• 1l 333 which has an accuracy of ±0.1 grams. All production samples will he retained <br />until the Division's review process is complete. <br />Species Diversity: <br />Multiple hit data (first, second, third...) were collected in the baseline and <br />reference areas to serve as a guide for determining a suitable species diversity success <br />standard. Whereas absolute cover values were calculated based on first hit data only, <br />relative cover calculations were based on multiple hit data. <br />Threatened aad Eadaagered Species: <br />Prior to sampling, the Colorado Natural Heritage Program was contacted to <br />determine if any threatened or endangered plant species were known to exist in or <br />around the proposed area of disturbance. Their response indicated that three species, <br />Penstemon retrorsus, Cirsium perplexans, and Penstemon mensarum, were thought to <br />occur in the area or nearby. During reconnaissance and sampling, the site and adjacent <br />areas were searched for threatened or endangered plant species, with special attention <br />given to the possible existence of the above species. The site was purposely visited in <br />early May and again in late August with the intent of searching for endangered species <br />that may not have been flowering during the specific sampling period. Specimens of <br />the three species held at the University of Colorado herbarium were reviewed prior to <br />the beginning of field work. No threatened or endangered species were found on the <br />permit area or the surrounding area. <br /> <br />5 <br />
