Exhibit 2 1 CPW Recommendations Sand and Gravel Mining Lease 112629; Huerfano County I July 10- 11,2019 <br /> Page 2 of 9 Page 9 of 19 <br /> occupy the site, it is recommended that earthmoving and other disturbance activities be <br /> delayed until late fall after they have migrated. <br /> CPW recommends the development and implementation of a noxious weed control plan for <br /> the site. There are several noxious weed species identified on site and the construction plans <br /> should include measures to prevent the spread of those weeds to adjacent areas. All <br /> disturbed soils should be monitored for noxious weeds and noxious weeds should be actively <br /> controlled until native plant revegetation and reclamation is achieved. <br /> Swift fox is a species of state and federal concern that lives in and around the proposed <br /> project area. The potential overlap with Swift Fox should be considered in survey protocols <br /> and timing of construction activities to identify and avoid all maternal swift fox den sites. <br /> Swift fox live here year-round, breed during December, and raise their young into the next <br /> fall. It is recommended that swift fox surveys include daylight searches for den areas and <br /> nighttime spotlight searches during August and September. Destruction of dens <br /> from December 15th through August 15th should be avoided and CPW recommends steps be <br /> taken to minimize disturbance near active dens during this time period to the extent possible. <br /> Thank you again for the opportunity to comment on this proposed sand and gravel pit.
