CPW staff has visited the site and determined that the proposed development is not likely to have a significant adverse impact on wildlife species. However, CPW offers the following comments for your consideration in the implementation of the development. The mission of CPW is to perpetuate the wildlife resources of the state, to provide a quality state park system, and to provide enjoyable and sustainable outdoor recreation opportunities that educate and inspire current and future generations to serve as active stewards of Colorado’s natural resources. Our goal in responding to land use proposals such as this is to provide complete, consistent, and timely information to all entities who request comments on matters within out statutory authority. The vegetation is comprised of mixed conifers, aspens, and short grass prairie species. This habitat type will sustain numerous wildlife species including elk, deer, bear, mountain lion, moose, coyote, fox, raptors, songbirds and numerous small mammals. CPW recommends the development and implementation of a noxious weed control plan for the site. It is recommended that all disturbed soils in the area be monitored for noxious weeds. Noxious weeds should be actively controlled until native plant revegetation and reclamation is achieved. Once development is concluded it is recommended that all Bob D. Broscheid, Director, Colorado Parks and Wildlife • Parks and Wildlife Commission: Robert W. Bray Jeanne Horne John Howard, Vice-Chair • Dale Pizel James Pribyl, Chair James Vigil Dean Wingfield Michelle Zimmerman, Secretary Alex Zipp disturbed areas be revegetated with native vegetation that matches the native vegetation already present in the surrounding area. If fill material will be used in the project, CPW recommends using a native fill material that would be conducive to growing native vegetation. Non-native vegetation can out-compete native vegetation and can become problematic. The following is a list of general recommendations CPW would like to be taken into consideration with this development in order to avoid nuisance conflicts with wildlife. 1. Pets should not be allowed to roam free and fences should be installed to decrease or eliminate this problem. Dogs and cats chase or prey on various wildlife species. One benefit to keeping animals under control is that they are less likely to bother other people, be in roadways or become prey for mountain lions, bears, coyotes, foxes or owls. 2. Trash should be kept indoors until the morning of trash pickup. CPW recommends using bear resistant trash containers. Bears, skunks and raccoons are attracted to garbage and do become habituated. It is illegal to leave trash unsecured except for the day of trash pickup. 3. Feeding of all wildlife should be prohibited, with the exception of songbirds. The use of bird feeders, suet feeders, and hummingbird feeders are discouraged. The use of flowering plants and bird baths are normally sufficient to attract desirable songbirds to a property without attracting bears. However, if bird feeders are used, they should be placed so they are inaccessible to bears, raccoons or skunks and other wildlife species that might cause damage or threaten human safety. It is illegal to feed big game animals including deer, elk, antelope, moose, bear, bighorn sheep and lion. 4. Pets should be fed inside or if pets are fed outside, feeding should occur only for a short period of time and food bowls returned afterwards to a secure site for storage. Pet food left outside attracts various wildlife species which in turn attracts predators. 5. When landscaping lots, it is strongly recommended that native vegetation be used that wildlife is less likely to be attracted to. Planting of trees and shrubs that are attractive to native ungulates should incorporate the use of materials that will prevent access and damage (fencing, tree guards, trunk guards, etc.). 6. Fences, other than those around the immediate domicile and serving to protect landscaped trees and shrubs, should be designed so as not to impair wildlife movements. Ornamental fences with sharp vertical points or projections extending beyond the top rail should be strongly discouraged. Wildlife friendly design recommendations can be provided upon request. 7. It is strongly encouraged that dog kennels have a top enclosure, regardless of the height of the kennel. This helps prevent bears, lions and coyotes from getting into the enclosure and causing injury or death to any pets. 8. Barbecue grills can attract bears and other wildlife if not cleaned and stored properly. CPW recommends barbecue grills be placed in a secure area when not in use and cleaned out with an ammonia/water solution. 9. Loud noises and light can affect wildlife especially during the night. CPW recommends that residents and guests make efforts to minimize noise and light levels during these hours. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the special use permit.

A review of the ITE parking generation tables results in no use within the ITE sources that remotely resembles this use. That is not unusual, as most of the data for both the parking and trip generation studies within ITE come from urban and suburban studies. Therefore, I will base my recommendation on parking needed on my experience with similar social and recreational uses within the national forest in other locations. With a total of forty camp sites, it is reasonable to assume that each one will require a parking space, for a total of 40 spaces for camping. There will be a maximum of twenty staff persons, and with the remote location, I would expect them to arrive at least two per vehicle, so they will need 10 spaces. Remote sites like this one just by their nature lend themselves to carpooling for most social events, such as weddings or similar uses.

  • Pikes Peak Massif
    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

Embracing large, diverse, and complex geologic features, the park is in an area that is critical to the interpretation of many significant regional geologic problems. In order to provide basic data bearing on these problems, the U.S. Geological Survey in 1965 initiated a broad pro­ gram of comprehensive geologic and geophysical investigations within the park. This program was carried out with the cooperation of the National Park Service, and was also aided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which supported the gathering of geologic information needed in testing and in interpreting results from various remote sensing devices. This professional paper chapter is one of a series of technical geo­ logic reports resulting from these investigations.

Rumors of marine reptiles, trilobite mass death assemblages, and even dinosaurs in Yellowstone have lured a team of paleontologists in the same way that the legends of "Colter's Hell" and Jim Bridger's "Tall Tales" have attracted many before. Compared to other natural resources at Yellowstone National Park, fossils have received little attention. Except for the research conducted on the petrified forests, Yellowstone's fossils have remained a relative "paleo-incognita" more than 125 years after the park's establishment. As this survey demonstrates, the lack of paleontological research is not due to a lack of significant fossils. Perhaps historian Aubrey Haines provided the best explanation in his comment, "Past administrations preferred that resources not in the public's eye be left alone" (pers.
