Adjacent areas east of U.S. 85 are also intensively used by humans for agriculture and other purposes, <br />including equipment and materials storage and high-density residential occupancy (mobile home park). <br />U.S. 85 is a heavily traveled highway between the site and the South Platte. <br />Nearby areas west of U.S. 85, adiacent to the river, also support intensive human activity, and existing <br />sand and gravel mining occurs along nearby river segments. <br />For these reasons, it is reasonable to conclude that any species vulnerable to high levels of human activity <br />and noise, such as would be associated with mining, are already absent from otherwise suitable onsite or <br />offsite habitats or have habituated to the human activity and would be unaffected by the additional <br />disturbance. <br />SW TKO Joint Venture, LLC. -Adams Sand and Gravel Mine -112 Reclamation Permit Amendment page 26 <br />
