The C:DOW believes it to be necessary that any projects of this kind <br />follow a review period such as this to identify impacts to wildlife, if any, and mitigate for those impacts. <br />CDOW has carefully reviewed the proposed request. by Rio Blanco County for the Richard Bachman Pit and <br />offers the following comments: <br />The proposed action is to add additional acreage to the existing pen-nit. CDOW affirms that acreage <br />expansion to the existing permit does not impact wildlife in a detrimental manner. <br />• CROW request that post mining reclamation of the gravel pit be planted to a suitable mixture of native <br />grass/forb/shrub seed that will aid in 6ffsetting negative impact to wildlife. <br />If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact Jon Wangnild, District Wildlife Manager, at <br />(970)878-6067. <br />Respectfully, <br />Bill deVergie, Area Wildlife Manager <br />Meeker Service Center <br />PO Box 1181 <br />Meeker, Colorado, 81641 <br />(970) 878-6061 <br />Cc: 'Ron .
