EXHIBIT "H" <br /> 6.4.8 Wildlife Information <br /> (1) Description of game and non-game resources on and in the vicinity of the <br /> Operation: <br /> (a) Significant wildlife resources on the affected land: <br /> There are no known significant wildlife resources on the areas which could be affected by <br /> the proposed operation. <br /> (b) Seasonal use of thearea: <br /> There is no known significant seasonal use of the proposed area. Since the site is <br /> presently an active mine site and the proposed addition will only double the affected area <br /> to about 68.46 acres,seasonal use by wildlife is minimal. <br /> (c) The presence of threatened or endangered species: <br /> The site is an active mining area and there are no known threatened or endangered animal <br /> species on the existing and proposed permit area. <br /> (d) Describe the effect of mining and reclamation activity during and afterthe <br /> proposed operation on existing wildlife: <br /> Due to the limited area of the existing and proposed 112 permit,the existing and <br /> proposed operation should have a relatively insignificant impact on wildlife. Once <br /> mining and reclamation are complete,the area will bereturned to its pre-mining use, <br /> rangeland. Any impact which might have occurred in relation to wildlife should be <br /> mitigated. <br /> (2) Division of Parks and Wildlife comments: <br /> A request shall be sent,certified mail,to the Colorado Division of Parksand Wildlife <br /> (CDPW). We will provide a copy of their response, if received. Where possible,the <br /> Operator/Applicant will attempt to minimize impacts to wildlife and follow CDPW <br /> recommendations. <br />
