Division o" KeclamaUon, <br />Nllning and Safely <br />PO Box 60340 <br />Grand Junction, CO 81506 <br />RE: Bowie Resources LLC - Bowie No. 2 Mine <br />Vegetation Plan <br />Dear Mr. Stover, <br />We received your letter of May 2, 2008 regarding your request for the Division of Wildlife to review the <br />vegetation plan for the reclamation of Bowie No. 2 Mine. <br />The seed mix no. 8 for the planting of shrub clumps seems to be an appropriate mix for the site. The location of <br />the shrub clumps as shown in map 18 is also acceptable. It will probably be necessary to temporarily fence the <br />plantings with a six foot fence in order to keep wildlife browsing from limiting the success of the reclamation <br />efforts: <br />Due to past difficulties on reclamation sites with establishing woody plants at standard densities, we agree that the <br />concept of trying to establish shrub clumps may result in better success and it is worth a try. <br />If you have any other questions, comments or concerns please contact District Wildlife Manager Kirk Madariaga <br />at PO Box 426 Paonia, CO 81428, 970-527-4419. <br />Sincerely, <br />J Wenum, AWM <br />1:?? - <br />Cc: Tom Spezze-SW Regional Manager <br />Jon Holst-SW Energy Coordinator <br />'--j Joe Dudash, DRM & S <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, Hams D.
