Wildlife • • <br /> Environmental <br /> unique opportunities are available to enhance habitat and/or benefit wildlife which could be <br /> accomplished within the framework of the approved final Reclamation Plan. <br /> Creativity within reclamation(within suitable reclamation guidelines) is encouraged to randomly <br /> incorporate features that promote wildlife habitat diversity and mimic natural, un-disturbed <br /> conditions through methods and goals such as: <br /> • Variability in slope direction and severity to increase differential snow drifting and <br /> subsequent micro-climate diversity. <br /> • Dozer pockets <br /> • Boulder piles <br /> • Motte or clump woody vegetation re-establishment <br /> • Woody vegetation travel, cover, and browse corridors. <br /> 4.2 Biodiversity <br /> Every reasonable effort should be made to increase bio-diversity in the post-mining environment. <br /> This includes variability in soil conditions, slope aspect, slope severity, <br /> 4.3 Sustainability <br /> Post-mining land use planning should incorporate features that will not require maintenance for <br /> biotic and functional sustenance. Examples include: <br /> • Vegetation seed mix including native species <br /> • Storm-water control features that are permanent in nature. <br /> 5 Reporting Wildlife Findings <br /> 5.1 Wildlife Injured or Sick <br /> When wildlife is found injured or sick on or near CC&V property, the following procedure must <br /> be followed immediately. <br /> • Ensure that your safety is not compromised at the scene while analyzing the situation. <br /> • Contact Environmental Resources (ER) <br /> • Document as much of the following information as is pertinent and provide to <br /> Environmental Resources. <br /> • Time found <br /> • Location found or last seen <br /> • Species involved(e.g., elk, deer, fox, etc) <br /> • Number of animals involved <br /> • Cause of injury or sickness, if known. <br /> • Symptoms observed <br /> • Action taken to help the animal, if applicable <br /> • Identify needed measures to prevent reoccurrence of the incident <br /> ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... <br /> Department THIS DOCUMENT IS UNCONTROLLED IN HARD COPY FORMAT Doc Id:NNA-CCV-ER-Plan-E 042 <br /> ........................................................... _ ., ....... ......................................................................................... ................................................................................... <br /> ..... <br /> CCV Environmental Date of This Issue: 11/18/2015 Date of Next Review:11/18/2017 Page 6 of 9 <br /> '......................................................-....................................i............................................................................................i............................................................................................:............................................................................................. <br />
