T23S, R,57WT portions of Sec 19, 20, <br />and 21 <br />Wildlife Species List: <br />Antelope, mule deer, white-tailed deer, cottontail rabbit, black- <br />tailed jack rabbit, coyote, swift fox, red -tailed hawk, prairie <br />falcon, ferruginous hawk-, kestrel, meadowlark, lark bunting, vespe <br />sparrow, western boas turtle, bull snake, coach whip snake, eastern <br />fence lizard, prairie rattlesnake, and various song bards. <br />Endangered/Critical. Special/Impa;cte=d: <br />None Known. <br />Critical Habitats/Vegetative CormrLunities Impacted: <br />Short grass prairie varying in quality from good to fatir Includes <br />some choya, side oats gramma, Indian rice grass, koshia, bindweed, <br />buffalo grass, and yucca. The site is near farmland, though it <br />borders prairie in most areas. Isaw no prairie dogs on site, but <br />did see some nearby, this could change impacts some. <br />Assessment of Impact: - <br />As designed in 50 acre tracts impacts should be temporary with no <br />more than 100 acres being mined/reclaimed at any one time. All <br />topsoil should be stockpiled and stored for use during reclamatior <br />and seeded with a temporary seed min: to prevent loss from wind anc <br />water erosion. Reclaimed sites should be fenced to exclude use bl <br />livestock until bond is released. Reclaimed areas should be slope( <br />to approximate contours and drainage that existed prior to mining <br />as best as possible. <br />Nine Reclamation Reconmendations (include key species/habitats foa <br />which restoration is designed) : <br />Plant native short grass grasses, forbs, and shrubs as per NRCSIf <br />prairie dogs move into the site I would recommend not digging up <br />new areas with burrows except from October through February, to <br />protect burrowing owle. The plan of not excavating more than 50 <br />acres at a time would be v'ery helpful. I would recommend that the <br />50 acre tracts be rec=laimed as soon ae possible after a new tract <br />is started. <br />Prepared By: <br />Steve Keefer <br />Date: 17 June 2004 <br />?e/ 7 <br />pate: 2 i July 2004 <br />Submitted By: Travis Blac <br />This statement is void if not processed within 1 year. <br />This analysis does, not conatitute approval of application.
