Based both on the location and type of action being proposed the Division believes impacts to the wildlife <br />resource to be negligible. <br />We recommend that topsoil be stockpiled, to be used in reclamation process. Reclamation will be most effective if <br />slopes aze contoured to match surrounding topography and seeded with native vegetation. Your local Natural <br />Resource Conservation (NRCS) office can provide appropriate grass seed formulas. <br />Disturbed soils are vulnerable to invasion by noxious plants. A plan to eliminate these plants will help minimize <br />eradication expenses, both onsite and for neighboring landowners. <br />We appreciate being given the opportunity to comment. Please feel free to contact DWM Warren Cummings at <br />(719) 775-2025 should you have any questions or requve additional information. <br />Sincerely, <br />Shaun !~ <br />Area Wildlife Manager <br />xc: File <br />Region <br />Cummings <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, Russetl George, E>aeaArve Director <br />WILDLIFE COMMISSION, Jeffrey Crawford, Chao • Tom Burke, Yoe Chair.
