• <br />6. Any project-related damage to any roads must be repaired immediately to avoid adverse <br />impacts on adjacent surface resources on the GMUG National Forest. Repairs will be made <br />under agency specifications and terms outlined in the Road Use Permit. <br />7. The Licensee will be responsible for controlling and eradicating noxious weed infestations on <br />the drill sites and access roads from the date of discovery up to the point of release of the <br />reclamation bond and associated reclamation liability. Any herbicides used must be EPA and <br />USFS approved and will be applied at the recommended rates. <br />8. With respect to raptors (except American Kestrel) which may occur or become established <br />on the CEL during the life of the project, the following special condition shall apply: <br />Conduct pre-construction surveys for nesting raptors on the CEL prior to any surface <br />disturbance. No surface activities will be allowed within V2 mile radius of active nest <br />sites between the dates of February 1 and August 15, unless authorized by the Forest <br />Service on a site-specific basis. <br />9. In order to preclude any potential disturbance to nesting purple martins in areas'where <br />exploration activities would affect mature aspen stands, nest site surveys would be performed <br />prior construction to identify purple martin nesting activity. If active nest sites are located, <br />then access road development plans and/or drill hole locations will be modified so that nest <br />0 sites are not adversely affected or development timing be constrained to preclude impacts <br />during the breeding season (May 1 - July 31). <br />10. The Licensee will be held responsible for all damage to fences, cattle guards, resource <br />improvements, roads, and other structures on National Forest System lands which result from <br />their operations. The Forest Service must be notified of damages as soon as possible. <br />11. Gates must be closed after entry unless otherwise specified. <br />12. Operations must be coordinated with other Forest Service-authorized permittees to prevent <br />use conflicts. <br />13. Any exploration drill holes that encounter water and are selected to become long-term <br />ground water monitoring holes will need to be approved by the Forest Service. <br />14. Fire suppression equipment must be available to all personnel working at the project site. <br />Equipment must include at least one hand tool per crew member consisting of shovels and <br />Pulaski's and one properly rated fire extinguisher per vehicle and/or internal combustion <br />engine. <br />15. The Licensee will be held responsible for damage and suppression costs for fires started as a <br />result of operations. Fires must be reported to the Montrose Interagency Fire Dispatch center <br />immediately. <br />0 <br />DOI-BLM-CO-S050-2010- 0017 EA Page A-3 of 10 pages May 2010
