Hernandez, Daniel <br />From: Delpiccolo, Renzo <br />Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2007 2:54 PM <br />To: Hernandez, Daniel <br />Cc: Garner, Jim; Bonacquista, Tony; Caddy, Mark <br />Subject: RE: Western Fuels North Park Coal Expl Project <br />Dan, <br />After further review with our local guys we feel that those two owls were not likely on <br />their nest sites as they are very much interconnected to prairie dog towns. None the less <br />we would like to document the exact location of the sighting so as to add it to our data <br />base. Do you happen to have that or do we need to contact someone else? Again, we <br />appreciate your going the extra step with this project and our concerns but we don't feel <br />the project should impact burrowing owls in the area. <br />Thanks again, <br />Renzo <br />-----Original Message----- <br />From: Hernandez, Daniel <br />Sent: Monday, August 13, 2007 1:07 PM <br />To: Delpiccolo, Renzo <br />Subject: FW: Western Fuels North Park Coal Expl Project <br />Hi, Renzo: <br />Here are the EA and FONSI from BLM for Western Euels Association's North Park coal <br />exploration project in Montrose County. <br />As I mentioned on the phone today, BLM's comments about a lack of active prairie dog <br />colonies within the project area are on page 13 of the EA. BLM's comments about the <br />existence of two burrowing owls within the project area are on page 15 of the EA. <br />I would appreciate a reply as to whether DOW believes its concerns, raised in its letter <br />of March 27 2007 to Murari Shrestha of Western Fuels Association, have been addressed. <br />Thanks, <br />Daniel I.
