Even if these reptile species were present, this <br />project would not be a detriment to the entire species as a whole. Therefore, impacts <br />should be minor. <br />We would be happy to be involved and possibly provide input to the reclamation <br />efforts associated with this project and others like it if at all possible in the future. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this issue. If you have any <br />questions, please feel free to reach officer Brown or myself at 719-561-5305. <br />Sin rely, <br />~JG1Afi,~- 1 <br />Kevin Kaczmarek <br />Habitat Biologist <br />Area 11 <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, Greg E.
