The proposed mining site is located in a <br /> prairie habitat adjacent to the Huerfano river corridor. <br /> There are no known Threatened and Endangered species in the area, however US <br /> Fish and Wildlife Service should be consulted on any Federally-listed Endangered <br /> and Threatened Species that might be present at the location including Bald and <br /> Golden Eagles. <br /> There is suitable habitat at or near the project location for nesting raptors and <br /> migratory birds. CPW recommends the use of preconstruction surveys to identify <br /> raptor nests within the project area and the implementation of appropriate <br /> restrictions near active nests as proposed in the report. CPW recommends <br /> adherence to the recommended buffer distances and timing stipulations identified <br /> in the attached document "Recommended Buffer Zones and Seasonal Restrictions <br /> for Colorado Raptors". Removal or relocation of any active raptor or migratory <br /> bird nest will require consultation with CPW and US Fish and Wildlife Service <br /> prior to disturbance. Both active and potential nest sites, winter night roosts should <br /> be considered when evaluating disturbance during construction. <br /> Bob D.Broscheid,Director,Colorado Parks and Wildlife•Parks and Wildlife Commission:Robert W.Bray•Matthew Burkett•Charles Garcia•Mane Haskett I It( � <br /> . o <br /> Carrie Besnette Hauser•John Howard,Chair•Marvin McDaniel•Colleen Peppier•Jennifer Rieke Taylor•James Vigit,Secretary•Michelle Zimmerman,Vice-Chair . .� <br />
