<br />Affected Em~ironment: The San Juan -San Mi~~uel Resource Mana~~ement Plan has the <br />following boundaries labeled for eagle habitat, and deer and elk winter range. The <br />proposed action is outside the boundary designated as critical eagle habitat. and is <br />approximately three miles from the heavily used Home Bench eagle roost site. The <br />proposed action is also outside of the boundary labeled as critical deer and elk winter <br />habitat. The proposed action is within the boundary identified within the Gunnison Su ~r <br />Grouse Conservation Plan - San miguel Basin (July 17, 1998). However the closes[ <br />known lek is over two miles away. <br />Environmental Consequences &: Mitigation: Proposed action will he closed do~~n to <br />minimize impacts on wildlife from December 1 to April 1 Sh. No minin~~ will occur and <br />all structures, and equipment will be removed. /~ <br />Signature of specialist: / <br />~~~;~ ~_ - <br />WASTES, HAZARDOUS OR SOLID ' <br />Affected Em~ironment The only hazardous materials on-site will be motor fuels used for <br />the mining operation. These fuels will be contained in approved storage containers. or in <br />the machinery for which they are intended. <br />Reasonable care would be required for handling these materials, any storage containers <br />would need to be approved as part of the mining plan of operation. <br />No explosives will be permitted on site. <br />Signature of specialist: Loren Wickstrom <br />WATER QUALITY. SURFACE OR GROUND <br />Affected Environment: Best Management Practices w°u d incorporated into this mineral <br />material permit to reduce surface runoff from active mi4ng operations and areas being <br />reclaimed. Vegetation treatments that reduce fire hazard and increase grasses and fortis <br />would increase the amount of surface runoff and soil movement. Additionally the <br />proposed action will create a series of cascading collection ponds ~thich will catch <br />sediment, create wetlands and help control flooding. <br />Signature of specialist: Loren Wickstrom 10/30/00 <br />WILDERNESS, AREAS OF CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONCL-RN• W[LD AND <br />SCENIC RIVERS <br />Affected Environment: This project is not located in any designated Wilderness or <br />Wilderness Study Areas, designated or proposed Wild and Scenic Rivers. or in an Area ul <br />Critical Environmental Concern. <br />Signature of specialist.
