Mine Type and Location <br />Canon Dolomite Quarry <br />3. Duration of Operation <br />70 yez.rs <br />4, Total Area Disturbed <br />400 acres (approximately 20 acres will be disturbed at any one time). <br />5. Wildlife Species List Mule deer, Mountain lion, Coyote, Fox, Cottontail rabbit, <br />Chukar, Ground squirrel, Rock squirrel, Crow, Magpie, Mourning dove, Pinon jay, <br />Sparrow, Red-tailed hawk. <br />6. Endangered Species Impacted <br />None <br />7. Assessment of Mining Impact on Wildlife <br />Loss of 400 acres is a significant loss of habitat, tl;e roads and associated <br />truck traffic cause some disturbance. However, because only approximately <br />20 acres will be disturbed at any one time, there will not be significant <br />• impacts on wildlife. It is recommended that the roads be locked during <br />working hours to reduce traffic and disturbance. <br />8. Proposed Mitigation Measures, Including Reclamation for Wildlife Habitat. <br />After completion of mining, the disturbed site should be graded to 3 to 1 <br />slope or less where possible. Any stockpiled topsoil should be redistri- <br />buted and seeded with native species of grasses and browse. Reseeding <br />according to the C.S.U. study will be acceptable. <br />Prepared by: Dwavne Finch _ Title: w.C.O. <br />Date: September 28 1977 <br />cc: R. Taliaferro, Environ. Res. <br />D.
