Vegetation will be mechanically removed from the 218-W-6 Low Level Burial Ground (LLBG). The 218-W-6 LLBG consists of shrub-steppe and herbaceous habitats. The Western meadowlark, killdeer, lark sparrow, and loggerhead shrike could nest in the project area, based on known nesting preferences. We recommend that vegetation removal on 218-W-6 occur outside the nesting season (i.e., August 1 through February 28), in order to avoid potential adverse impacts to nesting individuals and/or their young and to comply with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
