Royer St. Colorado Springs, CO 80903 Reply to: James E. Lockhart 1718 Lorraine St. Apt. B4 Colorado Springs, CO 80906 (719)385-0045 James Dillie Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology 1313 Shetman St., Room 215 Denver, CO 80203 Dear Mr. Dillie: RECEIVED APR 2 6 2001 Oivlsion of Minerals and Geology I am writing with regard to our telephone discussion of this date concerning the Red Canyon quarry permit application, M-1985-043. During that conversation, you advised me that there is no Exhibit H Wildlife Information submission with the current application; nor was such an Exhibit provided with the 1997 Red Canyon permit amendment application. This is because the Colorado Division of Wildlife was consulted and commented on the application, and thereby made recommendations which serve in lieu of a Wildlife Information submission. Frankly, I was unaware of this aspect of Minerals and Geology procedure when I submitted the Sierra Club's objection comments, and wonder whether the governmental agencies which commented on the application, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Colorado Division of Wildlife, were aware of it. It seems from what you tell me that the responsibility has somehow shifted from the applicant to Division of Wildlife to provide what will become the Exhibit H materials considered with respect to this permit application. I have therefore written the enclosed letters to the two agencies to inquire whether they were award of this situation and the weight which it appears to me their comments will be accorded in the upcoming permit hearing. I suggest that you likewise contact them and explain to them the effect of their submissions. Sincerely, Gn~- James E. Lockhart, Chair Pikes Peak Sierra Club Group
