Bowman Assistant Planner Garfield County Planning Department 2014 Blake Avenue Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81601 RE: Farmer Special Use Permit Dear Terry: I have reviewed the Farmer Special Use Permit application as well as their Mined Land Reclamation application and would refer you to the Reclamation/Mitigation section of the enclosed wildlife statement prepared by the Division of Wildlife. We are interested in minimizing the impacts to the riparian area of the river thus preserving valuable wildlife habitat. Preserving cottonwood trees is essential since regeneration of these trees has been all but eliminated due to the controlled flows on the river, and since they serve as habitat for numerous wildlife species including the endangered bald eagle. I would urge that the ••. far from the river as possible to permit continued use of the riparian area by ha1.1 -Lra-cifi ife. I believe the other recommendations are self explanatory. ft you have any questions, give me a call. MRG : j g xc: II 1 . 1 Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project.

L. Farmer and Sons. P. 0. Box 182 Nucla, CO 81424 The Colorado Division of Wildlife does hereby find that the impact of this operation on wildlife will be: Minor X Moderate Major Mine Name: ORTIZ PIT Mine Location: T6S, R95W, Section 35, SE', Wildlife Species List: (May be attached) Mule deer Gray fox Badger Beaver Great blue heron Bald eagle Coyote Raccoon Striped skunk Muskrat Great horned owl Numerous waterfow Endangered Species Impacted: Bald Eagle Vegetation Communities: (May be attached) This area is composed of a cottonwood overstory with an understory of willows, salt cedar, native grasses and forbs. Assessment of Impact: (May be attached) This pit is located within a bald eagle wintering corridor, however, if the recommendations listed below are followed, no adverse impact to the eagles is anticipated. Reclamation/Mitigation Recommendations: (May be attached) 1) A berm of 100 feet in width should be left between the pit and river to prevent breaching by the river. The pit is located on the outside curve of the river. 2) No cottonwood trees should be removed unless in the pit proper. Trees removed should be replaced on a 1:1 basis,. 3) The bottom and shoreline of the pit should be irregular to enhance aquatic life forms. Peninsulas are desirable. 4) An area 150-200 feet in length and located in the southeast corner should be sloped at 5:1 to encourage aquatic plants and to provide a mud flat for waterfowl. 5) Locate the batch plant as far from the river as possible. 6) Revegetate with cottonwood trees, native shrubs and grasses.
