The Dolores River contains three BLM- designated Sensitive Species of fish that are also <br />of great concern to CPW: bluehead sucker, flannelmouth sucker, and roundtail chub. <br />These species are declining and are sensitive to any additional water depletions or <br />changes in water quality in the Dolores River Basin. If any water is necessary for mining <br />operations, or if any discharge of water from the mine is encountered, please contact the <br />BLM and the CPW to discuss how to manage your operations to provide adequate <br />protection for these species. <br />Thank you again for the opportunity to comment on the proposed SR -11 Mine. If <br />necessary please contact the BLM and the CPW to recommend suitable off -site habitat <br />enhancement projects to mitigate for direct and indirect losses of big game severe winter <br />range habitat. Our field personnel are available to assist you with designing these <br />projects and selecting a location with the highest potential for success. <br />If you have further questions please contact myself or District Wildlife Manager Tony <br />Bonacquista at (970) 864 -7109. <br />Sincerely <br />__,,__ c _._z_Rc_ <br />Renzo DelPiccolo <br />Area Wildlife Manager <br />970.252.6010 <br />cc: Tony Bonacquista -DWM, Tom Spezze- Southwest Region Manger <br />STATE OF COLORADO <br />John W.
