Inc. - Fillmore <br />Pit - 112 application. <br />Dear Mr.Humphries, <br />I am providing Colorado Division of Wildlife (.CDOW) comments <br />regardin@' the above referenced mining application, based on <br />application review and field surveillance by District Wildlife <br />Manager, John Tonko. <br />The Division, once again, recommends that a buffer area for the <br />wetlands within the pit area be buffered by a distance of 200-300 <br />feet vex•sus the 100 feet stated. Resource protection with only a <br />100 foot buffer will be questionable. <br />Rather than have some portions of this operation go unreclaimed for <br />the entire 10 year life of the project, the Division recommends <br />concurrent reclamation such that no more than 5-10 acres be left <br />unreclsiRed at a time. <br />Revegetation/reclamation of mined areas is questionable without a <br />firm commitment to water vegetation and to insure viability through <br />at least two growing seasons, The Division reiterates the <br />recommendation that vegetation be watered to insure that <br />revegetation occurs. <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, Hamlet J.
