Henderson: <br />Wildlife Research Center <br />317 West Prospect Street <br />Fort Collins, Colorado 80526 <br />07 July 1930 <br />' LO~~00 ~ <br />d '~.,~ <br />3 {~.: ~~ <br />~ ` OV <br />'O'y OF v,1~'. <br />Thank you for forwarding the map of the area where the "High Mesa" <br />sage grouse strutting ground was once located. I earlier suspected <br />that I knew which ground was of concern to you; once I saw the map <br />my suspicions were confirmed. <br />The "High hiesa" Lek was where the power plant now sits. It was aban- <br />doned by sage grouse in about 1974-1975 as the plant was being <br />developed. The area in question is now essentially unusable and <br />unused by sage grouse because of the power plant, mine and associated <br />• development. We are essentially out of the sage grouse business in <br />that particular area. <br />We would be glad to discuss possible mitigation for loss of the sage <br />grouse resource in that area with you. <br />Sincerely, <br />i~~ ~ <br />Clait E.
