STATE OF COLORADO i Nlehrtrd D. Lamm, Governor DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF WILDLIFE Jaok R. 6rlab, Director 6060 Broadway Denver, Colorado 50216 ~B25-t192~ III III'111111111111 M E M O R A N D U M T0: Jim McArdle and Pete O'Connor Mined Land Reclamation Staff FROM: Al Whitaker Wildlife Progr~Specialist SUBJECT: La Poudre Sand and Gravel Application DATE: June 29, 1983 ~C~'1VED ,'UL G 1983 MINED LAND RECLAMATION Colo. Dept. of Natural Resource Appropriate personnel from this agency have reviewed the above-referenced application. The mining and reclamation plans seem well conceived and should yield minimal impacts upon wildlife. However, there is a compli- cation which affects this agency. The Division of Wildlife has been granted a permanent recreation easement covering the subject property for the benefit of the state's wildlife resources. No mention is made of this on page 2-- in apparent contradic- tion with page 8; this agency will not relinquish its easement. We did agree to the public access restriction to the actual working area but nothing else. Pages Q 3-3 and Q 3-4: It is unacceptable to this agency that Loveland Excavating have sole and exclusive possession of the subject property. This is in violation of our existing easement. Water augmentation may be a problem. Representatives for the project have stated to us that water will be provided for augmentation of evapor- ation loss after the mining is finished. The application states water will be provided only during the mining. We would be glad to meet with you and project proponents to further clarify our concerns. ag cc: W. Graul D.
