Grleb, Director 6060 Broadway <br /> Denver, Colorado 60216 (825-1192) <br /> March 23, 1982 <br /> TO: Brad James <br /> Mined Land Reclamation Staff RECEIVED <br /> FROM: C.J. Grand Pre q <br /> Wildlife Program Specialist <br /> ^R 24 1982 <br /> RE: Flatiron Sand and Gravel/Deepe Form Pit 1 <br /> # 81-302 MINED LAND RECLAMATION <br /> Colo. Dept. of Natlral Resources <br /> Personnel from the Colorado Division of Wildlife have reviewed the above <br /> cited proposal and find it to be very good. It is most refreshing to see <br /> a reclamation plan designed to have a positive impact upon wildlife. <br /> In a recent conversation you inquired about the probability of a mosquito <br /> problem arising from the construction of shoal areas and wetlands within <br /> the confines of a gravel pit. We can only state that to date, reclamation <br /> of this nature has not resulted in any known conflict. It is highly <br /> unlikely the construction of a gently sloped shoreline would promote an <br /> insect investation. <br /> If is our belief the many bird species that would inhabit the restored <br /> area would provide ample control over resident insect populations. Further- <br /> more, if a fish stocking/management program is proposed, this would provide <br /> an additional insect control measure. <br /> The Division of Wildlife will provide assistance to anyone who requests our <br /> involvement with their fisheries program. This assistance may be in the <br /> - form of technical advice or actual stocking of lakes if the landowner is <br /> willing to allow public fishing. <br /> If we can be of further assistance, please feel free to call 825-1192. <br /> CJG:jb <br /> cc: NE Region <br /> file <br /> DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES,Monte Pascoe,Executive Director•WILDLIFE COMMISSION,Donald Fernandez.Chairman <br /> James Smith,Vice Chairman• Richard Divelbiss,Secretary•Jean K.Tool,Member•James C.
