The area inventoried included all properly east of State Road 109 and west of The Roaring Fork River, with north and south boundaries observed. The property was divided inio six sections, and each of these sections was further divided into smaller sections based on fence lines, i*gation ditches and tree and shrub massings. A rating system was usgd to evaluate the overall .*aitirn of the trees based on the health of the trunk, roots and branches (See atached forms). Each tree was evaluated by height, caliper size and specific location. -Trees with a calipei smaller than 2', were not counted. Caliper is measured as diameter in inches of the trunlq at breast height. Multi-trunked tree massings in groups or groves were recorded individually while the height, caliper and condition reflects a range or average. The rating procedure used is a modification of a system used by professional lborists and tree appraiserl Conditions of the roots, trunk and branches were given a rating of 0-10, 0 being ai"a una l0 being a tree of specimen qualrty in superb health. Trees with an average rating of less than 5 should not be retained within proposed development areas tmless they are to be retained in greenbelts and corlmon op"r, tp""" along the riparian corridor. Although many of these overgrown and dead trees provide excellent wildlife habitat" there is some question as to the safety of such trees in a residentially developed area Due to the dense structure and deep root systems of the majority of the tees, transplanting of trees with a 4" caliper or larger is not advised due to poor survival rate and the high cost of moving zuch trees. The information in this packet is intended to be used with a larger plan overlay (see plan ins€rtl wfri"tr delineates individual groupings and sections of the inventory. The inventory can be used as a tool throughout the planning and design process for the project. General Site Observations The trees at the site are primarily native species common to mountain riparian ecosystems. Deciduous trees and moistue loving shrubs dominate this ecosystem. Wetland meadows intersperse with these groves and thickets located along the bench of the 100-year flood plain of the noaring Fork Rivei. Above the floodplain, a quick tansition occurs from dry shrublands of Rabbitbrush, Big Westem Sage and Wild Rose, to Pinon Pine-Juiper Woodlands. These species dominate the steep, rocky slopes of the Maroon Formation, a geologic outcrop of claracteristic red stone, wlich flanks the drainage corridors of the river. Trees along the river range in size from small saplings, to mature varieties approaching 100 feet in height *itt SO'-20" caliper. Many of the older trees are dead or severely declining. This has frt caused an extensive system of litter composed of fallen tree trunks, broken branches and creeping vines and shrubs. Several exotic tree species exist on the site, primarily in the general vicinity of the ranchhome. Hundreds of Russian Olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia)have become invasive along the riparian corridor due to rapid spreadirrg "rf,-."d by birds and the high watertable' The areas of mature trees and dense shrub cover provide high qualrty habitat for wildlife' several Great Blue Heron nests were observed, located in the trigh uranctres of dead cottonwood trees located near the south end of the project. Numerous other birds, reptiles and small mammals were also observed in the riparian area' The dominant tree species in the wetland areas of the site are Narrow'Leaf Cottonwood(Poptitts angustifolia) and Gambel Oak (Quercus gombelii). Mattre stands of Western River Birch (nZriiit *tinal*) and Chokechirry (Pinus virginiana), as well as Hawttrom (Crotaegts spp') and Rocky Mountain Juniper (Juniperus scopulirum) create a dense understory. fh9 neAp 9f- these trees ranges from excellent to .rt ...iy poor or dead. The natural character of much of the site has allowed infestation by bark beetles, scate ana borers. Many of the older Cottonrn'oods - have split trunks and open bark wounds have allowed extensive decay columns to develop' Bark rust was observed on nearly all River Birch and Gambel Oak and aphids were corlmon on the leaves of nearly all shrub varieties. Many different shrubs exist, some of which were considered to be small trees due to their 2" or gr*i", caliper. These species include Three Leaf Sumac (Rhus trilobato), Serviceberry (Amelanchier spp.),Mountain Snowberry (gymphoricarpos occidentalrs) and Wild Rose (Rosa arlwnsana). Above the floodplain, the semidesert shnrblands contain only a few Pinon Pine (Pinrs eduli$ and Rocky Mountain Juniper (Juniperus scopulorum). These trees are young and in good health but are sparse in the dry, openareas of the property. A few Cottonwoods and other smaller species have naturalized along the extensivi inigation system which has been developed on the site. A large percentage of the 1,660 trees on th- property are located within the boundaries of the 100-year floodPlain. The following tables of information represent a sunmary ofthe tree inventory findings. Field notes are located behind the summary for more detailed infomration reference.

