The ESP analyzes the full project corridor. Should<br />
complete vegetation removal occur as a result of<br />
construction and long-term patrol/maintenance there<br />
will be loss of approximately 380 acres in the 60-foot<br />
wide corridor and 985 acres in the 150-foot wide<br />
corridor.<br />
1. <strong>CBP</strong> and USBP are working closely with USFWS<br />
regarding potential impacts to threatened or<br />
endangered species. Impacts and mitigation<br />
measures to wildlife and wildlife habitats are<br />
included in the BRP (see Appendix E of the<br />
ESP). In this regard, <strong>CBP</strong>, USBP, and USACE<br />
are working closely with the USFWS on fence<br />
design and BMPs that would minimize or mitigate<br />
impacts to sensitive species.<br />
