SECTION 1000. WILDLIFE 



1003. COUNCIL RESPONSE 



In 1986. the Council reviewed wildlife plans for the Hungry Horse and Libby projects in 

 Montana. In doing so. the Council determined that wildlife plans should be considered in 

 section 1400 amendment proceedings before they are added to the program for funding. In 

 light of this action, the Council has deleted former Table 5, Acquisition of Offsite Wildlife 

 Habitat, because it is premature to include land acquisition projects before they are 

 approved and amended into the program. [Source: Council staff]
