The operator will be responsible for monitoring for and treating weeds that establish in the project area. 20. The BME shall notify BLM biologists prior to construction or drilling activities at wells 5, 6 and A 1— 4 to determine if construction/drilling timeframes may potentially influence nesting activities. A raptor survey will be required if activities (construction, drilling etc.) are scheduled to take place during the ferruginous hawk nesting season (generally February 1— August 15). Should an active nest be located, appropriate timing stipulations would be applied. 21. Pad construction (vegetation clearing) will take place outside'the migratory bird breeding period of May 15 — July 15 to avoid unnecessary disturbance to nesting birds. 22.

The operator is responsible for informing all persons who are associated with the project that they will be subject to prosecution for knowingly disturbing archaeological sites or for collecting artifacts. 24. If any archaeological materials are discovered as a result of operations under this authorization, activity in the vicinity of the discovery will cease, and the BLM WRFO Archaeologist will be notified immediately. Work may not resume at that location until approved by the AO. The operator will make every effort to protect the site from further impacts including looting, erosion, or other human or natural damage until BLM determines a treatment approach, and the treatment is completed. Unless previously determined in treatment plans or agreements, BLM will evaluate the cultural resources and, in consultation with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), select the appropriate mitigation option within 48 hours of the discovery. The operator, under guidance of the BLM, will implement the mitigation in a timely manner. The process will be fully documented in reports, site forms, maps, drawings, and photographs. The BLM will forward documentation to the SHPO for review and concurrence. 25. Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.4(8) the holder of this authorization must notify the AO, by telephone, with written confirmation, immediately upon the discovery of human remains, funerary items, sacred objects, or objects of cultural patrimony.
