CThreatened and.Endangered Species • <br />The "Illustrated Guide to Proposed Threatened and Endangered <br />Plant Species in Colorado" (USDI Fish and Wildlife Service, 1978) was <br />reviewed to determine if any threatened or endangered species were <br />encountered on the Allen Mine permit area. No such species were <br />found while sampling or surveying the area for species composition. <br />Other Comments <br />The current "grassland" type that occurs between the <br />Purgatoire River and Highway 12 at the Allen Mine has been drastically <br />disturbed. The State Department of Highways used this area for <br />obtaining roadbed materials. The area was subsequently reseeded to <br />crested wheatgrass. Because of this disturbance, no true grassland <br />currently exists at the Allen Mine. The grassland reference area at <br />the Maxwell Mine will be used for reclamation planning and comparisons <br />at the Allen Mine. <br />L <br />16 <br />
