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 continued 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 potential 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 element on 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 effects a proposed project may <br /> have on wildlife. If you would like more specific information regarding these or other vertebrate species in the <br /> vicinity of the area of interest,please contact the Colorado Division of Wildlife. <br /> The information contained herein represents the results of a search of Colorado Natural Heritage Program's <br /> (CNHP)Biodiversity Tracking and Conservation System(BIOTICS), and can be used as notice to anticipate <br /> possible impacts or identify areas of interest. Care should be taken in interpreting these data. Sensitive <br /> species and natural community records are currently known from within the actual proposed project,and <br /> additional,but undocumented,elements may also exist(see enclosed species PDF report). We also searched <br /> our watch-Iisted species observation database(for non-fully tracked species)and found additional records(see <br /> enclosed observations PDF report). Please note that the absence of data for a particular area,species,or <br /> habitat does not necessarily mean that these natural heritage resources do not occur on or adjacent to the <br /> project site,rather that our files do not currently contain information to document their presence. CNHP <br /> information should not replace field studies necessary for more localized planning efforts,especially if impacts <br /> to wildlife habitat are 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 than others,and some interpretation may be <br /> required. CNHP's data system is constantly updated and revised. Please contact CNHP for an update or <br /> assistance with interpretation of this natural heritage information. <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).
