Box 471 <br />Boulder, Colorado 80306 <br />RE: Dowe Flats Mining and Reclamation Project Application <br />Dear Mr. Helmick <br />627 No .001 P.02 <br />REFER TO <br />GD~~O <br />®a~ <br />~'oF~ <br />For Wlldllfe- <br />For People <br />This Project has been reviewed and the area has been visited in company with Mr. Mike Gabler of <br />our Longmont District, es well as the consultants. <br />The wildlife aspects are addressed in an excellent manner es is the reclamation plan. There is one <br />area that should have special emphasis, which the plan also addresses, and that it is imperative <br />that provisions be made for harvest of deer in the area. <br />The present management of Rabbit Mountain does not permit a harvest of deer. If this <br />management were to be promulgated for the entire area, overpopulation will quickly develop end <br />with it the usual problems of overuse of the range, disease, end damage problems. <br />The reclamation plan as outlined in the application presents a plan that will enhance the wildlife <br />values not only from a game animal point of view but also for nongame end the raptors in <br />particular. Therefore, we concur with the stated plans for the project as it will also enhance the <br />recreational value as well. <br />Biologist <br />DB(k/L41 <br />cC MLRB <br />Moss <br />Gabler <br />Leonard <br />File <br />
