Rueh, Director <br />' 6080 Broadway <br />Denver, Colorado 80216 (297.1192) <br />1 <br />Mr. Stevan L. O'Brian <br />Environment, Inc. <br />9989 W. 60th Ave <br />Arvada, CO 80004 <br />Northeast Region <br />317 West Prospect <br />Fort Collins, CO 80526 <br />May 10, 1984 <br />' RE: J-Bar-B, Inc.-Bailey Pit <br />' Dear Stevan: <br />This report is being substituted for the form that we usually submit. The reason <br />' for this is for what appears to be wetlands in areas both north and south of the <br />river. It might be good to have these checked by the Corp of Engineers to ascer- <br />tain if a 404 Permit is required. <br />' The part of the area that is now farmed does not present much of a problem from a <br />wildlife viewpoint, however, the more common species can be found there from time <br />to time, depending to a certain extent on the season of the year. <br />' The riparian area along what appears to be the historic floodplain is somewhat more <br />productive of the wildlife resource. However, due to the heavy use by domestic <br />' livestock this resource is rather limited. There also seems to be very little re- <br />production of cottonwood and the ones that are there are scattered and for the most <br />part mature and many are decadent. <br />' It is recommended that the pumping to dewater the pits, first be settled before <br />returning it to the St. Vrain. <br />' If recommendations are needed for the reclamation to a private recreation and wild- <br />life area, we will be happy to assist. It is assumed that these plans are probably <br />formulated but were not included in our packet. <br />' If as is indicated this is to be developed as a private club, rather than the <br />straight line type of shoreline, the area would be greatly enhanced by the creation <br />of an irregular shoreline. <br />We appreciate the opportunity to comment on this project. <br />' You truly, <br />' on ogart <br />Wildlife Biologist <br />DB/js <br />cc: MLRB <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES.
