CDOW NDIS mapping indicates that most elk Winter Range activities occur off of the property. Elk activity on the property during the summer months is likely very infrequent and limited to a few individual animals, if it occurs at all. Because of the light and infrequent use of the property by elk, the development of this project would have negligible impacts to elk. However, as ever increasing development pressure occurs within winter ranges in the greater Roaring Fork watershed, elk are changing their traditional use patterns. This project’s impact, while negligible, would continue to reduce other Winter Range options for elk. The clustering of homesites near roads, and leaving of large open space areas within the property, will definitely help to preserve some winter habitats for elk. However, pet dogs will also decrease the availability for elk to fully utilize potential Winter Range through barking and other activities, which would keep elk from fully utilizing remaining habitats. The layout of the property would allow for continued elk movement through the area, and the open space areas would allow for foraging opportunities. Avoidance of homes is likely, but elk would still likely filter through and around homes during the nighttime hours. Therefore, elk damage to landscaping is likely inevitable. The construction phase of the development will likely be the most active, noisy, and potentially disturbing period for any elk that may be in the area. Elk can become habituated to vehicle traffic, but pedestrian traffic or -off-leash dogs can quickly discourage elk from using an area during the winter months (late November through late April). If widespread construction activities occur during the winter months when elk may be in the area, elk would likely avoid the areas with high human activity. As elk generally leave the area by April, spring, summer, and fall use of the development will not have significant impacts on elk. Summary – This project would have very minor impacts to elk and elk habitats. Elk use of the property is limited to a few elk during the winter months; nevertheless, the development of this property would cumulatively reduce available winter range habitats within the area. Because the development has significant open space areas, some elk use of the property is likely to continue, but elk use would occur with increased stress levels and likely reduced availability of habitats. There are recommendations presented later in this report to minimize other stresses or negative impacts to elk and deer moving through and using the area.

Bears are commonly supplementing their diets by raiding garbage cans, breaking into homes, and becoming a hazard and a nuisance. Habitat in the area around the TCI property is dominated by pinyon/juniper woodlands, and Gambel’s oak mixed shrublands, which is considered to be good habitat for bears. The significant riparian areas along the Roaring Fork River also provide higher-quality habitats. This development would have minor to insignificant impacts on bear populations or bear habitat, but homeowners should use bear-proof trash containers, should not feed pets outside or leave pet food outside, and should be cautioned against planting significant amounts of fruit-bearing trees near their homes, which can attract bears. More recommendations to minimize human/bear conflicts are presented later in this report. 7.4 WILD TURKEY The wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo merriami), endemic in North America, is found from southern Canada south through the 48 contiguous states and along the Sierras to central Mexico. Native Americans, and later the Europeans who populated North America, sought these large birds for food. This is a non-migratory species, socially complex, with an array of vocal signals. A strong short-distance flier, it roosts in trees at night but spends most daylight hours on the ground. A game bird noted for its elusiveness and as a table delicacy, it has been reestablished by modern game management in and beyond its pre-Columbian range. This is the only bird in the Western Hemisphere to receive worldwide importance through domestication. As a North American native, the domestic turkey of Mexico became established over much of the world traveled by Europeans. It even returned to America with English colonists of the Atlantic seaboard. There are six subspecies of the Wild Turkey, four well-marked; the nominate subspecies is the least known. Turkeys eat vegetable matter with smaller amounts of animal matter, primarily invertebrates and cold-blooded vertebrates (frogs). Grit is important, but in general, turkeys are extremely adaptable in feeding. The size of area and locality over which flocks roam is governed by food supply. Turkeys forage on the ground in flocks, occasionally mounting shrubs or low trees for fruits. They scratch the forest floor for mast (acorn and nuts) in fall, winter, and early spring; during spring they may scratch up bulbs of forbs if mast is not available. Scratching involves one foot, then the other foot twice, then the original foot once and a step backward. They begin stripping sedges and grasses during late spring in the woods and, in summer, in adjacent openings. In stripping, turkeys grab the culm (stem) in their bills, strip, and swallow many seeds in one movement. When still on summer range, flocks sometimes feed line-abreast with the hen near the center, advancing across fields or savanna in search of grasshoppers. Their spacing is maintained in this behavior by a constant purring sound. They will spend more time in oak thickets in the fall searching for mast. Feeding begins TCI Lane Wildlife and Vegetation Assessment Report July 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC. 19 shortly after leaving a roost near daybreak and lasts 2 to 3 hours, depending on abundance of food. Feeding resumes for about 2 to 3 hours before going to roost near sunset. Turkeys swallow their food whole; it is held within the crop (a sac-like enlargement of the gullet), and later discharged to the gizzard. Wild turkeys occur on the TCI property in a small flock of approximately 10 birds. Turkeys forage in the meadows, bringing their chicks in to feed on the copious grasshoppers in the late summer, and seek shelter in the dense underbrush associated with the property. The turkeys generally keep to the cottonwood forests adjacent to the Roaring Fork River, and associated wetlands near Blue Creek. The large ponderosa pine