork <br />Endangered species of plants or animals, or migratory Federal Coal <br />bird species of high Federal interest are present, or Lease (COC- <br />become present in the lease area, the Lessee/Operator 67232) <br />shall be required to conduct an intensive field inventory <br />of the area to be disturbed and/or impacted. The inventory <br />shall be conducted by a qualified specialist, and a report <br />of fmdings prepared. A plan will be made that <br />recommends protection for these species or action <br />necessary to mitigate the disturbance. The cost of <br />conducting such inventory, preparing reports and carrying <br />out mitigation measures shall be borne by the <br />Lessee/Operator. <br />78. In order to protect big game wintering areas, elk calving Dry Fork <br />areas, and other key wildlife habitat and/or activities, Federal Coal <br />specific surface use may be curtailed during specific Lease (COC- <br />times of year. Specific time restrictions for specific 67232) <br />species will be evaluated by the Forest Service at the <br />individual project stage, and any additional site specific <br />conditions of use developed at that time. <br />79. In the future, if water to be used for mine related activities Dry Fork <br />is taken from a source that is not considered to be non- Federal Coal <br />tributary waters by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, or Lease (COC- <br />which exceeds a depletion amoun t previously consulted 67232) <br />upon, the permitting agency must enter into consultation <br />with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to determine <br />34 <br />
