4. Floodplains, Areas of Unstable Geology, and Natural <br />• Hazards <br />There are no areas subject to frequent flooding in the <br />mining plan modification area. The canyon walls of the <br />North Fork are covered with numerous landslide deposits, A <br />study conducted in 1986 concluded that the general mass <br />movement mechanism was small, shallow slope failures rather <br />than large, deep failures. The report also concluded that <br />landslide features above the Bear No. 3 Mine are currently <br />unstable and that failures will occur regardless of <br />subsidence effects. There are no slide bodies of concern in <br />the mining plan modification area. <br />5. Threatened or Endangered Species <br />The northern bald eagle is a winter resident along the <br />North Fork, and is the only rare or endangered wildlife <br />species in the area. The North Fork River is in the <br />Upper Colorado River Basin. Endangered fishes <br />inhabiting the Colorado River could be jeopardized by <br />water depletions in the Upper Colorado River Basin. <br />6. Migratory Birds of High Federal Interest <br />In addition to bald eagles, other raptors use the area for <br />• nesting and as a prey base. BCC conducted a raptor survey <br />for nesting in rock outcrops above the proposed workings and <br />found no evidence of any raptor nesting. <br />7. Renewable Resources and Unique Agricultural Values <br />No unique agricultural values, including prime farmlands, <br />occur in the mining plan modification area. The area has <br />some stands of Aspen and Douglas fir, but it is managed as <br />wildlife habitat. <br />8. Recreational Resources <br />There are no important fragile lands as defined in 30 CFR <br />§ 762.5 containing natural, ecologic, scientific aesthetic <br />resources, or natural systems in the permit and adjacent <br />areas. Mule deer and elk, the most prominent big game <br />species, utilize the mountain shrub habitat in and adjacent <br />to the mining plan modification area throughout the year, <br />thus the area may be used by hunters. <br />9. Social and Economic Values <br />The Bear No. 3 mine directly employs 50 people in the local <br />community and is part of a local economy that depends on the <br />mining industry as a substantial part of its support. <br />• 9 <br />
