Hopefully, this loss will be temporary, assuming <br />revcget.ation is accomplished successfully, To insure successful <br />rec7am,gtSon, the Division recouuliends that top soil be stockpiled as <br />described and planted to avoid its loss before it is needed for <br />revcgctation purposes. Revegetation will be ,t be accomplished if <br />done concurrent, to mining, eg. every 2-3 acres. Mined slopes <br />should he regraded to 3:1 or flatter. Where henc;Yting is necessary, <br />shrulas and trees, in addition to grass plantings is recommended to <br />maintain vegetative diversity and provide aesthetic relief. We <br />aupporL the wetland revegetation plan as described, <br />Staging of vehicles and storage. of chemicals, petroleum products, <br />etc• will result in the least damage to habitat iP relegated to one <br />designated area, and hopefully, far from the wetland. <br />Please call. me at 719-473-2945, ext.2'l4, if you wish to further <br />discuss Division recommendatiotls. <br />Sincerely ~prove~~ <br />:' <br />J/ <br />ruce Gofox• o a d si e <br />Sr. Wildli Biologist Regional Mansger <br />Mar 5 ,'_a 15 <br />• <br />DEPAFIMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES.
