wire (can be barbed) at 30-inches to prevent entanglement of wildlife, 3. Third wire (can be <br /> barbed) at 23-inches, and 4. Smooth bottom wire at least 16-inches high to allow pronghorn <br /> to cross below. <br /> Noxious weeds pose a threat to native wildlife habitat anytime the soil is disturbed. Please <br /> consider monitoring and controlling any noxious weeks that may become present on the <br /> proposed site to avoid further damage and the spreading of such noxious weeds. <br /> Reclamation of the parcel following the completion of the gavel extraction would help return <br /> the parcel to useable wildlife habitat. Successful reclamation of large areas are often very <br /> difficult in the area of the proposed project due to drought, the potential for large blowing <br /> events caused by wind, and other conditions. CWP recommends mining disturbances be <br /> reduced from the planned 100-acres to smaller tracts, unless there are other underlying <br /> reasons for the planned 100-acre disturbances. Smaller disturbances would help with <br /> successful reclamation. CPW did not find a proposed seed mix in the permit application. CPW <br /> would appreciate the opportunity to review the planned seed mix prior to implementation. If <br /> a seed mix has not been completed, CPW recommends a high diversity seed mix developed <br /> through consultation with CPW and NRCS. <br /> CPW appreciates the opportunity to provide comment on the proposed project of the Mattics <br /> Pit and the interest in Colorado's wildlife. Please feel free to the local District Wildlife <br /> Manager Jared Lamb (719-340-0279) or the Lamar Service Center (719-336-6600) with any <br /> questions or would like clarification on any comment or recommendation. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Todd Marriott <br /> Area Wildlife Manager <br /> (719-688-9241) <br /> cc: Jared Lamb, District Wildlife Manager <br /> Karen Voltura, SE Energy Liaison and Land Use Specialist <br /> File <br />
