Exhibit D -Wildlife and Water Resource Infor•ination a. Asite-specific inventory for wildlife and water resources, as specified in my letter of January 7, 1983, (page 3, point 3 of D. Exhibit D - Wildlife, 4later Resources, ...), is still required. b. Asite-specific inventory for threatened and endangered wildlife species, as specified in my above referenced letter is still required. 3. Exhibit E - Reclamation Plan a. The staff still recommends the addition of sand dropseed 0.5 pounds PLS/AC, and the addition of sand bluestem at 3.5 pounds PLS/AC. Please refer back to my letter of January 7, 1483, for discussions as to why to add these species. b. How does the operator plan to control livestock grazing? From a review of the operators proposed reclamation costs, it seems livestock grazing will be controlled by fencing. Is this correct? 4. Exhibit G - Source of Legal Right to Enter a. The staff is still waiting for this exhibit, which must be submitted prior to the Board meeting. Of the above requested information, I do not understand why site-specify information for wildlife has yet to be submitted. PJot only was obtaining site-specific wildlife information addressed in my first adequacy letter, but it was stated to Mr. Kevin Hoyer in our phone conversation of January 17, 1983. Also, it was specified in Mr. Hoyer's letter of January 18, 1983, requesting a continuance that "The reason for this request is that the County will need the assistance of the Division of Wildlife.... in order to meet your requirements". Why is the County reluctant to provide this information?
