~, <br />WILDLIFE OCCURA~IC$ <br />CORTEZ PIT - NIELSONS, INC. <br />U <br />Due to several factors, little game is seen in the area. <br />The area's natural condition of low moisture and poor topsoil have pro- <br />duced a minimum of cover and food for wildlife. <br />A number of businesses and residences have moved into the area during the <br />past few years with some disturbance of wildlife habits. <br />It is felt that the time involved in mining the pit will be relatively <br />small compared to the overall operation, i.e., blasting, excavation, and <br />crushing will average about one month per year while material will be <br />hauled from stockpiles throughout the year. This should provide for a <br />minimal disturbance to wildlife from t'he pit operation, <br />The local wildlife conservation officer was asked L-o visit the site in <br />the field. His comments are attached. <br />1 .ta,M'T+.~'~0.341Ary1F~ \' - Tfi ~.~ ~ ytYiHl't. ~•.a~.•. "` •... tt,a4-o <br />
