EXHIBIT H -Wildlife Information <br />(a) The proposed permit area currently is vacant rangeland. 'The Wiley-Kim and Schamber <br />Midway soils aze limited for use as wildlife habitat because of low vegetative production. <br />On non- irrigated areas, these soils are best suited to habitat for such wildlife as antelope, <br />jaclaabbit, cottontail, and coyote. Initial wildlife impacts wili be localized and minor. <br />(b) The only seasonal use of the proposed permit area would be during the antelope and <br />small game hunting seasons. Since the proposed permit area is located on private land, <br />the impact on the various hunting seasons would be minimal, as hunting activities for the <br />general public would not be allowed at the site. <br />(c) District Wildlife Director, Mr. Lonnie Brown, inspected the site on November 11, 2006, <br />and verified that no critical or important wildlife habitats or wildlife species (pra'vie dog <br />colonies or T&E Species) would be impacted by the proposed operation. <br />(d) Due to the limited suitability of this soil Type for vegetation the general effect of the <br />proposed operation on the existing wildlife would be minimal. Reclamation and re- <br />vegetation would return the proposed permit area to the approximate previous state as far <br />as wildlife habitat. -There are no surface waters or impoundments located within the <br />proposed area of operations and as such interference with migratory routes, food or <br />habitat resources would be limited. <br />
