Title: No surface-disturbance activities will be allowed that alter the prairie dog complex.
Text: "Lease Notices: 5. Prairie dog complexes are being evaluated to determine their habitat suitability for potential reintroduction of the federally endangered black-footed ferret. No surface-disturbance activities will be allowed that may significantly alter the prairie dog complex making it unsuitable for reintroduction of the federally endangered black-footed ferret. Search guidelines developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to determine the presence of the black-footed ferret will continue to be required under Section 7 Consultation requirements.[Stip. Code: LS-13]. In areas where recovery actions for the black-footed ferret are likely to occur, the [Guidelines for Oil and Gas Activities in Prairie Dog Ecosystems Managed for Black-footed Ferret Recovery, February 1990] will be used to assist in coordinating recovery efforts where petroleum development is proposed or currently exist.
