Based both on the location and type of action that has been taken CPW recognizes 2 species that may be affected. Least Terns and Piping Plovers Least Tern and Piping Plover Production Areas: Piping plovers are federally listed as endangered and least terms are recently delisted from the Endangered Species List but still managed under existing federal agreements CPW has with Bureau of Reclamation and US Army Corps of Engineers. CPW recommends a No Surface Occupancy / No Ground Disturbance (NSO/NGD) stipulation year-round if these parcels are within mapped production habitats and a timing limitation with no permitted or authorized human activities within 0.5-mile of a nest from April 1 to July 31. If there is suitable habitat outside of identified production areas, pre-construction or pre-disturbance surveys for nesting birds are recommended. The north shore of John Martin reservoir is known to be a production area for these two species. There are not any known nesting sites in the area of the Clayton Gravel pit. Therefore we would recommend pre-construction/pre-disturbance surveys be done. We appreciate being given the opportunity to comment.
