After internal review, CDOW <br />remains supportive with the agreement made on September 28, 2010 between Colowyo, CDRMS, and <br />CDOW.. <br />Specifically, CDOW agrees that Colowyo should be allowed to a reduction in the total acres of Aspen <br />and Tall Shrub plant communities to be established if the one-acre field trials proposed in TR-84 are <br />successful. Based upon Colowyo's proposed reduction in overall disturbance at South Taylor, CDOW <br />supports Colowyo's current proposal to. establish 18 acres of aspen and 12 acres of tall shrub. CDOW <br />also agrees the one-acre sites associated with the field trials should count towards Colowyo's overall <br />established acreage requirements. <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.
