Mansfield 815 <br />Denver, Colorado 80235 <br />Dear Mr. Ferguson, <br />~ iiiiiiiiiiiii i <br />REFER TO <br />`°W~°o <br />~flp®q~ <br />`Y OF `~ <br />!•irr hcnplc <br />December 7, 1992 <br />uur office was contacted by Jim Hendricks to request clearance of <br />wildlife Threatened and Endangered species on the Carbon Junction <br />Mine. To our knowledge there are no T & E species occuring on the <br />mine property. Bald Eagles are found on the Animas River, within <br />one mile of the property, during the winter months. The mine <br />property does not provide any nesting site that we know of, nor any <br />wi.nt.er roosting trees. fie pending upon the route of the haul trucla <br />• and frequency of trips 1 doubt that the birds would be disturbed, <br />as this stretch of the Animas R. has two major highways paralle.Ling <br />both sides. <br />The one comment I would like to address is the continued support of <br />the Company toward the reclamation of the property. The entire <br />area surrounding Durango provides critical winter habitat for both <br />deer and ells. Reclamation should provide native browse species as <br />well as treed cover for these two primary sper,ies o£ concern. Deer <br />numbers are dwindling in the area, we believe, due to the loss of <br />habitat and the competiCion with increasing eLk numbers. <br />If I can be of further help, please call 3G3-2~(7-0855. <br />S' cerely Ls~~ <br />C~ <br />Ruth Lewis Carlson <br />Habitat, Biologist <br />cc:Hendicks <br />.
