RE : Case Number USR-1215
Dear ms . Lockman :
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Site
Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit
for the proposed Bearson Sand and Gravel Pit . These
comments are intended to supplement those previously
submitted by Rick Moss , Senior Biologist with the Division
of Wildlife , in June of 1998 . Please refer to his comments
regarding assessment of impact and mine reclamation
recommendations .
As Rick pointed out in his comments , wintering Bald Eagles
use that stretch of the South Platte River running through
the Bearson property and adjacent riparian areas for
hunting . In addition, Bald Eagles have an established night
roost in the riparian area north of the Bearson property, on
the Kuiper and Magness properties at county road 22 . 5 . A DOW
Bald Eagle monitoring project has documented eagle usage in
the vicinity of the proposed project area for the past 3
years . Observers regularly recorded 4- 10 Bald Eagles in
that area .
CDOW recommendations include elimination of activity within
1/4 mile of winter roosts during winter months , with
limited restrictions on activity out to 35 mile if there is a
direct line of sight from the roost to the activities . Since
the proximity of the roost to the proposed gravel pit is
approximately 1 mile , there should be no adverse impact on
the eagles . CDOW further recommends protection of hunting
perches from human encroachment by establishing buffer
zones of 1/8 mile (200 meters) to 1/4 mile (400 meters) from
November 15 through March 15 depending upon topographic or
vegetational screening . Monitoring data indicates that the
project area does include important hunting perches .
Daytime mining activity during this time period can be
