~ ~ III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII <br />~` / EXHIBIT D <br />Airport Pit: <br />a. Wildlife <br />Currently this site is not frequented by any small or large game <br />species. A variety of small non-game mammals, birds and repti:Les <br />do frequent adjacent habitat. However, present and future operations <br />will not have any permanent adverse impact on any species in tl~e <br />area due to the abundant amount of similar habitat adjacent to the <br />site. No endangered or threatened species exist in the immedi:~te <br />or adjacent area of this site. <br />Source: Private communication, Mr. Bert Widhalm, C.D.O.W. <br />Conservation Officer, October 5, 1977. <br />b. water Resources <br />Surface water: Finley Gulch is intermitant drainage which pas:;es <br />just east of this site. Due to the sparce precipitation, no <br />seepage or erosion problems have occurred. Finley Gulch is thc~ <br />only drainage way within approximately one half mile. Surface <br />runoff from rain presents no problems at all. <br />Ground water: Ground water levels fluctuate on this site as much <br />as two to three feet during spring and summer irrigation. The <br />estimated depth to water in January, 1966, was greater than fifteen <br />(15) feet. Ground water has not effected the pit operations so <br />far and no problems are anticipated. <br />c. Vegetation <br />Currently the condition of this site is somewhat deteriorated c.ue <br />to poor past range management. The site is dominated by pingue and <br />snakeweed. A few isolated patches of blue grams, winterfat anc. four- <br />winged saltbush do occur on the site but the general rule is er:- <br />tremely sparce vegetation of any kind. <br />d.
