Gillis <br />Senior Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />December 26, 2001 <br />Dear Mr. Gillis, <br />RECEIVED <br />JAN 0 3 2002 <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />For tVrldlife- <br />For People <br />I am writing in response to public notice M-2001-054, which is the Bridalveil Construction <br />application to conduct surface extraction of construction materials near the town of Ouray. <br />This is a relatively small area of undeveloped land within the city limits of Ouray and does <br />provide habitat for mule deer and other small game species. The growth/development rate <br />in Ouray County is posing a threat to the continued existence of wildlife. However, this <br />piece of land is not critical big game winter range in the county. <br />Due to the relatively small size, 3.64 acres, of this proposal I would not have any problems <br />with it as long as some reclamation or mitigation is done in the are. <br />Thank you for this opportunity to comment. Please contact me if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Kelly C. rane <br />District Wildlife Manager <br />2300 S.
