<br />S~,/ EXHIBIT D <br />Cooper Pit: <br />a. Wildlife: <br />Currently and historically, this site has not been frequented ]~y <br />~' any large game species. Occassional occurrance may exist with <br />small game species such as the Ring-necked Pheasant and Cottontail <br />Rabbit. However, habitat for these species is abundant adjacent <br />to the site and no adverse impacts are expected. <br />A variety of non-game birds, small mammals and reptiles may al:;o <br />frequent the site, but again, habitat for these species is abw~dant <br />and adjacent to the site. <br />There are no endangered species of any type in this aroa. <br />Source: Private communication, Bert Widhalm, C.D.O.W., Conservation <br />Officer. <br />b. Water resources: <br />This site receives approximately seven (7) inches of precipitation <br />per year. There are no water courses of any type on or adjacent to <br />the site. Erosion resulting from surface run--off is minimal to <br />non-existant. <br />Ground water levels remain fairly constant in this area despite <br />increased irrigation during the spring and summer months. 7'lie <br />distance to ground water is estimated to be -greater than fifteen <br />(15) feet year around. <br />Source: U.S.G.S.
