RAdo <br />vw <br />co <br />September 27, 2016 <br />0 ► _ �1 <br />Parks and Wildlife <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />Northwest Regional Office <br />711 Independent Avenue <br />Grand Junction, CO 81505 <br />Mr. Jared Ebert <br />Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />RE: CPW's comments for the Foidel Creek Mine Technical Revision No. 85 (TR -85) <br />Dear Mr. Ebert: <br />Thank you for giving Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) the opportunity to provide comments <br />for the Foidel Creek Mine Technical Revision No. 85. <br />CPW has reviewed the application, and it is our understanding that, if approved and <br />implemented, Technical Revision No.85 will revise the hydrologic monitoring plan, which <br />includes a proposal to deactivate the AVF-14, AVF-15 and the Jones Well alluvial groundwater <br />monitoring wells. In addition, Technical Revision No. 85 would result in the deactivation of <br />the SW -14 and SW -15 stream monitoring sites, and modify the stream monitoring schedule <br />during the months of March, August and September. At this time, CPW does not anticipate <br />the proposed activities associated with Technical Revision 85 will directly affect wildlife <br />species that occupy portions of the Foidel Creek Mine either seasonally or year-round. <br />Moreover, CPW does not recommend any additional site-specific mitigation. <br />CPW appreciates the opportunity to provide comments for the Foidel Creek Mine Technical <br />Revision No. 85. For additional information or to request clarification on CPW's comments, <br />please contact Brett Smithers, Land Use Specialist, at 970-878-6069. <br />Sincerely, <br />Kris Middledorf, Area Wildlife Manager <br />Cc.
