~.8 EXHIBIT H -Wildlife Informati~ <br />The following letter from the Division of Wildlife dated February 14, 2000 presents a description <br />of the game and non-game resources on and in [he vicinity of the application area, including; <br />(a) A description of the significant wildlife resources on the affected land; <br />(b) seasonal use of the area; <br />(c) the presence and estimated population of threatened or endangered species from either <br />federal or state lists; and <br />(d) a description of the general effect during and after the proposed operation on the existing <br />wildlife of the area, including but not limited to temporary and permanent loss of food and <br />habitat, interference with migratory routes, and the general effect on the wildlife from <br />increased human activity, including noise. <br />The Colorado Division of Wildlife concludes: <br />"Overall, the mining operation should have limited short-term effects on the wildlife <br />species that use the area. This is of course assuming that the site will be adequately <br />reclaimed and at the lands use remains agricultural." <br />H-1 <br />
