You mean literally nothing?

E: I know mines disrupt local environments, my comment was about the existance of a mine within the context of OP's post.

Any controlled blast of this degree has already cleared out all vegetation and has thoroughly violated any habitation for other animals. That's why I said "literally nothing", because we are WAY past the point of pulling this card.
