The spread and wntrol of noxious weeds on the site is a concern for wildlife. Weeds are defined as "a plant that <br />interferes with management objectives for a given area of land at a given point in time" (Whitson, 1999). The <br />Division of Wildlife recommends that consideration be made for using principles of integrated weed managemem plan <br />available from Adams County. Invasive plants endanger the ecosystem by disturbing natural processes and <br />jeopardizing the survival of native plants and the wildlife that depend on them. The threat is so severe in the United <br />States that scientists now agree that the spread of invasive species is one of the greatest risks to biodiversity. (Nature <br />Conservancy - 2003). All equipment should be cleaned prior to leaving the site to prevent the spread of noxious <br />weeds already found in the azea. <br />It is important to note that although this mine site will actually increase wildlife habitat in the area, the quality of the <br />habitat will significantly impact the usage by wildlife and the continued viability of the South Platte River corridor as <br />a whole. The Division of Wildlife recommends that the Division of Minerals and Geology require the adherence to all <br />recommended reclamation practices, thereby creating very valuable wildlife habitat. <br />Should you have further questions or concerns, please wntact District Wildlife Manager Stephanie Durno at (303) <br />291-7132. The Division of Wildlife will be available to help during the reclamation process to improve the wildlife <br />value of the site. The Division of Wildlife appreciates the opportunity to comment on projects such as this. <br />Sincerely, <br />~, <br />(~~ Scott H r <br />~r~` Northeast Region Manager <br />~ _ Colorado Division of Wildlife <br />
