Threatened and Endangered Plant Species <br /> The Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) at Colorado State University was <br /> contacted to undertake a search of their database of natural heritage elements <br /> ("occurrences of significant natural communities and rare, threatened or endangered <br /> plants and animals") for the area within and 1.5 miles outside the permit area. The <br /> results of that search identified only the wolverine (presumed extirpated in Colorado <br /> since 1979) and the Townsend's big-eared bat (a species of concern for the BLM and <br /> Forest Service). No candidate or federally listed plant species were identified within <br /> or adjacent to the permit area. The CNHP report can be found in Appendix 8. <br /> TR-22 Drill Site Locations <br /> Technical Revision TR-22 to this permit document consisted of drilling exploration <br /> core drill holes on State of Colorado Lease CO-3388. This exploration drilling <br /> program involved completion of up to 9 boreholes, all within the C-1981-035 permit <br /> area. The boreholes further defined coal reserves for future mine planning. All of the <br /> proposed boreholes were drilled utilizing already disturbed portions of the access <br /> roads. <br /> SWCA Environmental Consultants of Durango, Colorado performed a natural <br /> resource survey of the proposed drill sites and issued a report dated April 11, 2014 <br /> (see Appendix 8(5). <br /> TR-26 Monitoring Well Locations <br /> Technical Revision TR-26 to this permit document consisted of drilling monitoring <br /> wells on land owned by State of Colorado Lease CO-3388, Bureau of Land <br /> Management, Travis 8v Theresa Oliger, Clay Rathjen, and Jack Wiltse.
