| Title: |
Development may proceed if it has already been leased and continues at the discretion of lease holder and BLM |
| Text: |
Mitigating development impacts: "In areas that have already been leased, including suitable and occupied habitat, development may proceed at the discretion of the lease holder, in consultation with BLM. In sensitive habitat
areas or where existing LPC populations may be affected, the group recommends that lease
holders consider various "least impact" options, including choosing to forego development until
a later date and/or use of directional drilling to avoid surface disturbance. Suitable habitat so
maintained will be reflected in the area calculation that determines when additional areas may be
opened to leasing, as described in Conservation Strategy 2.1. It is acknowledged, however, that
these options may not be preferred by industry and that new development in suitable and occupied habitat will sometimes occur." |
