During the operator's work periods on the <br />property, a number of deer have been seen. Other species may be <br />present. <br />Tlie planned development use of the property, i.e. industrial <br />operation, on the floor area undoubtedly vaill preclude that area <br />as suitable wildlife habitat. The benches to be revegetated may <br />provide, largely by chance, some suitable habitat for certain <br />species. The improvement of wildlife habitat is not a part of <br />this plan.
