6.4.8 Exhibit H -Wildlife Information
• 6.4.8.4 POTENTIAL EFFECTS
The project will affect some individual small mammals and songbirds that live on
the site. However, species using the site are relatively common and the habitat
types present are common in the project vicinity. Because the same habitat
types occur on adjacent and other properties in the area, the same wildlife
species probably occur on these lands. Therefore, populations of wildlife species
using the project area are unlikely to be significantly affected by mining activities.
The project is unlikely to affect PMJM, because suitable habitat for this species is
not present in the project area.
The project is unlikely to affect bald eagles, because nesting, roosting and
perching habitat is not present, and potential food sources on the site are scarce.
The project is unlikely to affect black-footed ferrets, because this species habitat
for this species is not present within the proposed permit area.
The project will not affect black-tailed prairie dogs, because none are present in
the project area.
