. vegetation. All fences, roads, powerlines, facilities and structures required to carry on the <br />mining/reclamation operations wiU be designed and constructed to prevent the entrapment <br />of, or injury to, the wildlife species. Fence construction will be minimized and of standazd <br />BLM configuration. Road traffic control will be enforced to prevent injury or death to <br />wildlife by moving vehicles. <br />Wildlife habitat will be retained and enhanced as practicable within the development <br />constraints of the approved post-mining land uses. <br />No threatened or endangered species of plants are known nor aze any likely to occur on <br />the permit area based upon known habitat requirements of endangered or threatened <br />potential occupants (See Appendix 4-6). A survey was conducted pursuant to a <br />stipulation of the permit and no endangered or threatened plant species occurred within <br />the permit area. No threatened or endangered species of wildlife are known to exist on <br />the permit azea. Bald eagles winter in trees along the Animas River adjacent to the new <br />covered shopping mall (Map 4-7). The winter resident eagles feed upon carrion and <br />appazently upon mule deer road kills along State Highway 160. It is believed that this <br />activity will continue due to the density of traffic in this area. The major impact of the <br />mine operation is the reduction of some big game winter range. The total project will <br />remove approximately 105 acres from the production, but due to on-going reclamation of <br />backfilled azeas of the pit and maximum disturbance at any one time is estimated at about <br />75 acres. <br />• Golden Eagles aze not expected to be impacted to the same degree as Bald Eagles since it <br />is assumed from experience with resident Golden Eagles in other areas of Colorado that <br />they aze not obligatory winter carrion eaters. The permit area does not offer good roost <br />sites or nesting habitat. The permit area does offer suitable hunting grounds which may be <br />enhanced when they aze opened up and resident rodents and rabbits aze displaced. The <br />open nature of the proposed revegetated areas should offer improved hunting habitat (also <br />applies to other rapture species) until, through succession, the area returns to a <br />predominantly pinyon juniper climax community. New powerline construction undertaken <br />by OEI will be in conformance with REA Bulletin 61-10 to prevent rapture electrocution. <br />To the degree that the concerns of the DOW can be accommodated by the requirements of <br />the post-mining land uses, the fish and wildlife plan for the reclamation of the mine will do <br />so. <br />2.05.6(31 Protection of the Hvdrolo¢ic Balance <br />Appropriate maps and cross sections relative to the ground water and surface water <br />hydrology have been provided in Section 2.04.7. Backfilling, grading, retopsoiling, and <br />subsequent revegetation will re-establish landforms consistent with those adjacent to the <br />mine.