Rifle, GO 81625 September 26, 1997 I (' The applicant of the Rose Ranch Planned Unit Development was requested by GarfieldcountytocorrectdeficienciesinthewildlifeportionofthePUDsubmission package by retaining a wildlife specialist to develop a wildlife species list for the Rose Ranch and to determine the amount of open space required to protect migratory routes. Beattie Natural Resources Consulting prepared a wildlife report which meets and exceeds the County's request. There are 443 species of birds, 129 species of mammals, and 64 species of reptiles and amphibians which are permanent residents orvisit at some time during the year in Golorado. A total of 321 species of wildlife are recorded for the Glenwood Springs latilong block (6 amphibians, S lizards,6 snakes,66 mammals, and 235 species of birds). The Glenwood Springs latilong block is bounded by 390 and 40o latitude and 107o and 1080 longitude. The Rose Ranch lies in the eastem portion of the Glenwood Springs latilong block. The Rose Ranch contains 4 habitat types: riparian transition, irrigated pastures, sagebrush-rabbitbrush, and pinyon-juniper. Restricting occutrence of wildlife to those which might be expected to occur in one or more of the four habitat types in the Garfield County latilong block reduced the number of potential species from 321 to225. Previous ranch owner Jim Rose was shown a photograph of each of the 321 species of wildlife reported to occur in the Glenwood Springs latilong block. Mr. Rose reported that in the past five years he has noted the presence on his ranch of 2 species of amphibians, 2 species of reptiles, 20 species of mammals, and 36 species of birds. Kirk Beattie conducted a field survey of the Rose Ranch on September 9, 1997 and surveyed the Roaring Fork River, the river shoreline, the riparian transition area west of the river, the wetlands in and adjacent to the riparian transition area, the inigated pastures east of County Road 109, the sagebrush-rabbitbrush fields east of County Road 109, the curtilage of the main ranch house, the wetland to the west of the ranch main entry road, and the pinyon-juniper habitat west of County Road 109. Dr. Beattie detected 1 reptile species, no amphibians, 10 species of mammals, and 27 species of birds. The most abundant species of birds observed were Canada geese (n=211), Eu ropean starlings (n= 1 50+), black-billed mag pies (n=24\, red-breasted mergansers (n=18), and mallards (n=12). Colorado and least chipmunks were the most abundant mammals observed. Kirk Beattie interviewed District Wildlife Manager Larry Green in person on September 16, 1997. He presented Mr. Green a list of all wildlife species reported for the Glenwood Springs latilong block (n=321) and asked him to confirm those species he had observed on the Rose Ranch as well as those species his experience led him to believe might occur on the Rose Ranch. Mr. Green reported that 1 species of amphibian, 3 species of snakes, 24 species of mammals, and 84 species of birds occur, have occurred, and/or might occur on the Rose Ranch as residents or migrants. A witdlife species list for the Rose Ranch was developed based on a September 9 field survey by Kirk Beattie, a September 11 in-person interview with Jim Rose, and a { September 16 in-person interview with Larry Green. The list contains a total of 127 species of wildlife and includes 3 species of amphibians, 4 species of reptiles, 29 species and types (e.g. bats) of mammals, and 93 species of birds. Available eridence teads to the conclusion that, with the exception of the bald eagle, there are no federal or state threatened or endangered terrestrial vertebrates occurring on the Rose Ranch at any time during the year. ClrRelO County requested that a determination be made of the extent of open space required to proiect migratory routes of wildlife on the Rose Ranch. Dr. Beattie dlscussed the issue of wildlifL migratory routes on the Rose Ranch with Larry Green. Dr. Beattie and Mr. Green are in agreement that there are no migratory routes for wildlife on the Rose Ranch. The Colorado Division of Wildlife maintains a witdlife mapping database called the Wildlife Resource lnformation System (WRIS). The system is updated yearly an_d is capable of producing maps showing areas used by a wildlife species during a specific time of the year andior for a specific purpose. WRIS is on a computer file in the Garfield County Planning Department. The file contains maps for Garfield County for 22 species and species groups. The enctosed report contains all WRIS maps of all possibte occurrences of mapped wildtife for the Rose Ranch. Dr. Beattie met with District Wildlife Managers Kevin Wright and Larry Green on September 16, 1997 to gather information and to solicit their input on wildlife issues that might be associated with the Rose Ranch PUD. He analyzed and evaluated their coirments and concerns in addition to identifying mechanisms for altering the potential impact of the development on wildlife. There appearto be six witdtife issues associated with the Rose Ranch PUD: 1. lmpact of development on elk and mule deer winter range. 2. lmpact of development on great blue herons' 3. Allowing year-round use of the proposed Fishing Park by residents of the Rose Rlirch PUD and residents of contiguous subdivisions could negatively impact great blue heron nesting- 4. How wif wildlife travel from west of County Road 109 to the Roaring Fork River? S. Human activities occuning on the PUD to the west of County Road 109 could impact golden eagle nesting. 6, Dogs owned by Rose Ranch PUD homeowners may harm wildlife. Dr. Beattie provided the following recommendations in response to the issues: 1. The portion of the Rose Ranch lying west of County Road 109 should be closed to public access from December 1 to March 31 each year, with the exception of access for gotfing and access to and including the planned active recreation area. Limiting use of this area will reduce stress on wintering mule deer and elk. Entry to the proposed Floaters Park should be prohibited from March 1-July 15 each year. This restriction will allow great blue herons to initiate and complete efforts to nest and to hatch and fledge their young. Roaring Fork lnvestments should enter into discussions with the CDOW regarding lease of the 6.3 acre rookery by the CDOW or should develop a conservation easement with appropriate safeguards to allow great blue herons to initiate and complete nesting efforts. Human entry into the proposed fishing park at its currently proposed location should be prohibited from March l-July 15 each year. The project planner should investigate the feasibility of an alternate location for a proposed fishing park. 4. To facilitate movement of wildlife from west of County Road 109 to the Roaring Fork River, vegetative screening should be planted on the tops of the north and south banks of the east-west drainage occuning between lots 63/195 and 641194. Vegetative screening will provide psychologicalsecurity to wildlife traveling from the western edge of the development to the Roaring Fork River. 5. Public use of the southern 200-300 yard portion of the planned pedestrian trail north of the planned overlook to the west of County Road 109 should be prohibited from March 1S-July 15 each yearto reduce potentialdisturbance of a pair of nesting golden eagles. 6. Before a Rose Ranch PUD homeowner is allowed to possess a dog within his/her building envelope, he/she should be required to construct a kennel or a dog-proof fence to provide for containment of the dog when the dog is outside and unsupervised. A proposed Code of Covenants and Restrictions for the Rose Ranch PUD should require that when a dog is outside of a building envelope, it must be leashed. The most important wildtife habitats on the Rose Ranch are the Roaring Fork River, the riparian transition habitat along the river, and the pinyon-juniper hillsides west of County Road 109. All three habitats have been designated as open space by the developer. The development plan has incorporated mechanisms and strategies for reducing conflicts and for facilitating use of the PUD by wildlife following development. The Rose Ranch PUD, after incorporating wildlife planning recommendations, will result in a balance to the dilemma of how to provide housing for humans while retaining the natural character of the landscape and its wildlife inhabitants. 3.

