.~,~. <br />~. <br />November 10, 1977 <br />Mr, Kent A. Crofts <br />Range Scientist <br />-• Ener~:~ Fields Corporation • <br />Box G <br />"Steamboat Springs, CO 80477 <br />Dear Kent: <br />Cooperative Extension Service <br />COlOradO Statc Un~~~r lily <br />Fort Collins. COIO r: ~J <br />80523 <br />Thanks for the vegetation transect information on the sites tre <br />visited on October 19. I o-ras impressed t•~ith the revegetation <br />work done, the results obtained and the plans for future vege- <br />tation. <br />Pit 3 and the Fish Creek reseeding look exceptionally good in <br />spite of the grotring season droug)it this year. For grass <br />vegetation to look that good in this kind of year root develop- <br />ment and plant vigor must be very good. <br />In view of the vegetation production and plant vigor expressed, <br />I am certain that livestock could be grazed on both areas, with <br />proper management, without any detrimental effects on the stands. <br />In fact if these areas are not utilized, stand deterioration, <br />through excessive litter accumulation and the absence of growth <br />stimulation, will be noticed in relatively short time. <br />Let me know if you need additional information. <br />Sincerely, <br />Robert M.
