| Title: |
Construction should take place down slope of plants of concern |
| Text: |
Project Planning Phase: "13... Some examples of appropriate and creative project planning include: Construction should take place down slope of plants of concern where feasible. Down slope ground disturbing activities should be conducted in such a way as to avoid as much as is reasonably possible undercutting and sloughing of the slopes where rare plant habitat occurs. If well pads and roads must be sited upslope, buffers of 200 meters minimum between surface disturbances and plants of concern should be incorporated." |
