Oreohelix elrodi Occupied habitat should be lake disc protected by a 50-meter Discus brunsoni buffer zone or some other appropriate mitigation. The Grizzly Bear Conservation Strategy shall direct project planning and implementation. The over-snow vehicle use map would be used for consistency for motorized access and road closures in big game winter range habitat. In the Emery Creek winter range and calving areas, motorized access restrictions from December 1 to July 1 should be applied as necessary to prevent disturbance to big game. During facilities planning, new facilities (or expansion of existing facilities) in important wildlife connectivity areas should be avoided. Expansion and/or improvement of existing facilities should be favored over the construction of new ones.
