Four habitat types have been distinguished and described for the permit area: 1) aquatic areas <br /> associated with streams and impoundments, 2) saline/alkaline shrublands, 3) saline/alkaline <br /> meadows and 4) areas disturbed as a result of construction of the Loadout, abandoned croplands <br /> and lands improved for pasture. Lists of possible species of mammals, birds, reptiles and <br /> amphibians, of non-critical concern,have been constructed using distribution lat/long studies <br /> developed for the State of Colorado. <br /> As a part of the TR10/RN4 application, HGL provided updates regarding threatened and <br /> endangered species and a discussion concerning the potential impacts to current State and <br /> Federal Threatened and Endangered plant and animal species. <br /> A biological inventory of stream bottom fauna for Dry Creek was conducted in association with <br /> the permit application for the nearby Seneca 11-W Mine (Permit C-1982-057). All listed <br /> threatened or endangered species in the area, as well as other species of concern,have been <br /> referred to in the PAP and their habitat requirements and potential for occurrence described(as <br /> requested by both the Division and USFWS). For information on protection afforded to Dry <br /> Creek's aquatic community and any threatened and endangered species and other species of <br /> concern possibly present, please refer to Section B, Item XII of this document. <br /> Cultural Resources <br /> Information on cultural resources can be found in Volume 1, Tab 5 of the PAP.
