ERC DPG Site Threatened and Endangered Species Screening their habitat is strongly discouraged. All state listed species were screened as potential inhabitants of the survey area based on general habitat requirements and CPW Species Profiles (CPW 2015). ERC evaluated the species listed by CPW as threatened or endangered that could potentially exist on the survey area. All animal species listed above as threatened or endangered by the USFWS are also listed by the CPW as threatened or endangered, respectively,therefore were not duplicated below. Species Not within Range of the Survey area The following listed threatened and endangered species are identified to occur within the state (CPW 2019). However,these species are not known to exist within the specific vicinity of the survey area and/or have specific habitat requirements(i.e.,elevation range)that are not common in the vicinity of the survey area (CPW 2019 and USFWS 2019).

The species are not likely to occur within the survey area and therefore, the proposed project or any future land use changes would not likely adversely affect the continued existence or available habitat of the species. 15
