9.0 EXHIBIT H -WILDLIFE INFORMATION <br />• <br />A Mined Land Wildlife Questionnaire will be submitted to the DOW as part of this <br />exhibit. Based on previous wildlife assessments prepared by the DOW in the general <br />area, species that are commonly found in the area include deer, pheasant, rabbits, <br />muskrat, beaver, waterfowl, raptors, rodents, magpies, and songbirds. While bald eagles <br />have recently been observed in the general area, no local bald eagle nesting sites have <br />been identified on or adjacent to the proposed mining area. <br />Some local wildlife species may be displaced from the area during operations; <br />however, they are expected to reestablish themselves when mining and reclamation have <br />been completed. The proposed mining and reclamation will not hinder local movement of <br />wildlife. Future water storage lakes are anticipated to provide valuable habitat to <br />waterfowl and migratory bird species. <br />Included with this permit application is a Wildlife Resources Assessment prepared <br />by: ERO Resources Corporation. See Appendices to this document. <br />L <br />•
