ABBREVIATIONS: BLM = Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Department of the Interior; BuRec = Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Department of the Interior; FAA = Federal Aviation Administration; FS = Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture; FWS = Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
1Due to overlaps, acreages are not additive.
2Except for powersites and stock driveways, these withdrawals segregate the land against operation of the public land laws and from mineral location under the 1872 General Mining Law.
3These withdrawals are scheduled for future review. The recommendations from the reviews will be arrived at on a case-by-case basis. It is possible that portions of the Bureau of Reclamation withdrawals may be revoked, returning the lands to the jurisdiction of the BLM.
4The original public water reserve withdrawals included segregation against the location of nonmetalliferous minerals. Withdrawal review reports completed in 1982 revealed that this segregation is unnecessary to protect the water sources. Public Water Reserve 107 also said that all water sources existing on the date of the withdrawal order were protected and withdrawn even if they were not noted to the official records. Therefore, 4,850 acres of previously unrecorded water sources are included. Public water reserves withdrawn under Secretarial Order 107 and other classification orders will be reviewed to determine if they meet the retention requirements of legal opinions of the solicitor of the Department of the Interior and the agreement made between the state of Wyoming and the Department of Justice (for the Department of the Interior) regarding the adjudication of water rights. Withdrawals will be terminated on public water reserves that do not meet retention requirements.
5These withdrawals segregate the land against operation of the public land laws but not the 1872 General Mining Law.
6These withdrawal initiatives would replace segregations previously established with C&MU classification.

Table 3 - Acreages with Seasonal Surface Disturbance Restrictions

Type of Area	Estimated Acreage
Steep Slopes	320,000
Riparian areas and/or perennial surface water	140,000
Historic trails	43,000
VRM Class I and Class II areas	194,000
Existing and proposed recreation sites	560
Noeth Platte River SRMA (1/4 mile on either side of the river)	3,550
Sage grouse leks	22,900
High priority wildlife habitat	240,000
Raptor concentration areas (see map 8)	60,000
Baggs crucial winter range for elk	79,000
Overlapping big game crucial winter range	122,880
NOTE: The above acreages are estimates based on the best available information and may not include all reasons for the restrictions. They are intended to give the reader a concept of the area involved. Some acreages may overlap. Seasonal restrictions, to protect wildlife during critical periods, will be applied to about 1.4 million acres. This acreage includes raptor concentration areas, sage grouse and sharp-tailed grouse nesting habitat, and big game crucial winter range and birthing areas. It overlaps with some of the acreages listed above.

Table 4 - Ranking of Standard Habitat Types

High Priority	Moderate Priority	Low Priority1
Open aquatic	Greaswood-sagebrush riparian	Short grasslands
Riparian grassland	Big sagebrush-rabbitbrush	Saltbush steppe
Willow-waterbirch riparian	Bitterbrush	Greasewood
Aspen riparian	Sagebrush-mixed grass	Badland
Cottonwood riparian	Silver sagebrush steppe	True sand dunes
Mountain shrub	Lodgepole pine	Upland meadows
Utah juniper	Limber pine
Quaking aspen	Early successional conifer
Aspen conifer	Rockland
Ponderosa pine/Douglas-fir	Saline sub-irrigated grassland
Platte Valley rockland
Laramie Peak rockland
Wet forested meadow
NOTE: Ranking is based on the wildlife communities (total species, number of breeders, number of rare species) combined with the availability of each type.
1High priority habitats are those that require intensive-management actions (data collection, enhancement, protection) to maintain their productivity as diverse wildlife communities; moderate-priority habitates are those that require less intensive management to maintain their productivity as wildlife communities; low-priority habitats are those that can be more heavily used by conflicting resources so that the higher priority wildlife habitats can be maintained.
