It is also our understanding that in <br />addition, Trapper Mine intends to construct a new haul road segment and a new diversion ditch for <br />diverting mining related runoff. CPW recognizes that the proposed surface disturbance is within an <br />area that is currently approved for disturbance. <br />CPW has worked collaboratively with the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement <br />(OSMRE) and Trapper Mine to develop site-specific mitigation that will help reduce, minimize or avoid <br />impacts to wildlife and wildlife habitat. These mitigation practices have been documented via other <br />correspondence documents with OSMRE as it related to the initial Trapper Mine Permit Revision (PR -9) <br />of 2018. At this time CPW has no additional mitigation recommendations for the proposed revision. <br />CPW appreciates the opportunity to provide comments for the Technical Revision to the Mine and <br />Reclamation Plan. For additional information, please contact District Wildlife Manager, Evan Jones at <br />PHONE # 970-942-7696 or by email at evanm.jones@state.co.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />Bill de Vergie, Area Wildlife Manager <br />Cc: Evan Jones, District Wildlife Manager, Craig South <br />
