Collins, Co. 80522 <br />Dear Dr. Braun: <br />November 24, 1980 <br />In reference to our telephone conversation on November 21, 1980, I <br />would like to request any additional information you feel would be applicable <br />concerning sage grouse populations in and around the Colowyo permit area. I <br />have enclosed a map of the Colowyo federal lease and the state permit areas <br />which is outlined in red. <br />I have been communicating with Bill Clark in the DOW Grand Junction <br />office. Bill has sent me information the Division has available on deer, elk, <br />raptors, sage grouse, and blue grouse. We also met in September to discuss the <br />various mitigation measures and Habitat improvement programs Colowyo has initi- <br />• ated to reduce the impacts of mining on wildlife. Bill also sent me a map which <br />shows the sage grouse leks in Axial Basin, we know the mine site and surrounding <br />areas are used heavily by sage grouse from the nesting seasons through the fall <br />months for nesting and brood rearing. <br />I would be interested in any additional data you would have available, <br />and a discussion of any possible impacts on the species. <br />If 1 can answer any questions or provide any additional information, <br />please give me a call at the above number. <br />Thanks for your consideration. <br />.t. <br />Sincerely, <br />COLGWYO COAL COMPANY <br />v~~~C%i/~"' <br />A.D.
