<br />On May 23, 1997, a letter requesting comments on [his operation was sent to the Southeast Regional <br />Office of the Division of Wildlife in Colorado Springs. The letter included their standard <br />questionnaire, an index map and a site specific map. (A copy will be sent to you on request.) Nothing <br />has been heard from that office since the mailing. <br />Since 1982 this consultant has personally prepared nine (9) permit applications or amendments for <br />operations within a 3-mile radius of [he subject. When DOVJ comments have been received on any <br />of these, they have basically read as follows: <br />Wildlife Species List -Assorted small mammals including cottontail rabbit, jackrabbit various <br />rodents, mourning doves, and other small birds. <br />Endangered/Critical Species/Impacted -None known. <br />Critical habitats, Vegetative Communities Impacted -None known. The area is a short grass <br />prairie which is broken by agricultural and residential use. <br />Assessment ofImpact -Limited to disturbance and displacement of existing vegetation. <br />Mine Reclamation Recommendations (include kc}• species/habitats for which restoration is <br />designed) -Reclamation should be consistent with SCS reconunendations for slopes, tillage, seeding <br />and crimping operations, and herbicide reconunendations- for weed control within the re-seeded area. <br />Over the last 1 J years when comments have been received for this area, no wildlife impact has been <br />noted. If a reply to the letter of May 23, 1997 should be received while this application is being <br />processed, a copy will be forwarded to you for inclusion. <br />
