Avoid known individual plant locations and conduct operations elsewhere when they are least likely to cause damage. Ideally, this would involve frozen, snow-covered ground. However, in areas of the state where frozen conditions are unreliable, very dry soils late in the growing season might be the best available alternative. Consult with a biologist, if needed.
Avoid broadcast spraying of herbicides and use care with spot spraying.
Avoid site preparation that heavily disturbs herbaceous ground layer and soil, including bulldozing and furrowing, as well as grubbing and stump removal.
Avoid locating landings, staging areas, or access routes in open sandy areas dominated by native grasses.
Follow BMPs, especially around streams and use care near ravines, steep slopes, cliffs, rock outcrops, etc.
Buffer management around unique microhabitats such as ephemeral ponds, seeps, etc.
Silvicultural techniques that result in frequent soil distrubance should be avoided.
