In February the US House of Representatives passed a bill that would designate the <br /> Grape Creek proposed wilderness as a formal Wilderness area.The areas form an important wildlife corridor- <br /> bighorn sheep are a species of special concern here-that provides fishing, hunting,camping,climbing,hiking <br /> and other recreational activities.The riparian areas along Grape Creek support a large number of wildlife <br /> species-Colorado Parks and Wildlife estimates that such riparian zones support 75%of Colorado's wildlife at <br /> some point in their life cycle-thus the riparian area is critical for local wildlife,such as the American peregrine <br /> falcon, identified by the State as a Species of Concern and by the US Fish and Willdlife Service as a Species of <br /> Conservation Concern. In short,the wildlife,scenic, recreational,and wilderness values are important enough <br /> that a gold mine should not be permitted in the area. <br /> Permit Number* <br /> Enter valid letter and then numbers,for example M122112211 or C123456789. <br /> M2021046 <br /> Permitting Action Type <br /> Select revision type or leave blank if comment pertains to a new permit application or NOI <br /> Permit Type <br /> County <br /> Fremont <br /> Enter one county only <br /> Site Name <br /> Dawson Mine <br /> Perm ittee/Operator Name <br /> Zephyr <br /> ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <br />
