Black 95tate. co, us] <br />To: Angela Bellantoni <br />Cc <br />Subject: RE: Sec 35, T22S, R50W <br />I _. <br />1 Ms. Bellantoni, <br />Thank you for the gentle reminder. I apologize for the delay. <br />Sent: Fri S!22.20121:27PM <br />To the best of my knowledge, there are no T &E species located on or near the site. However, the area is known to be <br />occupied or utilized by Swift Fox, a Colorado listed species of concern that favors short grass prairie. Please insure that no <br />burrow sites are noted prior to digging, as Swift fox may have pups at this time of year. <br />Thanks again, and please let me know if i can be of further assistance. <br />Travis Black <br />Area ftildlife Manager <br />Colorado Parks and 117ldlife <br />2500 S. Main <br />Lamar, CO 51052 <br />('19)336-6603 <br />t {- <br />The Colorado Natural Heritage Program at Colorado State University was <br />contacted to perform a database search for rare and threatened species. The Texas <br />Horned Lizard was the only rare and /or imperiled species found within a two -mile <br />radius of the proposed site. The lizard was sighted in December 1997 and is rated as <br />secure rather than threatened species. <br />The cottonwood stands along the Arkansas Rive and John Martin Reservoir <br />are known habitats for the bald eagle and various plover species. The proposed site <br />does not include a cottonwood stand and is not adjacent to either water body or <br />associated tributaries. <br />9 <br />