Page 98 99 100 xl ( ROSE RANCHWILDLIFE REPORT PAGE I INTRODUCTION On August26, 1gg7 the applicant of the Rose Ranch Planned Unit Development (pUD), Ronald Heggemeier, was advised by Garfield County Senior PlannerVictoria Giannola and County Attorney Don DeFord to conect deficiencies in the wildlife portion of the pUD submission package for the Rose Ranch. Garfield County requested that: 'The appticant shall submit a wildtife inventory prepared by a wildlife specialist since the proposal noted the presence of wildlife and the reservation of open space corridors to protect the migratory paths on-site. The report would include a determination of the species present and the extent of open space required to protect their migratory routes." I have prepared this report to provide the information requested of the applicant by Garfield County. Fig. 40 provides background information to establish my credibility as a wildlife specialist. WILDLIFE INVENTORY OF THE ROSE RANCH The term'\rtrildlife" traditionally is defined as all nondomesticated tenestrial vertebrates and includes birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. There are 443 species of birds, 129 species of mammals, and 64 species of reptiles and amphibians which are permanent residents or visit at some time during the year in Colorado. Latilong Records As a starting point for developing a wildlife species list for the Rose Ranch, I searched the Colorado Division of Wildtife (CDOW) latilong records. These records are part of the Colorado Mammal Distribution Latilong Study (Meaney 1990), the Colorado ROSE RANCH WILDLIFE REPORT PAGF 2 { Bird Distribution Latilong Study (Kingery 1987), and the Colorado Reptile and Amphibian Distribution Latilong Study (Hammerson and Langlois 1981). The latilong system uses lines of latitude and longitude to divide Colorado into 28 blocks (Fig. 1). The Glenwood Springs latilong block (block 9 in Fig. 1) is bounded by 390 and 400 latitude and 1070 and 1080longitude. The Rose Ranch lies in the eastern portion of the Glenwood Springs latilong block. The Colorado wildlife latilong system uses the best available scientific information to determine the species of witdlife which occur in a latilong block. Tables 2,4, and 6 present the reptiles/amphibians, mammals, and birds, respectively, reported to occur in the Glenwood Springs latilong block (Hammerson and Langlois 1981, Meaney 1990, Kingery 1987). A total of 32l species of wildlife are recorded for the Glenwood Springs latilong block (6 amphibians, 8 lizards, 6 snakes, 66 mammals, and 235 species of birds). The Rose Ranch contains 4 habitat types: riparian transition, irrigated pastures, sagebrush-rabbitbrush, and pinyon-juniper. Because some of the 321 species of wildlife in the Glenwood Springs block occur only at higher elevations and/or in different habitats or habitat associations than those found on the Rose Ranch, the number of species of wildlife residing on or visiting the Rose Ranch will be less than the 321 species reported for the entire block. Latilong Records for Specific Habitat Types I contacted Pam Schnurrwith the CDOW in Grand Junction and requested that she provide a list of wildlife which would be expected to occur in one or more of the four Rose Ranch habitat types within the Glenwood Springs latilong block. Tables 3, 5, and 7 present the reptiles/amphibians, mammals, and birds that utilize sagebrush- ROSF RANCI.I WLDLIFE REPORT PAGE 3 rabbitbrush, pinyon-juniper, riparian transition, and/or agricultural areas as breeding, non-breeding, or migratory habitats. Restricting occurrence to one or rnore of these four habitat types did not reduce the number of potentiat reptiles and amphibians (Tables 2 and 3) but did reduce the potentia! mammal species form 66 to 56 and the number of potential bird species from 235 to 149. Thus, a maximum of 225 species of wildlife could be expected to occur in one or more of the four habitat types in the Glenwood Springs latilong block. Of the 225 species, some will not occur on the Rose Ranch because of its particular elevation, because it does not contain the particular arangement of various habitats which some species prefer, and because geographically-isolated populations within the Glenwood Springs latilong block have not expanded their range to include the Rose Ranch. lnterview With Jim Rose To gain more information about wildlife of the Rose Ranch, I interviewed Jim Rose in person on September 1 1 , 1997. Mr. Rose, the former owner of the ranch, lived onsite for 30 years before moving to another ranch this year. ! asked Mr. Rose about wildlife he had observed on the ranch over the yearsi. To further his recollection and to stimulate his recall, I showed him a photograph of each of the 321 species of wildlife reported to occur in the Glenwood Springs latilong block. Mr. Rose reported that in the past five years he has noted the presence of 2 species of amphibians, 2 species of reptiles, 20 species of mammals, and 36 species of birds (Table 10). As with many laymen, Mr. Rose was unfamiliar with many species of small mammals and songbirds. For this reason, some species of songbirds which are temporary visitors to or nest on t ROSF RANCI{ WlT DLIFE REPORT PAGE 4 the Rose Ranch, and some small mammals which are permanent residents of the Rose Ranch, do not appear in Table 10. Forthe same reason, categories such as "bats", , "fietd mice", and "chipmunks" appear in Table 10 instead of specific species of wildlife. These comments are not intended to reflect negatively on Mr. Rose but indicate his orientation to larger and more visible wildlife. Mr. Rose reported that in the 30 years he lived on the Rose Ranch, there were concentrations of elk on the ranch during three years. These were heavy snow years and the elk wintered at low elevations. Mr. Rose's opinion is that these elk would not have concentrated on his ranch had hay he fed to his cattle during the winter not been available to the elk. ln other years he reported seeing an occasional elk or elk tracks. According to Mr. Rose, about 20 elk reside around Dry Park to the west of the ranch. With respect to mule deer, Mr. Rose reported that use of his ranch by deer has declined since houses were built on Westbank Mesa to the north of his ranch. Some of the comments Mr. Rose made about wildlife on his ranch, or absent from his ranch, are as follows: ) No sage grouse have ever been observed on the ranch. ) Sandhill cranes visit for a week or so in the spring. ) Mr. Rose sighted a mountain lion west of County Road 109 on his ranch on two occasions over a 30 year period. County Road 109. ago- { ROSE RANCHWILDLIFE REPORT PAGE 5 Mr. Rose has sighted golden eagles perched in the tops of dead trees along the Roaring Fork River. Mr. Rose reported that 12 pairs of great blue herons nested in tree stick nests on his ranch this past spring and