M N 3~ <br />E~~IT "H" <br />WILDLIFE INFORMATION <br />Wildlife habitat is basically non-existent over those portions owned by Galloping Goose LLC., <br />and a substantial amount ofU.S. Forest Service property bordering Galloping Goose on the East. <br />However, there is a lazge area of undisturbed lands managed by the Forest Service which serve as <br />wildlife habitat and falls within the proposed mine azea. While the project is in operation, it <br />should not adversely affect wildlife. <br />A variety of wildlife species will use this habitat. `Elk, deer, bear and mountain lion use the pine <br />and aspen areas for bout cover and food requirements. Several species of raptors (red-tailed <br />hawks, kestrels, and owls), small mammals, coyotes, red fox and bobcat could also be expected in <br />the area. <br />When this project is completed, it should greatly reduce erosion as well as provide more habitat <br />for wildlife. <br />cdubuh <br />'Sharp, Tonya.
