Consult with the Contracting Officers Representative for potential future connections, expansion areas, and problem areas (ref Tasks B and C). A records review must be completed prior to beginning field work.

5.3. Pedestrian Field Survey. The Paleontological Survey will cover all suitable habitat present within the project area. Survey areas may not be contiguous. The BLM is requiring that habitat be surveyed using pedestrian surveys throughout the project area(s) to document occurrences of paleontological Paleontology Resources.

5.3.2. Data Requirements. All phase transitions of the projects critical path shall be coordinated with the COR. Any large areas determined to not be suitable habitat, including areas of surface disturbance where the habitat has been altered to a degree that the sites potential to support special status plant species is modified, and are ultimately not surveyed as a result must be mapped and documented as such in the final report.

Areas of disturbance may include but are not limited to sediment catchments, water developments, off road vehicle activity, previous mechanical disturbance, fire scars, cattle trampling or trailing, or erosion.
