The Division received comments from Boulder County Parks and Open Space in <br /> regard to wildlife surveys conducted at the Lyons Quarry. Please review the <br /> attached comments and explain how the Operator intends to address the concerns <br /> expressed by Boulder County Parks and Open Space. <br /> Response: <br /> The comments from Boulder County Parks and Open Space (BCPOS) indicate an <br /> interest in maintaining the availability of suitable habitat for Northern Leopard frogs <br /> and several bat species identified on the Hall 2 property. The BCPOS comments <br /> are based on a multiple year survey effort that recommends maintaining some <br /> level of presence of the mine retention pond that appears critical for the Northern <br /> Leopard frogs and bat species. <br /> BCPOS comments state that other ponds within the mine site footprint are <br /> providing important water sources and gives the example of the identified 'Pool V <br /> "that is of extreme importance to the little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus) maternity <br /> colony just west of the Hall 2 property". <br /> The BCPOS comments also acknowledge an understanding that water rights are <br /> in question, and complicated, but the comments then state that any level of <br /> maintaining free standing water on site is strongly recommended. <br /> 12 <br /> hdrinc.com <br /> 1670 Broadway, Suite 3400, Denver,CO 80202-4824 <br /> (303)764-1520 <br />
