Endangered Species Impacted <br />None known . <br />' 7. Assessment of Mining Impact on 'rildlife <br />There will be very little negative impact on terrestrial wildlife with the <br />' proposed reclamation plan. The Division of Wildlife is conserned with impacts <br />on the trout fishery in the river, however. The effluent could have negative <br />impacts on the Brown and Rainbow trout fishery occurring in the Arkansas River <br />next to this operation. The silt load carried by this effluent should be <br />' minimized as much as possible. <br />' 8. Proposed Mitigation PAeasures, Including Declamation for Yildlife Habitat. <br />The proposed reclamation plan is adequate for wildlife. Waterfowl usage <br />of the south pond would probably be increased by planting a row of trees <br />' along one side of the dike between the two ponds. These trees would act as <br />visual screen and reduce the impact of mining or marine equipment testing <br />cn waterfowl using the south pond. <br /> <br />' Prepared by: Jack VayhinRer, Dwayne Finch Title: Wildlife Biol., IJ.C.O. <br />Date: October 20, 1977 <br />' cc: R.
