Althouse <br />Mine Lngineer <br />KeensbUrg Mine <br />P.O. Box 359 <br />Keensburg, Colorado 80643 <br />Dear Mr. Althouse: <br />Not Region <br />317 W. Prospect Street <br />Ft. Collins, CO 80576 <br />July 7, 1986 <br />M <br />I have received your questions concerning reclamation measures for wildlife habitat <br />and raptor perches. <br />There are a number of species of wildlife that are involved in the area of your mine. <br />The more common species are deer, antelope, coyote, badger, fox, rabbits, skunks, <br />several species of small rodents as well as several species of raptors and seasonal <br />Kongbirds_ <br />• diversity of plants in the reclamation you are doing should mitigate the losses <br />to wildlife habitat and should also enhance it for some species. <br />In the unworked area of the mine, about the only raptor perches were and are, the <br />fence posts. However, the power line has produced some additional perches. These <br />should be adequate for the raptor hunting. It was noticed while on the area that <br />rodents are making considerable use of the reseeded area, which is also making <br />excellent raptor hunting. <br />Sine ely, <br />D n Bogart <br />Environmental Biologist <br />DB/lj <br />0 <br />129 a <br />4.rA1111,11 N1 U!
