Box 359 <br />Kcensburg, Colorado 80643 <br />`~~AnA00 <br />J'0~~~ <br />OF`~ <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Althouse: <br />I have received your questions concerning reclamation measures for wildlife habitat <br />and raptor perches. <br />There are a number of species of wildlife that are involved in the area of your mine. <br />The more common species are deer, antelope, coyote, badger, fox, rabbits, skunks, <br />several species of small rodents as well as several species of raptors and seasonal <br />~gbirds. <br />Ine diversity of plants in the reclamation you are doing should mitigate the losses <br />to wildlife habitat and should also enhance it for some species. <br />In the unworked area of the mine, about the only raptor perches were and are, the <br />fence posts. However, the power line has produced some additional perches. These <br />should be adequate for the raptor hunting. It was noticed while on the area that <br />rodents are making considerable use of the reseeded area, which is also making <br />excellent raptor hunting. <br />Sine ely, <br />D n Bogart <br />Environmental Biologist <br />DB/lj <br />• <br />99b <br />~nR~r,v rd7 U~ r.lnlUnN RCSOUnCC S.
