' EXHIBIT H
W ildlif e
~ The permit azea is almost totally devoid of wildlife resources. Most of the azea
',' has been heavily grazed, leaving little vegetation and cover for wildlife species. The
only possible pazt of the azea that some wildlife species may inhabit is along Coal Creek,
' where there are some bushes and trees. The only species actually sighted here was a
' Red-tailed Hawk. Other probable species aze the Cottontail Rabbit, the Deer Mouse, the
Mourning Dove and the Bull Snake. The Colorado Division of Wildlife has this azea listed
as a winter habitat for the Mule Deer.
No protected wildlife species aze known to inhabit the area. Although some birds
' and small mammals may be displaced by mining, there will be no significant effects on
the wildlife ecology of the azea.
i' Possible wildlife species at or near the site aze included in TABLE II.
