STATE OF COLORADO <br />Rlehard D. Lamm, Governor <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES <br />DIVISION OF WILDLIFE <br />~" Jack R. Grieb. Director <br />6060 Broadway <br />Denver, Colorado 60216 (6257792) <br />October 22, 1982 <br />` Mr. Scott Jones <br />Environmental Coordinator <br />Snowmass Coal Company <br />Box 980 <br />Carbondale, CO 81623 <br />Dear Scott: <br />I have reviewed the "NOTICE" you sent me regarding protection of wildlife <br />near the Snowmass Coal Mine access road. We agree that this should <br />alleviate the illegal kill of wildlife which we have seen in the past <br />and so shall "signoff" on your permit. In other words, posting of this <br />notice and the Operation Game Thief posters meets our request under <br />the coal permitting procedure. <br />The past illegal actions of a few Snowmass Coal Company employees are a <br />matter of record. Our interest is not in punishing the employees or the <br />company but in stopping the poaching. We will continue to monitor the <br />situation and if the illegal harvest continues, we think a bussing or <br />vanpool program should be initiated. We greatly appreciate your efforts <br />and dedication toward protecting wildlife around your mine. We will <br />continue Co work with you toward this end. <br />Cordially, <br />CC <br />_ Allen F.
