. 5. Fish Resources <br />In addition to the endangered fish species discussed above, Rainbow Trout, Common Sucker, <br />Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass and Cazp can be found in this portion of the Colorado River. <br />These are not an endangered or threatened species. Given the fact that the river is further than 300 <br />feet away from the closest point of the permit area, and also that Interstate 70 sepazates the permit <br />from the river, there is no way that this operation could affect any fish populations in the river. <br />6. General Effects of the Operation on the Existing Wildlife of the Area <br />Various precautionary measures aze being taken to trap sediment and avoid contamination of waters <br />downstream during the mining operation. See Mining and Reclamation Plans. Overall, since the <br />post-mining site will create wetlands along the water surface (6.39 acres) and will provide <br />vegetation along the lake banks, it is definite that the reclamation of the site will improve the <br />• wildlife use of the site. <br />The operator and landowner commit to not placing any fish species or other species in the lake that <br />could threaten natural species in any surrounding waters. The operator and landowner will work <br />with the local CROW office on any concerns that could also be mitigated. <br /> <br />IS RoadPit 10/02 41 <br />
