SIERRA CLUB Pikes Peak Group of the Rocky Mountain Chapter April 25, 2001 David Lovell Colorado Division of Wildlife 2126 North Weber S[. Colorado Springs, CO 80907 Dear Mr. Lovell: u Pikes Peak Group of the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the Sierra Cluh 522 N. Royer St. Colorado Springs, CO 80903 Reply to: James E. Lockhart 1718 Lorraine St. Apt. B4 Colorado Springs, CO 80906 (7]9)385-0045 I am writing with regard to my telephone message of last week concerning the Red Canyon quarry permit application, M-1985-043. I have received a mailed copy of your comments to the Division of Minerals and Geology regarding the amendment application. However, another matter of concern has arisen regarding the effect of your comments. I have spoken with James Dillie at the Division of Minerals and Geology, and he informs me that there is no Exhibit H Wildlife Information submission with the current application; nor was such an Exhibit provided ~.vith the 1997 Red Canyon permit amendment application. This is because the Colorado Division of Wildlife was consulted, commented on the application, and thereby made recommendations which serve in lieu of a Wildlife Information submission. I am advising you of this because, frankly, I was unaware of this aspect of Minerals and Geology procedure when I submitted the Sierra Club's objection comments, and wonder whether you were aware of it; and, if not, whether it would have affected the nature and scope of your comments. It seems from what Mr. Dillie tells me that the materials which the Colorado Division of Wildlife actually submits with respect to the permit amendment application may come to constitute the whole of the quarry's "plan" regarding both the Mexican spotted owl and other wildlife impacted by the quarry expansion. Sincerely, ~' _ ~'`~- James E. Lockhart, Chair Pikes Peak Sierra Club Group cc: James Dillie, DMG
