increases the probability of successful reclamation. <br />Increased travel on roads in the area also has a detrimental impact on wildlife. Road kills are a direct <br />impact and traffic noise indirectly impacts wildlife. Limiting high traffic near dusk anddawn will help <br />reduce impacts on wildlife. The majority of wildlife is active during these time periods. <br />The reclaimed pond at the site will benefit wildlife. Creating a shoreline mosaic of shallow areas with <br />wetland vegetation such as cattails and rushes is beneficial to waterfowl and other wildlife. If the pond <br />is stocked in the future with fish, consult with the Division of Wildlife. <br />These comments will relieve stress on wildlife in the area. We would anticipate that long-term impacts <br />to wildlife from the proposed gravel pit should be minimal as long asthe activity plans to be completed <br />by 2010 and reclaimed immediately. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this proposal. <br />Please contact your local District Wildlife Manger, Mike Swaro d (970}878-9853 if you have any <br />questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Bill deVergie <br />Area Wildlife Manager <br />PO Box 1181 <br />Meeker, CO. 81641 <br />(97Q) 878-6051 <br /> <br />
