Kuntz <br />Program Duector <br />MINED LgND <br />RECLgMA7lOA <br />- DIVISION <br />I've searched the Colorado Natural Areas Inventory (CNAI) for <br />occurrences of rare, threatened or exemplary plants, animal and plant <br />communities in the proposed coal mining area near Hesperus (LaPlata coal <br />Corp., F11e No. C-87-072). The area is described as: <br />T35N R11W E1/2, NE1/4 Sec. 29 and <br />W1/2, NW1/4 sec. 28, N.M.P.M. <br />We have no data for the project area, and I know of no rare species <br />to be found in the area. However, a lack of data may be due to an absence <br />of biological inventories rather than a lack of rare biota. CNAI data <br />should not be substituted for field work. <br />Please contact me if you have any questions. <br />Cordially, <br />~"~-~-~ <br />Steve L.
