Title: BLM may require special actions to protect palenotological resources.
Text: GS-CSU-ROAN-18 SSR/CSU Sharrard Park Paleontological Resources: "... The BLM may require special survey, design, construction, operation, and reclamation measures, or relocation by more than 200 meters in identified portions of Wasatch Formation outcrops in Sharrard Park. Prior to any grounddisturbing activity, the operator must have the paleontological resources surveyed within 200 feet of the proposed disturbance by a BLM approved paleontologist. Other special measures include requirements that (a) on-site personnel are informed of the potential for fossils, (b) the proponent will notify the BLM if any fossils are found, and (c) activities do not disturb fossils in any way."
