The proposed project will extract aggregate and leave more varied topography within the <br /> site. Permanent reclamation of the site will entail grading,respreading topsoil, and seeding <br /> and planting perennial species that will support wildlife. The mining and reclamation will <br /> create a more diverse habitat than is currently present. Any areas of open water will sustain <br /> additional species of reptiles and amphibians as well as shorebirds and waterfowl. The <br /> addition of any water will create fringe environments favorable to predatory mammals and <br /> raptors, as well as food and water sources for herbivores. With the planting of additional <br /> trees and shrubs, additional strata and vegetation layers will be added to the site, creating <br /> improved cover, foraging, roosting, and nesting areas for wildlife. <br /> Exhibit H Page 4 <br />
