Based on the location and type of action being proposed, CPW <br />believes impacts to the wildlife resource to be negligible. This project is basically no <br />change from the existing conditions with the exception of the amount of traffic that will <br />be on the property on a daily basis. <br />Minimal impacts will occur on a couple species. The deer that utilize the area regularly <br />should adapt to the volume of traffic and will likely just disperse to adjoining areas of the <br />hayfields in that vicinity. Prairie dog burrows will be disturbed on the parcel that is <br />immediately being mined, but we anticipate re- establishment of the prairie dogs on the <br />reclaimed areas in fairly short order. <br />Thank you for providing this opportunity to comment. Please feel free to contact our <br />local CPW office at 719 -530 -5520 should you have any further needs or questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />ames L.
