activities and the establishment of invasive and exotic weed species. Impacts associated with <br />disturbance of this habitat is likely to have minor impacts to wildlife species as many of the species <br />utilizing habitats on the property (e.g., rabbits, coyotes, skunks, raccoon, rodents) are habitat <br />generalists, meaning they are not tightly restricted to specific habitat types, and higher quality <br />habitats are located in close proximity to the proposed project area. In addition, although some of <br />the resident wildlife species utilizing the property may be temporarily displaced by the proposed <br />mining activity, final reclamation would provide more diverse and higher quality habitat for wildlife <br />currently utilizing the site and would likely draw many other species. <br />Colorado Division of Wildlife Recommendations <br />B&A biologists contacted Brandon Muller, District Wildlife Manager for the Colorado Division of <br />Wildlife, in January 2009. In addition, Brandon also met with B&A biologists in-person during the <br />field survey on February 5, 2009. Survey techniques were discussed and approved by Brandon on <br />this date, and wildlife species that potentially utilize the area were confirmed. <br />Greeley 35`h Avenue Mine (M-1977-036) <br />DRMS 112 Reclamation Permit Amendment Application <br />Page H7 of H9
