III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ~o <br />January 8, 2002 RECEIVED u ~ <br />JAN 10 1001 I[n°wledge to Co Places <br />Mr. Byron Walker Division of Minerals and Geology Colorado Natural Heritage Program <br />Division of Minerals and Geology College of Natural Resources <br />254 Geceral Services <br />1313 Sherman St., Rm. 215 Forccolltas, Coloraao sos2a-6ozr <br />Denver, CO 80203 (mol 49t-rao9 <br />FAXv (970)491-3349 <br />wstlv.cnhp.cobstate.edu <br />Dear Mr. Walker: <br />The Colorado Natural Heritage Progtam (CNHP) is in receipt of your request for information regarding <br />the proposed technical revision no. 55 to Pennit C-81-019 in regard to the Colowyo Coal Mine for the <br />purpose of performing quarterly inspections of certain impoundments (stock ponds). In response, CNHP <br />has searched its Biological and Conservation Datasystem (BCD) for natural heritage resources <br />(occurrences of significant natural communities and rare, threatened or endangered plants and animals) <br />documented from or in the vicinity of the permit area located in Sections 2,3,4,8,9,10,11,14,15, <br />16,17,20,21 in T3N, R93Wand Sections 13, 15, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 33, 34 in T4N, R93W. <br />The enclosed report describes natural heritage resources known from the area and gives location (by <br />Township, Range, and Section), precision of the locational information, and the date of last observation at <br />that location. Please note that "precision" reflects the resolution of original data. For example, an <br />herbarium record from "4 miles east of Colorado Springs" provides much less spatial information than a <br />topographic map showing the exact location of the occurrence. "Precision" codes of Seconds, Minutes, <br />and General are defined in the report footer. <br />The reports also outline the status of the known elements. We have included status according to Natural <br />Heritage Program methodology and legal status under state and federal statutes. Natural Heritage ranks <br />are standardized across the Heritage Program network, and are assigned for global and state levels of <br />rarity. They range from "1" for critically imperiled or extremely rare elements, to "5" for those that are <br />demonstrably secure. <br />There are several CNHP designated Potential Conservation Areas located within your project area and/or <br />its vicinity (see enclosed map). In order to successfully protect populations or occurrences, it is necessary <br />to delineate conservation areas. These conservation areas focus on capturing the ecological processes that <br />are necessary to support the continued existence of a particular element of natural heritage significance. <br />Conservation areas may include a single occurrence of a rare element or a suite of rare elements or <br />significant features. <br />The goal of the process is to identify a land area that can provide the habitat and ecological processes <br />upon which a particular element or suite of elements depends for their continued existence. The best <br />available knowledge of each species' life history is used in conjunction with information about <br />topographic, geomorphic, and hydrologic features, vegetative cover, as well as current and potential land <br />uses. <br />w~4a` ~{erit¢ge~ <br />~tORA~ <br />
