Lxhhead <br />Eteculive Direcror <br />Michael B. Long <br />Dmision Director <br />• Recently, the Division of Minerals and Geology (Division) completed review of the responses of <br />our initial adequacy review and forwarded them to you for the Lorencito Canyon Mine permit <br />application. Specifically excluded from this correspondence was a detailed Division concerning <br />those issues identified by the Division of Wildlife (DOW). The Division has completed review <br />of these issues and would like to summarize and focus any remaining concerns remaining with <br />regard to wildlife and related issues. From my discussions with Chris Kloster of the DOW, they <br />will not be in a position to formally respond to LCC's first responses until sometime later this <br />month. His verbal indications is that, excluding the shrub establishment issue, LCC's first <br />responses seemed reasonable, except for the lack of population sampling of the Flathead chub. <br />Due to the pending July 2, 1997 decision date, it is important that those other remaining issues <br />be identified for your consideration. <br />In our letter of May 27, 1997, our response to Rule 2.05.6(2) and Rule 4.18 was as follows: <br />Rule 2.05.6(21 Fish and Wildlife Plan <br />Under this section, all responses were found adequate except as listed below. <br />111. Correspondence was received from John Woodling of the Division of Wildlife and <br />Chris Kloster of the Division of Wildlife. Based on our discussion on May 28, <br />1997, the DMG will be reviewing this correspondence and will respond to LCC <br />by June 5, 1997 with regard to the various issues identified. <br />• Rule 4.18 Protection of Fish.
