EXHIBIT H Wildlife Information <br /> We anticipate no significant impacts to local wildlife species or wildlife habitats will occur <br /> because of the expansion of this pit. Mining efforts will still focus on the intermittent Creek. <br /> Expansion of the boundaries safeguards the county not working outside the approved limits. <br /> Common species which occur in northeast Colorado could include bird species of Cassin's <br /> sparrow, chestnut collared longspur, lark bunting, horned lark, mourning doves, western <br /> meadowlark, ferruginous and Swainsan's hawks, and pheasants. Small mammals that might be <br /> found include cottontail, white-tailed and black-tailed jackrabbit, badger, pronghorn antelope, <br /> coyote, swift fox, plains pocket gopher, long-tailed weasel, and several species of mice. <br /> Reptiles might include the western rattlesnake, race snake, western box turtle, and six-lined <br /> racerunner. Deer common to Phillips County could also be found at the site from time to time. <br /> Haynes Hereford Ranch Pit Page 7 <br />
