F., IPaC Explore Location, <br /> 2020), through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), was generated for the proposed <br /> affected area of the mine on March 9, 2020. The results of the search yielded a list of <br /> potentially impacted endangered or threatened species, migratory birds protected by the <br /> Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Bald and Golden Eagle Treaty Act.The results of the report are <br /> shown below. <br /> Name Scientific Name Status Notes <br /> Prebles Meadow Jumping Mouse Zapus hudonius preblei Threatened Affected area outside critical habitat <br /> Only needs to be considered if there will be water related <br /> Least Tern Sterna antillarum Endangered activities/use in the N.Platte,S.Platte and Laramie River <br /> Basins <br /> Mexican Spotted Owl Strix occidentalis lucida Threatened Affected area outside critical habitat <br /> Only needs to be considered if there will be water related <br /> Piping Plover Charadrius melodus Threatened activities/use in the N.Platte,S.Platte and Laramie River <br /> Basins.Affected Area is outside critical habitat <br /> Only needs to be considered if there will be water related <br /> Whooping Crane Grus americana Endangered activities/use in the N.Platte,S.Platte and Laramie River <br /> Basins.Affected Area is outside critical habitat <br /> Bald Eagle Haliaeetus leucocephalus <br /> Protected uner the Bald and Not a bird of conservation concern in the area <br /> Golden Eagle Protection Act <br /> Burrowing Owl Athene cunicularia State Threatened Not a bird of conservation concern in the area <br /> Protected uner the Bald and Not a bird of conservation concern in the area <br /> Golden Eagle Aquila chrysaetos <br /> Golden Eagle Protection Act <br /> The Preble Meadow Jumping Mouse (PMJM) is not likely to be within the affected area due to <br /> the lack of a well-developed riparian habitat in the locality of the proposed mine site (Service U. <br /> F., Environmental Conservation Online System, 2020). Within the State of Colorado, the PMJM <br /> has multiple defined critical habitats, which primarily fall at the base of the foothills and within <br /> the foothills along major river corridors.The proposed affected area of the mine does not fall <br /> within, or near, the spatial extents of any critical habitat. No impacts to this species are <br /> anticipated. <br /> The Least Tern is not known to have a population within Adams county (Service U. F., <br /> Environmental Conservation Online System, 2020). No impacts to this species are anticipated. <br /> The USFWS ECOS describes spotted owls' habitat as consisting of mature forests that possess <br /> complex structural components or canyoned areas dominated by vertical walled cliffs that <br /> could contain areas that provide protected nest and roost sites usually in conjunction with a <br /> permanent source of water. Spotted Owl habitat in Colorado either consists of tall, vertical <br /> walled cliffs or mature, multi-storied canopied forests. Due to the lack of either of these habitat <br /> types within the proposed affected area, no impacts to this are anticipated. <br />
