Conclusions <br />From data collected to date it can be concluded that species of wildlife will be impacted <br />by loss of habitat during mining. The severity and duration of impacts will be dependent upon <br />the species, habitat types lost and the effectiveness of the reclamation measures. No threatened <br />or endangered species are expected to be impacted from the mining or reclamation activities. <br />Based upon the fmdings to date the proposed mitigation measures (see Fish and Wildlife <br />Management Plan and Reclamation sections) will minimize short term impacts to wildlife and <br />subsequently result in improved habitat that will result in long term beneftis to wildlife. <br />Highly mobile species such as deer, elk and grouse are not expected to be significantly <br />impacted. These species use the areas to be mined at lower or <br />2.7-2a Revised 11/06 <br />