summer. Mr. Rose reports that the ranch is thicK with coyotes and red foxes. Field Survey I conducted a field survey of the Rose Ranch on September 9, 1997. I surveyed the Roaring Fork River, the river shoreline, the riparian transition area west of the river, the wetlands in and adjacent to the riparian transition area, the inigated pastures east of County Road 109, the sagebrush-rabbitbrush fields east of County Road 109, the curtilage of the main ranch house, the wettand to the west of the ranch main entry road, and the pinyon-iuniper habitat west of County Road 109. Table I lists the wildlife I detected and the habitat types where the observations occuned. ln some cases I noted presence of a species based only on its call (e.g. American goldfinch, Westem wood pewee, black-capped chickadee) or sign it had left (e.g. coyote, mule deer, elk, mink) fi'able 9]. I detected 1 reptile species, no amphibians, 10 species of mammals, and 27 species of birds. The most abundant species of birds observed were Canada geese (n=211), European starlings (n=150+), black-billed magpies (n=24), red-breasted mergansers (n=18), and mallards (n=12). Colorado and least chipmunks were the most abundant mammals observed. lnterview With Larry Green Larry Green is a District Witdlife Managerwith the Colorado Division of Witdlife in Glenwood Springs and has been employed by the CDOW lor26 years. Mr. Green is ROSE RANCH WILDLIFE REPORT PAGF 6 ( very familiar with the wildlife of Garfield County and is particularly familiar with wildlife of the Rose Ranch. Mr. Green pastured his horses on the Rose Ranch for many years , and because of this activity, patrols, and calls for service in this area, he probably has more familiarity with wildlife which use this area than any other person in the Roaring Fork Valley. I interviewed Mr. Green in person on September 16, 1997. I presented Mr. Green a list of allwildlife species reported for the Glenwood Springs latilong block (n=321) and asked him to confirm those species he had observed on the Rose Ranch as well as those species his experience led him to believe might occur on the Rose Ranch. Mr. Green reported that 1 species of amphibian, 3 species of snakes, 24 species of mammals, and 84 species of birds occur, have occuned, and/or might occur on the Rose Ranch as residents or migrants (Table 12). Wildlife Soecies List for the Rose Ranch Table 11 is a witdtife species tist for the Rose Ranch based on a September 9 field survey by Kirk Beattie, a September 11 in-person interview with Jim Rose, and a September 16 in-person interview with Larry Green. The list contains a total of 127 species of wildlife and includes 3 species of amphibians, 4 species of reptiles, 29 species and types (e.9. bats) of mammals, and 93 species of birds. Limitations of Wildlife Species List and Cautionary Note I am confident there are other species of wildtife in addition to those listed in Table 11 that reside on or visit the Rose Ranch. Types of wildlife conspicuously notable absent from Table 11 include various species of "field mice", songbirds, and ( ( DTrEtr PANN}I WlI N! IFF RFPr)RT PAGE_Z bats. Most species of field mice are noctumal and detection requires live-trapping at night. Songbirds are most easily inventoried by listening for calls of territorial males during the breeding and nesting seasons in the spring and summer months. Many songbirds which may have nested on the Rose Ranch earlier this year have migrated south or have moved away from the property to other habitats. Bats, like field mice, are nocturnat and detection requires finding and visiting hibemacula or trapping them with mist nests positioned near roosting sites. Detection of owls frequently involves use of playback recordings to elicit vocalizations. For the purposes of this report it was not considered essentialto conduct intensive trapping for noctumal species, particularly in light of the lack of evidence showing that any federal or state endangered or threatened terrestrial vertebrates reside on or visit the Rose Ranch. The inclusion of a species in the wildlife list for the Rose Ranch (Table 11) does not imply that the species occurs on the ranch as a permanent resident or that it occuls in all habitat types of the ranch. Some species may visit the ranch for a week in the spring (e.g. lesser sandhill crane), other species may be present for several months during the breeding and nesting season (e.g. yellow warbler), some species are permanent residents (e.g. cottontail rabbit, Colorado and least chipmunks, rock squinet), and some species may visit the ranch for a brief period during ayear or during a multi-year period (e.9. mountain lion, bobcat). FEDERAL AND STATE ENDANGERED AND THREATENED WILDLIFE Federal and state threatened and endangered amphibians, birds and mammals in Colorado are listed in Table 1. Federal endangered species listed in Colorado ( ROSE RANGH WILDLIFE REPORT - PAGE 8 include the peregrine falcon, least tern, Southwestern willow flycatcher, and black- footed ferret, Federally threatened wildlife listed for Colorado include the piping plover, bald eagle, and Mexican spotted owl. Species on the Colorado endangered species list are the boreattoad (western toad), plains sharp-tailed grouse, whooping crane, least tem, grizzly bear, wolverine, river otter, lynx, gray wolf, and black-footed fenet. Colorado threatened wildtife inctude the wood frog, Arctic and American peregrine falcon (the federal list does not differentiate between the Arctic and American peregrine falcon), piping plover, greater prairie chicken, greater sandhill crane, bald eagle, and Mexican spotted owl. The wood frog occurs in Routt, Jackson and Grand counties (Fig.36). The borealtoad typically occurs at elevations above 8,000 feet (the Rose Ranch elevation is 5900-6600 feet) and its known range does not include the Rose Ranch (Fig. 32). Peregrine falcon habitat during migration and summer habitat includes the area of the Rose Ranch (Fig. 30). However, Larry Green has never observed a peregrine falcon on or near the Rose Ranch and has no information which would lead him to believe that peregrines visit or have visited the Rose Ranch. One reason for peregrines not using the ranch is that golden eagles will attack peregrines and a pair of golden eagtes nests on the Rose Ranch each year. According to Larry Green, a peregrine falcon was sighted south of Carbondale several years ago and a peregrine was observed in the Frying Pan River drainage last spring. No nesting by peregrines in the Roaring Fork Valley has been documented. ROSE RANGH WILDLIFE REPORT PAGEg The known range of the piping plover, greater prairie chicken, plains sharp-tailed grouse, least tern, and Southwestern willow flycatcher (Fig. 37) does not include the Rose Ranch. Bald eagles use tall cottonwood trees along the Roaring Fork River, primarily during