• <br />2.04. 11 - FISH AND WILDLIFE RESOURCES INFORMATION <br />The Natural Diversity Information Source (NDIS) of the Colorado Division <br />of Wildlife ( http: / /ndis.nrel.colostate.edu) was searched for information <br />on wildlife species of the surface disturbance area. A list of known or <br />likely wildlife species of La Plata County is contained in Appendix 8. <br />A further review of wildlife species for which the Colorado Division of <br />Wildlife has distribution maps on the NDIS web site reveals that the <br />permit area is not within any concentration or important ranges for mule <br />deer, elk, bighorn sheep, mountain lion, or black bear (see sample maps <br />in Appendix 8). <br />Seasonal Use of Potentially Occurring Wildlife Species <br />With the exception of migratory birds and bats the wildlife species <br />encountered during the site inspection or that potentially occurs on -site <br />are expected to be year -round residents or users of the site. Carnivore <br />and ungulate species are not restricted to this site and tend to have <br />relatively large home ranges (up to several square miles). The majority of <br />rodent and insectivore species can be expected to reside on -site <br />throughout the year, though many may hibernate during the cold <br />months. Avian species may be year- round, temporary migrants, or <br />summer residents of the site. Year -round residents would include <br />raptors, gallinaceous birds, doves, owls, and woodpeckers. The majority <br />of passerines would use the site during the spring, summer, and fall for <br />breeding, feeding or resting during migration. Amphibian and reptile <br />species of the site are year -round residents. <br />Project Effects to Wildlife <br />Noise and air emissions during mining will cause a temporary <br />disturbance to wildlife during active operations. Some wildlife species <br />will be temporarily displaced within areas of surface operations. Species <br />such as raccoons, coyotes, deer, and raptors will continue to use the <br />property and adjacent areas during mining operations and the site itself <br />when operations are not active. Bird species will use the periphery of the <br />site and the site itself opportunistically, if prey or food species are <br />present. <br />The project will ultimately return the site to a topography and vegetation <br />community similar (or better from a wildlife perspective) than that now <br />GCC Energy, LLC <br />Section 2.04. 11 <br />Page 1 <br />King II Mine <br />October, 2008 <br />T2 - /,5- <br />
