This report regards the Varra Companies site in Weld County, <br /> Colorado (Section 28, Township 3 North, Range 67 West). <br /> Given your compliance with the Preble's survey guidelines, the Service finds the report acceptable <br /> and agrees that Preble's habitat is not be present within the subject area. Thus, the Service <br /> concludes that development or other actions on this site should not directly affect the continued <br /> existence of Preble's. Should Preble's populations exist downstream from the site, actions on the <br /> site that result in significant modification of Preble's habitat downstream (for example, through <br /> alteration of existing flow regimes, or sedimentation) may be subject to provisions of the ESA. <br /> If the Service can be of further assistance, please contact Peter Plage of my staff at(303) 275-2370. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> r—tAeRoy W.
