NEPA Resource Imposed Mitigation |
In order to minimize the potential for the … In order to minimize the potential for the spread of noxious and invasive weeds in the
Project area, all construction vehicles and equipment will be cleaned of all soil and plant
material using high-pressure equipment (compressed air or water) prior to arrival at the
work site. water) prior to arrival at the
work site. +
, Initial ground-disturbing activities would … Initial ground-disturbing activities would not be conducted during the migratory bird
nesting season (March 30 through August 15), unless necessary, and only after a
qualified biologist first inventories for migratory birds and nests. This survey would be
conducted to identify either breeding adult birds or nesting sites within the specific areas
to be disturbed. If active nests are present within these areas to be disturbed, Ram
would coordinate with the BLM or appropriate state officials, as applicable, to develop
appropriate protection measures, which may include avoidance, construction
constraints, and/or the establishment of buffers. ints, and/or the establishment of buffers. +
, Roads to be constructed, improved, or reclaimed as part of the Project would be
reviewed by the BLM and required to conform to the requirements of BLM Manual 9113
and the Gold Book, as applicable to the intended Project use. +
, The access roads and well pads would be re … The access roads and well pads would be recontoured and ripped and then covered with
native topsoil and reseeded when project activities are completed.
Revegetation will follow the Reclamation Plan (Appendix C) and includes site
appropriate seed mixtures. Disturbed areas will be reseeded with a diverse mix of
perennial native or introduced plant species. Noxious, invasive, and non-native seeds
listed in the Nevada Designated Noxious Weed List (Nevada Administrative Code
555.010) or prohibited by the Federal Seed Act (7 CFR Part 201) will be excluded. Seed
mixtures will be subject to the approval of the BLM.
Mineral materials placed upon the playa surface for road or drill pad construction will be
stripped from the playa surface during reclamation and placed in a local area where
similar materials are found, then recontoured and revegetated to blend with the
surroundings. evegetated to blend with the
surroundings. +
, The reserve pit shall maintain a minimum two feet of freeboard at all times. +
, Wellhead equipment left on the drill site … Wellhead equipment left on the drill site following the completion of drilling would be
painted a color, subject to approval by the authorized officer, which would blend with the
landscape. Prior to paint selection, Ram would contact the Tonopah Field Office Project
lead for concurrence.
Given the importance of maintaining dark sky conditions, conscious efforts would be
made to protect the current dark skies from light pollution. All drill rig and facility lights
would be limited to those required to safely conduct the operations, and would be shielded and/or directed in a manner that focuses direct light to the immediate work
area. s direct light to the immediate work
