EXHIBIT H - Wildlife Information <br />Notice has been given to the local wildlife conservation officer concerning the proposed 112 - <br />gravel pit. We anticipate no significant impacts to local wildlife species or wildlife habitats will <br />occur because of the existence of this pit. Final reclamation at the site should actually stimulate <br />wildlife in the area. <br />Common species that occur in northeast Colorado could include bird species of Cassin's <br />sparrow, chestnut collared longspur, lark bunting, horned lark, mourning doves, western <br />meadowlark, ferruginous and Swainsan's hawks, and pheasants. Small mammals that might be <br />found include cottontail, white - tailed and black - tailed jackrabbit, badger, pronghorn antelope, <br />coyote, swift fox, plains pocket gopher, long- tailed weasel, and several species of mice. Reptiles <br />might include the western rattlesnake, race snake, western box turtle, and six -lined racerunner. <br />Deer common to Phillips County may be found at the site from time to time. <br />
