Corey Pit No. 3 <br />DMG t 12 Pernut Conversion Application <br />EXHIBIT H -Wildlife Information <br />This property has been cultivated farmland for many years. Wildlife consists of birds, small <br />mammals and reptiles found in and around agricultural activity. <br />a) The most significant wildlife on the property is songbirds, rabbits, and pheasants and <br />quail. There also are a variety of snakes and small rodents. Deer, raccoons, skunks, <br />foxes and coyotes occasionally cross the property. <br />b) The cultivated fields have not been planted in several years and are used by ground <br />nesting birds such as pheasants and quail in the spring. <br />c) There are no threatened or endangered species on this site. <br />d) This operation will have little effect on wildlife since most of the property has been <br />regularly disturbed by agricultural activity and mining.

A small amount of this area <br />will be disturbed during the mining operation. <br />
