Pavlik <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />1313 Sherman St. Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Dear Ms. Pavlik: <br />RE,--... ; - .. <br />(\hA~ p 41994 <br />iiiiiiiuiiiiiuiii <br />sss <br />N hh e~ <br />Conservanry <br />t_ <br />The Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) is in receipt of your recent request for <br />information regarding File No. C-31-018, Western Fuels -Utah coal mining permit <br />renewal application. to response, CNHP has searched it's Biological and Consetvation <br />Datasysrem for natural heritage resources (occurrences of significant natural <br />communities and rare, threatened or endangered plants and animals) documented from <br />the legal description of the project area included in your request. <br />According to the information currently in our files, there are no occurrences of <br />significant natural communities or rare, threatened or endangered species documented <br />from the project area. However, the White River is known habitat for several Colorado <br />rivers rare, threatened, or endangered fishes. These species are particularly sensitive to <br />shifts in water quality, hydrologic regime, or significant disturbance of riparian <br />wetlands. In addition, the area supports seasonal use by bald eagles, and seasonal <br />resn'ictions may be warranted. Please contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and <br />the Colorado Division of Wildlife for legal restrictions and detailed instructions. <br />While the information contained herein represents a thorough search of the CNHP's <br />Biological and Conservation Datasystem, any absence of data does not necessarily mean <br />that other natw'al heritage resources do not occur on or adjacent to the project sire, but <br />rather that our files do not currently contain information to document their presence. <br />CNHP's datasystem is constantly growing and revised. Please contact CNFIP for an <br />update on this natural heritage information if a significant amount of time passes before <br />it is utilized. <br />Sincerely, <br />GL(~~n,~-C~ <br />atherine~ ~.
