<br />5. Historic Values: <br />There are no known historic or archeological sites in the Base II area. <br />This has been verfied by the State Historical Society. <br /> <br />6. Fish and Wildlife Values: <br /> <br />At present the entir", area does not provide any significant wildlife <br /> <br /> <br />habitat due to its already developed chalCacter and intense human <br /> <br />activity associated with the ski area, Although the total acreage of <br /> <br /> <br />terrestrial wildlife habitat will be reduced by the proposed <br /> <br /> <br />development, the proposals for mitigation specify an upgrading and <br /> <br /> <br />enhancement of currently destroyed and degraded terrestrial and <br /> <br />aquatic habitat. (See Part II Section C) Treatment of mine drainage <br /> <br /> <br />will help improve existing water quality. (See Part II Section D) No <br /> <br />direct or indirect loss or damage to fish and w ildlif e w il.l occur through <br /> <br /> <br />protective erosion control and runoff measures. Habitat will be <br /> <br /> <br />improved through in-stream improvements and together with improved <br /> <br /> <br />water quality, '\viiI contribute to a better fishery. (See fol.lowing <br /> <br /> <br />response to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Colorado Division of <br /> <br />Wildlife) <br /> <br />7. Flood Damage Preven',ion: <br />No development will occur withi.n the 100-.year floodway, as designated <br />by the Flood Insurance Administration. Staff from the Colorado Water <br />Conservation Board has reviewed the proposed plan and has determined <br />that no increase to flood hazard is anticipated as a result of <br />development on the proposed permit areas. (See fol.lowing response to <br />Key Condo Home Owner's Association) <br /> <br />8. Land Use: <br /> <br />The application is consistent with the Base II Master Plan which was <br />adopted August 17, 1'180, by the Regional Planning Commission for <br />Summit County and has been endorsed by the Board of County <br />Commissioners. (See Part I Section B and Appendix) In addition, the <br />County Commissioners have endorsed the issuance of a comprehensive <br />404 Permit for the entire 13ase II area and commented favorably on its <br />approval. <br /> <br />-8- <br />
