TCOINMCRE <br />TE INC. <br />Exhibit H: Wildlife Information <br />We contacted the local Colorado Parks & Wildlife (CPW) office for assistance in obtaining any <br />prevalent information we could from them regarding the property in question. We were directed <br />to contact the game warden in charge of the region the property happens to fall in. We reached <br />out to him and he did not get back to us for nearly three weeks. He finally set up an appointment <br />to meet at the site and look at everything. He cancelled that appointment the day of but promised <br />to have an official land use review letter back to us the following Wednesday. That day came and <br />went. I followed up with him the following week. He promised he had the letter written, but that <br />it had to be reviewed and signed by his boss and that we should have it at the end of the <br />following week. That date also came and went. I reached out to him on Monday, August 20 and <br />he was surprised that I didn't have the letter. He told me that it should have been mailed. He was <br />going to look into it and get back with me. I reached out to him the morning of August 28th, <br />2020. As of September, 1, 2020 afternoon, we have not heard back from him. <br />We are obviously in Colorado. There is wildlife around all of us. All the time. We cannot deny <br />the `chance' that some form of wildlife will not come onto the property at some point in time <br />during the extraction process. <br />We will, however, cater to whatever forms of creature that happens to wander onto the property <br />as much as feasibly possible. No highwalls will be left of any kind that would allow something to <br />fall. No open pits will be dug in a fashion that egress would not be allowed. No hunting will be <br />allowed on the permitted area. And nearly no trees will be removed. <br />To our knowledge, there are no known residences being taken up with wildlife of any kind. <br />Large mammals may occasionally pass through the land, but none are known to reside anywhere <br />on the property. The City of Florence is not far to the East of the property, so we do not believe <br />there is a migratory pattern of any kind that we will be interfering with that the Town hasn't <br />already interfered with. To the South there is a subdivision, so again, we do not feel we will be <br />altering any kind of migratory pattern that was not already altered by other structures. <br />Not all the land currently owned by the landowner is applicable to this 112c application. In fact, <br />less than half is attempting to be permitted. The low-lying areas of the property (mostly North & <br />North/West) has several leaf trees and an abundant amount of ground brush. The extraction area <br />in question in nearly all prairie grass and cactus covered. There are some trees to the North <br />towards the bluff of the mesa, but not many. And not near as many as what is outside the <br />permitting area. <br />Therefore, all existing wildlife (and any that may happen to come along during the extraction <br />period) have ample access to "other" areas of the land for residency. <br />902 South Union Street Florence, Co. 81226 (719) 784-3878 Office (719) 784-1158 Fax <br />
