Prospect Street <br />tt. Collins, CO 80526 <br />' duly 1, 1986 <br />GO~RA00 <br />~ ' <br />-~ e <br />.+/ON OF YUO <br />~r~ , :; ~ . <br />1 have received your questions concerning reclamation measures for wildlife habitat <br />and raptor percfies. <br />There are a number of species of wildlife that are involved in the area of your mine. <br />The Wore common species are deer, antelope, coyote, badger, fox, rabbits, skunks, <br />several species of small rodents as well as several species of raptors and seasonal <br />~gbirds. <br />Ine diversity of plants in the reclamation you are doing should mitigate the losses <br />to wildlife habitat and should alsa enhance it for some species. <br />In the unworked area of the mine, about the only raptor perches were and are, the <br />fence posts. However, the power line has produced some additional perches- These <br />should be adequate for the raptor hunting. It was noticed while on the area that <br />rodents are making considerable use of the reseeded area, which is also making <br />excellent raptor hunting. <br />Sine ely, <br />D n Bogart <br />Environmental Biologist <br />DB/lj <br />• <br />99b <br />f`A RiU( ryt O( NAI Utinl RCSOV n(;C S.
