Fish populations were sampled qualitatively by making one pass <br />with backpack electrofishing gear through 100m sections at each <br />station, eacept Station 1 on Middle Creek where 25m were sampled. <br />Fish captured were identified and counted. <br />RESULTS OF TERRESTRIAL FAUNAL INVESTIGATIONS <br />The literature review and qualitative data of all three etudiea <br />(Dames and Moore (1975), ERT/Ecology Consultants, Inc. (1978), and <br />CYCC (1980)) have been combined in the form of three separate <br />species lists: Table 17, Species of Hammals that Occur or are <br />Likely to Occur on Energy Mine No. 3 Study Area; Table 18, Species <br />of Birds that Occur or are Likely to Occur on the Energy Mine No. 3 <br />Study Area; and Table 19, Species of Amphibians and Reptiles that <br />• Occur or are Likely to Occur on the Energy Mine No. 3 Study Area. <br />Specific sightings of wildlife or definitive signs are noted. <br />Further results and discussion will follow these major categories: <br />Small Mammals, Medium-sized Mammals, Large Mammals, and Avifauna. <br />Small Mammals <br />Small mammal trapping by the CYCC wildlife biologist in August <br />of 1980 revealed three major species: Peromyscue maniculatus (deer <br />mouse), Eutamias minimus (least chipmunk), and Microtua epp. <br />(voles). Results of this trapping along with relative abundance for <br />each habitat type are presented in Table 20, Small Mammal Trapping <br />Data. Additional trapping (480 trap nights) is an area located two <br />• miles west of the southern part of the proposed permit area and of <br />similar habitat revealed the same three species.
