• EXHIBIT H <br />WILDLIFE INFORMATION <br />This area is occupied by two related but different <br />habitat areas. The Schmidt area is contiguous with and <br />essentially identical to the area included in the original <br />application to the north. Therefore the wildlife resources <br />on the Schmidt area is the same as it is on the original <br />area. The wildlife on the Cline area is somewhat different <br />because the vegetation and topography is also different. <br />The Cline area probably has more rabbits and song bird <br />species, but the shrublands here are not extensive enough to <br />support any large differences. <br />Two Division of Wildlife evaluations are included. One <br />is the same as is found in the original pit area. The other <br />covers the Cline area in Section 24. A.s can be seen, the <br />species list differences are very small and, because of the <br />qualitative nature of the species list, the differences are <br />probably of little significance. This fundamental <br />similarity of the two areas is reflected in the assessments. <br />Both state that the Division of Wildlife does not expect the <br />• negative impacts to be of significance. <br />Habitat loss and displacement of the existing wildlife <br />will be the only impact. Although such an impact cannot be <br />mitigated during the operation, the reclamation work will <br />basically return the area to a condition so most of these <br />species could live there again. <br /> <br />- 20 - <br />
