4 <br />1) whether the materials appear eligible for the National Register of Historic Places; <br />2) the mitigation measure(s) the operator will likely have to undertake before the site can be used (assuming in <br />situ preservation is not necessary) see attached FONSI; and, <br />3) a time frame for the Field Manager to complete an expedited review under 36 CFR 800.11 to.confum, through the <br />State Historic Preservation Officer, that the findings of the Field Manager.are correct and that mitigation is appropriate. <br />(b) If the operator-wishes, at anytime, to relocate activities to avoid the expense of mitigation and/or the delays <br />associated with this process, the Field Manager will assume responsibility for whatever recordation and stabilization of <br />the exposed materials may be required. Otherwise, in those situations where the Field Manager determines that <br />mitigation, data recovery and/or salvage excavations are necessary, the operator will bear the cost. The Field Manager <br />will provide technical and procedural guidelines for the conduct of mitigation. Upon verification from the Field <br />Manager that the required mitigation has been-completed, the operator will then be allowed to resume construction. <br />(6) Notification' Contact the BLM at least 48 hours prior to commencing construction of access roads and drill sites. <br />(d) Deer and Elk Winter Range -see attached Finding Of No Significant Impact (TONS]). <br />(e) Nesting Birds - see attached FONSI. <br />(f) Raptor nests - see attached FONSI. <br />(g) Surface disturbance -The maximum disturbed width for road construction and reclamatioa shall not exceed 20', except <br />where slightly wider disturbance may be necessary for sharp corners, pullouts, and staging areas. The max mum surface <br />disturbance for drill pads shall not exceed 100'x 100'. Soil and vegetative disturbance shallbe held to the minimum <br />necessary for conducting drilling operations. <br />(h) Tree removal - New drill sites and access roads shall be cleared of trees prior'to any construction. Stumps shall be <br />scattered or buried. Any stump left in place shall be cut to that the stump height does not exceed 6 inches. The material <br />may be removed from the area or scattered near the site. It; left on site, all slash shall be scattered such that the material. <br />is within 24 inches of the ground at all points. A wood permit from BLM for. 10 cords of pinyon/juniper shall be <br />required prior to any clearing. <br />(i) Soil stripping - Topsoil and vegetation (excluding trees) shall be stripped'together to at least a depth of 6 to 8 inches <br />from drill sites and segregated for spreading over the site during reclamation and seeding. No topsoil stripping will be . <br />allowed when soils are moisture saturated to a depth of 3 inches, qr frozen Below the stripping depth.. <br />0) Containment pits - All drill fluids shall be contained in a tank or dug pit. The cuttings pits shall be dry or with little <br />standing water prior to backfilling. <br />(k) Weed control -.see attached FONSL <br />(1) Hazardous wastes - Care should be taken to prevent spilling of fuel, hydraulic fluid, or oil, and any contaminated soil. <br />should be treated or disposed of properly or re-mediated.onsite. Fueling and maintenance activities shall not take place <br />in or adjacent to any drainages (perennial or ephemeral.). All , product eontaineis (oil and hydraulic fluid cans, etc.) shall <br />be removed from the site and disposed of properly. <br />(m) Hole plugging seer Special Stipulations. <br />(n) Monitoring.weM Separate approval is requiredfor any proposal to convert any. drill holes into water monitoring
