The area the pit will be located in <br />is mapped as winter range for both deer and elk in our Wildlife Resource Information <br />System, but it is not a, crucial area for either species. It should be recognized, <br />however, that the area in question has been subjected to a vast increase in traffic as a <br />result of gas development west of the Animas River. The gravel pit will add to this <br />increase. Any consideration that can be given to wintering big game, such as minimizing <br />operations during the winter (15 November to 15 April) and confining activities during <br />this time period to the middle of the day would help to mitigate these impacts. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment. <br />incerely, <br />C <'~ <br />Gary Skiba <br />Wildlife Biologist <br />xc: Bob Clark-CDOW <br />Mike Zgainer-CDOW <br />Kevin Ellis-CDOW <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES.
