spruce-fir in the immediate area.In oak/mountain shrub habitat an average of only 0.03 per mile
were encountered. This is the habitat type where nearly all development associated with the E-
Seam area will occur.
Chances of impacting marten from the proposed development activity are negligible due to their
being found most commonly in S/F/A along Deep Creek where there will be very little
disturbance.
