Your request was dated June 12, 2018, and was received by us via electronic mail (email) on the same day. At issue are effects that may result from a proposed scour retrofit and culvert extension project at the Little Colorado River (LCR) bridge on State Route (SR) 260 (hereafter the LCR bridge) within the town of Eagar, Apache County, Arizona. The proposed action may affect the threatened Little Colorado spinedace (Lepidomeda vittata) (spinedace). Below we provide a biological opinion (BO) on effects of the proposed action on the spinedace. In your letter, you requested our concurrence that the proposed action is not likely to adversely affect the endangered southwestern willow flycatcher (Empidonax traillii extimus) (flycatcher) and endangered New Mexico meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius luteus) (jumping mouse). We concur with your determinations for the flycatcher and jumping mouse and provide our rationales in Appendix A. -

CX Appendix C Burro Movem
1 B. RESEARCH OBJECTIVES 2 Name and Address of Applicant or Applicant Organization: 3 Arizona Game and Fish Department 4 5000 W. Carefree Highway 5 Phoenix, AZ 85086 6 Evaluation of Burro Movements and Collisions along Roads Near Lake Pleasant 7 Herd Management Area 8 With burro populations above acceptable Herd Management Area (HMA) levels, burro- 9 vehicle collisions (BVC) have become an increasing problem for the travelling public on 10 roads in proximity to Lake Pleasant (LP) HMA. BVC in and around the LPHMA have 11 increased dramatically and exceeded 35 between October 1, 2015 and December 7, 12 2015, and will continue to pose a hazard to motorists. The Bureau of Land Management 13 (BLM) and its partners are seeking solutions to return the population to acceptable HMA 14 levels. Current BLM burro removal efforts cannot keep pace with the herd’s population 15 growth. Until long-term burro reduction strategies are implemented, there is an ever 16 increasing risk to the safety of both motorists and burros. The Arizona Department of 17 Transportation (ADOT) shoulders a bulk of the liability associated with BVCs. To help 18 mitigate risks to motorists and burros, an evaluation of burro movements and collision 19 locations is warranted. We propose to gather information on burro movements along 20 roads within and adjacent to LPHMA through the collection of 1) GPS movement data, 21 2) BVC hotspots and associated variables, and 3) burro roadway access point camera 22 data collection. Our analysis of this Information will 1) provide recommendations for 23 strategic reduction in BVCs while considering implications to wildlife connectivity and 2) 24 identify additional areas for burro removal efforts. -
