4. Vegetation <br /> Vegetation within the permit area is very limited. The existing flat area in the west portion of the <br /> pit was reclaimed using substitute topsoil and high-altitude grass mix. This reclamation work <br /> was performed under the DRMS AML group. Substitute topsoil and vegetation will be stripped <br /> from the working area. Because the intent of the borrow pit is to produce substitute topsoil, this <br /> stripped topsoil may be used for reclamation purposes outside the permit area but within the <br /> Lond Property. Vegetation within the rock glacier is generally nonexistent. A few pine and fir <br /> trees are scattered near the toe of the rock glacier. <br /> 5. Wildlife <br /> Impacts to wildlife are anticipated to be minimal. The permit area is a small portion of a very <br /> large mining complex with limited forage and habitat available within the permit area. Colorado <br /> Parks and Wildlife lists the following species as potentially using the area.: <br /> • Big Horn Sheep: Summer& Winter Range <br /> • Mule Deer: Summer Range and Migration Corridor <br /> • Mountain Lion: Overall Range <br /> • Mountain Goat <br /> • Elk: Summer Concentration and Production <br /> • White-tailer Tarmigan: overall range and winter range <br /> • Birds: Brewer Sparrow, Brown Capped Rosey Finch, Cassin Finch, Golden Eagle, Lewis <br /> Wood Pecker, Northern Goshawk, Northern Harrier, Olive Sided Flycatcher, Rufous <br /> Hummingbird, Veery, <br /> • Dwarf Shrew <br /> • Pika <br /> • Snowshoe Hare <br /> • Little Brown Myotis Bat <br /> • Long Eared Myotis Bat <br /> • Pygmy Shrew <br /> • Southern Red-backed Vole <br /> • Cutthroat-trout <br /> • White-tailed Jackrabbit <br /> • Wolverine <br /> London Borrow Pit <br /> April 2024 B-7 Lewicki&Associates <br />
