Mine Type and Location <br />Sand and Gravel N;, SE ;, SW;, Sec 31, T6N, R65W <br />3. Duration of Operation <br />Indefinite <br />4. Total Area Disturbed <br />90 Acres (Approximately) <br />5. Wildlife Species List <br />Coyote, fox, oppossum, skunk, deer, muskrat, squirrel, pheasant, <br />crow, magpie, raptors, waterfowl, small rodents and numerous <br />I songbirds and nongame birds. <br />6. Endangered Species Impacted <br />No known threatened or endangered species. <br />'7. Assessment of Mining Impact on Wildlife <br />Presently; most of the land is row cropped, with wildlife habitat <br />along the Poudre River in a riparian type situation. Most of the <br />cover type habitat along the river will not be disturbed, so the <br />impact on wildlife will be minimal. <br />8. Proposed Mitigation Measures Including Reclamation for Wildlife Habitat <br />Upon completion of the mining the lakes will be developed into an open <br />space - park atmosphere. The shore lines and waste areas are to be reclaimed <br />to SCS specifications. However, to enhance the use by wildlife, trees <br />and shrubby plantings should be used for nesting and cover habitat <br />' for the many species of birds and small mammals. The lakes should have <br />the banks sloped properly and they also have a•very good potential for <br />a fisheries development. <br /> <br />' Prepared by Title Environmental Biologist <br />Don Bogart <br />Dace June 1, 1978 <br />1 • <br /> <br />
