This section of the plan <br /> provides those specific details that not only reestablish the existing wildlife habitat, but also <br /> enhance and improve the area by establishing vegetational communities that are not presently <br /> available thereby providing further benefits and protection to wildlife. <br /> Reclamation guidance documents for surface mines provide valuable information for ways to <br /> improve wildlife habitats and have been incorporated as appropriate. Vogel's reclamation manual, <br /> prepared for the Office of Surface Mining, Reclamation, and Enforcement (1987) states, "In <br /> revegetating surface-mined areas, the maximum benefit usually is obtained by establishing <br /> vegetational communities that are in short supply in the vicinity... Establishing shrub communities <br /> in forested and agricultural areas where they often are lacking is especially beneficial to wildlife." <br /> Vogel (1987) also states that, "The basic components of wildlife habitat are food, cover, [and] <br /> water,"and that"all of these are essential for survival. Food sources need to be available in during <br /> all seasons. Plant cover is required to not only provide nesting and brooding habitat but also <br /> escape and shelter. Some wildlife species require open water while others obtain moisture from <br /> the actual plants." This plan is designed to provide these necessary components for the wildlife <br /> currently on the Ranch. <br /> Hitch Rack Ranch Quarry Permit Application <br /> March 20, 2018 E-14 <br />