the winter, for hunting perches and may on occasion roost in tall cottonwoods near the river on the Rose Ranch. However, no documented nesting by bald eagles has occuned on the ranch. Whooping cranes are considered experimental/nonessential in Colorado by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) but are classified as an endangered species by the state of Colorado. Areas of fairly common migrational sighting of whooping cranes in Colorado do not occur in eastern Garfield County (Fig. 35). However, I observed a pair of whooping cranes in a wetland near the Colorado River between Silt and Rifle on September 6, 1997. Larry Green has observed one whooping crane in his 26 years with the CDOW. I contacted the USFWS Division of Ecologica! Services office in Grand Junction and requested infonnation about federalthreatened and endangered tenestrial vertebrates which might potentially visit or reside on the Rose Ranch. The USFWS advised me to be alert for bald eagles (discussed previously), peregrine falcons (discussed previously), and the Mexican spotted owl. The Mexican spotted owl is a relative of the northern spotted owl which has caused furor in the Pacific Northwest. The general range of the Mexican spotted owl encompasses Garfield County. The species occupies two distinct habitat types in Colorado. The first consists of large, steep canyons with exposed cliffs and dense old grourth mixed coniferous forests. The ( RosE MNGH wILDLIFE REPoRT Pace to second consists of canyons in pinyon-juniper areas with small and widely scattered patches of old Douglas fir. Summer roosting sites are in a cool microclimate, generatly with a closed canopy and/or on a north facing slope. All known Colorado nest s'ltes consist of small scrapes in caves or crevices on steep cliff faces. Mexican spotted owl habitat potentially exists in a canyon north of the Rose Ranch and west of County Road 109 but this area does not contain widely scattered patches of old Douglas fir. Larry Green has talked with birders in Garfield County who have conducted playback surveys for Mexican spotted owls. No Mexican spotted owls have been detected during these surveys. Although gnzzly bears were once common throughout Colorado, it appearc they have been extirpated from the state (Armstrong 1972, Gary 1911, Wanen 1942). ln 1979, an adult female grizzly attacked a hunting guide near Platoro Reservoir on the northeastern edge of the San Juan Mountains (Barrows and Holmes 1990). The guide reportedly killed the bear with a hand-held arrow. This animal was the last known specimen killed in Colorado. Wolverines historically occuned throughout westem Colorado. Populations were apparently never high in Colorado and the status of the wolverine is uncertain. Habitat for the river otter, a Cotorado threatened species, occurs along the Roaring Fork River on the Rose Ranch (Fig. 21). However, there have been no authenticated sightings of river otters along the Roaring Fork River. Restored river otter populations or historic records of occurrence of river otters in Garfield County have not been documented (Fig. 38; Fitzgerald et al. 1994:363). ( RosE RANGHWILDLIFE REPORT PAGE lt Areas of suitabte habitat for the !ynx, a Colorado endangered species, include a portion of Garfield County which lies north of the Rose Ranch (Fig. 33). Historically, the lynx occurred in mountainous areas above 9,000 feet in the Park, Gore, San Juan and La Plata Mountains, and the White River Plateau (FiEgerald et al. 1994:374). They now appear to be limited to very isolated areas of the mountains of the central part of the state. Larry Green reported that a lynx was sighted in the Frying Pan River drainage last year. The gray wotf, a Colorado endangered species, once occupied every county in Colorado. However, no authentic records of wolves in Colorado occur after 1935 (Fitzgerald et al. 1994:307). The black-footed fenet, a federal and Colorado endangered species, once occurred throughout most of Colorado (Fig. 28). However, the historic range of the black-footed fenet in Golorado does not include the area surrounding the Rose Ranch and no documented black-footed ferret specimens have ever been collected from Garfield County (Fig. 27\. Proposed and candidate species for federal endangered species classification include Preble's meadow jumping mouse, swift fox, and mountain plover. The occurrence of populations of each of these species has been documented for eastem Colorado but not forwestern Colorado. The Gunnison sage grouse is a federal and state species of concem. The CDOW Wildlife Resource lnformation System (WRIS) shows Gunnison sage grouse habitat beginning approximately 0.5 mile north of the Rose Ranch and extending north and east (Fig. 23). According to Larry Green, there have not been Gunnison sage { RoSE MNGH wILDLIFE REPORT Pler lz grouse on the valley floor for many years. The closest sage grouse population to the Rose Ranch occurred near the Colorado Mountain College main campus in Spring Valley. This population was extirpated in the late 1970s. The availabte evidence leads to the conclusion that, with the exception of the bald eagle, there are no federal or state threatened or endangered terrestrial vertebrates occuning on the Rose Ranch at any time during the year. Wildlife Migratory Routes on the Rose Ranch Garfield County requested that a determination be made of the extent of open space required to protect migratory routes of wildlife on the Rose Ranch. The CDOW defines a migration corridor (route) as a specific mappable site through which large numbers of animals migrate, and loss of which would change migration routes. The CDOW WRIS reports that there is not a migratory route/corridor for either elk or mule deer on the Rose Ranch. The closest mule deer migration corridor is 1.5 miles northwest of the Rose Ranch (Fig. 10). According to WRIS, mule deer and elk migration patterns in the area are in a south-north direction in Section 34, approximately 1.5 miles west-northwest of the Rose Ranch. I discussed the issue of wildlife migratory routes on the Rose Ranch with Larry Green. We are in agreement that there are no migratory routes for wildlife on the Rose Ranch. Wildlife, particularly elk and deer, respond to seasonal changes in weather and food availability. When the snow gets deep and food becomes less available, elk and deer seek lower elevations. As the snowline recedes in the spring, they seek higher ( { t tI ROSE RANGH WILDLIFE REPORT Plee tg elevations. However, in the case of the Rose Ranch, mappable wildlife migration corridors are not Present. Wildlife Activity. MaPs The Colorado Division of Wildtife maintains a wildlife mapping database called the Wildlife Resource lnformation System (WRIS). The system is updated yearly and is capable of producing maps showing areas used by a wildlife species during a specific