Colorado 80523-1401 <br />(970)491-1309 <br />F,V(:(970) 491-3349 <br />The Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) is in receipt of your request for information <br />regarding the Weld County project. In response, CNHP has searched its Biological and <br />Conservation Datasystem (BCD) for natural heritage resources (occurrences of significant <br />natural communities and rare, threatened or endangered plants and animals) documented from <br />the immediate area of T3N R64W Sections 25/36. <br />We currently have no records in our datasystem for your study area. Should there be relict stands <br />of shortgrass prairie, often characterized by blue grana (Bouteloua gracilis) and buffalo grass <br />(Buchloe dactyloides), found in your study a.ea ) ou may also find ferruginous hawks (Buten <br />regalis), black -tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys iudovicionus), and burrowing owls (Athene <br />cunicularia). These once wide ranging species ate declined due to development 2nd <br />agricultural conversion and are considered "waicnlisted" in Colorado by CNHP (i.e. t^-acked but <br />not mapped). <br />While the information contained herein represents a thorough search of CNHP's Biological and <br />Conservation Datasystem, any absence of data does not necessarily mean that other natural <br />heritage resources do not occur on or adjacent to the project site, but rather that our files do not <br />currently contain information to document their presence. Also, although every attempt is made <br />tp provide the most current and precise information possible, please be aware that some of our <br />sources provide a higher level of accuracy than others, and some interpretation may be required. <br />CNHP's datasystem is constantly updated and revised. Please contact CNHP for an update on <br />this nattual heritage information if a significant amount of time passes before it is used. <br />Sincerely, <br />Kevin Essington <br />Environmental Review Coordinator <br />99C <br />Tim <br />Nacre <br />Conservancys <br />
