Divisional Correspondence Only <br />STATE OF COLORADO <br />DIVISION OF GAME, FISH AND PARKS <br />• DEPARTMENT OF NAT ORAL RESOURCES <br />R E C t I V t D DATE: June 11, 1961 <br />T0: Bill Clark <br />~j/ J U iV 1 ?. 1981 <br />FROM: Jim Haskins <br />,•.T„ ~r,:.,:~~ Pi <br />I had the opportunity to meet with Larry Jackson, reclamation specialist at <br />the Yampa Mine, and go over some of the mine property on June 8. Larry showed <br />me some of the reclamation which has been done at the mine and asked for my <br />comments on it or any suggestions I had. I suggested that they might incorpo- <br />rate the use of topographic relief into the reclamation plan as a possible source <br />of cover to encourage broader use of the reclaimed areas by big game species. <br />The mine has experimented to a limited extent with the use of potted browse species. <br />In most cases these transplanted shrubs show signs of browsing by wildlife. I <br />suggested that they might consider planting potted plants in clump type plantings <br />and then using range cages or similar fencing devices to protect these from use <br />by wildlife. I think it would be to the benifit of both the Division and <br />the Yampa Mining Co. if you could visit the sight sometime when you are in the area. <br />I also requested to be kept informed of reclamation progress at the mine and of <br />any new techniques or experimentation that they had planned. <br />• <br />cc: Larry Jackson <br />File <br />• <br />O F P•A• S•B <br />
