Description
Summary:This table quantifies the length, area, vegetation types and expected disturbance level of the trails that would have been created by the proposed 2019 seismic exploration of the 1002 Area of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The estimates are based on a) vegetation maps of the Arctic NWR, b) USFWS studies of the impacts of seismic exploration in the 1002 Area of the Arctic NWR, and c) the proposal by SAExploration submitted to the US Bureau of Land Management: SAExploration. 2018. Marsh Creek 3D plan of operations winter seismic survey. Retrieved from https://eplanning.blm.gov/epl-front-office/projects/nepa/111085/153349/187888/Marsh_Creek_Plan_ This information was published in an article in Ecological Applications in 2020. The length and area estimates were included in the text, and the amounts in each vegetation type and expected area with different levels of disturbance were included in Table 3.
