VIII. EXHIBIT H - WILDLIFE INFORMATION <br />Included in this exhibit ion on the following attached pages is a wildlife assessment <br />performed for the new expansion area by Savage and Savage Environmental during <br />September 2007. This wildlife assessment did not revisit current wildlife conditions for <br />the existing permitted area, which is almost completely mined out, nor for Ready Mixed <br />Pit No. 1, which will be incorporated into this permit, and which is already completely <br />mined out and reclaimed. <br />Conclusions from the Savage and Savage wildlife assessment include the following: <br />• "There is no significant wildlife habitat present on the site." <br />• The [proposed] mining and reclamation will create more diverse range of <br />habitat [than presently exists] on the site." <br />• Potential habitat for the Preble's meadow jumping mouse is considered <br />present at the site because of proximity to the South Platte River riparian <br />corridor, but the site is within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife block clearance area <br />for the Denver Metropolitan Area. <br />The complete wildlife assessment is provided on the following attached twelve (12) <br />pages. <br />43
