Bestway Paving Company <br /> ' 112 Permit Application <br /> ' EXHIBIT H, WILDLIFE INFORMATION <br /> An on-the-ground examination of the site was made by George S. <br /> ' Gorsuch, Ecosystems Analyst. As a result of that field examination, the <br /> ' following comments can be made regarding the wildlife population of the <br /> site. Small mammals found in the general area include skunks (Mephitis sue.) , <br /> ' raccoon (Procyon lotor lotor) , field mice (Microtus spp.) , and cottontail <br /> rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus similis) . Due to the heavy cultivation of <br /> ' the land, most mammals are visitors. Soil disturbance and insufficient <br /> ' ground cover do not permit nesting and burrowing by small mammals. No <br /> evidence of prairie dogs (C ny omys ludouicianus ludouicianus) was found. <br /> ' Intermittent flows of water in the Greeley No. 3 Ditch occur during the <br /> irrigation season. There is no fish habitat on the property, although a <br /> t <br /> E fish habitat will be a natural result of creation of a pond at the end <br /> ' of the reclamation operation. The weed. and grass habitat along the <br /> Greeley No. 3 Ditch at the north edge of the property supports garter <br /> snakes, toads, and .frogs. Insects found at the site generally include <br /> grasshoppers, leaf hoppers, moths, butterflies, bees, wasps, bettles, <br /> ' ants, flies, mosquitos, and other miscellaneous species. There are no <br /> ' designated endangered species within or immediately adjacent to the site. <br /> 1 <br /> 1 <br />
