Rio Blanco County Sur~yor III IIIIIIiIIIIIIIII <br />Box 1153 Meeker, CO 81641 (970)878-5292 <br />RECEIVED <br />May 17, 1999 <br />MAY 2 0 1999 <br />Erica Crosby <br />Department of Natural Resourcepi~ision of Minerals 8 Geology <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Dear Erica Crosby, <br />In response to the Division of Wildlife's letter dated May l5, 1999 relative to the Sharp <br />Shinned Hawks and Mule Deer winter range. <br />Upon county inspections no Sharp Shinned Hawks nest was found on site or near site. <br />However, Rio Blanco County does agree not to commence any mining operation until <br />August 1, 1999 as outlined in the Division of Wildlife letter so as to not disturb the <br />habitat of this Raptor species. <br />The road closure gate is located one-quarter of a mile south of the proposed gravel pit. <br />We foresee no reason that this project would infringe upon the road closure or have any <br />adverse effect on the Bureau of Land Management's gate mentioned in the letter. <br />Reclamation of the site would include the Browser Species that currently inhabit this <br />area. These include sagebrush and service berry. <br />Sincerely, <br />James Joy <br />CC: Jerry Steele RBC Road Superintendent <br />
