• 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 MRCS 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.
