Wildlife NEWMONT • Inspections should ensure that preventive measures are in place and meet the criteria detailed under Section 2 of this plan. All personnel responsible for wildlife inspections in their areas shall be trained by the S&ER Department on what to look for, how to document it, and how to report the information on to the S&ER Department. If repairs are determined to be necessary, they should be completed within a timeframe appropriate to the risk's score on the Newmont Risk Matrix. 3.2 Maintenance Preventive measures should be maintained to meet the criteria detailed under Section 2 of this plan, until the reclamation bond for each area has been released or until the area has been reclaimed to the extent that wildlife are no longer exposed to potential risks outlined herein. 4 Legacy Considerations 4.1 Reclamation Habitat management and creation, as part of CC&V's Reclamation Plan, should be directed toward encouraging the diversity of both game and non-game species, and shall provide protection, rehabilitation or improvement of wildlife habitat. Operators are encouraged to contact the S&ER department if they have suggestions for enhancing sites that promotes biodiversity and habitat S&ER personnel will contact CPW and/or federal agencies with regulatory authority to determine available opportunities to enhance habitat and/or benefit wildlife and accomplished within the framework of the approved final Reclamation Plan. Creativity in reclamation (within the current approved reclamation permit) is encouraged to incorporate features that promote wildlife habitat diversity and mimic natural, un-disturbed conditions through methods and goals such as: • Variability in slope direction and severity to increase deferential snow drifting and subsequent micro-climate diversity • Dozer pockets • Boulder piles • Motte or clump woody vegetation re-establishment • Woody vegetation travel, cover, and browse corridors. 4.2 Biodiversity Every reasonable effort should be made to increase bio-diversity in the post-mining environment including, variability in soil conditions, slope aspect, and slope severity.
