Rincon Partners,the applicant, would first like to thank your personnel, Brian Wodrich and Danielle Neumann, for taking the time to meet with us on site as well as work with us to design implementable best management practices for the proposed operation. Their effort and time are appreciated. Based on the discussions onsite with Mr. Wodrich and Ms. Neumann, Rincon Partners will institute the following additional controls to the proposed operation known as Rincon Materials: 1. No mining, crushing,or screening of materials from April 15 to June 3)0 each year. 2. Rincon will maintain pathways from the upland areas down to the river for bighorn sheep to use. If necessary, during non-operational times, portions of the conveyor belt may be moved to accommodate these pathways. 3. All Rincon personnel will be trained to maintain at least 750' from any sighted game animals(bighorn sheep, mule deer,elk,etc.)that enter the area. In addition to these outlined specifies.Rincon acknowledges that if raptors(specifically peregrine falcons) move into close enough proximity to the operations at Rincon, further operation seasonal limits may become required. Rincon Partners is looking forward to continuing engagement with CPW throughout the life of the proposed operation. Rincoti 14aterials Jum,2020
