B6B Gravel Pit f3
Wildlife Species List:
See attached sheet for species that are known or likely to
occur on this property.
Endangered/ critical species/impacted:
Bald eagles that use the Eagle River area from late October
through April.
Critical habitats/vegetative communities impacted:
Riparian habitats along the Eagle River, and the two
riparian drainages that run from just north of the railroad
tracks, (one located in the SW corner of the property and
draining to the NW, and the other starting in the SE corner of
• the property and meandering northward).
Assessment of impact:
If the operation does not extend pass the northerly toe of
the hill to the Eagle River, there should not be any negative
wildlife impact to the Eagle River riparian area. Catch basins
&/or berms should be constructed to ensure that run off from the
mining operation does not get into the riparian zone.
The mining operation should not destroy the other two
riparian areas that cross the property. Mitigation measures
should also be utilized to ensure run off from the mining
activity does not enter these two riparian zones.
There should not be any mining, storage, parking, or
vegetation removal in any of the riparian areas. A deadline for
the mining operation and associated activities should be employed
so that prolonged wildlife disturbances will be limited.
If the above mitigation measures are implemented then
wildlife impacts caused by this project will be minimal.
!tine Reclamation recommendations (include key species habitats
for which restoration is designed).
