  • Appendix I - Watershed Tables
    Appendix I - Watershed Tables An inventory of major disturbances, Watershed Disturbance Inventory, was completed for this plan revision. Disturbances have been identified and recorded by watershed. Road miles, timber harvest areas, and geologic hazards have been totaled using a Geographical Information System (GIS) to overlay watershed boundaries with these other layers. All disturbances identified have been totaled and for a total for each watershed calculated. The Forest Service recognizes that all disturbances have not been identified for this FEIS. For example, there are nonsystem travelways on the Forest that are not recorded in GIS. Because the plan revision is a large-scale, programmatic analysis, more detailed watershed analyses will be completed at the project level. These site-specific analyses will consider disturbances not covered during the forest plan revision. This appendix contains six tables and one map. They are: Figure l-1: Watersheds of Concern. This map identifies the locations of the watersheds of concern. Table I-1: Reference Stream Reaches. This lists the undisturbed reference stream reaches. This table is used to compare streams in areas of activity with a similar stream in an area with no activity to help determine if impacts are occurring (see water section in Chapter 3 for more detail). Table I-2: Watershed Health Assessment. This is the summary of disturbances and geologic hazard ratings for each watershed on the Forest. This table summarizes disturbances and categorizes watersheds into low, medium, or high "disturbance risk potential" categories. Table I-3: List of Watersheds of Concerns. This table lists watersheds and subwatersheds which have a high disturbance risk potential rating as identified in Table I-2.

  • Survey for Bats in Jackson County, Colorado
    Survey for Bats in Jackson County, Colorado Colorado Natural Heritage Program Warner College of Natural Resources Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Col~ University /(now/edge to Go Places Colorado Natural Heritage Program October 2006 Warner College of Natural Resources Colorado State University Survey for Bats in Jackson County, Colorado Robert A. 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.

Pecora, Director Free on application to the U.S. Geological Survey, Washington, D.C. 20242 Index of Surface-Water Records to September 30, 1967 Part 9 .-Colorado River Basin By H. P. Eisenhuth INTRODUCTION This report lists the streamflow and reservoir stations in the Colorado River basin for which records have been or are to bepublishedinreportsoftheGeological Survey for periods through September 30, 1967. It supersedes Geobgical Survey Circular 509. Basic data on surface-water supply have been published in an annual series of water-supply papers consisting of several volumes, including one each for the States of Alaska and Hawaii. The area of the other 48 States is divided into 14 parts whose boundaries coincide with certain natural drainage lines. Prior to 1951, the records for the 48 States were published in 14 volumes, one for each of the parts. From 1951 to 1960, the records for the 48 States were pub~.ished annually in 18 volumes, there being 2 volumes each for Parts 1, 2, 3, and 6. The boundaries of the various parts are shown on the map in figure 1. Beginning in 1961, the annual series ofwater-supplypapers on surface-water supply was changed to a 5-year S<~ries. Records for the period 1961-65 will bepublishedin a series of water-supply papers using the same 14-part division for the 48 States, but most parts will be further subdivided into two or more volumes.

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.

  • Appendix D - Biological Diversity Report
    Appendix D - Biological Diversity Report This report has been prepared as support for the revision of the 1983 Routt National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (1983 Plan). Because a forest plan is a programmatic document, this report is not intended to be a full discussion or description of the biological diversity found on the Forest. It is intended to provide background and informational context for the programmatic decisions made and corresponding environmental consequences discussed in the Revised Plan and associated Environmental Impact Statement. Biological diversity refers to "the full variety of life in an area, including the ecosystem, plant and animal communities, species and genes, and the processes through which individual organisms interact with one another and with the environment" (USDA Forest Service 1992a). Conservation of biological diversity has become a concern of many. The Forest Service is charged with providing for the diversity of plant and animal species (36 CFR 219.26). The Forest has adopted a three-part approach to the analysis of biological diversity in support of revising the 1983 Plan. The coarse filter, fine filter, and range of natural variability are each described in individual sections of this document. The first of these, the coarse filter, focuses on the function, composition, and structure of ecosystems. Providing for these parts of the ecosystem as a whole should be adequate to provide for the needs of most species. Thus, the coarse filter is where most species needs are addressed. However, a few species may require special attention due to unique habitat requirements or rarity of species numbers in an area.

  • 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. Table 4.6.1 Key Future Water Management Issues in the North Platte Basin Agriculture Environment and Recreation Municipal and Industrial Compacts and Administration • Gaining knowledge of the • Maintaining healthy rivers • Increasing economic • Maintaining compliance with basin’s consumptive uses and through the strategic development and the equitable apportionment high-altitude crop implementation of projects diversification through decrees on the North Platte* coefficients. that meet prioritized strategic water use and and Laramie** rivers that nonconsumptive needs.
