We find that <br />Exhibit H accurately presents the wildlife situation around the mine <br />site. Note that we are requesting that the applicant record all <br />wildlife mortality due to their haul trucks. Such information is <br />essential for the wildlife manager. Management is extremely <br />difficult if such factors as road kill are not quantified. We will <br />examine the reports and the reporting practice can be abandoned <br />if the results prove to be insignificant after one year. <br />AFW:jb <br />cc: Clark <br />File <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, Harris Sherman, Executive Director • WILDLIFE COMMISSION, Sam Caudill, Chairman <br />Michael Higbee, Vice Chairman • Jay K.
