<br />The U.S, Fish and Wildlife Service has determined at thi~ point that a fish and wild- <br />life coordination act rejXlrt would not be required if the reconnaissance-level plan were <br />recommended. It has stated in its letter dated 7 November 1990 (refer 10 Appendix A) <br />that a planning aid letter may suffice. As was discussed previously, it has also expressed <br />concern for potential impacts to a plant species proposed for listing as a threatened <br />species. A survey for this species would be required during any fcasibilily studi esthat <br />may be conducted. <br /> <br />The Colorado Division ofWi!dlife has expressed concern thatlhe Preble's meadow <br />jumping mouse, a State species ofspecia\ concern, may exist in the project area. A <br />SllrvCY for this species would be rcquired during feasibility studies. Impacls on the <br />Johnny darter and common shiner are also of concern 10 the CDOW because they are <br />State spe:cie.~ of special concern that inhabit the Cache la Poudre River in the Fort Collins <br />~~. <br /> <br />The Larimer County Health Department had no specific comment~ al this lime on <br />the potential contamination along lhe channcl diversion (ahgnment B). <br /> <br />The Colorado Division of Highways' (DOH) plans for the Fort Collins Expressway <br />west of College Avenue arc currently on hold: however,. continued involvement and <br />coordination with the DOH during any additional studies would be required, Tile <br />reconnaissance-level plan, tile channe1 diversion, would cross the proposed alignment of <br />the expressway at Hickory Street. The impacts the diversion channel would have on the <br />proposed exprl'ssway and vice.versa were not determined during this phase of study; <br />however, it would appear that thede~ign and con$tr\Jction of the channel diversion could <br />bcintcgraled with the preliminary e~prcSSWa)' plan. <br /> <br />8.' <br />
