Logan Wash Mine Annual Report <br />Permit No. M-1977-424 <br />A site plant survey conducted by BLM, USFWS, CPW (Colorado Natural Areas Program <br />[CNAP]), and WWL in September, 2014 resulted in a number of P. debilis locations being <br />mapped on both OOSI and BLM lands from the Research Mine to the Lower Bench (Figure 9). <br />On March 25, 2015, 39 P. debilis plants were transplanted from the Lower Bench Road to nearby <br />slopes that are undisturbed by vehicle/equipment traffic (Figure 10). The transplanted P. debilis <br />have been monitored for production and mortality on a monthly basis providing access was <br />achievable and snow cover negligible. Results from monitoring of the transplanted P. debilis <br />indicate a current mortality rate of approximately 26 percent. <br />On June 28, 2016, six visitors along with WWL Field Technician, Shelby Goodwin, visited <br />Logan Wash Mine to conduct quantitative monitoring on a population of Parachute penstemon <br />(Penstemon debilis) near the Lower Bench Road. Attendees included the following: Jessica Smith <br />and Lisa Merkhofer, Colorado Natural Area Program (CNAP), Jill Handwerk and Delia Malone, <br />Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP), and two BLM interns, Tifanii Rubalcaba and <br />Mandy Malone. <br />Western Water & Land, Inc. 11 <br />
