In regards to the Section 7 <br />consultation, given that Greater Sage Grouse has been added as a candidate species, the appropriate sections <br />of 2.04.11 — Fish and Wildlife Information, Section 2.05.6(2) — Fish and Wildlife Plan and Exhibit 15A — <br />Threatened, Endangered and Sensitive Species Information within the permit will need to be updated for this <br />species. If MCM believes that current and future activities at the site will not impact Greater Sage Grouse, <br />documentation to that end will need to be included in the appropriate sections of the permit. <br />The updated sections of the permit as well as water depletion information will be submitted to OSM when we <br />receive your response to the adequacy review comments. OSM will make a determination if a Section 7 <br />consultation is necessary. My experience with the last permit renewals at Hayden Gulch Loadout and the <br />Trapper Mine, OSM will likely initiate the Section 7 consultation. <br />Thanks, <br />Jared <br />On Tue, Feb 25, 2014 at 11:37 AM, Nettleton, Jerry <JNettleton @peabodyenergy.com> wrote: <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 <br />that is responsible for Area 6, which includes the Williams Fork Property. Brian sent me the attached map <br />showing both identified Sage Grouse and Sharp - Tailed Grouse lek locations in the Williams Fork area. <br />https: / /mail.g oog le.conVmai I /u /0 / ?ui =2 &i k= e29129fcb5 &�iev�-- pt &search =i nboy&th= 1446aeal2el25703 1/3 <br />
