MINED LAN • ILDLIFE STATEMENT/EVALUAT~N (Revised) <br />for limited impact and select regular mine applications <br />The following information pertaining to wildlife is provided for <br />use by Mined Land Reclamation Board in their consideration of a <br />mining permit for: <br />Patton Clay Pit; 8 mi. NW Canon City, ~T17S-R71W-525&5361 <br />Name/Type and Location of Mine (Legal) <br />Wildlife Species List: Mule Deer, Mountain Lion, Black Bear, <br />Cottontail Rabbit, Jackrabbit, Striped Skunk, Mourning Dove, Scaled <br />Quail, Common Crow, Magpie, Turkey Vulture, SparrowHawk, Prairie <br />Falcon, & Golden Eagle. <br />Endangered/Critical Species/Impacted: None Known. <br />Critical Habitats/Vegetative Communities Impacted: P i n y o n- <br />Juniper and Gambel's Oak transition zone. <br />Assessment of Impact: Moderate to good quality wildlife habitat <br />will be impacted by mining activity, however, if properly reclaimed <br />with native herbaceous and woody species similar to those currently <br />found at the site impacts should be temporary. <br />Mine Reclamation Recommendations (include key species/habitats for <br />which restoration is designed): <br />Reclamation plan should include reseeding with native herbaceous <br />species and woody species beneficial to wildlife and similiar in <br />composition to that currently found at the site. The site should <br />be fenced to exclude use by livestock until proper reclamation is <br />achieved and bond released. Stockpiled topsoil should be seeded <br />with a temporary seed mix to prevent loss from wind and water <br />erosion. Drainage should be managed to minimize erosion and loss <br />of soil both during mining and reclamation. <br />Prepared By: Dwayne Finch, DWM Date: 11/10/95 <br />Submitted By: David Lovell.
