State Parks is slill intcre;ted in a manaaement pllrtnership with the Bureau of Reclamation <br />for the Animas-La Plaia project, similar to that at Ridgway SIale Park. Our concern is that <br />the high stnndard or quality in facility development be the same type as that recently <br />COIIStrw:led at Ridgway State Purk. <br /> <br />2. Slate Park~ abo has a concern with the relocation or CR 111, The dr"ft supplrmcnt state; <br />that the relocation of C.R.l11 would be done to "maintain controlled access to the recreation <br />area". From a recreatiun mllllllllClneut standpoint, it is critical to mllintain these controlled <br />accesses such that primarily only ~ of the recreatiun area 11~ theoe accessES. <br /> <br />3. State Park.~ feels the recreatiun facililics IL~led in the dr"ft supplemcntal are primarily <br />conceptlllll and thc rmal numbers and types uf facilities should more closely match existing <br />visitlltiun trcnd~ and 11'ie1' demands lIS the projlXt move; forward, i.e. the number of boat <br />slips, etc. <br /> <br />4. State Parks WllS plca~d to !lee that the Bocla pruperty WlIS to he totally replaced thrOOCh <br />mitillRtion, keeping thi$ area at the site avaiIable for habitat and for limited passive <br />recreation s\K:h a.s walchillll wildlife, etc. <br /> <br />This concludcs Slate Parks' comments on the propMed project and we thllnk you for the opportunity to have <br />thi~ chance for input. <br /> <br />KM:nnb <br /> <br />CC: Laurie Mathews, Director <br />Tom kenyon, As.~i~tant Director <br /> <br />....,- <br />
