September 11, 2006 <br />BLM, Grand Junction Office <br />C/o Dave Lehmann <br />2815 H Road <br />Grand Junction, CO 81506 <br />RE: Red Cliff Coal Mine Scoping <br />Dear BLM, <br />~~ra~iVE~t) <br />~Ui;S;~.i1 0'~ ~P.NG t"GM?. <br />~ci ~. x,,, Jl. 1. i~G <br />2006 SEP I I P~ 4~ 0 f <br />The EIS for CAM-Colorado, LLC should note that water consumption will not <br />be adversely affected by the proposed Red Cliff Coal Mine project. <br />The Upper Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery Program has <br />regulations concerning how much water can be taken from the river flow. <br />The water levels must be such that they do not hurt our environment, <br />wildlife, or livelihood. CAM complies with the regulations set forth by the <br />Upper Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery Program. <br />CAM is looking to remove 500 acre feet from Salt Wash. The amount of <br />water is insignificant. <br />During your data collection, I would like to see a comparative analysis of <br />how much water CAM is proposing to take out of the water body and how <br />much is removed by municipalities. <br />If CAM's level of removal is less than other entities and causes no significant <br />impact, the BLM needs to take this into consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />Gabe Congdon <br />221 Hall Ave. <br />Grand Jun n. CO 81501 <br />
