The goal of the process is to identify a land area that can provide the habitat and ecological processes upon <br />which a particular element or suite of elements depends for their centiued existence. The best available <br />knowledge of each species' life history is used in conjunction with information about topographic, geomorphic, <br />• and hydrologic features, vegetative cover, as well as current and potentaa! land uses. The proposed boundary <br />does not automatically exclude all activity. It is hypothesized that some activities will cause degradation to the <br />element or the process on which they depend, while others will not. Consideration of specific activities or land <br />use changes proposed within or adjacent to the preliminary conservation planning boundary should be <br />carefully considered and evaluated for their consequences to the elemettt ~ which the conservation unit is <br />based. <br />The Colorado Division of Wildlife has legal authority over wildlife in the state. CDOW would therefore be <br />responsible for the evaluation of and final decisions regarding any potential egects a proposed project may <br />have on wildlife. lfyou would like more specific information regarding these or other vertebrate species in the <br />vicinity of the area of interest, please contact dte Colorado Division of Wildlife. <br />The information contained herein represents rho results of a search of Colorado Natural Heritage Program's <br />(CNHP) $iological and Conservation Data System (BCD), and can be used as notice to anticipate possible <br />impacts or identify areas of interest. Care should be taken in interpreting these data. Sensitive elements are <br />currently known from within the proposed project area, and additional, but undocumented, elements may also <br />exist (see enclosed report). Please note that the absence of data for a partiwiaz area, species, or habitat does <br />not necessarily mean that these natural heritage resources do not occur on or adjaoeni to the project site, rather <br />that our files do not currently contain information to document their presence. CNHP information should not <br />replace field studies necessary for more localized planning efforts, especially if impacts to wildlife habitat are <br />possible. <br />Although every attempt is made to provide the most current and precise information possible, please be aware <br />that some of our sources provide a higher level of accuracy Bran others, and some imerptetation may be <br />• required. CNHP's data system is constantly updated and revised. Please contact CNHP for an update or <br />assistance with interpretation ofthis natural heritage infomtation. <br />The data contained in the report is the product and property of the Colorado Natural Heritage Program <br />(CNHP), a sponsored program at Colorado State University (CSU).
