2.05.6 (21 Fish and Wildlife Plan <br />• As described in Section 2.04.11, Fish and Wildlife Resources Information, surface <br />disturbance associated with mining and related operations at the Raton Creek Mine will <br />involve such limited areas that it will have no significant impact on any fish or wildlife. In <br />addition, as documented by a letter fmm the Colorado Division of Wildlife, no threatened, <br />endangered, or protected species are known to exist in the mine or immediately adjacent <br />areas. While no specific wildlife impacts aze anticipated, EFMC's mining and reclamation <br />plans have been designed to protect and enhance any wildlife resources which may exist <br />within surface disturbance areas. Specific measures which will be used to accomplish this <br />objective include the following: <br />- Minimizing surface disturbance <br />- Preventing contamination of water resources <br />- Reestablishment of natural topographic configuration <br />- Use of palatable species in seed mixtures and transplanting of woody plant species <br />on reclaimed areas <br />• EFMC recognizes that certain short term impacts will be unavoidable in the immediate <br />disturbance areas. However, EFMC's operations will not result in destruction of any <br />critical habitat values, are not expected to impact any threatened or endangered species, <br />and will not significantly reduce the population of any given specie. <br />Short term impacts are expected to be effectively mitigated by the availability of extensive <br />areas of similar habitat surrounding the disturbance and EFMC's comprehensive <br />reclamation plan. Upon completion of reclamation, mine disturbance areas will exhibit a <br />similar configuration and offer similar forage and habitat values to those which existed in <br />the pre-mining environment. Backfilling and grading activities have resulted in <br />establishment of gradual slopes which blend with the surrounding terrain and present no <br />restrictions to wildlife access. Topsoil replacement and revegetation measures will result <br />in a diverse vegetative community with browse and cover characteristics consistent with <br />wildlife requirements. <br /> <br />541 Revised: 2/27/98 <br />d6iess-RcrisiaH~-19" <br />~N-v3 9-~'_9g <br />
