Gorham; <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment regarding the proposed gravel pit to be named Lorencito canyon mine <br />(Permit No. C-1996-084). A representative from the Division of Wildlife has visited the site and has the following <br />comments. <br />The Division of Wildlife does not foresee significant impacts to wildlife or wildlife habitat in the proposed area. <br />To our knowledge there are no known Threatened or Endangered species within or in close proximity to the project <br />sites. We would suggest that any ground disturbance be reclaimed to native grass species. We recommend using <br />NRCS seeding guidelines when the site is to be reclaimed. Adherence to the reclamation plan provided is optimal <br />and will provide the best benefit to the land once the mining activity is terminated. <br />Once again, thank you for the opportunity to comment on this issue. Please feel free to contact our office at 719- <br />561-5300, if you have any questions or comments regarding this or any other wildlife matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />l I <br />Michael Trujillo <br />Area Wildlife Manager <br />Colorado Division of Wildlife <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, Hams D.
