Stevens <br />Environmental Specialist <br />1313 Sherman St. Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Dear Mr. Stevens, <br />~~ <br />4ECEIVE[) <br />FEB 2 8 2000 <br />^^ ^r ""irlerab & Geoloav <br />III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII <br />999 <br />For Wildlife - <br />For People <br />02/15/99 <br />This letter is in response to Huertano County Gravel Pit, Willis Pit, Permit #, M- <br />1992-003. <br />Upon review of the site, and visit by District Wildlife Manager, Lonnie Brown, it is <br />the opinion of the Division of Wildlife and it's staff that little or no reclamation has taken <br />place at the project site. The pit looks as if it is still active. Bare mineral soil and <br />exposed gravel occupy the site. Revegetation to the site is a must in order to provide <br />wildlife habitat. <br />If the Division of Wildlife can offer suggestions to grass seed mixes for <br />revegetation to the site we would be more than happy to do so. <br />Due to the condition of the site, the Division of Wildlife does not recommend <br />reclaimation release be granted until the site has been fully reclaimed. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this issue. If you have any <br />questions, please feel free to reach officer Brown or myself at 719-561-4909. <br />Sin rely, <br />,~ r ~~~. <br />Kevin Ka zmar <br />Habitat Biologist <br />Area 11 <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, Greg E.
