lclMME1 <br />State.co.us Executive Branch Mail - Re: Bowie 2 Spruce Stomp a )pansion <br />From: Bowles - DNR, Brock [mailto: brock,bowles@state.co.us] <br />Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2014 12:10 PM <br />To: emmohr @att.net <br />Cc: Susan Burgmaier; Sandy Brown; Alysha Hernandez <br />Subject: Fwd: Bowie 2 Spruce Stomp expansion <br />Hi Eric, <br />Here is a summary of the phone call we had yesterday afternoon. <br />Bowie 2 needs baseline data for all possible disturbed plant communities (Rule 2.04. 10) and a Threatened <br />and Endangered Species review. <br />As for the reference area, we discussed two possibilities: <br />1) Extended reference area - the pre - mining vegetation types within the the disturbed plant communities are <br />weighted based on disturbed area to calculate the reclamation standard. <br />2) Rangeland /meadow reference area - It is not clear in the Bowie 2 Permit if a change in vegetation <br />community has been approved by the land owner(s) for this expansion area of the mine. <br />- The PMLU is the same as the pre- mining land use but the veg community will be different - Rule <br />4.15.7(3)(b)(iii). <br />- The current land owner(s) authorizes the change in veg community - Rule 2.05.5(2)(b). <br />- Management of reference area - Rule 4.15.7(3)(b)(ii). <br />- Approval letter from Colorado Parks and Wildlife for reclamation plan - Rule 4.15.8(7) <br />- Using more than one meadow area as a reference area to account for the possibility of not having <br />management control over the reference area and reclaimed areas during bond release. <br />If you have any questions or comments please don't hesitate to contact me. <br />Brock Bowles <br />https: / /mai l.g oog le.com/mai I /u /0 / ?ui =2 &i Ire29129fcb5 &�iewr pt &search =i nbox&th= 145ce5e03c3e2104 &si ml= 145ce5e03c3e2104 3/4 <br />
