6.4.8 Exhibit H <br />Wildlife Information <br />Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife (CDOPW) provided comment in a <br />September 2, 2012 correspondence describing potential impacts, recommended <br />survey protocol and actions to protect nesting burrowing owls and a golden eagle <br />nest. Quentin Springer of CDOPW visited the site with a property owner on <br />September 2, 2012 and confirmed on October 29, 2015 that the comments remained <br />appropriate for the site. The prairie dog colony in which burrowing owls may nest is <br />on property owned by Doug Thacker to the west of the subject property. Prairie dog <br />burrows were not observed on the subject property. The empty golden eagle nest is <br />located outside the proposed permit boundary. The radius of impact to the nest <br />does not include the mesas but does include a portion of the haul road. <br />Fremont will monitor the area for prairie dog communities, burrowing owl <br />nests and empty golden eagle nests during mining. <br />The Colorado Natural Heritage Program at Colorado State University <br />performed a database search for rare and threatened species. The report is <br />provided. <br />12 <br />Edited May 31, 2016 <br />
