2020-058 Methodist Mountain Comm Site Power Upgrades
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW FOR CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION DETERMINATION Rocky Mountain Region, Western Area Power Administration Methodist Mountain Communication Site Power Upgrades Saguache County, Colorado Project Number: 2020-058 Expiration Date: December 31, 2020 A. Brief Description of Proposal: Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), Rocky Mountain Region (RMR), proposes to complete power upgrades at the Methodist Mountain (MMT) Communication Site. Following the Decker Fire, it was determined that the existing emergency generator for this site needs to be replaced. To facilitate this replacement, a landing will be constructed on the southwest side of the MMT Communication Site. This landing will be constructed using local borrow material from the area immediately surrounding WAPA’s communications building and propane tank. After the landing is constructed, the existing generator will be removed from the communications building and a new generator will be installed. Following completion of the generator replacement, the area will be restored as closely as possible to the original contours. The project area is rocky and largely unvegetated, so no reseeding or additional stabilization will be required. Equipment used for this project will include an excavator, skid-steer, and work trucks. Work will occur within WAPA’s right-of-way on public lands managed by the Rio Grande National Forest in Saguache County, Colorado. The existing access route to the site will be used and no new access routes will be constructed. B. Special Stipulations Pertaining to the Proposal: 1) If the scope of work of this project changes, RMR’s Environment Department must be contacted to determine whether additional environmental review is required. -

We are requesting approval for 60 grants for a total award amount of $4,273,860. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Division’s (CPW) Trails Program, a statewide program within CPW, administers grants for trail-related projects on an annual basis. Local, county, and state governments, federal agencies, special recreation districts, and non-profit organizations with management responsibilities over public lands may apply for and are eligible to receive non- motorized and motorized trail grants. Colorado’s Off-highway Vehicle Trail Program CPW’s OHV Program is statutorily created in sections 33-14.5-101 through 33-14.5-113, Colorado Revised Statutes. The program is funded through the sale of OHV registrations and use permits. It is estimated that almost 200,000 OHVs were registered or permitted for use in Colorado during the 2019-2020 season. The price of an annual OHV registration or use- permit is $25.25. Funds are used to support the statewide OHV Program, the OHV Registration Program and OHV Trail Grant Program, including OHV law enforcement. The OHV Program seeks to improve and enhance motorized recreation opportunities in Colorado while promoting safe, responsible use of OHVs. -

Wild Connections Conservation Plan for the Pike & San Isabel National Forests Chapter 5 – Complexes: Area-Specific Management Recommendations This section contains our detailed, area-specific proposal utilizing the theme based approach to land management. As an organizational tool, this proposal divides the Pike-San Isabel National Forest into eleven separate Complexes, based on geo-physical characteristics of the land such as mountain ranges, parklands, or canyon systems. Each complex narrative provides details and justifications for our management recommendations for specific areas. In order to emphasize the larger landscape and connectivity of these lands with the ecoregion, commentary on relationships to adjacent non-Forest lands are also included. Evaluations of ecological value across public and private lands are used throughout this chapter. The Colorado Natural Heritage Programs rates the biodiversity of Potential Conservation Areas (PCAs) as General Biodiversity, Moderate, High, Very High, and Outranking Significance. The Nature Conservancy assesses the conservation value of its Conservation Blueprint areas as Low, Moderately Low, Moderate, Moderately High and High. The Southern Rockies Ecosystem Project's Wildlands Network Vision recommends land use designations of Core Wilderness, Core Agency, Low and Moderate Compatible Use, and Wildlife Linkages. Detailed explanations are available from the respective organizations. Complexes – Summary List by Watershed Table 5.1: Summary of WCCP Complexes Watershed Complex Ranger District
