EXIE"IT "H" <br /> r <br /> WILDLIFE INFORMATION <br /> Wildlife habitat is basically non-existent over those portions owned by Galloping Goose LLC., <br /> and a substantial amount of U.S. Forest Service property bordering Galloping Goose on the East. <br /> However, there is a large area of undisturbed lands managed by the Forest Service which serve as <br /> wildlife habitat and falls within the proposed mine area. While the project is in operation, it r <br /> should not adversely affect wildlife. <br /> A variety of wildlife species will use this habitat. 1 Elk, deer, bear and mountain lion use the pine <br /> and aspen areas for both cover and food requirements. Several species of raptors(red-tailed <br /> hawks,kestrels, and owls), small mammals, coyotes, red fox and bobcat could also be expected in <br /> the area. <br /> When this project is completed,it should greatly reduce erosion as well as provide.more habitat <br /> for wildlife.
