<br />With respect to revegetatior~ of the disturbed sites, the Division of Wildlife <br />recommends use of native plants wherever possible. In wet sites, cottonwoods and willows <br />are preferred. Shrubs should also be incorporated into the dry upland sites. Four-winged <br />salt bush, shadscale saltbush, sagebrush, and skunkbush are adapted to this environment <br />and provide food and shelter for wildlife. Native grasses and fortis should also be included <br />in the reclamation plan. We discourage planting of non-native invader species like tamarix <br />and Russian olive. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment and for taking the needs of wildlife into <br />consideration in your Pit 500 development plan. I appreciated the opportunity to tour the site <br />with Mr. Gardner. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to call. <br />Sincereiy, <br />Paul J.
