The two middle wires could be barbed. In addition to these suggestions, it is recommended that <br /> the top wire is constructed of a highly visible, coated wire. This allows for better visibility when <br /> animals jump the fence and when birds are in flight. Small, reflective tags can also be fitted to <br /> wires to improve visibility. For further information please consult CPW's publication titled, <br /> Fencing with Wildlife in Mind which can be found at <br /> https://cpw.state.co.us/Documents/LandWater/PrivateLandPrograms/FencingWithWildlifeInMind. <br /> pdf <br /> Noxious weeds are a threat to native wildlife habitats. Please consider the control of any noxious <br /> weeds that may invade the disturbed site. This would protect the habitat around the gravel pit site <br /> as well as reduce the possibility of spreading invasive weed seed to other parts of Las Animas <br /> County through the process of transporting materials from the pit. <br /> Successful reclamation with native vegetation would return the area to usable wildlife habitat at <br /> the completion of gravel development. <br /> Based upon site observations and current wildlife habitat data, Colorado Parks and Wildlife does <br /> not anticipate any significant impacts to wildlife on this gravel pit site, nor does it find any <br /> threatened or endangered species which would be affected by this gravel pit expansion. <br /> CPW appreciates the opportunity to review the DMRS File No. M-2010-012 gravel pit <br /> expansion proposal and the DRMS's interest and support for protection of Colorado's wildlife <br /> and their habitats. <br /> Please let me know if you have any further questions or would like clarification on out comments <br /> and recommendations. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Michael D.
