Oil and gas exploration and extraction are 

 potential impacts occurring along the Rocky 

 Mountain Front in Lewis & Clark County and 

 northward. The following populations, located in 

 the southern Scapegoat region, are within areas 

 possibly subject to these activities: 



Alice Creek (002) 

 Rogers Pass West (00^) 

 Telephone Gulch (005) 

 Rogers Pass East (022) 

 Red Mountain (023) 



2. ROAD MAINTENANCE/CONSTRUCTION: The following 

 populations occur adjacent to roads, and in some 

 cases plants have colonized the disturbed 

 roadbanks from nearby native habitat. These sites 

 could be impacted by further road maintenance or 

 construction in the future. 



Alice Creek (002) 



Pike Creek (003) 



Rogers Pass West (00^) 



Barking Dog (006) 



Nelson (007) - one subpopulation 



Refrigerator Canyon (008) 



Burnt Gulch (009) 



Prices Gulch (012) - predominantly on roadside 



Butler Hill (019) 



Newlan Creek Reservoir (021) 



3. GRAZING: In general, L. klausii is not highly 

 vulnerable to livestock grazing, owing to its 

 adaptation to steep, unstable, sparsely vegetated 

 slopes where grazing use is low. At the following 

 three sites, evidence of livestock grazing was 

 found: 



Alice Creek (002) 

 Butler Hill (019) 

 Red Mountain (023) 



While the moderate use that these areas have 

 received did not appear to have seriously impacted 

 the populations, it is possible that heavy grazing
