(JOJ) 297-1192 <br />John G. Althouse <br />Mine Engineer <br />Keensburg Mine <br />P.O. Box 359 <br />Keensburg, Colorado 80643 <br />Dear Mr. Althouse_ <br />Northeast Region <br />317 W. Prospect Street <br />ft. Collins, CO 50526 <br />' duly 7, 1986 <br />~o~p t<q o <br />~~ o <br />3 ~' a <br />ON OF ~v <br />~~! + ~ ~J: <br />1 have received your questions concerning reclamation measures for wildlife habitat <br />and raptor perches. <br />There are a number of species of wildlife that are involved in the area of your mine. <br />The more common species are deer, antelope, coyote, badger, fox, rabbits, skunks, <br />several species of small rodents as well as several species of raptors and seasonal <br />~gbirds. <br />Ine diversity of plants in the reclamation you are doing should mitigate the losses <br />to wildlife habitat and should also enhance it for some species. <br />In the unworked area of the mine, about the only raptor perches were and are, the <br />fence posts. However, the power line has produced some additional perches. These <br />should be adequate for the raptor hunting. It was noticed while on the area that <br />rodents are making considerable use of the reseeded area, which is also making <br />excellent raptor hunting. <br />Sine ely, <br />D n Bogart <br />Environmental Biologist <br />DB/lj <br />• <br />99b <br />AnTIA( rdi U( unf UunL RCSOUHCCS, Dawd H.