time of the year and/or for a specific purpose. WRIS is on a computer file in the Garfield County Planning Department. The file contains maps for Garfield County for 22 species and species groups. I requested maps from the Planning Department for all possible occugences of mapped wildlife for the Rose Ranch. These maps appear as Figs. 2-26. A resident etk population is shown approximately 1 mile southeast of the Rose Ranch (Fig. 2). Elk severe winter range, defined as that part of the home range where 90% of the individuats are located during the average five winters of ten, is shown on the south-central and western portions of the Rose Ranch. My field survey revealed very few old elk pellet groups in that portion of the ranch mapped as severe winter range in the northcentral portion of Section 12. However, I did observe a large number of elk pellet groups and elk tracks west of County Road 109 on the westem part of the Rose Ranch. Jim Rose, in an interview, reported he had significant concentrations of elk on his ranch during three of 30 winters. The entire Rose Ranch is mapped as elk winter range (Fig. ). Much of the tower elevations, including valley floors, of Garfield County are mapped as elk winter range. The Rose Ranch is not classified by the ( ROSE RANCH WILDLIFE REPORT P'GE 14 CDOW as elk critical habitat (Fig. 6), critical habitat being defined as any seasonal activity area mapped for elk indicating that loss of that area would adversely affect the species. As with elk, the entire Rose Ranch is classified as mule deer winter range (Fig. 7). That portion of the ranch lying west of County Road 109 is classified as deer severe winter range, winter concentration areas, and critical habitat. The area west of County Road 10g wil be nonresidential open space and will be available for use by deer and elk following development. Later in this report I have recommended seasonal use restrictions for the portion of the PUD lying west of County Road 109 to reduce pressure on wintering elk and mule deer populations. The inigated pastures of the Rose Ranch, the Roaring Fork River, and the riparian transition zone between the pastures and the river are used extensively and intensively by Canada geese for nesting, feeding and wintering (Figs. 14-16). I counted 211 geese in the inigated pastures and on the Roaring Fork River during a field survey. The individual who has inigated the pastures of the Rose Ranch for the past five years has reported seeing as many as 500 Canada geese feeding in the pastures. Geese will not have the irrigated pastures available as feeding sites following development. However, there are altemate feedings sites in the area. One likely future feeding site, whether wetcomed or opposed by the developer, will be the proposed golf course. The CDOW advised me that there could be extensive use of the golf course by Canada geese with resultant damage/nu isance problems. No known bald eagle nest sites occur on the Rose Ranch. The nearest nest site is 1 .5+ miles southeast of the ranch (Fig. 17). Bald eagle winter range includes ( ( ROSE RANGH WILDLIFE REPORT PAGE t5 much of the Roaring Fork Valley and Grand Valley, including that portion of the Rose Ranch along the Roaring Fork River (Fig. 18). A bald eagle roost site occurs in the general area of the great blue heron rookery on the east side of the Roaring Fork River on the southem part of the Rose Ranch. The nearest building envelope in the Rose Ranch pUD would be approximately 1,000 feet from the bald eagle roosting site. There is currengy a home on the west bank of the Roaring Fork River that is within 400 feet of the bald eagle roosting site to the east of the river. ln addition to the mapped roosting site, bald eagles may roost in the tops of dead cottonwood trees on the westem shore of the Roaring Fo1|1 River where the river occurs on and adjacent to the Rose Ranch., ln my opinion, bald eagles in the Roaring Fork Valley and Grand Valley are not limited by a shortage of diurnal or nocturnat roosting trees or by a shortage of undisturbed feeding habitat. Wild turkeys do not occur on the Rose Ranch., The most recent sighting of wild turkeys by Jim Rose was more than 5 years ago. WRIS maps turkey overall range beginning approximately 1 mile south of the ranch (Fig. 2O). There is a seasonally-active great blue heron nesting area (called a rookery) located in two locations on the Rose Ranch. One rookery contains 10-12 seasonally- active nests and is located within the proposed 6.3 acre Floate/s Park. The other nesting area contains three seasonally-active nests and is located on and east of proposed lots 4042 (Fig. 39). According to District Wildlife Manger Kevin Wright (Carbondale) and Larry Green (Glenwood Springs), the larger great blue heron rookery is the last remaining rookery of significant size in the Roaring Fork Valley. ln addition to using the two rookeries for nesting, herons are commonly seen using the upper ( portions of dead cottonwood trees on the Rose Ranch for diurnat and noctumal roosting sites. The WRIS map (Fig. 23) showing sage grouse overall range as beginning , approximately 0.5 mile north of the Rose Ranch is incorrect. According to Larry Green, Gunnison sage grouse have not occuned on the valley floor for many years. Red-tailed and prairie falcon nest sites occur southeast of the Rose Ranch but have not been reported as occurring on the Rose Ranch (Figs. 24,25). WRIS did not indicate that there was a golden eagle nest site on or near the Rose Ranch. However, Larry Green told me of a golden eagle nest site on the ranch which has been used for many years. I observed the nest in the presence of Mr. Green on September 16. The location of the nest is shown in Fig. 39. WRIS maps the Rose Ranch and allof the area surrounding it in Fig. 26 as being black bear habitat. This is not unusual as btack bears have large home ranges and move seasonally to new areas in response to weather and food conditions. Jim Rose never savy a bear on the ranch during the 30 years he lived there and Larry Green reports that the nearest black bear sighted was along U.S. High way 82to the east of the Rose Ranch. I met with District Wildlife Managers Kevin Wright and Larry Green on September 16, lgg7 to gather information and to solicit their input on wildlife issues that might be associated with the Rose Ranch PUD. t have analyzedand evaluated their comments WILDLIFE ISSUES ASSOGIATED WITH THE ROSE RANGH PUD ROSE RANGH WILDLIFE REPORT PAGE 17 r and concerns in addition to identifying mechanisms for altering the potential impact of f the develoPment on wildlife. ( Based on the wildlife field survey I conducted, relying entirely on the amount and distribution of elk and deer pellet groups, tracks, and evidence of past browsing, mule deer use the sagebrush-rabbitbrush habitat east of County Road 109 and both elk and deer