DapL of Natural Resources <br />SUBJECT: Peerless Resources, Inc. - Coal Gulch Permit Application <br />File # C-84-067 <br />Appropriate personnel from this agency have reviewed the above- <br />referenced application. We offer the following comments. <br />The Division of Wildlife has a 600 acre surface lease from the <br />State Land Board on the subject section. We purchased this lease <br />due to the high value of the area as wildlife habitat. Our deeded <br />right-of-way is approximately Z00 yards east of the mine entrance, <br />Although this is a very rough road, it must be preserved for pub- <br />lic access during the hunting seasons. Conversely, it must be <br />closed to public use during other times of the year,i.e, winter, <br />for protection of the wildlife resource. <br />IVs request that no additional roads be built upon our leased area. <br />Any and all surface disturbance caused by the mine should be miti- <br />gated by vegetation manipulation or fertilization on an area to be <br />designated by the Division of Wildlife. We will be glad to con- <br />sult with the applicant on this matter. <br />AFW/lls <br />cc: Mike Zgainer <br />Rich Sherman <br />Bob Tully <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, David H.
