Box 187 <br />Craig, CO 8162b <br />Dear Bill: <br />REFER 10. <br />L OS �D <br />Q v <br />s� OF <br />I have reviewed your request to discontinue monitoring for deer and elk <br />on the Trapper Mine site. I agree that adequate data has been collected. I <br />• also agree that resident populations of deer and elk have increased since <br />mining and reclamation activity commenced. However, I would caution you in <br />drawing conclusions about cause and effect of mining and wildlife population <br />increases. Deer and elk numbers have grown substantially in the rest of <br />northwest Colorado in the past few years, too. The success at Trapper Mine is <br />because of the outstanding job in working to reclaim wildlife habitats. We <br />have no problems with your request because of this. Please contact me if you <br />need anything else. <br />Sincerely, <br />�i <br />J im Morris <br />Wildlife Biologist <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, Hamlet J.
