Corey Heaps <br />CAM Colorado LLC <br />June 21, 2011 <br />Page 17 <br />to the area on the west side of Reed Wash for construction equipment and topsoil <br />salvage operations. <br />Rule 2.04. 10 Vegetation Information <br />25. Rule 2.04.10(2) requires that the proposed reference area location be delineated on the <br />Vegetation Map. The map legend specifies a green dashed line as the Greasewood <br />Reference Area boundary. This line is shown along the western boundary. However, <br />along the north end of the reference area, the apparent boundary is depicted by a black <br />"vegetation type boundary" line, and along the eastern and southern sides of the area, the <br />apparent boundary is depicted by a non dashed green line that continues along the western <br />edge of the Reed Wash riparian corridor to the southern boundary of the permit area and <br />beyond. Please revise the map to clearly mark the reference area boundaries, consistent <br />with the map legend symbol. <br />CAM Response: Map -03 has been revised to correctly show the Greasewood reference <br />area with a green dashed line, and the other green lines have been changed to black to <br />denote a `vegetation type boundary'. <br />Division Response: Response accepted. <br />25a. Map 3, Permit Area Vegetation Map -- The entire permit area is not included on the <br />map. The borrow pit area on the south side of the permit boundary and the haul road <br />have been cut off. Please submit a new map that includes the entire permit area <br />including the entire haul road. <br />26. Rule 2.04.10(3) requires a vegetation map to include sufficient adjacent areas to allow <br />evaluation of vegetation as important habitat for fish and wildlife. In Exhibit 5 "Vegetation <br />Information ", narrative indicates that the vegetation boundaries of all lands within one half <br />mile of the proposed permit area are shown on Map 4, "Adjacent Area Vegetation Map ". <br />However, this is not the case; Map 4 is a large scale (1" = 300') map, which includes very <br />limited areas to the north and west of the main body of the permit area. Please include a <br />map of an appropriate scale (perhaps 1:12000) that depicts the regional vegetation <br />communities within ' /z mile of the main body of the permit area (as referenced in Exhibit <br />5). <br />CAM Response: Revised Map -04 is attached showing vegetation boundaries within one <br />half mile of the permit area. <br />Division Response: Response accepted. <br />27. On page 2 and 3 of Exhibit 5, the procedure for ensuring random location coordinates for <br />each sample transect is described. Based on the approach described, our assumption is that <br />transects would be numbered in accordance with the sequence selected, and, if 30 transects <br />
