<br />Untverstq, <br />August 4, 1997 <br />Edith Savage <br />Savage and Savage <br />464 West Sumac Cotut <br />Louisville, CO 80027-2227 <br />Dear Ms. Savage: <br />Cobrado Natural Heritage Program <br />Callcee of Namnl RerAtgpq <br />254 Geatotl Se+vion <br />Fort Collins. Colorado 80523-1401 <br />(970) 491.7300 <br />FAX: (970)491J349 <br />The Colorado Natural Heritage program (CNHP) is in receipt of your request for information <br />regarding the Weld Courrty project. In response, CNHP has searched its Biological and <br />Conservation Datasystem (BCD) for natural heritage resotuces (occurrences of significant <br />natwal communities and raze, threatened or endangered plants and animals) documented from <br />the immediate azea of T3N R64W Seciiotu 25/36. <br />We currently have no records in ow datasystem for your study azea. Should there be relict stands <br />of shortgrass prairie, often characterized by blue •,ra;na (Bouteloua gracilis) and buffalo grass <br />(Buchloe dactyloides), found in your study area y ou may also find ferruginous hawks (Buteu <br />• regalis), black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys iudnvicionus), and burrowing owls (Arhene <br />cunicularia). These once wide ranging species „ar•e declined due to development and <br />agricultural conversion and are considered "wa!cntisted" in Colorado by CNHP (i.e. t.-acked but <br />notrnapped). <br />While the information contained herein represents a thorough search of CNHP's Biological and <br />Conservation Datasystem, any absence of data does not necessarily mean that other natural <br />heritage resources do not occw on or adjacent to the project site, but rather that ow files do not <br />currently. contain information to document their presence. Also, although every attempt is made <br />tp pro ~•ide the most rurrent and urecise information possible, please be aware that some of ow <br />sources provide a higher level of accuracy than others, and some interpretation may be required. <br />CNHP's datasystcm is constantly updated and revised. Please contact CNHP for an update on <br />this palatal heritage information if a significant amount of time passes before it is used. <br />Sincerely, <br />.~ <br />l~ / - <br />Kevin Essington <br />'Environmental Review Coordinator <br />Nat~'ure <br />conse-vantyd <br />99c <br />
