residence are located approximately one-quarter mile north of the site.
There is an existing single family home and outbuildings on the site. The

Dear Mr. Crockett:
Based on the authority conferred to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) by the
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), the Service
reviewed the Preble's meadow jumping mouse, Zapus hudsonius preblei (Preble's), habitat
assessment and request for site disqualification submitted with your report of August 22, 2003.
This report regards the proposed site plan review for the Heit Sand and Gravel Mine Site
northwest effort Lupton in Weld County, Colorado.
Based on the information provided, and given your compliance with the Preble's survey
guidelines, the Service finds the report acceptable and agrees that a population of Preble's is not
likely to be present within the subject area. Thus, this site is disqualified for Preble's consideration
under provisions of the ESA. Should Preble's populations exist downstream from the site, actions
on the site that result in significant modifications of Preble's habitat downstream(for example,
through alteration of existing Clow regimes, or sedimentation) may be subject to provisions of the
ESA.
Additionally, the Service agrees that the proposed project should not have direct adverse affects to
populations of the following federally-listed threatened, endangered or special concern species:
bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), Ute ladies'-tresses (Spiranthes dzluvialis), Colorado
butterfly plant(Guam neonie_ icana coloradensis), great blue heron (Ardea herodias), burrowing
owl (Speotyto cunicularia) and other raptors (red-tailed hawk, Swainson's hawk, Cooper's hawk,
sharp-shinned hawk, American kestrel, great horned owl,long-eared owl, eastern screech owl). If
a communal winter roost or nest site for bald eagles, or other raptors, is found on site or within the
CDOW established buffer zone distances, please notify the Service and follow recommendations
for avoidance as provided in the assessment report.
As the Meadow Island Ditch No. 1 is connected to the South Platte River, if the proposed project
involves a federal action and elements associated with existing or new depletions to the Platte
River system, formal section 7 consultation may be required for effects to listed species and critical
habitat in the central Platte River in Nebraska. In general, depletions include evaporative losses
and/or consumptive use less return flows. Project elements that could be associated with
depletions to the Platte River system include, but are not limited to, ponds
(detention/recreation/irrigation storage), lakes (recreation/irrigation storage/municipal
storage/power generation), reservoirs (recreation/irrigation storage/municipal storage/power
generation), pipelines, and water treatment facilities.
If a formal section 7 consultation is required, the Service will make every effort to accommodate
the applicant's schedules to prevent project delays. If your office or the applicant would like to
discuss the proposed project in relation to Platte River system depletive issues in Colorado, please
contact Sandy Vana-Miller of my staff at (303) 275-2370.

Please submit a completed Survey Field Data Compilation Form for the abovementioned project,
as a Data Compilation Form is required when submitting trapping or site assessment reports,
including requests for site disqualifications.
This determination is valid for one year from date of this letter unless new information warrants
revision of the determination within that time. If the proposed project has not begun within one
year, please contact the Service to request a project extension.
If the Service can be of further assistance, please contact Barbara Spagnuolo of my staff at (303)
275-2370.
