This conservation plan identifies current threats to the greater sage-grouse and their habitats in Colorado and suggests management practices for its conservation. Appendix I includes management practices that can, but are not mandated to be, applied to all ownership situations to minimize the impact of oil and gas development on the greater sage-grouse. |
Required vs.
Recommended: |
Recommended BMPS: “In addition to “GrSG Disturbance Guidelines” (Appendix B), and conservation strategies identified in this plan (“Conservation Strategy”, pg. 306), this is a list of suggested management practices that may be applied to oil and gas operations, or other surface-disturbing activities, to aid in protecting GrSG and their habitat. These SMPs are not regulatory, but are options that could be applicable to all ownership situations; they are also not the BLM’s Best Management Practices (BMPs) for public lands, which can be found at http://www.blm.gov/bmp. As new information becomes available, additional management practices will be developed.” Pg. I-2 |
| Ownership: |
BMPS apply to all ownership (private, federal, or state): “These SMPs are not regulatory, but are options that could be applicable to all ownership situations;” Pg. I-2 |
