Johnson <br />Wildlife Biologist <br />Energy Fuels Corporation <br />Box g <br />Steamboat Springs, Colorado 80477 <br />RE: Permit 79-177, Elk Calving Bed Study, OSM Stipulation No. 4 <br />Dear Terrell: <br />Enclosed is a letter from The Office of Surface Mining (January 22, 1981) <br />describing Energy Fuel's program for monitoring elk calving areas. The <br />program as set forth in the letter has been agreed upon by all concerned <br />parties; Energy Fuels Corporation, Colorado Division of Wildlife, U.S. <br />Fish and Wildlife, OSM and Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division. I am <br />sending this to you so we will all be aware of the final study plan. <br />The deadline for the preliminary 1981 elk calving data will be September 1, <br />1981. Copies should be sent to our Division and OSM. This deadline was <br />changed so that EFC will have time to collect additional vegetation <br />data and maximize, to the extent possible, valuable field time. It is <br />set with the understanding that if the preliminary calving data indicate <br />habitat management will be necessary EFC will notify the Division and OSM <br />so program design for habitat modification can begin and be completed by <br />the fall of 1981. It may be necessary to extend the date for the Final <br />report. <br />This sounds like an interesting and relevant study. I'll be looking forward <br />to seeing what kind of results you come up with. Please contact me if <br />you run into any problems or have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />~Qt~.t~trL ~~ C 7n.r.C ~i. <br />Sandra L.
