4.6 .3.2 Non-Game Species <br /> Specific monitoring practices will not be conducted for non-game species as miti- <br /> gation and land management practice for big game should enhance values for other <br /> species as well. However, rodent depredation on newly revegetated areas could be <br /> damaging to revegetation efforts. Post-mine vegetative sampling (Section 4.4) as <br /> well as continuing incidental field observations will indicate if depredation <br /> from rodents is a problem and if revegetation success is being hampered by these <br /> species. <br /> 4.6.3.3 Raptors <br /> Based on the results of the raptor surveys conducted over the past several years, <br /> it appears that mining and reclamation activities at Trapper Mine have not <br /> adversely affected raptor nesting habits. In May, 1985, the Division approved a <br /> minor revision allowing Trapper to survey only the golden eagle and prairie <br /> falcon nest site on an annual basis. Nesting trends for these species will con- <br /> tinue to be monitored. <br /> 4-169 <br /> REVISED FEB 13 '87 <br />
