CO 9D57G <br />July 7, 198G <br />\IINq <br />`1l ~ ylJO <br />~i~~~~ Q, <br />ti OI ~~ <br />] have received your questions concerning reclamation measures for wildlife habitat <br />and raptor perches. <br />There are a number of species of wildlife that are involved in the area of your mine. <br />The more common species are deer, antelope, coyote, badger, fox, rabbits, skunks, <br />several species of small rodents as well as several species of raptors and seasonal <br /><ongbirds_ <br />•. diversity of plants in the reclamation you are doing should mitigate the losses <br />to wildlife habitat and should also enhance it for some species. <br />In the unworked area of the mine, about the only raptor perches were and are, the <br />fence posts. However, the power line has produced some additional perches. These <br />should be adequate for the raptor hunting. It was noticed while on the area that <br />rodents are making considerable use of the reseeded area, which is also making <br />excellent raptor hunting. <br />Sine ely, <br />D n Bogart <br />Environmental Biologist <br />DB/lj <br />• <br />129 a <br />rt.
