4. Presence and Estimated Population of Threatened and Endangered species in the area. <br />None. <br />5. Fish Resources <br />None. <br />6. General Effects of the Operation on the Existing Wildlife of the Area <br />Gravel extraction and crushing activities will no doubt create some disturbance to animals near the <br />site. However, resident wildlife will generally become habituated to these activities. Migrating <br />animals will probably avoid the site, but the proposed pit does not block any known migratory routes, <br />and wildlife should be able to move through the area unimpeded. Due to the possibility for <br />animal/vehicle collisions, hauling activities will probably pose the biggest threat to wildlife. Haul <br />trucks should keep to posted speeds and drivers need to remain aware of the potential for collisions. <br />As the pit progresses from the north to south, the northern portions will be reclaimed and irrigated, <br />thus minimizing the full disturbance impacts. <br />Haldorson Sand and Gravel Mine 41 <br />
