The literature <br />search included the "Colorado BLM State Director's Sensitive Species List (Animals <br />and Plants)" (BLM 2000), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) threatened and <br />endangered species list for San Miguel County (USFWS 2007), and the Colorado <br />Division of Wildlife's (CDOW) "Threatened and Endangered List" (CDOW 2007). The <br />following summarizes the results of the literature survey: <br />Exhibit 17 -1 Threatened and Endangered Species List <br />Field surveys of wildlife and plants identified in the literature search were conducted <br />in May 2007. All proposed areas of disturbance were surveyed for the presence of <br />federally listed threatened, endangered, or candidate plant species as well as for <br />sensitive species, state sensitive species, and state rare plants as identified above. No <br />federally listed or BLM special status plant species were observed in the mine affected <br />areas. No evidence of any federal or Colorado State threatened, endangered, or <br />candidate wildlife species was observed in the project area. Additionally, no BLM <br />sensitive species were observed. <br />A raptor survey was conducted during the May 2007 and April 2009 wildlife survey, <br />and no occupied raptor nests were located within the survey area. The surveys did <br />not attempt to identify individual bat species or occupied roost locations in any <br />inactive mine workings of the Topaz Mine because of safety issues related to the <br />inactive mine workings. Although mine workings that have remained inactive for a <br />long period of time may become habitat for bats, no evidence of bats (i.e., guano) has <br />been found nor have any bats been encountered to date since mine rehabilitation <br />began in areas of the underground mine workings in 2007. <br />As an operational measure, the Operator would provide information regarding the <br />locations of any proposed and future disturbances (such as from exploration drilling <br />when locations are determined) to the BLM for additional surveys and identification <br />of possible threatened, endangered, sensitive, or rare plants. The Operator's policy on <br />bats is addressed in an April 9, 2007, letter to BLM. <br />C \Users\cwoodward1Desktop \Sundays \FINAL - Environmental Protection Plan Sunday Mines Revised January 2012 docx <br />17 -1 <br />
