During the sprang large concentrations of migratory <br />Canada geese and various ducks were observed. A <br />brood of mallard ducks is apparently still resident on <br />the property. Various shorebirds, primarily killdeer, <br />have been noted in the fields. A variety of other <br />common species including blackbirds, redwing <br />blackbirds, meadowlarks, crows, western <br />flycatchers, house sparrows, field sparrows, robins, <br />and other passerines have been observed on the <br />~~ ~ property. Other unnoted species could be expected to <br />occur due to migratory or nomadic movements. <br />J Further periodic observations will be made at Ihb <br />site. A list of possible species has been developed <br />+ r. Colorado laulog data and is available on request. <br />:o evidence of any endangered or threatened <br />soecies was noted during this investigation. <br />\I D. ENDANGERED SPECIES: <br />1 The determination of endangered species is <br />govertied by information provided by the Endangered <br />I Species Act of 1973 (Public Law 92-205, 93rd <br />I Congress, S. 1983, 87 Stat. 884 December 28. <br />19731: Modrfications of the Endangered Species Act - <br />Part 17 (Federal Register, Vol. 40, No. 188, Title 50. <br />- Chapter 1 Ibh The Colorado Dwision of Wildlife - <br />Wildlife in Danger (position statements issued <br />periodicallyl; and the Colorado Statutes and <br />Regulations controlling hunting <br />Endangered species regulations provide for thi-~ <br />protection and enhancement of ecosystems <br />inhabited by endangered or threatened wddhfe, and <br />for the careful protection and management of the <br />species themselves. Endangered species are those <br />species faced with extinction (imminent) throughout <br />all, or a significant portion, of their natural range. <br />Threatened species are those Species which 11) <br />appear likely to become endangered in the forseeable <br />future, or (21 are so similar in appearance to an <br />identified endangered form that both are protected tr. <br />ensure that [he endangered farm is not mistakenly <br />disturbed. <br />/The're is no evidence of any endangered or <br />threatened species in the immediate study site area <br />insofar as can be determined at the present time. <br />VEGETATION ANALYSIS <br />The Brannan Sand & Gravel Company has developed <br />a proposal to mine a site locatetl between 132nd <br />Street and the Fulton Ditch, west of Nome Street, and <br />east of Brighton Road in Adams County The property <br />totals 145.5 acres. A survey of the vegetation on this <br /><qe :^.~as conducted through July, 1980. <br />This property is farmland which has been irrigated <br />historically by the Fulton Ditch. At the present <br />approximately 90 acres are under cultivauon for <br />corn, in the northern part o(the property, and alfalfa <br />,n the southern part of the property. These two crops <br />form the dominant vegetation on the majority of the <br />II~ <br />Several other less prevalent vegetative types occur <br />intermittently on the property. The following <br />discussion summarizes the status of these area. A <br />number of very large cottonwood trees are dispersed <br />along fencerows and randomly in the north field. <br />An uncultivated area of roughly 22 acres on the west <br />central side of the property is open pasture which has <br />been invaded by prairie dogs. This mostly weedy area <br />is dominated by hull [h6tle, wild mustard, ii. <br />bindweed, prickly poppy, plantain, aster, sunflower, <br />ragweed, prickly pear cactus, clover, dandelion, and a <br />variety of other mined grasses and fortis. The east <br />central portion of this pasture is a rather marshy <br />lowland which has apparently been created by <br />overflow from the irrigation ditches. Sedges and <br />other more hydrophilic plants predominate in this <br />area. <br />A similar weedy open area of approximately 9 acres <br />surrounds the oil well on the east central side of the <br />property. Wild mustard and prickly poppy are <br />predominant in this drier area. <br />Prior gravel mining on the western side of the <br />southern field has created a now abandoned gravel <br />pit approximately 25 feet deep. A groundwater lake <br />has since formed in the bottom of the excavation, and <br />the edges of this lake are densely vegetated by <br />cattails and other aquatic plants. This emergent <br />vegetation typically invades disturbed areas <br />following the interruption. <br />The above described plant associations are typical of <br />semi-arid agricultural and pasture land. No unusual <br />or endangered plan[ species were observed during <br />this investigation. <br />ANN HODGSON <br />Resource Manager <br />I THE BRANNAN SAND & GRAVEL CO. <br />BRANNAN P/T #2 9 <br />FINAL RECLAMATION PLAN <br />O~ SCALE <br />
