1 <br /> CA EXHIBIT H <br /> CROSSFIRE AGGREGRATE <br /> SERVICES,LLC <br /> THREATENED,ENDANGERED,AND CANDIDATE SPECIES <br /> The United States Fish and Wildlife Service(USFWS) lists seven(7)species as with potential to occur in <br /> the project region.The USFWS web site:"Trust Resources List"was consulted on August 26,2014,after <br /> a field survey of the project area.Six(6)of the listed species have been eliminated from detailed <br /> evaluation as the project area either does not provide habitat for these species, it is outside of their <br /> known range,or no individuals of the species are known to occur,or have been identified within the <br /> region.These species are;Colorado pikeminnow(Ptychocheilus Lucius), razorback sucker(Xyrauchen <br /> texanus),Mexican spotted owl(Strix occidentalis lucida),southwestern willow flycatcher(Empidonax <br /> traillii extimus),yellow-billed cuckoo(Coccyzus american)and New Mexico meadow jumping mouse <br /> (Zapus hudsonius luteus).A field review of the proposed project area found no potentially suitable <br /> habitats for these six(6)species. <br /> Within the project area there is a small area(approximately 0.5 acre)of black sagebrush (Artemisia <br /> nova)on an eastern facing slope.This black sagebrush area has the remote potential for Knowlton's <br /> cactus(Pediocactus knoltonii). However,the soil type of the project area is not the same as the soils of <br /> known Knowlton's cactus site.The black sagebrush portion of the project area will be surveyed during <br /> the appropriate inspection time in the spring of 2015.See Table 1 for details on these federally listed <br /> species. <br /> Table 1:Threatened,Endangered,Candidate and Proposed Listed Species La Plata County,Coloradol <br /> i ¢ a2 4 iiif ..:"C.,:'''',.,:' ` }`4", 1 t: F '*29 : „;':'.'.,."5,, <br /> Tertiary alluvial deposits; <br /> slopes or hills;dry pinon- <br /> Knowlton's Pediocactus juniper under shade of Species not known <br /> FE from the project <br /> Cactus knowltonii trees/shrubs 1800-2000 <br /> area. <br /> m.
