WILDLIFE INFORMATION EXHIBIT H <br />An analysis of wildlife in the area was performed by the Colorado Division of Wildlife for the <br />neighboring Bunn Ranch Pit in 1980. The presence of the Bunn Ranch Pit for over a decade <br />means that wildlife in the area are used to the disturbance of a gravel mining operation. <br />Therefore, it is not believed that the presence of the Gehrman Pit will cause any additional <br />disruption to the local wildlife. <br />1. Significant Game Resources on the Affected Lands <br />A variety of rabbits, foxes, and similar small mammals use the site as well as mule deer and elk. <br />2. Significant Non-Game Resources on the Affected Lands <br />Shrew, chipmunk, gopher, vole, mouse, duck species and songbirds use the area to some extent. <br />3. Seasonal Use of Affected Lands <br />Most of the significant wildlife use the site year around <br />4.
