2/26/2014 State.co.us Executive Branch Mail - F\&d: Williams Fork- Sage Grouse Question <br />Ebert - DNR, Jared <jared.ebert @state.co.us> Tue, Feb 25, 2014 at 2:13 PM <br />To: Alysha Hernandez - DNR <alysha.hernandez @ state.co.us>, Mary Rodriguez - DNR <br /><mary.rodriguez @state.co.us> <br />Jared /Sandy — <br />Thanks for your time yesterday, appreciated the opportunity to review and discuss status and direction for our <br />Williams Fork Property. <br />As I mentioned, I had contacted Liza Rossi with CPW re: any mapping of Sage Grouse leks for the Williams <br />Fork Property. She referred me to Brian Holmes, who is the grouse specialist out of the CPW Meeker Office that <br />is responsible for Area 6, which includes the Williams Fork Property. Brian sent me the attached map showing <br />both identified Sage Grouse and Sharp - Tailed Grouse Iek locations in the Williams Fork area. <br />As you will note, there is only one identified Sage Grouse Iek location in the area (on the edge of Big Bottom <br />near the reclaimed Williams Fork Strip Pit), and Brian indicated that it had not been active in the last 15 years. <br />He also indicated that given the success of Sharp -Tail reestablishment on mine reclaim areas (Twentymile and <br />Trapper), he has no concerns about potential adverse mining impacts on Sharp - Tails. Given this information, it <br />doesn't appear that a Section 7 consultation would be necessary or appropriate for the renewal. I will integrate <br />this information into the permit updates to be provided as a TR for the Renewal /Mid -Term — <br />Best regards, <br />Jerry <br />https: / /mail.g oog le.conVmai I /u /0 / ?ui =2 &i k= e29129fcb5 &viev�-- pt &search =i nbox&th= 1446ae5915a01655 1/2 <br />
