• A stockpile of topsoil should be set aside for reclamation purposes. This stockpile <br /> should also be temporarily seeded to minimize erosion losses, and then spread over <br /> the affected area prior to seeding with native grasses, forbs, and shrubs. <br /> • it is recommended that livestock be excluded from the site until such time as the site <br /> is released and the bond returned. <br /> • A noxious weed plan should also be developed and implemented to eliminate the <br /> establishment of invasive noxious weeds throughout the mining period. <br /> • It is recommended that any fence construction follow wildlife friendly fencing <br /> specifications which can be provided upon request. <br /> • The 100' buffer from the riparian habitat should be sufficient. <br /> • Contact NRCS for an appropriate seed mix that contains native species of grasses and <br /> forbs for any erosion control or reclamation. <br /> Although disturbance to the habitat is likely, the overall impact to wildlife species should be <br /> concentrated to a limited area, and can be further reduced if the previous recommendations <br /> are followed. <br /> The Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife would like to thank you for the opportunity to <br /> comment on this issue.