use the pinyon-juniper habitat west of County Road 109 where these locations occur on the Rose Ranch. The sagebrush-rabbitbrush mule deer winter range will be lost when houses are built. However, to the dislike of homeowners and the golf @urse manger, the loss of the sagebrush-rabbitbrush habitat will be offset to a degree by forage availabte in the form of residential tawns, residentialwoody and herbaceous plantings, and grasses comprising the fairways, greens and rough of the golf course- Both elk and deer are attracted strongly to fertilized vegetation and I anticipate foraging by these animals on planted vegetation. Elk have traditionally not used the inigated pastures and sagebrush habitats east of County Road 109 and residential development in this area shoutd not significantty affect elk habitat. The greatest amount of past elk use has been west of County Road 1Og. ln my opinion, the quantity of nutritious forage for elk west of County Road 109 will be greater following development than prior to development. Fertilized grasses of the golf course will be very attractive to elk and deer and will be eaten by elk and deer, particularly during the winter. lntensive and/or extensive use by Rose Ranch PUD ( ROSE RANCH W|LDLIFE REPORT PAGE 18 residents or other individuals of that portion of the Rose Ranch lying west of County Road 109 from December-March could displace wintering deer and elk. Recommendation, lssue #1 I recommend that the portion of the Rose Ranch lying west of County Road 109 be closed to public access from December 1 to March 31 each year, with the exception of access for golfing and access to and including the planned active recreation area- Limiting use of this area will reduce stress on wintering mule deer and elk. lssue ll2: lmpact of development on great blue herons The presence of homes on lots 4}42will deter/eliminate nesting by great blue herons in three seasonalty-active nests in trees located on and near the lots. Planned use of the 6.3 acre parcel east of the Roaring Fork Riverfor a Floaters Park (planned for use by three commercial rafting companies) wilt significantly impact great blue heron nesting. Recommendation, lssue #2 The previously viable great blue heron nesting area on and near lots 4042 will cease to be viable following construction of homes on these lots and subsequent human activity on and near these !ots. To mitigate this loss, and to retain the viability of the larger heron rookery east of the Roaring Fork River, I recommend that entry to the proposed Floaters Park be prohibited from March 1-July 15 each year. This restriction will altow great blue herons to initiate and complete efforts to nest and to hatch and fledge their young. I also recommend that Roaring Fork lnvestments enter into ROSE RANCH WILDLIFE REPORT PAGE 19 discussions with the CDOW regarding lease of the 6.3 acre rookery by the CDOW or that Roaring Fork lnvestments develop a conservation easement with appropriate safeguards to allow great blue herons to initiate and complete nesting efforts. lssue #3: Allowing year-round use of the proposed Fishing Park by residents of the Rose Ranch PUD and residents of contiguous subdivisions will negatively impact great blue heron nesting. Recommendation. lssue #3 I recommend that human entry into the proposed fishing park at its currently proposed location be prohibited from March 1-July 15 each year. Sufficient river frontage along the eastern boundary of the Rose Ranch exists north of the proposed fishing park to allow angters to pursue their sport. The project planner should investigate the feasibility of an altemate location for a proposed fishing park. lssue #4: How willwildlife travelfrom west of County Road 109 to the Roaring Fork River? Recommendation, lssue #4 A travel corridor for wildlife is planned atong an east-west gradient on the south boundary of the PUD. To furtherfacilitate movement of wildlife from west of County Road 10g to the Roaring Fork River, t recommend that vegetative screening be planted on the tops of the north and south banks of the east-west drainage occuning between lots 63/195 and 641194. Vegetative screening will provide psychological security to wildlife traveling from the westem edge of the development to the Roaring Fork River. I RoSE ilNGH wILDLIFE REPoRT Peee zo The currently planned road crossing this drainage should provide sufficient clearance to allow wildtife to pass underneath the road while enroute to the river. lssue #5: Human activities occuning on the PUD to the west of County Road 109 could impact golden eagle nesting. Recommendation. lssue #5 A pair of golden eagles has nested at the location depicted in Fig. 39 for many years. To reduce the possibitity that hikers and joggers using the pedestrian trial depicted west of County Road 109 in the Rose Ranch sketch plan would impact golden eagle nesting attempts, I recommend that a banier be operationalfrom March 1SJuly 15 at a point 200-300 yards north of the planned potential overlook on the pedestrian trail. A sign shoutd be ptaced on the north side of the barrier and should state: "Golden eagle nesting area ahead. Entry prohibited from March 1S-July 15." lssue #6: Dogs owned by Rose Ranch PUD homeowners may harm wildlife. Recommendation, lssue #6 t recommend that before a Rose Ranch PUD homeowner is allowed to possess a dog within his/her building envelope, he/she should be required to construct a kennel or a dog-proof fence to provide for containment of the dog when the dog is outside and unsupervised. A proposed Code of Covenants and Restrictions for the Rose Ranch PUD should require that when a dog is outside of a building envelope, it must be leashed. (" I\'-.t CONCLUSIONS ltisincorrecttosaythatresidentialdevelopmentsalwayshurtwildlifeoralways help wildlife. Some species benefit from PUDg and some species are harmed' ln my' opinion, the developer of the proposed Rose Ranch PUD has made important efforts and concessions to protect and preserve open Space' environmentalvalues and amenities, and wirdrife. The most important wirdrife habitats on the Rose Ranch are the Roaring Fork River, the riparian transition habitat arong the river, and the pinyon-iuniper hiflsides west of county Road 1og. A[ three habitats have been designated as open space by the developer. There will be human-wildlife conflicts with the development as there are with virtually any development. Fortunately, the development plan has incorporated mechanisms and strategies for reducing conflicts and for facilitating use of the PUD by wildlife following development. ln my opinion' the Rose Ranch PUD' after incorporating my wildlife planning recommendations, will result in a balance to the diremma of how to provide housing for humans whire retaining the natural character of the landscape and its wildtife inhabitants' ( t ROSE RANCH WLDLIFE REPORT PAGE22 ./.

