The Certificate Holder shall avoid, to the greatest extent possible, construction activities outside areas that will be permanently disturbed except during the months of May through October when soil moisture is low. Trenching of underground electric collection cables may be performed outside this time window, as the soil cover in those areas will be disturbed regardless of the season and will need to be restored and reseeded. 2.
