Standards for Public Land Health: In January 1997, Colorado BLM approved the Standards for Public Land Health. These standards cover upland soils, riparian systems, plant and animal communities, threatened and endangered species, and water quality. Standards describe conditions needed to sustain public land health and relate to all uses of the public lands. Because a standard exists for these five categories, a finding must be made for each ofthem in an environmental analysis. These findings are located in specific elements listed below. AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT / ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES / MITIGATION MEASURES: CRITICAL ELEMENTS AIR QUALITY Affected Environment: Air quality in the area is, generally, good to excellent. Environmental Consequences/Mitigation: None ofthe considered alternatives will result in negative impacts to air quality. No specific mitigation is necessary. CULTURAL RESOURCES Affected Environment: None Environmental Consequences/Mitigation: A single site was recorded within the project area, however, it has been determined to be ineligible for the National Register of Historic Places [see report CR-RG-05-l06 (P)]. Therefore, the proposed project will have no effect on any historic properties. ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE Affected Environment: There are no minority or low-income populations in or near the project area. Environmental Consequences/Mitigation: The proposal will not have a disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effect on minority or low- income populations.
