Stover & Associates <br />2768 Compass Dr. Suite 101 <br />Grand Junction CO 81506 <br />Dear Mr. Slovcr, <br />RE: Drilling Program Threatened and Gndangercd Wildlife Statement <br />Bowie No 2. Mine <br />This letter is the Threatened and Endangered Wildlife Spccics statement which you <br />recently reyuested from the Colorado Division of Wildlife. <br />The following T & E species arc found in the arcs which you have shown on the map <br />At this time we do not have knowledge of any nests or other critical habitats identified in <br />the vicinity of the drill holes for the above species. To the best of our knowledge the <br />exploratory drill holes will have little effect vn the T Nc E species found in the arcs. A <br />current list of State T &c C species is included with this teller. If any of these species is <br />found it is imperative to notify the CDOW prior to continuing with Drilling operations. <br />provided with your letter as being the location of the four exploratory drill holes. <br />Bald Eagle wintering population along NT of Gunnison River. <br />Golden Cagle year round population possibly nesting in clil'ts near the <br />drillsitc labeled BW-I <br />River Otter marginal population found in NF of Gunnison River <br />All efforts must be made to minimize sedimentation or water contamination caused by <br />drilling, establishment or reestablishment of any roads or drill pads in the arcs. Any <br />increase in sediment load or water contamination in the NF of the Gunnison River may <br />negatively effect the endangered fishes found downstream in the Gunnison and Colorado <br />Rivers. A statement from the; US Fish and Wildlife Service concerning federally listed T 8c <br />E species is advised. <br />Sincerely, <br />Kirk Madariaga, DWM <br />cc: Jim Young <br />nRPARTMRNT OP NATURAI.
