ERC Fairmeadows Site <br /> Threatened-Endangered Species and General Wildlife Screening <br /> 2. Generally,there are features on the survey area and the surrounding area that provide general habitat <br /> for local songbirds, raptors, and small to mid-size mammals. However, habitat within the survey area <br /> is somewhat degraded and of lower ecological value from a wildlife perspective due to historic and <br /> current land use for agriculture,which has restricted overall growth and establishment of vegetation. <br /> 3. Five (5) inactive non-raptor migratory birds and three (3) inactive non-eagle raptor nests were <br /> observed within the survey area. No eagle nests were observed within the survey area or the% mile <br /> surrounding buffer during the field inspection. No mapped CPW SAM protected areas were identified <br /> within the survey area. Any future land use changes that may occur within the survey area that <br /> remove vegetation during the active nesting season should first ensure that active nests are not <br /> disturbed. <br /> 4. No federally listed threatened and endangered species and/or habitat protected under the ESA were <br /> identified within the survey area. The survey area is not within designated critical habitat of any <br /> federally listed species. The vegetation community and features within the survey area were <br /> investigated as potential habitat for federally listed species.Any future land use changes will result in <br /> No Take on any federal listed species,their habitats,or proposed or designated critical habitat. <br /> 5. No State listed threatened or endangered species and/or habitat protected by CPW under Colorado <br /> Statute Title 33 were identified within the survey area.The vegetation communities within the survey <br /> area were investigated as potential habitat for state listed species. Any future land use changes will <br /> have no effect on any state listed species,their habitats,or proposed or designated critical habitat. <br /> This report has been prepared by: <br /> ECOLOGICAL RESOURCE CONSULTANTS, INC. <br /> Matthew Boyer, Ecologist <br /> Reviewed and approved by: <br /> � I <br /> David J.
