Based on a communication from the <br />Colorado Division of Wildlife, the DMG has issued a coal <br />exploration permit to Cyprus Empire Corporation (CEC) stipulating <br />that CEC maintain a 1/4 mile buffer zone between drilling sites and <br />the Yampa River as well as between drilling sites and all raptor <br />nests during the winter and spring months. <br />Additionally, the DMG has determined that there will be no <br />consumptive water use under this permit; therefore, impacts to the <br />river are not anticipated. I trust that these determinations <br />address your concerns regarding the CEC exploration permit. If you <br />have any questions, please call me at (303) 866-3567. <br />Sincerely, ,~ <br />ai.G~.~. o~. /~.-r.~e <br />Barbara L. Pavlik <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />
