Biological Assessment
Gunnison Basin Federal Lands Travel Management Plan - Biological Assessment BIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT for GUNNISON BASIN FEDERAL LANDS TRAVEL MANAGEMENT PLAN Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests Gunnison Ranger District Prepared by Clay Speas (Wildlife, Fish and Rare Plants Program Lead) Michael Jackson (Gunnison RD Terrestrial Biologist – retired) INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this biological assessment is to determine the likely effects of the preferred alternative of the proposed Gunnison Basin Federal Lands Travel Management (GTM) project on federally listed species (endangered, threatened, and proposed) in the planning area. The federal lands addressed are National Forest System lands on the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison National Forests (GMUG) that include the Gunnison and Paonia Ranger Districts and public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Gunnison Field Office. Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, requires federal agencies to use their authorities to carry out programs to conserve endangered and threatened species, and to insure that actions authorized, funded, or carried out by them are not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of listed or proposed species, or result in the destruction or adverse modification of their critical habitats. A Biological Assessment must be prepared for federal actions that are ―major construction activities‖ (also defined as a project significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined under NEPA) to evaluate the potential effects of the proposal on listed or proposed species. The contents of the BA are at the discretion of the federal agency, and will depend on the nature of the federal action (50 CFR 402.12(f)). -

Papilio (New Series) #12, Some O
(NEW Dec. 3, PAPILIO SERIES) 2008 GEOGRAPHIC VARIATION AND NEW TAXA OF WESTERN NORTH AMERICAN BUTTERFLIES, ESPECIALLY FROM COLORADO By James A. Scott & Michaels. Fisher, with some parts by David M. Wright, Stephen M. Spomer, Norbert G. Kondla, Todd Stout, Matthew C. Garhart, & Gary M. Marrone Introduction and Abstract Michael Fisher is currently updating the 1957 book Colorado Butterflies, by F. Martin Brown, J. Donald Eff, and Bernard Rotger (Fisher 2005a, 2005b, 2006). This project has emphasized the necessity of naming certain butterflies in Colorado and vicinity that are distinctive, but currently have no name, as part of our goal of applying correct species/ subspecies names to all Colorado butterflies. Eleven of those distinctive butterflies are named here, in the genera Anthocharis, Neominois, Asterocampa, Argynnis (Speyeria), Euphydryas, Lycaena, and Hesperia. New life histories are reported for species or subspecies of Neominois & Oeneis & Euphydryas & Lycaena that were recently described or recently elevated in status. Lycaena jlorUs differs in hostplant, egg morphology, and somewhat in a seta on 151 -stage larvae. We also report the results ofresearch elsewhere in North America that was needed to determine which of the current subspecies names should be applied to other butterflies in Colorado, in the genera Anthocharis, Neominois, Apodemia, Callophrys, At/ides, Euphilotes, PlebeJus, Polites, & Hylephila. This research has added additional species to the total of Colorado butterflies. Nomenclatural problems in Colorado Lycaena & Calloph1ys are settled with lectotypes and designations of type localities and two pending petitions to suppress toxotaxa. Difficulties with the ICZN Code in properly applying names to clines are explored, and new terminology is given to some necessary biological solutions. -

This letter is sent on behalf of the following conservation groups and conservationists, all of whom have a longstanding interest in the protection and wise stewardship of roadless national forest lands and our climate. High Country Conservation Advocates (HCCA) was founded in 1977 as High Country Citizens’ Alliance, to keep Mount Emmons molybdenum mine-free. HCCA’s work now addresses other issues that affect Gunnison County’s clean air, clean water, public lands, and healthy wildlife. HCCA has over 600 members who live, recreate, and enjoy the rural and wild character of Gunnison County and its public lands. The Sierra Club is America’s largest grassroots environmental organization, with more than 2.4 million members and supporters nationwide. In addition to creating opportunities for people of all ages, levels and locations to have meaningful outdoor experiences, the Sierra Club works to safeguard the health of our communities, protect wildlife, and preserve our remaining wild places through grassroots activism, public education, lobbying, and litigation. -
