Schipper of the Colorado Division of Wildlife):
There are no known threatened or endangered species in the area.
3. Assessment of mining impact on wildlife:
SPECIFIC SITE (From report of 4 FEB 1977 examination of area by Don Bogart and Dean
Schipper of the Colorado Division of Wildlife):
"Probably, the greatest impact on wildlife would be the destruction of the mahogany contained
in the overburden. However, this would not be considered as serious, as the deposit is on top
of a dome and there is very little utilization of the browse plants on top of the domes. This is
due to the fact that there is excellent forage lower down in the draws, which also afford better
cover."
[Individual areas of] "The mine will probably not be in operation for an extended period of
years and should, therefore, be back in production [for livestock and wildlife fodder] in a few
years. So the effect on resident wildlife should be rather minimal." (Information in brackets
added by N. Barton as explanation.)
4. Proposed mitigation measures, including reclamation, for wildlife habitat:
a. Inclusion of mountain mahogany in the seed mix for the site. (Scattered clumps of skunk
bush should reseed themselves from surrounding areas.)
b. Design of storm water drainage to protect moisture in lower draws to allow continued
excellent forage in these areas.
