While this quarry area is mapped as winter habitat, none of the north-facing <br /> slopes actually contain suitable winter habitat. Winter range primarily consists of south-facing <br /> pinyon-juniper which will not be disturbed. The project will not impact regional elk habitat. In <br /> addition, not all the 239 acres will be disturbed at once, and the maximum disturbance at any time <br /> will be less than 165 acres. As stated in the mine plan above, increases in affected lands will be <br /> incremental and the reclamation will be completed contemporaneously as mining progresses, and <br /> through implementing the mine and reclamation plan there is an opportunity to not only reclaim <br /> the area back to wildlife habitat but to improve the wildlife habitat, increase the amount of winter <br /> habitat, and provide more value to wildlife than currently exists, encouraging a more robust wildlife <br /> habitat. The reclamation plan complies with the GMU-59 recommendations for habitat <br /> improvements by increasing the amount of shrublands. Also, the mining plan preserves the <br /> existing ridgeline and valley migration corridors and the existing shrubland north of Little Turkey <br /> Creek. <br /> Hitch Rack Ranch Quarry Permit Application <br /> March 20,2018 E-17 <br />
