Colorado’s Conservation Data Explorer Project Review Report <br />Project ID: CODEX-2272 Review Date: 7/20/2023 10:43:54 AM <br />Project Report: <br />The information contained herein represents the results of a search of Colorado's Conservation Data <br />Explorer (CODEX) and can be used as notice to anticipate possible impacts or identify areas of interest. <br />This tool queries multiple conservation datasets and includes a synthesis of Colorado Natural Heritage <br />Program (CNHP) and Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) data for sensitive animal and plant species and <br />natural communities. Care should be taken in interpreting these data. <br />Please note that the absence of data for a particular area, species, or habitat does not necessarily mean <br />that these natural heritage resources do not occur on or adjacent to the project site, rather that our files <br />do not currently contain information to document their presence. CODEX information should not replace <br />field studies necessary for more localized planning efforts, especially if impacts to wildlife habitat are <br />possible. Although every attempt is made to provide the most current and precise information possible, <br />please be aware that some of our sources provide a higher level of accuracy than others, and some <br />interpretation may be required. CODEX data is constantly updated and revised. Please contact CNHP, <br />CPW and our partners for assistance with interpretation of this report or to obtain more information. <br />Disclaimer: <br />1.This is a preliminary environmental screening tool. It is not a substitute for the potential <br />knowledge gained by having a biologist conduct a field survey of the project area. This review <br />does not constitute environmental consultation (including federal consultation under the <br />Endangered Species Act), land use permitting, or the review of site-specific projects by <br />CNHP and CPW and our partners. <br />2.This Project Report is based on the project study area that was entered. The report must be <br />updated if the project study area, location, or the type of project changes. <br />3.The Conservation Data Explorer (CODEX) data is constantly changing and being updated and is <br />not intended to be the final word on the potential distribution of special status species. Colorado is <br />large and diverse with plants, animals, and environmental conditions that are ever changing. <br />Consequently, many areas may contain species that biologists do not know about or species <br />previously noted in a particular area may no longer occur there. CODEX data contains <br />information about species occurrences that have actually been reported to CNHP, CPW and our <br />partners. Not all of Colorado has been surveyed for special status species, and surveys that have <br />been conducted have varied greatly in scope and intensity. Such surveys may reveal previously <br />undocumented population of species of special concern. <br /> <br />Page 2 of 17
