One deer was reported as struck <br />and killed, and two deer collisions resulted in the deer running away. <br />6.5 Raptor Survey <br />In 2011 NSI conducted raptor breeding activity inventories in pinion - juniper habitat <br />planned for well field development in 2011 and 2012. A report was written and <br />submitted to the BLM immediately following completion of the survey. If raptor nesting <br />activity was found, emergency or remedial mitigation would be implemented as directed <br />by the BLM and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The intent of the study is to identify <br />raptor (accipiter hawks will be emphasized) breeding areas /nests prior to well field <br />development. As a result of the inventories, mitigation or modification of drilling activity <br />can be developed prior to disturbance. <br />6.6 Other Observations <br />No wild horses were spotted within the well field Elk, deer, coyotes and fox were noted <br />in and around the well -field throughout the year. <br />6.7 Waste Disposal <br />Common domestic solid waste was collected in containers and periodically transported to <br />the Rio Blanco County landfill. Sewage from the plant was directed to a septic system with <br />drain field.
