Dunfee: <br />ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS <br />Jl1' 1 ~ 1992 <br />PEABOOy COA~ICOMPANY <br />REFER TO <br />For Il`ildli(c- <br />For Pcaple <br />• In regards to your request for information on threatened and <br />endangered species within the areas of Peabody's proposed <br />exploration activities I find that the only specie that might be <br />affected is the Greater Sandhill Crane This bird is currently <br />listed on Colorado`s endangered specie list. The Division has <br />identified nest sites in the following areas: <br />1. T5N R87W Sec(s);34 and•35 (Fish Creek) <br />2. T6N R87W Sec 20 (Sage Creek) <br />In both these drainages the nests are located adjacent to the <br />streams in wetland habitats. Nesting activity will have been <br />completed by the time your exploration activities commence. <br />Additionally, unless you were working within very close proximity •• <br />to a nest site, no negative impacts would be anticipated. <br />Based on the timing of the proposed exploration activities I do not <br />anticipate any negative impacts to this specie. <br />//~~''~~ iR n~ cer'ely~~~~~~ <br />( \ James M.
