Banks and Gesso. LLC <br />Exhibit H - Wildlife Information <br />The proposed 51-acre site consists of an existing 13-acre gravel pit, a one-acre road, <br />and 37 acres of undisturbed rangeland. The short grass prairie environment varies in <br />wildlife habitat quality from good to fair. No trees or shrubs exist on the site. Cropland in <br />the drainage ways and creek areas of Patterson Hollow to the northwest may be more <br />attractive to wildlife. As a result, the proposed permit site does not contain any <br />significant wildlife values. <br />For the previous 111 permit application, the Division of Wildlife performed a wildlife <br />evaluation for three sections of land containing and surrounding the site. Please refer to <br />that evaluation on the following page. <br />In general, the mining operation will have no effect on wildlife during the proposed <br />operation. The site will be mined in phases on an intermittent basis as the applicant <br />performs construction projects in the Rocky Ford area. Concurrent reclamation will limit <br />the disturbed area. <br />Following reclamation as rangeland, the site will be generally suitable for wildlife uses <br />similar to the pre-mining condition. <br />All-Rite Paving & Redi-Mix, Inc. 09002 <br />Proctor Pit 16 July, 2009
