Our goal in responding to land use <br /> proposals such as this is to provide complete, consistent, and timely information to all <br /> entities who request comments on matters within our statutory authority. <br /> Colorado Parks and Wildlife recommends a 250 meter buffer around Townsend's big-eared bat <br /> roost sites. The Townsend's big-eared bat is a state species of concern, and is susceptible to <br /> disturbance. The bat is known to occur near mining areas, specifically near the Cripple Creek <br /> and Victor Gold Mine. The following recommendation could be included in section 2.3. <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to comment on your Wildlife Protection Plan. If you have any <br /> questions or require additional information please contact District Wildlife Manager Tim <br /> Kroening at 719-227-5281 or via e-mail Tim.Kroenin@state.co.us. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Frank McGee <br /> Area Wildlife Manager <br /> Cc: SE Region Files <br /> Area 14 Files <br /> T.
