It is important during reclamation of <br />the site that native vegetation be replaced to its current state. For more spec"Ific information on <br />native vegetation, consult the local NRCS office. Without adequate reclamation, the site could <br />experience erosion problems, especially with the current drought conditions. This makes <br />efforts to revegetate the site as part of the reclamation even more important. <br />The Division requests that the overburden top soil be stock piled for use during the <br />reclamation process. An effort should be made to treat for any noxious weeds that may invade <br />the disturbed site. Grading of slopes should be in a 4:1 ratio. <br />Thank you for-the opportunity fo comment on this reclamation permit application. If you <br />have any questions or require additional information, please contact District Wildlife Manager <br />Trina Romero at 719-227-5284 or via a-mail at trina.romero@state.co.us <br />Sincerely, ~a~ <br />a df"( <br />~~~ <br />Tonya Sharp <br />Acting Area Wildlife Manager <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, RusseO George, Executive Director <br />W ILDLIFE COMMISSION, Jeffrey Crawford, Chair • Tom Burke, Vice Chair • Ken Torres, Secretary <br />Members, Robert Bray • Rick Enstrom • PhOip James • Claire O'Neal • Richard Ray • Robert Shoemaker <br />Ex Officio Members, Russell George and Don Ament <br />
