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 />Schneller Clay Pit Page 7 <br />
