iii iiiiiiiiuiuiiil <br />999 <br />October 17, 1990 <br />Michael Ossola <br />Las Animas County Planning Office <br />200 East First St. Room 104 <br />Trinidad, Colorado 81082 <br />Dear Mr. Ossola: <br />In reply to your letter of September i9, i990 I have reviewed the <br />applicatio^ made by Mr. W.T. Davis for a conditional use permit <br />for a strip mine. As noted in Mr. Davis' application I initiall~~ <br />commented on this project with letters on May 21, 198' and Auq~:st <br />u, 1987. These letters can be found as Exhibit I and ar=_ <br />attached. <br />There are no known threatened or endangered species occurrir.y in <br />this area at the present time the area is not considered critical <br />winter habitat for big game. Our aerial flights during January <br />show a low concentration of deer and el}: in this area. No <br />perennial wetlands are found in the area. As always a solid <br />reclamation effcrt should be made to restore any disturbed area <br />back to native flora. The overall impact on wildlife in the araa <br />should be minimal. The area impacted is rather small, less than <br />40 acres and occurs in an araa which has been mined in the past. <br />If I can be of further assistance please do not hesitate to <br />contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~s.w ~~.~e,,V <br />JAMES L.
