Based both on the location and type <br />of action being proposed, the Division believes impacts to the wildlife resource to be negligible. <br />The local vegetation is made up of short grass pasture, comprised of native vegetation such as blue <br />grama and buffalo grass. It is important during reclamation of the site that native vegetation be <br />replaced to its current state. For more specific information on native vegetation, consult the local <br />NRCS office. Without adequate reclamation, the site could experience erosion problems. This makes <br />efforts to re-vegetate the site as part of the reclamation even more important. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comme to on this reclamation permit application. If you have any <br />questions or require additional in orma ion, please contact District Wildlife Manager Jeromy Huntington <br />at 719-227-5283 or via-e-mail at jeromy.huntincltonCa?state.co.us. <br />SincereLv- <br />Cory Chick <br />Area Wildlife Manager <br />XC: Area 14 File <br />SE Regional Office <br />Jeromy Huntington, DWM <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, Mike Kng, Executive Director <br />WILDLIFE COMMISSION, Tim Glenn, Chair • Robert Streeter, Vice Chair • Mark Smith, Secretary <br />Members, David R.
