WILDLIFE INFORMATION EXHIBIT H <br />1) Significant Game Resources on the Affected Lands <br />Mule deer and elk are probably the most critical game resource in this area. The current <br />landscape offers very little cover for deer, elk and other small mammals The area to the north of <br />the disturbed area has the Gunnison River with Cottonwood trees. <br />2. Significant Non-Game Resources on the Affected Lands <br />Fox, coyote and hawks are probably the most critical non-game resource in this area. Other small <br />animals will find cover in the pinion tree area. The lack of water within the affected land does <br />not allow significant use of the land by wildlife. There are no known raptor nests within the <br />permit area. <br />3. Seasonal Use of Affected Lands <br />The spring time will have higher uses of the land due to the higher precipitation producing better <br />forage for wildlife. <br />4.
