N'alcher <br />Enecwme Director <br />Michael8 Long <br />Division Dveaor <br />RE: Colorado Division of Wildlife Comments, Antero Gravel 112 permit application, File <br />its-2b80t <br />Dear Mr. Regester: <br />On September 18, 2000, The Division received comments from the Division of wildlife regarding your <br />application. I have enclosed a copy of the DOW'S comments. Please address their concerns about <br />mountain plover nests and the coyote den by making appropriate changes or additions to your Exhibit <br />C- Mining plan. <br />Please also address the DOW'S concern regarding your reclamation plan seed mix. Our Division is <br />also concerned about the seed mix because the future land use is rangeland and, if the reclamation <br />species are not native to the area, management of the reclaimed area will be difficult and not consistent <br />with the surrounding rangeland. Please eliminate the smooth brome and pubescent wheatgrass from <br />the mix and add native species such as western wheatgrass, Idaho fescue Arizona fescue thurber <br />fescue and thickspike wheat grass. You should contact your local Natural Resource Conservation <br />Service representative for assistance in developing an appropriate seed mix. The seed mix that would <br />be appropriate for your peat mining operation would not be appropriate for your proposed gravel <br />operation because of differing soil and site conditions. <br />If you have any question, please call me at (303) 866-4922. <br />Sincerely, <br />oZ O Gi ~.z~'wc~ <br />Larry D.
