| Title: |
Create a 200m avoidance buffer zone where plants of concern are found |
| Text: |
Project Planning Phase: "7. Where plants of concern (Table 1) occur in a project area, an avoidance buffer of 200 meters minimum is recommended. The 200 meter buffer reduces dust transport, weed invasion, unauthorized vehicular activities, and chemical and produced-water spills. It also reduces impact to pollinators and their habitat." [see Table 1] |
