'ChB gravel <br />will be mined .in 2 or 3 acre increutents. All top soil will be stripped <br />and stockpiled during the mining operation and used to rehabil:.tate the <br />mined area. <br />The area is presently being dry land farmed and is in winter wheat and <br />fallow strips. <br />ti.ildlife involved in the area taottlc7 consist of a few Passerine birds <br />and an ocr_asionai phrrasant. Antelope may use the ,tr.<~a on rather rare <br />instances, however, no L- on~a regular basis. <br />There arc no tltreatenerl or endangered species involved. <br />In conclusion, it would be recommended that the rehabilitation cou:Ld <br />include Borne shrubby cover plants, which would cre,rte habitat For pheasants. <br />DB/edy <br />cc: Joseph Surprenant <br />1075 EIillcrest Drive. <br />Pt.
