Colowyo has operated in this <br />area since 1982. Because the proposed permit does not change the <br />scope, areas, or current ongoing operations, we do not anticipate <br />any additional adverse affects on fish and wildlife or the <br />surrounding habitat during the next five years. <br />If Colowyo Coal is glanning on using the postmined lands for <br />wildlife habitat, we would be happy to help evaluate the amount of <br />woody plant stocking levels, planting arrangements needed. We <br />could address all options and methods for mitigating potential <br />adverse impacts. Please let us know if assistance is needed. <br />I would like to thank you for the opportunity to comment on the <br />proposed mining operation in this area. Please do not hesitate to <br />contact me if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Bill de Vergie <br />District wildlife Manager <br />PO Box 1181 <br />Meeker, CO. 81641 <br />(970) 878-4493 <br />cc: Dan Pren2low <br />Chuck Woodward <br />Bill Clark <br />DEPARTMENT QF NATURAL RESOURCES.
