of non-specific dispersed recreation. On private lands, single family homes and mining are the primary <br /> uses. County Road 26 also known as Yankee Boy Basin Road is a popular four-wheel drive vehicle and <br /> jeep route to the scenic Yankee Boy Basin and Mt. Sneffels Wilderness areas. This route can get very <br /> crowded during summer with peak visitation during the month of July. <br /> 6.2 Significant Game Resources <br /> There will be no alteration of game resources as a result of this project. Project activities are not likely to <br /> displace game resources however there are large amounts of habitat adjacent to and inside of the permit <br /> boundaries that game animals may utilize. Several species of game have been encountered inside of the <br /> permit boundary. Moose and deer are particularly fond of the wetlands areas on the mine site. <br /> 6.3 Significant Non-Game Resources <br /> There will be no alteration of marten habitat as a result of this project. Project activities are not likely to <br /> displace marten however there are large amounts of habitat adjacent to the permit boundaries that martens <br /> may utilize. <br /> The effects to CRCT are expected to be insignificant because: 1) There are no known or suspected CRCT <br /> populations in the project area or that would be influenced downstream of the project area and 2)with <br /> proper implementation of BMP's for water quality potential impacts from stream crossings and instream <br /> construction will minimize any potential negative effects making them discountable. <br /> Boreal toads are rare and exist in very patchy and isolated locations in Colorado. Based on information <br /> from the Colorado Natural Heritage Program and GMUG NF records,there are no recent documented <br /> occurrences of boreal toad in the project area. Mining activities are primarily underground and are <br /> unlikely to result in trampling or crushing a boreal toad. <br /> 6.4 Threatened or Endangered Species <br /> As the mining activities will be underground, implementation of the project will not result in a <br /> measurable effect on lynx. Similar and more remote habitat is available to lynx adjacent to the project <br /> area. There are no anticipated cumulative effects to lynx as a result of this project. <br /> 7.
