the permit, additional activities are not expected to modify critical <br />habitat of any endangered or threatened plant species. <br />• <br />2.04.11 Fish and Wildlife Resources Information <br />The mine site occupies land which is immediately adjacent <br />to the Middle Fork of the Purgatoire River in what is locally termed <br />"Stonewall Valley". The physical developments related to the <br />underground mining of coal include the east and west mine portals with <br />accompanying buildings and related activities; and the refuse disposal <br />areas resulting from nearly 30 years of mining. These structures, <br />activities and refuse areas occupy approximately 155 acres within a <br />strip which straddles the Middle Fork for a distance of nearly two <br />miles. The midpoint of mine activity is roughly 1.5 miles west of the <br />confluence of the Middle and North Forks at Vigil, Colorado. <br />A study of the fish and wildlife and their habitats has been <br />completed by Dwight R. Smith of Colorado State University, Fort <br />• Collins, Colorado. This study covers the general permit area which <br />will be affected by the Golden Eagle Mine through the life of the <br />operation. Site specific information and literature are included as <br />Exhibit 16, Fish and Wildlife Information. <br />To supplement the existing fish and wildlife study conducted <br />by Dwight R. Smith of CSU in 1980, (Exhibit 16, Fish and Wildlife <br />Information), a site reconnaissance survey was conducted on January <br />18 and 19, 1984. This visit provided habitat evaluation and mapping, <br />a raptor and big game survey, and general species occurrence for the <br />surface facilities expansion area. Observations were made by <br />recording sitings of species, scat, tracks, nests or dens, and other <br />sign. No statistical data was collected during the reconnaissance. <br />Vegetation of the area dictates wildlife habitat. As shown <br />on Map 10, vegetation, conifer shrub, mountain shrub, disturbed area, <br />and riparian/stream habitats occur within the permit area. Because <br />• of previous mining activities and other human disturbance, these <br />habitats within the existing mine facilities are not considered to be <br />2.04-47 (Revised O1-04-94) <br />
