4.55, 5.45 - 5.60, 9.30 - 9.65, and 10.4 - 10.55 on Fish Creek Road and from 

 mile 2.35-2.6 on Wig Creek Road. 



• For log trucks hauling of DNRC timber sales: (1) Restrict speed limits for log 

 trucks to mile 30 mph on the main Fish Creek Road from mile 2.9 mile to 

 15.6. (2) Restrict speed limits for log trucks to 20 mph on Fish Creek Road 

 from mile 2.4 to mile 2.9. (3) Restrict speed limits for log trucks to 5 mph 

 past the residence on Wig Creek at mile 2.4 to 2.5. 



Recreational Site Use 



• Restrict contractor use of Fishing Access Sites (FASs) in conjunction with this 

 project. Allow contractors to contact Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks to seek 

 permission to utilize FASs. 



2.6.3 Wildlife Mitigations 



Threatened and Endangered Species 



• If any threatened or endangered species are encountered during the project 

 planning or implementation periods cease all project-related activities that 

 would potentially affect that species and inform a DNRC biologist 

 immediately. Design and implement additional habitat protection measures 

 where appropriate. 



• If active den sites or nest sites of threatened, endangered, sensitive species, or 

 raptors were located within the Project Area, cease activities until a DNRC 

 biologist can review the site and develop species appropriate protective 

 measures. 



• Cease all operations if a threatened or endangered species is encountered, all 

 operations and consult a DNRC biologist, and develop additional mitigations 

 that are consistent with the administrative rules for managing Threatened and 

 Endangered Species (ARM 36.11.428 through 36.11.435). 



• Cease all operations if nesting raptors are encountered, and consult a DNRC 

 Biologist to develop additional mitigation measures to ensure the security of 

 the nest site and specific animals, consistent with the Migratory Bird Treaty 

 Act. 



Grizzly Bears 



• Implement sanitation restrictions during the non-denning period (April 15 - 

 November 15) for operations related to the proposed action if grizzly bear 

 activity is documented in the analysis area, 



• Close roads within section 12 through road closure devices (i.e., locked gates, 

 tank traps, coarse woody debris).
