• -11- • <br />about .031 cubic feet per second, and the landowner has available <br />water rights that make up 2 cubic feet per second so that the . <br />water is there for their dust abatement, and they do have permits <br />on their air pollution permits, on their equipment. The wildlife <br />that's in the area--this is from the Division of Wildlife report-- <br />include deer, elk, water fowl, bald eagle, golden eagle, turkey <br />vultures, various song birds, small mammals and reptiles. And I <br />inspected the pit on the week of October 12 and I did see two <br />immature golden eagles hunting in the area. The only possible <br />effect on wildlife it might have is it would disturb their hunting <br />patterns. There are no roosting sites closeby so the noise won't <br />effect them in that manner, and the relative small size of the <br />area should not have a detrimental effect on these birds at all <br />that I can foresee. The proposed future use of the area is for <br />dry-land pasture, and reclamation--finished slopes will be three <br />to one--and reclamation will as far as possible occur as mining <br />occurs so that they don't wait until they are finished mining to <br />start reclamation, and they are going by the Soil Conservation <br />Service recommendations, and they will be reseeding with western <br />wheatgrass, smooth brome and sanifen and the pounds per acres on <br />western wheatgrass is 16 lb. per acres, smooth brome is 14 pounds, <br />sanifer is 12 pounds. They will use, the grassland drill will be <br />used to seed the area. It will not be irrigated, although if <br />they do chose to irrigate it, like I've mentioned, the landowner <br />does have sufficient water rights. I do have a letter from him. <br />!yard: You have the water, but how would they irrigate it? By sprinkler <br />system or something like that? <br />