Irrigation water will be requiied for the golf course and lawn areas. Potable water supplies will be required for consumable "in-house" uses. Replacement supplies will be needed to offset pond evaporation for the water features. The physical supply for lhese demands is proposed to be provided by two delivery systems. The first is an independent potabte water system for in-house uses, and the second is a separate raw watei system for irrigation and pond evaporation' :r { Water Division No. 5 Case No. 97CW236 ei"na.a Findings of Fact, Ruling of Referee and Decree of Court Page I I Potable Water Demands - In House Total in-house water demand for 550 EQR's (15 of which are associated with the golf course club house) is equal to 184.8 acre-feet per year' In-house use water consumption was assumed to ue 5o/o ofdiversions resulting in a depletion to the stream if g.Zacre-feet per year. This amount also represents the arnount of water that would be contributed to wastewater flows. Wastewater will be collected and treated by a central wastewater system. Potable Water Demands - Outside Applicant'has included an allotnent for minimal outside uses (car washing, taniscaping, etc.) for each EQR from the potable water system. Jt is estimated that these uses would be equivalent to the irrigation demands of 500 ft2 per EQR for a total area of 6.3 acres. The diversion requirernent is estimated tobe 19.2 acre-feet per year. using a crop consumption demand of 2.13 acre-feet per acre the lonsumption to the steam would be 13.4 acre-feet per yeil' Raw Water Demands - Irrigation It is estimated that 58 .acres of lawns and gardens will require irrigation.

According to theconsumptiveusevalue determined in CaseNo.96CW3l| thiswill leave unused a total of76.4 acre feet ofconsumptive use associated with Applicant's Glenwood Ditch rights. Delaved Impacts Delayed impacts are insignificant due to the project's close proximity to the Roaring Fork River and tlpes ofwater use. However, to ensure there is no expansion of use, . and to protect other water rights from any change in the historic pattern of return flows, an additional 10.0 acre feet ofwaterpermonth from Applicant's Glenwood Ditch water rights will be dedicated to the stream systern during the months of July andAugust at.arateof .32cfs in luly and.43 cfs inAugust.

COMMENTS The exact configuration of the subject residential and golf course development is uncertain at this time and may ultimately provide for less than 550 EQR's. Applicant reserves the right to claim consumptive use ,Nsociated with its Glenwood Ditch water rights to the extent those rights are not required by the development ultimately approved by Garfield County, and to use such excess consumptive use within the o T1r" 50 acre feet of consumptive use credit is equivalent to L2l cfs of the 4.85 cfs ofRobertson Ditch waterreferenced inparagraph 7.B.(1). This l.2l cfs ofRobertson Ditch water will be blpassed and the remaining 3.64 cfs will continue to be used for the irrigation of 73.2 acres on the Rose Ranch Property. ' Applicant owns the right to 8.85 cfs in the Roberson Ditch. By this decree, 4.E5 cfs ofApplicant's Robertson Ditch righs is being changed and dedicated to Applicant's residentiaVgolf course deyelopment for augmentation purposes and will also continue to be used for irrigation. 2.5 cfs of Applicant's remaining 4.0 cfs in the Robertson Ditch is currently being used and will continue to be used under this decree for the irrigation ofthe Westbaok Golf Course.

Any use of said excess consumptive use beyond this development will require the filing of an application for change of waterright, at which time the historical consumptive use associated therewith may be requantified. Stioulations: Pursuant to the Stipulation between the Applicant and the City ofColorado Springs, if Applicant obtains a water allotrnent contract from the Bureau of Reclamation for Green Mountain Water, Applicant agrees to the following: The Green'Mountain Reservoir water utilized in connection with the subject plan shall be stored in GreenMountainReservoirunderthepriorityawardedtotheUnited States ofAmerica for said reservoir. However, Applicant agrees that the exchange to be decreed in the above referenced case shall not be administered mder the priority date awarded the United States ofAmerica for Green Mountain Reservoir, but shall be administered as a decree entered dtr 1filing date of 1997. Before implementation of the subject plan, Applicant shall have a final, fully executed agreement with the Bureau of Reclamation for use of Green Mountain Reservoirwater. Applicant acknowledges that its right to utilize Green Mountain Reservoir water as a source of exchange water for the rights sought herein is dependent upon the temns of any agreement with the Bureau of Reclamation and the physical availability of such water for Applicant's benefit. Applicant agrees that to the extent the exercise of the rights sought herein depend upon Green Mountain Reservoir as a source of augmentation and exchange water, such rights shall not be exercised should Green Mountain Reservoir water no longer be available for Applicant's use. Pursuant to the 1955 BIue River Stipulation, Colorado Springs' right to divert certain ofits BlueRiverWateris subjectto the determinationbytheSecretaryofthelnterior that Green Mountain Reservoir will fill. .Colorado Springs is concerned that Applicant's exchange of releases from Green Mountain Reservoir may cause the Secretary ofthe Interior to delay or withhold that determination rmless the Secretary, in making that "paper fill calculation" agrees to allow an appropriate credit against the amount required to fill Green Mountain Reservoir for releases that are exchanged for use above Green Mountain Reservoir. Colorado Springs has requested the Bureau ofReclamation to credit such exchanges against the amount required to fill Green Mountain, but no commifinenthas been made. Therefore, in addition to the period of retained jurisdiction otherwise provided in the decree, Applicant and ( r Water Division No. 5 Case No. 97CW236 Amended Findings of Fact, Ruling of Referee and Decree of Court Page 16 C. Colorado Springs agree that the Court shall retain jurisdiction for a period of five (5) years from thEdate of entry ofthe decree in the above-captioned case for the purpose of considering whether or not additional terms or conditions must be imposed to prevent injury, if any, to Colorado Springs BIue River Rights (a) if the Secretary of the Interior does not credit the amount of water exchanged from Green Mountain Reservoir for Applicant's use for the fill of Green Mountain Reserryoir pursuant to the fill calculation required by the 1955 Blue River Stipulation in Case Nos. 2782, 5016 and 5017, U.S. District Court for the District ofColorado, or (b) otherwise does not account for the subject exchange in a manner which will prevent injuty to the SpringsBlueRiverRights.
