Mount <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />1313 .Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Re: Yuma County, Mullins Pit, Permit #M-81-263 <br />Dear Mr. Mount: <br />The Mulling/ Weyerman project has been reviewed and the site was visited with Mr. <br />Lynn Weyerman. <br />The site ie in the break on the south aide of the Arikaree river. The area ie <br />deeply incised by erosion and is used for grazing. The mining area will be the <br />sandy ridge between the gullies. <br />The project has fairly good ground cover consisting primarily of buffalo grass with <br />a mix of blue gramma as well as yucca and cacti. <br />The gullies are home to good deer population. Other species include, coyote, fox, <br />badgez, weasel, skunk, rabbits, raccoons, pheasant, dove, quail, magpie, raptors and <br />numerous seasonal songbirds ae well ae many small rodents. <br />Even with the variety of wildlife found in the area, negative impacts to wildlife <br />should not be serious as the ridge that will be mined has very little cover, other <br />than buffalo grass. <br />Sine sly, <br />Don Bogart ~,~~~~~~ <br />Environmental Biologist <br />cc: Moss <br />Budde <br />Trujillo <br />Attachment <br />RECE ~ ~J~ :,. <br />NOV 131992 <br />DlviSn ~„ , . <br />fv11NERNLS g AEI, ... . <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, Kenneth Salezer, Executive Director <br />WILDI.IFB COMMISSION, Eldon W.
