Russell <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />1313Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Dear Mr. Russell, �'Iz0 4- 051 <br />The Colorado Department of Parks and Wildlife (CPW) has reviewed your request for <br />comments regarding wildlife impacts from the permitting of the Franson Family <br />Partnership 110 pit construction materials reclamation permit at the following location: <br />- Section 31, Township 5N, Range 48W. <br />A site visit to the location was conducted and it has been determined that there will be no <br />significant impacts to local wildlife species or wildlife habitats. <br />If during construction wildlife species, dens or nests are encountered we recommend that <br />you contact the local District Wildlife Manager or a Colorado Parks and Wildlife Office <br />as soon as possible to avoid the accidental take of that species. The CPW also <br />recommends that proper measures be taken to prevent the establishment and spread of <br />noxious weeds during the life of the gravel mine. When the mine is no longer in use we <br />recommend that you contact the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) <br />field office for suggestions regarding seed mixes and proper re- vegetation methodologies. <br />On behalf of the CPW, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to review and <br />comment on these projects. If you have any further questions, please feel free to call <br />District Wildlife Manager Josh Melby at (970) 848 -0683. <br />Sincerely, <br />Josh Melby <br />Rect.- <br />FD <br />DI f OCT 0'2'7014 <br />. <br />or F� aTi <br />0 SA.1, ON <br />STATE OF COLORADO <br />John W.
