Site Shutdown and Restoration 



Shutdown. 



B-125 Should the well be productive, the road and landing should be 

 improved to a permanent status. The well site should be reduced 

 in size before also being made permanent. 



■126M The land contours and surface drainage patterns will be returned 

 to as near the original state as possible following the comple- 

 tion of drilling operations. 



Restoration. 



B-58P In the event all or a portion of the facilities are removed from 

 the refuge as the result of the termination of operations or 

 for other reasons, the permittee shall completely remove all 

 spoil and ring levees, completely backfill or plug all canals 

 and ditches, and provide regular gaps in all levees not removed, 

 as specified by the land manager. 



B-59P Prior to initiating any extensive restoration field work, the 



permittee shall meet with the land manager and provide specifica- 

 tions of the operation including, but not limited to: (1) maps 

 showing features to be restored, points of alterations, and 

 access routes; (2) information concerning sizes, types, and 

 numbers of equipment to be used; and (3) a time schedule. The 

 permittee shall agree to reasonable modifications in order to 

 minimize the disturbance of desirable water flows, wildlife 

 concentrations, or other desirable ecological features. All 

 activities shall be confined to those areas as finalized on the 

 attached maps. 



B-60P As specified by the land manager, restoration procedures may 

 require the construction of nesting platforms, denning sites, 

 or other wildlife habitat improvements to replace natural 

 features lost or altered by permittee activities. 



B-130 All natural bayous are to be swept clean of bottom ruts resulting 

 from equipment crossing the bayou during construction. 



B-61P Following completion of restoration procedures, the land manager 

 may conduct an on-site inspection to verify that restoration or 

 mitigation of any environmental damages has been satisfactorily 

 completed and may, at that time, require additional conservation 

 measures necessary to satisfy permit requirements.
