EXHIBIT H -Wildlife Information <br />Notice has been sent to the local wildlife conservation officer concerning the proposed <br />112 gravel pit. The report from the Washington County Conservation Service indicates <br />that there may be wildlife at or around the site. The report indicates that the species of <br />grasses that currently grow at the site might induce a number of wildlife from time to <br />time. The report cites common bird species of Cassin's sparrow, chestnut collared <br />longspur, lark bunting, western meadowlark, and ferruginous and Swainsan's hawks. <br />Small mammals that might be found include white-tailed and back-tailed jackrabbit, <br />badger, pronghorn antelope, coyote, swift fox, plains pocket gopher, long-tailed weasel, <br />and several species of mice. Reptiles might include the western rattlesnake, race snake, <br />western box turtle, and six-lined racerunner. The report indicates that other animals and <br />birds common to Washington County could also be found at the site from time to time. <br />Based upon several visits to the site, no significant wildlife was observed. The <br />site also adjoins many thousands of acres which harbor the same wildlife. The applicant <br />anticipates no significant impact on wildlife. <br />10 <br />
