JD -6 Mine Environmental Protection Plan 64 <br />The Colorado Parks and Wildlife considered the current mine plan amendment (AM -01) for the JD -6 Mine <br />and stated that "Impacts to wildlife should be minimal, and the CPW has no further comments to add" <br />(CPW, 2012). <br />14.5 Mitigation Measures for Wildlife Protection <br />The following measures have been, or will be, implemented to minimize or prevent potential harm to <br />wildlife species and habitat: <br />- Wildlife are prevented from accessing the underground workings at the JD -6 mine by a double - <br />locked steel gate while the mine is in the inactive phase of intermittent status. <br />- Noxious weeds are controlled during the current intermittent phase of mining and weed control will <br />continue throughout the project. Noxious weed control is recommended by Colorado Parks and <br />Wildlife for the preservation of the ecosystem and the survival of native plants and the wildlife that <br />depend on them. <br />- If water quality in surface runoff impoundments is deemed suitable for wildlife, based on Colorado <br />agricultural water quality standards, surface impoundments constructed for the collection of <br />stormwater runoff may serve as a local water source for wildlife. <br />4148A.120927 Whetstone Associates • <br />
