SECTION H - WILDLIFE <br />The subject area, especially along the river, does <br />provide abundant cover for wildlife habitats. The following <br />mammals have been observed on numerous occasions: mice, <br />Norway or Brown rat, red fox, skunks and a few muskrats. <br />All of the above animals are quite common in Colorado, with <br />two of them considered severe pests (mice and Norway or <br />Brown rat).- <br />Of the Avian Species, numerous ducks frequent the area, <br />again mainly along the river. Many unidentified Fringillids <br />(sparrow forms and finchs) were also observed. The large <br />cottonwoods along the river provide habitat for a number of <br />magpies. Present ponds and abandoned gravel=pit lakes <br />provide habitat for Great Blue Herrons, geese and shore <br />birds. <br />There will be no channelizing of the river bed or removal <br />of trees, shrubs and other vegetation along the Cache La <br />Poudre River which would eliminate any wildlife population <br />that exist there today. Any alteration to the area will <br />provide "stream improvement" and provide additional habitat <br />for water birds. <br />Impact and Reclamation <br />Reclamation of the subject property will include planting <br />of additional trees, shrubs and grasses. A lake area of <br />128.539 acres will be added to existing lakes and ponds. <br />In addition, the lake will add a new form of wildlife; <br />namely, fish, to the future enjoyment and recreational use <br />for the area. <br />Conclusion <br />The proposed mining activity will not have any significant <br />impact upon Colorado wildlife. <br />On the contrary, the reclamation program will enhance, <br />add and open new habitats for wildlife and at the same time <br />it will provide additional natural recreational resources <br />for Man. <br />-11-
