<br />• E.3.3 Wildlife <br /> <br />The mining and reclamation plans will take into consideration the safety <br />and protection of wildlife on the mine site and access roads. Cotter <br />has contacted the Division of Wildlife, the Bureau of Land Management, <br />and the Department of Energy concerning the protection, rehabilitation <br />and improvement of wildlife habitat. <br />E.3.4 Topsoiling <br />Topsoil will be removed and stockpiled in a topsoil storage area separate <br />from other storage areas. Vegetative cover will be employed to preserve <br />the topsoil from wind and water erosion and to insure that it remains <br />in a useable condition for reclamation. <br />• Woody vegetation present at the site will be removed and put to a <br />beneficial use as directed by the Bureau of Land Panagement. <br />The topsoil stockpile will be located away from ongoing mining opera- <br />tions (see Figures D.5-1 to D.5-11) and graded to minimize erosion. <br />• <br />E-3 <br />
