AceCOLORADO <br /> Parks and Wildlife <br /> Department of Natural Resources <br /> Meeker(Area 6) Service Center <br /> 73485 Hwy 64 <br /> Meeker, CO 81641 <br /> P 970.878.6090 I F 970.878.6077 <br /> RECEIVED <br /> Division of Mining and Reclamation. Mining, and Safety <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, RM 215 JUN 27 2023 <br /> Denver, CO 80203 <br /> Cp{orado Division of Redamalt^ <br /> Mining and Safety <br /> June 20'h, 2023 <br /> RE: Trapper Mine Permit No. C-1981-010, Technical Revision TR-134 <br /> Ms. Reilley, <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the proposed expansion of the Trapper <br /> Mine under permit revision number TR134 (Project). Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) has a <br /> statutory responsibility to manage all wildlife species in Colorado. This responsibility is <br /> embraced through our mission to perpetuate the wildlife resources of Colorado and provide <br /> sustainable outdoor recreation opportunities that educate and inspire future generations. <br /> CPW fulfills this mission by responding to requests for comments on wildlife impact reports, <br /> land use proposals, and consultations through public-private partnerships. <br /> CPW understands that Trapper Mine is revising the topsoil stripping areas to include an <br /> additional 34.7 acres north of the current J-Pit and 75.8 Acres surrounding the C-Pit area. As <br /> a result of the expansion of the disturbed areas, a revised bond is calculated at $547,455 to <br /> address reclamation efforts. The additional acreage is within the permitted area and part of <br /> the active mining limits. <br /> CPW has identified that this project area is located within the following CPW-mapped High <br /> Priority Habitats (HPH) with sound, spatial data and scientifically backed Best Management <br /> Practices (BMPs) and recommends the following best management practices be implemented: <br /> • Elk Winter range and concentration area <br /> • Mule deer severe winter range and winter concentration area <br /> Through ongoing relationships with partners like Trapper Mine, CPW is able to avoid, <br /> minimize, and mitigate adverse impacts on sensitive species within the Project area. CPW <br /> appreciates the work done to reclaim the disturbed areas within the Trapper mine operations <br /> and requests that reclamation efforts include the establishment of a brush component that <br /> may include sagebrush, oak brush, serviceberry, or chokecherry to make the reclaimed area <br /> more beneficial for Mule Deer. <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to review this project application material and provide <br /> recommendations to avoid, minimize, and mitigate adverse impacts on wildlife.
