Wildlife Resources <br />• Project activities would be conducted in compliance with applicable requirements of <br />the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. <br />• Project personnel would be subject to the following requirements: no harassing or <br />shooting of wildlife or wild horses; no dogs may be brought to the project area; no <br />firearms permitted; and no littering. <br />Livestock Grazing <br />All gates within the project area would be left as they are found (i.e., open gates <br />would be left open, closed gates would be closed). <br />Damage to existing fences and other range improvements as a result of the project <br />would be immediately repaired per approved BLM specifications. <br />If a fence crossing is required for a location absent a gate, the fence would be cut <br />and H-braces would be installed to support the existing fence and, if livestock are <br />present, a temporary gate would be installed to prevent livestock or wild horse <br />movement from appropriate pastures. Upon termination of exploration activities, the <br />temporary opening or gate would be permanently rewired and stretched to their <br />original tension. <br />• Removal or alteration of existing range improvements would be prohibited unless <br />prior approval from the BLM is obtained. <br />• Personnel would be instructed to minimize contact and avoid harassment of <br />livestock. <br />• Any facilities impacted by the proposed project would be repaired or replaced as <br />soon as practical before the end of the project. <br />Cultural Resources <br />• The third-party archeologist would conduct a Class III survey for cultural resources <br />of all areas to be disturbed by project activities including travel routes, drill sites, and <br />staging areas. All cultural sites identified in the Class III cultural resources field <br />survey would be flagged for avoidance. The archeologist would also be responsible <br />for assisting with protection, identification, and assessment of any cultural resources <br />discovered during the operations. <br />• If subsurface cultural resources were found during project operations, all work in the <br />immediate vicinity of the resource would cease and Homeland Uranium, Inc. would <br />notify the BLM immediately. Homeland Uranium, Inc. would implement those <br />measures requested by the BLM to protect the resource until it could be adequately <br />evaluated by a permitted archaeologist, if necessary. Further work at the <br />archaeological site would be discontinued. <br />• If human remains were encountered during project operations, all work in the vicinity <br />of the remains would cease and the remains would be protected from further <br />exposure or damage. Homeland Uranium, Inc. would notify the BLM immediately.
