intent of reclamation. The siting and operation of the project will allow for continued migration
of wildlife both up and down the rivers and across the valley (indeed, slightly improving cross -
valley routes with improvements to the access road), and therefore should have no significant
potential for adverse impact on migration patterns. While claims are often made regarding the
negative effect on wildlife from increased human activities, and from side effects such as noise,
we have found that wildlife, particularly deer, elk, and various predators, tend to be very
common around operations such as quarries and sand and gravel pits, and even around
operations which have a greater impact, such as landfills. Based on the location and area
impacted, there should be no significant water depletion which would impact wildlife or their
habitat and therefore require consultation. See Exhibit G.
4. Proposed mitigation measures, including reclamation, for wildlife habitat:
Since there is no reasonable potential of significant impact, no mitigation measures are planned
for the sake of wildlife habitat mitigation.
