<br />FONSI <br /> <br />CO-200-2005-0037 EA <br /> <br />The environmental assessment, analyzing the environmental effects of the proposed action, has <br />been reviewed. The approved mitigation measures result in a Finding of No Significant Impact <br />on the human environment. Therefore, an environmental impact statement is not necessary to <br />further analyze the environmental effects of the proposed action. <br /> <br />RATIONALE: No significant impacts were identified in the analysis. <br /> <br />DECISION RECORD <br /> <br />DECISION: It is my decision to implement the Proposed Action as described in the EA. BLM <br />will initiate preparation of a Cooperative Management Agreement with the Town of Buena Vista <br />to cover that portion ofthe overall project on public lands. <br /> <br />RATIONALE: The project will only have a minimal impact on the affected public lands and <br />generally meets the Standards for Public Land Health. No significant impacts were identified in <br />the analysis. <br /> <br />MITIGATION MEASURES: <br /> <br />1. Any authorization for this project must contain acknowledgement of the prior existing <br />right for the Federal land withdrawal reservation for a water power site by Executive <br />Order #92. <br />2. To avoid "take" of migratory birds, habitat disturbances are prohibited during the April <br />15 - July 15 timefrarne. <br />3. In order for this project to get approval from other agencies, the proponent needs to get a <br />Phase II, Storm Water Discharge permit from the State of Colorado, and a 404 Permit <br />from the Army Corps of Engineers <br />4. As part of the Cooperative Management Agreement that will be developed, a mitigation <br />plan will be prepared to deal with impacts to riparian vegetation. <br />5. Any reseeding that may occur will use only native species. <br />6. Project work in the river will be timed to avoid the spawning and egg incubation <br />concerns that DOW has. <br />7. To ensure conformance with the travel management signage that is used on BLM and <br />National Forest lands, the proponent shall use the standard trail use symbols for <br />designating foot and bicycle trails. <br />
