Schorr Zoologist Cover photographs: 1. Mist nets over pond near North Platte River, Jackson County, Colorado 2. Long-eared myotis (Myotis evotis) in hand INTRODUCTION Bats, as a group, are of conservation concern in much of the United States. Because bats have low reproductive rates, undergo major physiological stress (from hibernation and/or migration), are susceptible to human disturbance at roost sites, and may be disproportionately impacted by some energy development, they are receiving ever-increasing levels of conservation attention (Racey and Entwistle 2003). One of the primary facets of most conservation strategies is the need to obtain better distributional information (Racey and Entwistle 2003, Fenton 2003). Bats pose a particularly difficult information gap because of the lack of survey effort and the inherent difficulty of surveying for nocturnal, volant species. Of the approximately 126 species of mammals found in Colorado, bats, with approximately 20 species, are second only to the rodents in diversity. Despite being a large component of the mammalian fauna, the distribution, abundance, and ecology of most bats species is poorly understood. Much of the absence of biological information is driven by the paucity of survey effort dedicated to bats. In turn, the lack of distributional information has raised concern that many bat species in Colorado are of conservation concern.

The refuge was created to offset, in part, losses of breeding and nesting habitat in the prairie wetland region of the Midwest. Most of the land was purchased with funds derived from the sale of Duck Stamps. Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) is located in an intermountain glacial basin immediately south of Walden, the county seat of Jackson County, Colorado. The basin is approximately 30 miles wide and 45 miles long. Since it is the most northern of four such "parks" in Colorado, it is known locally as "North Park". The Ute Indians referred to North Park as "Cow Lodge" and "Bull Pen." They were the first visitors to the area and remained only during the summer months to hunt bison, abandoning the valley during the long, snowy and icy winters.

  • Water Administration in the Cache La Poudre River Basin
    Technical Memorandum To: Chandler Peter, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers From: Seth Turner, CDM Kelly DiNatale, DiNatale Water Consultants Matt Bliss, Hydros Consulting Jordan Dimick, CDM Date: August 1, 2011 Subject: Water Administration in the Cache la Poudre River Basin The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the reader with an overview summary of water administration in the Cache la Poudre (Poudre) River Basin in northern Colorado. This document was prepared at the request of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in conjunction with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reviews and preparation of the Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) for the proposed Northern Integrated Supply Project (NISP) and the proposed expansions of the existing Halligan Reservoir and the existing Milton Seaman Reservoir. The Applicant for NISP is the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District (NCWCD or District), acting on behalf of 15 participating municipal and rural domestic water providers that are located within the District's boundaries in Boulder, Larimer, Morgan, and Weld Counties in northern Colorado. The Applicant's Proposed Action is the construction of the 170,000 acre-foot (AF) Glade Reservoir, located in the Hook and Moore Glade area northwest of Fort Collins near Ted's Place, off of the main channel of the Poudre River, and the 45,624 AF Galeton Reservoir, located on the plains northeast of Greeley and east of Ault. Additional infrastructure and exchange operations would be necessary to facilitate delivery of water to the project's participants. The City of Fort Collins and the North Poudre Irrigation Company (NPIC) are jointly pursuing the expansion of Halligan Reservoir, located on the North Fork of the Poudre River (North Fork), above Livermore.

  • The North Platte Basin, Also Known As North Park, Is a High-Altitude Valley Covering About 2,000 Square Miles in North-Central Colorado
    ////// NORTH PLATTE BASIN The North Platte Basin, also known as North Park, is a high-altitude valley covering about 2,000 square miles in north-central Colorado. It includes all of Jackson County and the small portion of Larimer County that contains the Laramie River watershed. Both the North Platte and Laramie Rivers flow north into Wyoming and are subject to use-limitations described in Supreme Court decrees. The basin is also affected by the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program (PRRIP), which was developed to manage endangered species recovery efforts on the Platte River in Central Nebraska. Water use in the basin is dominated by irrigated pastures associated with ranching operations. The basin also has a major wildlife refuge in addition to numerous public lands and recreational opportunities. The basin exports a portion of North Platte water—approximately 4,500 AFY—to the Front Range. NORTH PLATTE ////// NORTH PLATTE BASIN 4.6 NORTH PLATTE BASIN RESULTS 4.6.1 BASIN CHALLENGES The North Platte Basin will face several key issues and challenges pertaining to water management, endangered species, and resource development in the future. These are described in The Colorado Water Plan and summarized below.

Copyright © 2012 Colorado State University Colorado Natural Heritage Program All Rights Reserved EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The North Platte River Basin covers >2,000 square miles in north central Colorado and is known for extensive wetland resources. Of particular importance to Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), the basin’s wetlands serve as significant waterfowl breeding areas and refuge for rare amphibians, fish, and invertebrates. Recognizing the need for better information about wetlands across the state, CPW and Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) began a collaborative effort called Statewide Strategies for Colorado Wetlands to catalogue the location, type, and condition of Colorado’s wetlands through a series of river basin-scale wetland profile and condition assessment projects. This report summarizes finding from the second basinwide wetland condition assessment, conducted in the North Platte River Basin. The initial step in each project is to compile a “wetland profile” based on digital wetland mapping.

  • Topographic Map Analysis of the North Platte River-South Platte River Drainage Divide Area, Western Larimer County, Colorado, USA
    Earth Science Research; Vol. 10, No. 1; 2021 ISSN 1927-0542 E-ISSN 1927-0550 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Topographic Map Analysis of the North Platte River-South Platte River Drainage Divide Area, Western Larimer County, Colorado, USA Eric Clausen Correspondence: Eric Clausen, 100 West Ave D-17, Jenkintown, PA. E-mail: [email protected] Received: February 1, 2021 Accepted: February 23, 2021 Online Published: February 24, 2021 doi:10.5539/esr.v10n1p49 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/esr.v10n1p49 Abstract The United States Supreme Court settled legal disputes concerning four different Larimer County (Colorado) locations where water is moved by gravity across the high elevation North Platte-South Platte River drainage divide, which begins as a triple drainage divide with the Colorado River at Thunder Mountain (on the east-west continental divide and near Colorado River headwaters) and proceeds in roughly a north and northeast direction across deep mountain passes and other low points (divide crossings) first as the Michigan River (in the North Platte watershed)-Cache la Poudre River (in the South Platte watershed) drainage divide and then as the Laramie River (in the North Platte watershed)-Cache la Poudre River drainage divide. The mountain passes and nearby valley and drainage route orientations and other unusual erosional features can be explained if enormous and prolonged volumes of south-oriented water moved along today’s north-oriented North Platte and Laramie River alignments into what must have been a rising mountain region to reach south-oriented Colorado River headwaters. Mountain uplift in time forced a flow reversal in the Laramie River valley while flow continued in a south direction along the North Platte River alignment only to be forced to flow around the Medicine Bow Mountains south end and then to flow northward in the Laramie River valley and later to be captured by headward erosion of the east-oriented Cache la Poudre River-Joe Wright Creek valley (aided by a steeper gradient and less resistant bedrock).
