direct effects of pipeline and facilities construction, indirect changes from 

 food source alteration, and secondary impacts from reduced available habitat 

 and increased sport hunting. 



BLM (1, Vol. 2, p. 331) presents the following possible impacts for terres- 

 trial fauna: 



Direct impacts resulting from construction as a result of the 

 proposed sale would be the greatest on the small mammals, reptiles, 

 and amphibians of the area (distributions appear in Section 11 . F . 2 . c ) 

 at construction sites. The extent of the impacts would ultimately 

 depend on habitat recovery but should be limited in magnitude and 

 of short duration. Only those individual animals having home 

 ranges within or overlapping the actual zone of construction could 

 be either destroyed or displaced. The impact would depend on the 

 place, the habitat, and the season of the year.
