Box 57 <br />Ridgway, CO. 81432 <br />Thomas A. Schreiner <br />Reclamation Specialist <br />Mined land Reclamation Division <br />Dear Mr. Schreiner, <br />• <br />REFER TO <br />For ~ldlife- <br />ForPeople <br />June 10, 1992 <br />I am writing in regard to the Peck Gravel Pit, File No. M-92-049, which was approved <br />with conditions. Stipulation No. 4 was that mining operations must be conducted in <br />a manner that is canpatible with and enhances local populations of wildlife. The <br />operator will submit a Colorado Division of Wildlife statement within 60 days of <br />permit approval and will implement recommendations, where feasible. <br />This mine is not situated- in a sensitive wildlife area and will not have any adverse <br />effects on local wildlife populations. I understand that no trees will be removed <br />which would have been my recommendation for terrestrial wildlfe. I also understand <br />that no mining will be done in the river. The river is not a fishery in that area, <br />but DCW is concerned about downstream siltation. Since there is no possibility of <br />that, i have no recommendation there either. <br />There are local populations of deer and elk especially in the winter. I can't see <br />the operation affecting those. The area is full of roads and houses now and pets <br />seem to be the largest threat to wildlife. <br />I have no recommendation concerning wildlife for the Peck Pit. There are no unusual <br />or special circumstances that would be a concern to wildlife populations. <br />Thank you. <br />Sincerely, <br />/f.~~w ///~GViD <br />Ken Miller <br />cc: Mike McLain <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, Hamlet J.
