Forage and cover for wildlife is very limited due to the and climate. Small animals(jackrabbits, <br /> coyote,various rodents)make use of the surrounding environment. No known endangered or <br /> critical species are present. Impacts to wildlife will be mitigated through a weed management <br /> plan and reseeding the rangeland with a diverse seed mix. <br /> 3. Seasonal Use of the Area <br /> All identified significant wildlife resources that have range over the affected area are year around <br /> in their usage. <br /> 4. Presence and Estimated Population of Threatened or Endangered Species <br /> No federally listed threatened and endangered species and/or habitat were identified on the <br /> affected land. <br /> 5. Effect of Proposed Operation on Existing Wildlife <br /> Impacts on wildlife use from the proposed project are anticipated to be minor and would include <br /> direct temporary elimination of potential habitat within the affected area during mining, and <br /> temporary localized displacement associated with additional noise from the proposed project. <br /> This localized loss of habitat would not disrupt regional migration or significant movement <br /> patterns and would not threaten the overall health and viability of a species. Nearby lands are <br /> will remain undisturbed, and as such the Mystic Soil disturbance will not be of a significant <br /> impact on area wildlife habitat. <br /> The affected area will be fully reclaimed at the conclusion of mining which will restore some <br /> degree of wildlife habitat over time. Transformation of the bulk of the rangeland onsite into a <br /> recreational facility will be permanent change in overall habitat. <br /> 6. Impacts to fish <br /> There will be no impacts to fish from this project. <br /> Mystic Soil H-2 c..c� �skt and As1«Ia18a PI.l.4 <br /> November 2020 <br />
