<br />degradation in the river. Should Urie Rock Company or associates wish to pursue stocking the proposed <br />reclamation pond in the future, they are reminded they must consult with CDOW and adhere to state regulations. <br />CDOW also has concerns regarding the increase in heavy truck traffic to and from the proposed site along Rio <br />Blanco County Road 46 and Colorado State Highway 64. CDOW recognizes the negative cumulative effects that <br />increasing heavy truck traffic has had on local mule deer and antelope herds in the Rangely area. CDOW <br />recommends Urie Rock Company restrict heavy truck traffic from early morning and late evening hours. CDOW <br />also encourages truck drivers to adhere to posted speed limits in the area. Additional impacts from the noise and <br />degradation of air quality in the vicinity of the site cannot be quantified, but may be of significant effect to local <br />terrestrial wildlife populations. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this proposal. <br />Sincerely, <br />Bill de Vergie <br />CDOW Area Wildlife Manager <br />Cc. Joe Nicholson, District Wildlife Manager <br />Boyd Wright, Fishery Biologist
