S , <br />/ O <br />Mr, John Walters <br />Page 2 <br />September 7, 1983 <br />As general protective considerations, no mine developments should occur on <br />the surface of the described buffer zones and no human disturbances of any <br />nature should be allowed between February 15 and July 15 of any given year. <br />However, you should also be aware that golden eagle buffer zones are not in- <br />tended to totally preclude all mining activities. Certain types of developments <br />and certain activities can often occur within buffer zones without adversely <br />affecting golden eagle nesting success. Therefore, even though it does not <br />appear that your company's facilities will conflict with nesting eagles, if <br />the need arises to enter a buffer zone, please consult with either this office <br />or our Grand Junction office. <br />Finally, we wish to express our appreciation for your support of efforts to <br />provide more detailed raptor data for Sheridaa Enterprises' permit lands. <br />Because of the intensity of the July 20th survey and given the nature of your <br />company's mining plans, we do not feel that an additional raptor survey next <br />year is warranted. If mine plans change significantly in the future, additional <br />surveys may be needed. <br />If you have any questions regarding the July 20th survey, please contact <br />either myself, Mike Lockhart or Rick Krueger. <br />Sincerely, <br />~/~ ~ V <br />Energy Project Leader <br />cc: Brian Munson, MLRB <br />Doug McVean, BLM <br />Jim Morris, CDOW <br />FWS, Grand Jct.
