The following is our amended recommendations or notes of <br />agreement with the mineral owner. <br />Recommendation #1 - Only enough fencing to control road access to <br />the pit area is acceptable to BLM. This allows the rest o° the <br />surface uses to continue and access to remain open to the rest of <br />the BLt4 land. Protection fencing can be installed later around the <br />reseeded areas to allow for reclamation. <br />Re:ommendation #2 - Mr. stone stated that he recognizes weeds as a <br />problem, and shculd be required to control weeds. We •.vill ;•rork <br />together to limit the infestation and possible spread of weeds from <br />the gravel operation. <br />..c <br />:..s. <br />Recommendation #3 - The use of pit run material to build up a <br />crowned and graded road satisfies our concern over mud, erosion and <br />further degradation of the BLM surface. <br />Recommendation #4 - no change, agreement. <br />~A'w. <br />=• Recommendation #5 - We appreciate Mr. Stone's sensitivity to <br />'.~~`.'~ cultural resource protection and his cooperative spirit in helping <br />our agency to protect these resources. We have flagged the site <br />for interim protection (with I•ir. Stone's assistance} and will work <br />together cooperatively to evaluate the site's significance and <br />complete any mitigation that is deemed necessary (in consultation <br />with the Colorado State Historic Preservation Office and the <br />President's Advisory Council on Historic Preservation). <br />:.}; <br />~~ -- <br />. ~. <br />
