Steve Manger 1020 15th Brooks Towers Denver, Colorado 80202 Dear Mr. Manger: Pursuant to our telephone conversation of January 25th and my telephone conversation with Tom Guobis, also on January 25th I am supplying the following information to the Office of Surface Dlining for Wyoming Fuel Company's Canadian Strip Mine Permit Application. In regard to the Mountain Bell cable, BLM Tramroad, and JacF:son County Road Wyoming Fuel Company at this time is not planning any realignment of these facilities. In regard to fencing, [^]yoming Fuel Company will only be • fencing around the immediately disturbed area. This will include the pit area, stockpiling areas and sedimentation ponds. The larger fenced area shown on Figure 2 "Mining and Reclamation Plan" Baas a result of tVyoming Fuel Company's proposed ecological study .area. Since this ecological study has not yet beers approved by either the Colorado Division of Wildlife or the Bureau of Land Management fencing of this total area is not planned at this time. If in fact, the CD6d and BLD1 determine this i~ a proper mitigative measure over fertilization of sagebrush for sage grouse habitat then Wyoming Fuel Company will at that time negotiate with the BLM on the placement of the fence. In response to the BLD1 concern for shrub establishment and recommendations for transplanting I am making the following comments. Wyoming Fuel Company will be establishing a shrub density standard with the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation technical personnel early this spring. This standard will be S4yoming Fuel Company's target for shrub establishment on reclaimed lands. This standard will be based on premining shrub density data collected by Wyoming Fuel Company during 1981. •
