In response, CNI-IP has searched its Biological and <br />Conservation Datasystem (BCD) for natural heritage resources (occurrences of significant <br />natwal communities and raze, threatened or endangered plants and animals} documented from <br />the immediate area of T3N R64W Sectioru 25/36. <br />We currently have no records in ow datasystem for your study azea. Should there be relict stands <br />of shortgrass prairie, often characterized by blue gra;na (Bouteloua gracilis) and buffalo grass <br />(Buchloe dactyloides), found in yow study area) ou may also find ferruginous hawks (Buteu <br />regalis), black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys iuduvicianus), and burrowing owls (Athena <br />curricularia). These once wide ranging species ~ ate declined due to development and <br />agricultural conversion aad are ceruidered "wa!cnlis;ed" in Colorado by CNHP (i.e. t^-acked but <br />not mapped). <br />While the information contained herein represents a thorough search of CNHP's Biological and <br />Conservation Datasystem, any absence of data does not necessarily mean that other natural <br />heritage resources do not occw on or adjacent to the project site, but rather that ow files do not <br />currently contain information to document their presence. Also, although every attempt is made <br />tp nro:~ide the mast current and precise information possible, please be awaze that some of our <br />sources provide a higher level of accuracy than others, and Some interpretation may be required. <br />CNHP's datasystem is constantly updated and revised. Please contact CNHP for an update on <br />this nattual heritage information if a significant amount of time passes before it is used. <br />Sincerely, <br />/~ / - <br />Kevin Essington <br />Environmental Review Coordinator <br />.~ <br />Na~re <br />~onseruancys <br />99c <br />
