Box 879 <br />Idaho Springs, CO 80452 <br />Mr.McHale, <br />LO??O a <br />y <br />OF <br />For Wildlife- <br />For People <br />Thank you for inviting me up to inspect your project yesterday in Hukill Gulch, north of Idaho Spring in Clear <br />Creek County. Your explanation ofthe tailings impoundment, mobile mill site equipment, milling process and <br />reclamation plan was helpful. I appreciate your efforts to reclaim the mine tailings in the area and improve the <br />property for wildlife. <br />I believe your project will, at a minimum, be wildlife neutral in its impact to local wildlife populations. With <br />strategic vegetation planting in your reclamation process, in addition to the removal of acid forming materials, the <br />project could result in a net positive impact on local wildlife populations. <br />At this juncture, the Division is in support of this project and would be happy to assist in any further consultation <br />regarding impacts to wildlife as you move forward. You, or the Department of Mining, are welcome to call me at <br />any time with questions or clarifications at 303.916.1180. <br />Sincerely; . <br />s <br />TPetersburg <br />District Wildlife Manager- Idaho Springs <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, Harris D Sherman, Executive Director <br />WILDLIFE COMMISSION, Brad Coors, Chair • Tim Glenn, Vice Chair.
