It is the responsibility of the CDOW to ensure that the wildlife resources of the State of Colorado are <br />addressed and protected for the enjoyment of the public. CDOW has reviewed the application file no. M-2010- <br />084 and offers the following comments: <br />• This application is to create a surface for livestock/wildlife water after the area is mined of usable topsoil <br />and fill material suitable for construction use. The pond will capture snow run-off and heavy storm water <br />events. This pond will be an added benefit to this area and is beneficial for wildlife. <br />All disturbed lands shall be reclaimed after mining activity has ceased. Seed mixes shall be of native <br />grasses, forbs and shrubs that are beneficial to wildlife. The CDOW does not oppose the approval of this <br />action. <br />If you have any further questions and/or comments, please feel free to contact Tom Knowles, District Wildlife <br />Manager, at (970)878-6077. <br />Thank you, <br />Bill deVergie <br />Area Wildlife Manager <br />Meeker Service Center <br />PO Box 1181 <br />Meeker, Colorado 81641 <br />Cc: Ron Velarde, NW Regional Manager <br />Dean Riggs, Assistant Regional Manger <br />Tom Knowles, District Wildlife Manager <br />Ed Winters, Land Use Specialist <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, Mike King, Executive Director <br />WILDLIFE COMMISSION, Tim Glenn, Chair • Robert Streeter, Vice Chair • Mark Smith, Secretary <br />Members, David R.
