BMP ID Short Title Text of BMP
2094 Directional drilling "Where technically and economically feasible, use directional drilling or multiple wells from the same pad."
2090 Dust control "Control dust from roads and other surface disturbances within the population's seasonal habitats."
2097 Fence design "Where necessary to build or maintain fences, evaluate whether increased visibility, alternate location, or different fence design will reduce ...
2091 Mitigation: Off-Site "Consider off-site mitigation as an alternative mitigation for mineral development impacts on known sage-grouse habitat. Work with mineral entities ...
2098 No surface disturbance or occupancy near lek "Avoid surface disturbance or occupancy on or within 1/4 mile of known active lek sites."
2088 Noise reduction requirements "Reduce noise from industrial development or traffic especially in breeding and brood-rearing habitats."
2095 Predator prevention "Where facilities are developed within sage-grouse habitat, minimize potential use by predators."
