Therefore, we recommend that the Colorado Mined <br />Land Reclamation Division contact the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers if any of the activities <br />of this project would impact any wetlands or riparian habitats. If any of these types of <br />habitats will be unavoidably impacted, appropriate mitigation should be proposed and <br />discussed with this office. <br />If the Service can be of further assistance, please contact Bernardo Garza of this office at <br />(303) 231-5280. <br />Sincere Yours, <br />~~~~~ <br />LeRoy .Carlson <br />Colorado State Supervisor <br />cc: FWS/ES; SLC <br />CDOW, Colorado Springs, CO (Attn.
