noxious weeds near the mine site on any and all roads used. In areas where existing or new roads <br />cross drainages that have even temporary flow, the CPW supports the control oftamarisk to <br />prevent further infestation. <br />The Dolores River contains three BLM- designated Sensitive Species of fish that are also of great <br />concern to CPW: bluehead sucker, flannelmouth sucker, and roundtail chub. These species are <br />declining and are sensitive to any additional water depletions or changes in water quality in the <br />Dolores River Basin. If any water is necessary for mining operations, please contact the BLM <br />and the CPW to discuss how to manage your operations to provide adequate protection for these <br />species. <br />Thank you again for the opportunity to comment on the proposed SR -13A Mine. Please contact <br />the Bureau of Land Management and the CPW to identify suitable off -site habitat enhancement <br />projects to mitigate for direct and indirect losses of big game severe winter range habitat. Our <br />field personnel are available to assist you with designing these projects and selecting a location <br />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 />o_P„,ssz., <br />Renzo DelPiccol <br />Area Wildlife Manager <br />2300 South Townsend Ave. <br />Montrose, CO. 81401 <br />Colorado Parks and Wildlife <br />cc: Tony Bonacquista -DWM, Tom Spezze- Southwest Region Manager <br />
