Game Birds <br />Mourning Dove, Blue grouse and Band -tailed Pigeons <br />Water Foul and Other Birds <br />Mallards, Common goldeneye, Robin, Dark -eyed Junco, Blue Gray Gnatcatcher, Yellow <br />Warbler, Green -tailed Towhee, and Rufous -sided Towhee <br />Amphibians and Reptiles <br />Gopher Snake, Wandering Garter Snake and Chorus Frog <br />Endangered or Threatened Species <br />Periodic review of threatened and endangered species (T&E) and their Delta County habitats is <br />required. The T&E species lists provided on the Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) and the <br />United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) websites were reviewed for inclusion in Minor <br />Revision -29. The CPW site listed species in the state of Colorado and the USFWS site listed <br />species found in Delta County Colorado. There are no plans to expand the TCC coal handling <br />facilities at this time. In fact, all screening and associated transportation facilities were removed <br />in 2015 and operations have ceased. <br />The USFWS site describes nine T&E species and candidates that may occur in Delta County. <br />None of these species has been discovered on the TCC property. <br />Yellow -billed Cuckoo is listed as federally threatened. Populations are believed to occur in <br />parts of Western Colorado as well as in many other western states. <br />Gunnison sane -grouse is listed as federally threatened. Populations are believed to occur in <br />parts of Central Western Colorado and in parts of Eastern Utah. <br />Colorado pikeminnow and Greenback Cutthroat trout, are listed as federally threatened. <br />These populations are known to exist in offsite areas in the lower parts of the Gunnison River. <br />No populations are known to appear near TCC. <br />Razorback sucker and Humpback chub are listed as federally endangered. These <br />populations are known to exist in offsite areas in the lower parts of the Gunnison River <br />Hookless cactus is listed as federally threatened and is known to exist between Montrose and <br />Grand Junction. TCC operation has no effect on this species. <br />Clay -Lovina wild buckwheat is listed as federally endangered and is found between Montrose <br />and Delta. The TCC operation has no effect on this species. <br />Canada Lynx is listed as federally threatened. There is no suitable habitat for the Canada <br />Lynx located at or near TCC. <br />North American Wolverine is listed as a candidate for federally threatened status. There is <br />no suitable habitat for the Wolverine located at or near TCC. <br />Based upon current information for these nine species, the continued existence of the TCC <br />property will not adversely affect or contribute to a loss of viability for any of these T&E or <br />candidate species or their habitats. <br />MR -30 2.04-17 Rev. 3/19 <br />
