The site appeared to have been previously disturbed and supports grasses, sagebrush, aster, and daisy.

Some Gambel's oak, chokecherry, and serviceberry will be removed as a result ofthe drill pad; however, the majority ofthe site occurs within a small clearing. The site is on top of a bench leading up to the West Flatiron. The site is accessed by an existing ATV/4 wheel drive trail that will require minimal grading prior to drilling. Several sensitive species mayoccasionallyusethistypeofhabitat,andmaybepresentatthesite. These species include: dwarf shrew, fox sparrow, and Lewis' woodpecker.
