Dear Mr. Peterson:

Based on the authori conferred to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) by the Endangered
Species Act of 1973 ESA), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), the Service reviewed the Preble's
meadorv'utnping mouse Zapus hudsoniers prebler, (Prcble's~ survey report submitted with your
letter of ~eptembber 4, 2b00. This report regards the Taft Hr 1 Bridge replacement in Latimer
County, Colorado (Section 33, Township 8 North, Range 69 West). "The project, as proposed, inay
disturb wetlands and other riparian habitats.
Give:t your compliance with the Preble's survey,guidelines, the Sen7ce finds the report acceptable
and agrees that a population of Preble's is not likely to be.present ~~ithin the subject area. Thus, the
Service concludes that development or other actions on this site should not direc[ly affect the
coittinucd existence of Preble s. Should Prcble's populations exist downstream froin the site,
actions on the site that result in significant modification of Preble's habitat downstream (for
exainplc, through alteration of existing flow regimes, or sedimentation) maybe st:bject to provisions
of the I;SA.
1f the Service can be of further assistance, please contact Peter Pla!~e of aty staff at [phone].
