9.0 EXHIBIT H—WILDLIFE INFORMATION <br /> A Mined Land Wildlife Questionnaire was previously submitted to the DOW as part of <br /> DRMS Permit M-2008-082. Based on previous wildlife assessments prepared by the DOW in the <br /> general area, species that are commonly found in the area include deer,turkeys, pheasant, <br /> rabbits, muskrat,beaver, waterfowl, raptors,rodents, magpies, and songbirds. While bald eagles <br /> have recently been observed in the general area, no local bald eagle nesting sites have been <br /> identified on or adjacent to the combined mining permits. <br /> Some local wildlife species may be displaced from the area during operations; however, <br /> they are expected to reestablish themselves when mining and reclamation have been completed. <br /> The proposed mining and reclamation will not hinder local movement of wildlife. Future water <br /> storage lakes are anticipated to provide valuable habitat to waterfowl and migratory bird species. <br /> Included with the original permit application was a Wildlife Resources Assessment <br /> prepared by: ERO Resources Corporation which is included with this Exhibit. <br /> 18 <br />
