Site 00 <br />Habitat Survey <br />Site 00 is situated just west of the East Flatiron access road in a meadow, which <br />has revegetated to 4-6 foot snowberry. Aspect isnorth-northeasterly on an <br />approximate 15% side slope at an elevation of about 8800 feet. The location is <br />surrounded by aspen stands with sub-alpine fir and Engelmann spruce scattered <br />throughout the vicinity. <br />Threatened, Endangered, Sensitive and Management Indicator Species <br />During habitat and wildlife surveys no Threatened, Endangered, Sensitive or <br />Management Indicator species were observed. <br />Raptors <br />There is suitable raptor nesting habitat (especially for accipiters) within a 1/4 <br />mile radius of the site. No raptor nests were located during the surveys. <br />Bird Survey <br />Both the diversity and density of birds were what would be expected for the <br />habitat types found around the drill site. All species observed are known to <br />commonly utilize these habitat types for nesting and brood rearing. (See <br />Table 1) <br />Site EEE <br />Habitat Survey <br />This site is located about 2000 feet west of the East Flatiron access road in a <br />decadent aspen stand where the larger trees have died and fallen to the ground. <br />Aspen regeneration is evident with snowberry being the predominant understory <br />vegetation. A few Engelmann spruce and sub-alpine fir trees are scattered <br />throughout the general vicinity and along the access route. Slope is gentle (0-10%), <br />aspect is slightly eastward and the elevation is just over 8900 feet. <br />The access road traverses through an aspen overstory and a snowberry understory <br />on a gentle grade. <br />
