Determ- Assigned Specialist ination Resource (X) Rationale for Determination. Initials Date (®)J.Christenson The project is not located within any SRMAs nor ERMAs. (®)J.Byrd Dispersed recreation,primarily hunting,occurs in the area. However,due to the limited scope of the project in relation to the 6/22/2022 NI Recreation available adjacent acreage for dispersed recreation activities, JJC B 4/18/2024 further analysis in this document is not warranted. ❑ Mitigation: (®)J.Blair Addressed in COAs. (®)B.Wade Standard paleontological stipulations would be applied to any approval to protect paleontological resources that might be found in the proposed mine area. ❑ Mitigation:If scientifically significant fossils(all vertebrate JJB 3/19/2021 NI Paleo fossils,their tracks or traces,and some invertebrate or plant BCW 5/15/24 fossils identified as rare or important by the scientific community)are discovered,Dolores County would be required to suspend operations that might further disturb such materials, and immediately contact the BLM's Authorized Officer(TRFO Manager)so the fossil resources could be assessed and,if necessary,removed prior to resumption of mining.BCW 5/15/24 (®)J.Blair There are no unique geologic features that would be adversely NP Geology (®)B.Wade affected by this proposal. JJB 3/19/2021 (El) BCW 5/15/24 El Mitigation: (®)J.Blair There are no mining claims in the area. Solid Mineral (El)B.Wade JJB 3/19/2021 NP There are no active notices or mine plans in the vicinity. Resources (El) BCW 5/15/24 ❑ Mitigation: Oil and Gas/ (®)L.Hartman There are no oil and gas resources in the project area. NP Energy Production LHH 6/27/2022 ❑ Mitigation: (®)Krassin Powerline in area will need to be looked at. (El)B.Wade NI Lands/Access Powerline has been removed by San Miguel Power.BCW CLK 6/17/2022 5/15/24 BCW 5/15/24 ❑ Mitigation: (®)M.Jensen Proposed expansion area is not within the Spring Creek Basin Wild Horse and (❑) Wild Horse Herd Management Area. NP Burros MLJ 3/28/2023 ❑ Mitigation: (0)M.Jensen The proposed project is within the Indian Valley Grazing (El) Allotment. However,the proposed expansion of the existing NI Livestock Grazing gravel pit will have no impacts to the grazing management or MLJ 3/28/2023 forage availability for permitted livestock. ❑ Mitigation: Disappointment Valley Gravel Pit Expansion EA DOI-BLM-CO-S010-2024-0021-EA Tres Rios Field Office 22
