Many species of neotropical birds were observed during breeding bird surveys. Habitat for these <br />species is not limited in the project area. The minor amount of habitat to be disturbed will not <br />affected the viability of any of these species. <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />Other species of wildlife observed are common in the area. The large expanses of suitable habitat <br />in comparison to the small amounts of habitat that will be disturbed by the proposed operations <br />means that the viability of these species within the project area will not be affected. <br />Habitat disturbance in Aspen stands need to be kept to a minimum to protect snags that could <br />potentially be used by cavity nesting birds. <br />Sediment control measures should be utilized to minimize the risk of impacting streams in the <br />project area and ultimately major downstream drainages where listed species are found. <br />Herbicide treatment of disturbed areas should occur annually to prevent the establishment and <br />spread of noxious weeds. <br />14
