However, we <br />may be concerned about the increased truck traffic on State Highway <br />13 from Colowyo to the Craig power station. This section of <br />highway passes through a major deer and elk migration area and <br />could have a detrimental effect on these two big game species. A <br />substantial increase in truck traffic, especially at night, could <br />greatly increase the number of accidental road killed animals in <br />this area. The problem would be minimal if this truck traffic was <br />restricted to only daylight hours. <br />Sincerely, <br />l~ <br />Ch les W. ~odward <br />District Wil life Manager <br />Craig, Colorado <br />CW:bp <br />cc:Environmental Section, NW Region <br />Dan Prenzlow <br />III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII <br />999 <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, Kenneth Salazar, Executive Director <br />WILDLIFE COMMISSION, William R.
