2019 Biological Resources Inventory Report <br /> Table 4: <br /> State Listed Species and Their Likelihood of Occurrence Within the Project Area <br /> Taxonomic Common State <br /> Group Name Scientific Name Status Likelihood of Occurrence within the Project Area' <br /> Lake Chub Couesius plumbeus SE Unlikely to occur.The species is confined to perennial waterbodies. <br /> This species prefers deep water with large rocks,which does not <br /> occur within the Project area. <br /> Northern Phoxinus eos SE Unlikely to occur.In Colorado,known only to occur in the West <br /> Redbelly Dace Plum Creek drainage,outside of the Project area. <br /> Plains Hybognathus placitus SE Moderate potential to occur in perennial and intermittent waters <br /> Minnows connected to the South Platte River intersected by the Project area. <br /> The South Platte River is a highly degraded and braided system <br /> with shallow,sand-filled channels;the preferred habitat of the <br /> species. <br /> Rio Grande Catostomus plebeius SE Unlikely to occur.Not known to occur in the South Platte River <br /> Sucker drainage system. <br /> Razorback Xyrauchen texanus SE Unlikely to occur.The species occurs in the Colorado River <br /> Sucker system,outside of the Project area. <br /> Southern Phoxinus SE Unlikely to occur.In Colorado,known only to occur in the Upper <br /> Redbelly Dace erythrogaster Arkansas River,Fountain Creek,Chico Creek,Apishapa River,and <br /> Big Sandy Creek,outside of the Project area. <br /> Suckermouth Phenacobius SE Low potential to occur in streams with intermittent or perennial flow <br /> Minnows mirabilis intersected by the Project area.This species prefers small to <br /> medium sized creeks and rivers in eastern Colorado. <br /> Black-Footed Mustela nigripes SE Unlikely to occur.This species is very rare.Habitat once included <br /> Ferret the eastern plains,the mountain parks,and the western valleys— <br /> grasslands or shrublands that supported some species of prairie <br /> dog,the ferret's primary prey.Ferrets have been released from the <br /> captive breeding program in Colorado,but not near this Project <br /> area. <br /> Gray Wolf Canis lupus SE Unlikely to occur.This species is considered extirpated in <br /> Colorado. <br /> Grizzly Bear Ursus arctos SE Unlikely to occur.This species is considered extirpated in <br /> Colorado. <br /> Mammals' Kit Fox Vulpes macrotis SE Unlikely to occur.Range extends from Montrose to Grand Junction <br /> on the western slope of Colorado,not near the Project area. <br /> Lynx Lynx canadensis SE Unlikely to occur.This species is been released in experimental <br /> populations in the mountains of Colorado.Individuals from this <br /> experimental population have been documented to disperse widely <br /> in Colorado and have even traveled out of state,but the species <br /> prefers areas covered in snow year round,which does not occur <br /> within the Project area. <br /> Preble's Zapus hudsonius ST Unlikely to occur.Project is located in the USFWS Preble's <br /> Meadow preblei Meadow Jumping Mouse Block Clearance Zone.8 <br /> Jumping <br /> Mouse <br /> River Otter Lontra canadensis ST Moderate potential to occur in riparian areas along the South Platte <br /> River. <br /> Wolverine Gulo SE Unlikely to occur.Habitat includes tundra,taiga,boreal,and alpine <br /> biomes,which are not present in the Project area. <br /> 12 Tucson South Sand and Gravel Mine—Brighton,Colorado <br />
