Gravel Pit, File ~M-95-030 Dear Mr. Mount: ~)ivision or aune,als s Geology This project site has been reviewed and the site has been visited in company with Mr. Tom Kroening of the Fort Morgan district. Mr. Green toured the area to be mined with ue, as we were trying to ascertain if any wetlands would be impacted. The area to be disturbed does not get into the wetlands on the south perimeter. Basically, the area is open meadow, however, there are quite a number of cottonwood trees that will be destroyed, these should be replaced ae part of the reclamation project. Negative impacts to wildlife can probably be offset by open water created by the mine excavation. The area is within the floodplain of the South Plate river which get rather extensive use by waterfowl during the fall and winter months. The warmer water in the pits will most likely get rather heavy use by waterfowl during the cold periods when the river ices up.
