EXHIBIT H <br />Wildlife Information <br />The project area was surveyed for general wildlife habitat by Ecological Resource Consultants <br />(ERC). A wildlife memo from ERC is attached which describes the wildlife habitat present on the <br />site and the common species that may be found in the habitat area. <br />ERC also screened the project area for threatened, endangered, and species of concern. They <br />found that migratory birds, which are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, exist in the <br />area but are unlikely to nest in the project area due to the ongoing agricultural activities. GP <br />Ranches, LLC. will have the project area surveyed for active nesting sites if any disturbance of <br />the project area is expected to occur during the primary eastern Colorado nesting season (April <br />1 to August 15), per US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) recommendations. <br />No threatened or endangered species populations protected under the Endangered Species Act <br />were identified directly in the project area. <br />No State endangered or threatened species, protected by the Colorado Division of Wildlife <br />(CDOW) under Colorado Statute Title 33, were identified as potentially inhabiting or nesting <br />within the Study Area. <br />Attached is ERC's screening report of threatened, endangered, and species of concern, and a <br />letter from the USFWS with their comments on the report. <br />4 0 GP Ranches, LLC. <br />' JaT Consulting, Inc.
