• Rare and Endangered Plant Species <br />To date, vegetation surveys in the area conducted by numerous governmental agencies, <br />private consultants, and Colowyo have failed to discover, or have indicated a potential <br />occurrence of, any rare and endangered plant species within the permit area. Therefore, it is <br />anticipated that there will be no potential for impacts. <br />During the 1997 Permit Renewal process the Division requested an up-to-date consideration <br />ofthe latest (August 21, 1996) USFWS list of federal threatened and endangered (T&E) plant <br />species. In particular the Piceance twinpod, (Phvsaria obcordata). Graham beardtongue, <br />(Pensteon Qrahamii), White River beardtongue (Penstemon scariosus var. albi uzis ;Dudley <br />Bluffs bladderpod (esauerella concresta) were recently listed as either listed as threatened or <br />considered for listing. Subsequent discussions with local BLM officials confirmed that these <br />species are endemic to areas along the White River and Piceance Basin and would not occur <br />in the Colowyo area. For a copy of the BLM correspondence please see Exhibit 10 <br />Vegetation Information. <br />• <br />u <br />2.04.10-17 Revision Date: 8/29/97 <br />Revision No.: TR-42 <br />
