GENERAL WILDLIFE ALONG THE INTERSTATE 90 CORRIDOR The I-90 corridor for this project is defined as the 15-mile stretch along I-90 between Hyak, at milepost 54, and Easton, at milepost 70 (Figure 4). The I-90 survey areas in 2016 monitored previously-established and novel locations within this 15 mile stretch and within close proximity to the freeway. The three survey areas, each consisting of two camera installations, totaled ten discreet locations being monitored (Table 5). These installations are established in the I-90 corridor to detect general wildlife movement and presence in relation to the interstate.
