Colowyo, C1981-019, PR3 adequacy No. 2 13 April 22, 2011 <br />increased shrub survival and density. The Division would like to see a more proactive fencing <br />plan to prevent the destruction of the shrubs rather than a reactive approach after "excessive <br />damage (severe hedging) to those populations is noted." Please submit a comprehensive <br />fencing plan which addresses: location of exclosure (include a map), size of the exclosure and <br />plant community in the exclosure. <br />11. Page 112, last paragraph - The use of the "banding" technique is not warranted on slopes with <br />a gradient less than 10%. The Division feels that the techniques of contour furrows, surface <br />roughening and seeding on the contour, already proposed by Colowyo, is adequate for erosion <br />control on these slopes. Please remove this paragraph from the text. <br />This item has been resolved. <br />12. Page 113, last paragraph - The use of the word indication/indicated is unclear in this sentence. <br />Please revise.bfb <br />CCC removed the word "indicated". This item has been resolved. <br />13. Please address all of the items in the vegetation section of the attached CDOW letter dated Feb <br />15, 2011 in this section of the permit. <br />This item has been resolved. <br />2.05.6(2) Fish and Wildlife Plan <br />1. During the Division's Adequacy Review for PR-3, the Division received comments from the <br />Division of Wildlife (attached letter Feb 15, 2011) pertaining to the mitigation of impacts to <br />wildlife. The Division will not make further comments about CCC's wildlife mitigation plan <br />until Colowyo has had a chance to review this letter and make appropriate changes to PR-3. <br />CCC replied in the cover letter but did not change any permit text. Please document any new <br />meetings with CDOW. At the time of the Division's second Adequacy Review for PR-3 (April <br />2011), Colowyo was in the process of contacting the Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW) <br />to discuss the issues raised in CDOW letter dated Feb 15, 2011. The Division will not make <br />comments about Colowyo's wildlife mitigation plan until Colowyo submits a plan <br />incorporating the results of the meeting. <br />Rule 2.05.60)(a) Protection of the Hydrologic Balance <br />The application contains limited permit text narrative with regard to impacts to registered <br />ground water users due to pit dewatering and development and is deficient with regard to <br />impacts to ground water users (see discussion above under Rule 2.04.7(3)). Please expand the <br />permit text narrative under the section discussing probable hydrologic consequences to ground <br />water quantity, with particular emphasis on discussion of impacts to wells owned by others.
