7. hssessment of Mining Impact on Wildlife ,
Perhaps greater than most other sites due to amount of cover, proximity of
water, and variety of topography and vegetation in pre-disturbed condition.
On-site destruction of habitat has occurred and may expand. Disruption of
• wildlife activity patterns may occur due to human activity during periods of
use. Will be a contributing source of sediments in Carrizo Creek during
periods of heavy rainfall.
S. Proposed I;itication PSeasures, Includino Reclar.,ation for Iildlife F,sbitai_
Usual reclamation procedures will probably be sufficient, but special attention
should be given to sheet and gully erosion control. Construction of one more
check dam below existing one will be beneficial. Consideration should be
given to re-establishing native tree and shrub species.
