Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division) has reviewing the subject Permit <br />Renewal (RN) application for adequacy. Two subjects have been identified for up-dating. <br />Please update the Legal, Financial and Compliance Information (see Section 3.7 of the Permit <br />Application Package) (Rule 2.03.4). <br />Please update the appropriate sections of the Permit Application Package (page 2.7-2, and <br />perhaps pages 2.7-20 and 4.7-1) to indicate that those species currently listed for Routt County in <br />Colorado have been considered (if even by exception). They are the Bald Eagle, Black-footed <br />Ferret, Bonytail, Canada Lynx, Colorado Pikeminnow, Humpback Chub, Razorback Sucker, and <br />Yellow-billed Cuckoo. This list, along with the scientific names may be found at http://mountain- <br />prairie.fws.gov/endsnn/CountyLists/COLORADO.htm. Note that the greater sandhill crane is not <br />listed. In the revised submission, however, the historic consideration would be appropriate. Please <br />include a description of impacts to such species as a result of continuing reclamation <br />operations.(Rule 2.04.1 I) <br />The scheduled due date for a proposed decision on the permit renewal is October 6, 2006. Please <br />request an extension to this proposed decision date to allow the Division ten days following <br />receipt of the revised materials. <br />An advance copy of this letter is being sent to you by a-mail. A signed copy is being placed in the <br />mail to you. Please contact me if you have any questions. <br />Yours truly, <br />~r~ ~ G~ <br />Byrfin G.
