Title: Apply facility-free buffers to greater sage-grouse lek.
Text: "To further mitigate potential adverse effects to breeding and nesting greater sage-grouse on the JIDPA [Jonah Infill Drilling Project Area], 0.5-mile facility-free buffers would be applied to greater sage-grouse lek 7 south of the JIDPA for as long as Operators continue to hold the leases for these areas. No features requiring repeated human presence would be built within this area."
