(ERC) previously completed the below listed environmental <br />studies for a parcel of land, referred to as the Kersey Gravel Site, located on approximately 96- <br />acres in the eastern half of Section 7, Township 5 North, Range 64 West in Weld County, <br />Colorado. <br />Environmental Studies completed by ERC include: <br />• Wetland Delineation Report for the Kersey Gravel Site Weld County Colorado, July 10, <br />2008, <br />• Screening Report of Threatened, Endangered and Species of Concern for the Kersey <br />Gravel Site, Weld County, CO May 9, 2009, <br />• Burrowing Owl Clearance Survey for the Kersey Gravel Site, Weld County, Colorado July <br />7, 2008, and <br />• Wildlife Memo, Kersey Gravel Site, September 29, 2008. <br />These studies specifically addressed environmental condition for a study area defined by LOT B. <br />At the request of J&T Consulting, ERC provides this letter to include LOT A as part of the overall <br />study area, which was previous considered an outlot. Although LOT B was the defined study area <br />for the environmental studies, LOT A was incidentally evaluated due to its proximity and <br />connectivity to LOT B. Refer to the attached Recorded Exemption Plat for specific boundary <br />layout. <br />LOT A is an approximately 11.86-acre parcel situated in the center of LOT B along the western <br />property line of LOT B. LOT A is a relatively flat, active pasture land towards the eastern half. A <br />small residential house, several barns and farm structures exist along the western half. Along <br />western property line of LOT A, topography becomes much steeper. <br />ERC conducted a field visit of LOT A on November 6, 2008. Weather was cold and windy, <br />vegetation was entering dormancy, soils where thawed and the ground surface was visible. ERC <br />traversed LOT A, to determine any conditions that may indicate the presences of wetlands, <br />threatened, endangered and species of concern or wildlife concerns as address in the previously <br />completed environmental studies. <br />The following provides an overview of findings for LOT A: <br />133
