Long Hollow Dam and Reservoir Phase I Summary Report <br /> requirements, and the potential for them to be impacted by the LHR are provided in Table 1. <br /> Because six of these species have the potential to occur in the project area or to be affected by <br /> development of the project, detailed surveys may be required prior to project authorization and <br /> construction. <br /> Nine of these T&E species were eliminated from detailed project impact consideration due either <br /> to a complete absence of potential habitat in the project analysis area or the extreme rarity of the <br /> species in or near the project area. The species eliminated include two mammals, the black- <br /> footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) and Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis); three bird species, the <br /> Eskimo curlew (Numenius borealis), Mexican spotted owl (Stix occidentalis lucida), and <br /> whooping crane (Grus americana); the boreal toad (Bufo boreas boreas); and all three plant <br /> species, Knowlton's cactus (Pediocactus knowltonii), Mancos milkvetch (Astragalus humillimus), <br /> and Mesa Verde cactus (Sclerocactus mesae-verdae). The reasons for eliminating these species <br /> from detailed impact consideration are included in Table 1. <br /> 6.2.2 Sensitive Species <br /> Ecosphere searched the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) database for state sensitive <br /> species with the potential to be affected by the project, in addition to the federally listed species <br /> addressed in the assessment. Two native fish, the roundtail chub (Gila robustus) and the <br /> flannelmouth sucker (Catostomus latipinnis), are known to occur in the La Plata River <br /> downstream of Long Hollow. The roundtail chub is considered a species of special concern by <br /> the Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW) and is listed as endangered by the State of New <br /> Mexico. The flannelmouth sucker is considered a species of special concern by the CNHP. <br /> 6.2.3 San Juan River Basin Recovery Implementation Plan <br /> The purpose of the San Juan River Basin Recovery Implementation Plan (SJRIP) is to recover <br /> two of the four Colorado River endangered fish, Colorado Pikeminnow and Razorback Sucker, <br /> while offsetting the impacts of existing water development and allowing future water <br /> 991-077.115 Wright Water Engineers, Inc.
