This report regards the Aggregate Industries Briohton <br />site in Adams County, Colorado (Sections 14 and 23, Township 1 South, Kange 67 West). "I~ie <br />project, as proposed, may disturb wetlands and other riparian habitats. <br />Given your comppliance with the Prebte's survey guidelines, the Service finds the report acceptable <br />and agrees that Preble's habitat is not present within the subject area. Thus, the Service concludes <br />that development or other actions on this site should not directly affect the continued existence of <br />Preble's. Should Preble's po ulations exist downstream from the site, actions on the site that result <br />in significant modification ofPPreble's habitat downstream (for example, through alteration of <br />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 />Sincere <br />`~ ~, ~7 <br />eR y ~azlson <br />Colorad666666 Field Supervisor <br />cc: U.S. Army COE, Littleton, CO <br />Plage <br />Reference:PetedPMJM2000.230 <br />
