This report regazds the Ft. Luptou Property in Weld County, Colorado <br />(Section 30 ,Township 2 North, Range 66 West). The project, as proposed, may disturb wetlands <br />and other riparian habitats. <br />Given your compliance with the Preble's survey guidelines, the Service finds the report acceptable <br />and agrees that Preble's habitat is not present within the subject azea. Thus, the Service concludes <br />that development or other actions on this site should not directly affect the continued existence of <br />Preble's. Should Preble's populations exist downstream from the site, actions on the site that result <br />in significant modification of Preble's habitat downstream (for example, through alteration of <br />existing flow regimes, or sedimentation) maybe subject to provisions of the ESA. <br />If the Service can be of further assistance, please contact Peter Plage of my staff at (303) 275-2370. <br />Sincer , <br />(~,~~~_ <br />LeRoy W Cazlson <br />Colorado field Supervisor <br />cc: U.S. Army COE, Littleton, CO <br />Reading file <br />Project file <br />Plage <br />Reference: PetedPMJM/ 1999.268 <br />
