6. Evaluate existing animal migrations in the area. For example, <br /> annual migrations of blue grouse and white-tailed ptarmigan will <br /> be disrupted by mining activities. Home ranges of pine marten, <br /> weasels , fox and coyote will be altered. All of these effects <br /> may be reversible. <br /> 7. Proposed planting rates of 50 to 100 plants per acre while <br /> adequate for a few species of plants are completely unrealistic <br /> for most native species. Existing stocking rates should be <br /> measured and efforts should be made to equal them in revegetation. <br /> This should increase the esthetics of the situation and reduce <br /> fugitive dust and wind erosion. <br /> 8. Consider the use of snow fences to increase moisture retention <br /> in areas exposed to the wind. <br /> 9. Create irregular topography instead of level areas through use <br /> of mounding of soil , placement of boulders, etc. <br /> 10. Use clumps of native shrubs and grasses to revegetate areas. <br /> For example clumps of vegetation from the Mayflower tailings <br /> area could be moved to areas in the Tenmile and Robinson tailings <br /> area to help revegetate the areas and create natural communities. <br />
