1fINED LAND WILDLIFE STATE*fENT/El'ALUATION (Revised) <br />for limited impact and select regular mine applications <br />:ne following information pertaining to wildlife is provided for use by Hined Land <br />~ma[ion Board in their consideration of a mining permit for: <br />Butala Const~n,ction Company Inc Whi Marbl Ouarrv S[1~- mf SPrtinn 14 TSnN R(,F, N~.1pM <br />Name/Type and Location of Hine (Legal) <br />~ildlife Species list: Elk, mule deer, Lroyote, marniot, assorted small maitmals, blue grouse, <br />assorted small birds. <br />=-,?angered/critical species/impacted; <br />None known. <br />Critical habitats/vegetative communities impacted: The area to be mined is fairly fragile <br />subalpine/alpine on a steep slope with the dominant tree species being bristlecone pine, <br />and Engelmarm spruce with associated vegetation. <br />.'ssessment of impact: the area is presently being mined, with about 2 acres affected. All <br />covering vegetation will be lost, and there is potential for considerable erosion of the <br />exposed steep hillside, and subsequent increased siltation into Taylor Gulch which drains <br />the area, feeding into the South Arkansas River, a decent fishery. <br />"'ne Reclamation recommendations (include key species/habitats for which restoration <br />.s designed). Care must be taken during the mining operation to minimize erosion, and <br />after mining, I would recommend resloping the mined area, and revegetation with a <br />a seed mix recommended by the Soil Conservation Service. <br />:e~zred By: Ron Dobsonl_D~~~SiFt:.Wildlife [+Iar,ager Date: July 30. 1987 <br />'.'=-`tied B~•: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Date: <br />_= state-cnt is void is not prnc~•-.[ci ,.ithin 1 ~car._- ----^-------- <br />--._s ~aal~•sis does not censti[~~t~r ~-.~:r.~:a1 of application. <br />
