5. Fish Resources <br />In addition to the endangered fish species discussed above, Rainbow Trout, Common Sucker, <br />Channel Catfish, Lazgemouth Bass and Carp can be found in the Colorado River. These aze not <br />endangered or threatened species but are species of special concern. Given the fact that the river is <br />further than 600 feet away from the closest point of the permit azea, there is no way that this <br />operation could affect any fish populations in the river. <br />6. General Effects of the Operation on the Existing Wildlife of the Area <br />Various precautionary measures are being taken to trap sediment and avoid contamination of waters <br />downstream during the mining operation. See Mining and Reclamation Plans. <br />Overall, since the post-mining site will create wetlands (2.77 acres) along the water surface and will <br />provide vegetation along the lake banks, it is defmite that the reclamation of the site will im rp ove <br />the wildlife use of the site. <br />The operator and landowner commit to not placing any fish species or other species in the lake that <br />could threaten natural species in any surrounding waters. The operator and landowner will work <br />with the local CDOW office on any concerns that could also be mitigated. <br />Gilsonite Pit 10/02 29 <br />