trees (Pinus ponderosa) on the property provide excellent roost trees. In general, the property provides a good array of habitats to support wild turkey. Potential Impacts of Development The development would continue to allow for turkey use, through the preservation of the cottonwood forests and meadow systems, and protection of wetland areas. Construction and use of the development would likely curtail widespread turkey use of the area for some time. After development, the main impact to turkey would be dogs. As turkeys are ground-nesters, their nests would be extremely susceptible to predation from domestic dogs, and their chicks would also be very susceptible to dog predation and harassment. If off-leash dogs become common on the property, there is a very good chance that turkeys would abandon the site as a nesting area. 7.5 LEWIS’S WOODPECKER Lewis’s woodpecker (Melanerpes lewis) is named after Meriwether Lewis, of the Lewis and Clark expeditions. Lewis’s woodpeckers have fairly unique flying patterns with long glides and aerial acrobatics, which is uncommon among woodpeckers. Distributed in the United States west of the Great Plains, Lewis’s woodpecker favors open forests, ranging in altitude from low-elevation riparian areas to higher-elevation burns and pine forests. Like all other woodpeckers, it requires snags (standing, dead, or partly dead trees) for nesting, although it is not anatomically specialized for excavating in wood and the trees it selects for nesting are generally well-decayed. Lewis’s woodpecker was included in this assessment as it is fairly uncommon in the valley, the US Forest Service locally lists this species as Sensitive, and there is a breeding population of this bird on the property. Species Ecology Synopsis The sporadic distribution and relatively uncommon status of this species within much of its range present a serious challenge for existing local-scale censusing methods. Broad-scale population trends indicate that numbers have declined markedly throughout the species’ range since the 1960s, and several examples of local reductions in distribution have been reported. Possible reasons include loss of suitable habitat, presence of pesticides in the environment, and competition for nest holes or general disturbance by the European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris). TCI Lane Wildlife and Vegetation Assessment Report July 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC. 20 Lewis’s woodpeckers are migratory, arriving in breeding and summer ranges in May, and departing again in early to mid-September. Lewis’s woodpeckers from the TCI property likely migrate westward towards the lower Uncompahgre, Gunnison, and Colorado River valleys, but some birds may migrate as far south as northern Mexico. Their migration is slow and is diurnal (during the day, as opposed to night). Important aspects of breeding habitat include an open canopy, a brushy understory offering ground cover, dead or downed woody material, available perches, and abundant insects. Three principal habitats are open ponderosa pine forest, open riparian woodland dominated by cottonwood, and logged or burned pine forest; however, breeding birds are also found in oak woodland, nut and fruit orchards, pinyon pine/juniper woodland, a variety of pine and fir forests, and agricultural areas including farms and ranchlands. In the Roaring Fork valley, Lewis’s woodpeckers are often found along older cottonwood stands with abundant snags. These snags are often formed near old irrigation ditches, where the water has been piped or the irrigation ditch no longer functions and widespread cottonwood mortality has occurred. Lewis’s woodpeckers in the valley are relatively rare above 7,000 feet in elevation. Their diet varies with seasonal abundance of food items: primarily free-living (not wood- boring) insects, acorns or other nuts, and fruit. Lewis’s woodpeckers hunt for insects in the air, on tree trunks and branches, in bushes, and on the ground. They use snags, telephone poles, fence posts, and other locations with open views for perches when fly-catching. Such habitat features, and the furrowed bark of mature cottonwood trees, provide crevices in which Lewis’s Woodpeckers store acorns, other nuts, and grains during fall and winter. In Sierra Nevada pine forest in California, foraging substrates were 66% snag (presumably for gleaning or as a perch between fly-catching sallies), 15% ground, 14% live tree, 3% bush, and 2% log. On-tree position was 68% trunk, 16% live branch, 4% dead branch, 12% foliage (Raphael and White 1984). Near streams, ponds, and wet meadows, Lewis’s woodpecker will take advantage of locally abundant hatches of insects. They seldom if ever excavate for wood-boring insects; instead, they catch insects by fly- catching and gleaning. They glean like other woodpeckers, by starting at the base of a tree or trunk and working up or out to smaller branches, using visual cues during gleaning rather than auditory cues. In some cases, they may raid acorn caches, and feed in orchards. Lewis’s woodpeckers catch insects in flight generally by hawking from a perch, but also engage in “nonspecific” or “direct” long-duration foraging flights, sometimes amid swallows and swifts over fields and open water. They catch insects with their beaks; this species has large gape relative to that of other woodpeckers. They scan almost continuously for insects between fly-catching bouts, usually from the top of a pole or dead tree. Lewis’s woodpeckers also eat acorns, which is generally harvested, shelled, and broken into pieces. Pieces (or whole meat if unbroken) are stored in a natural crack or cavity. They generally pick acorns and nuts from branches rather than from the ground, perching crosswise above the food item, and sometimes hanging from underneath. They use tops of poles or broken-topped snags, with a suitable crack in which the food item can be wedged, as an anvil for shelling and breaking up acorns and nuts. TCI Lane Wildlife and Vegetation Assessment Report July 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC. 21 The main threat to this species is the loss of habitat. It is associated with open ponderosa pine forests, which have declined dramatically in the west; only 2–8% of open ponderosa pine stands remain in many areas, compared to presettlement conditions. The reasons include fire suppression and intensive grazing (both of which result in dense stands of young ponderosa pine and invasion by Douglas fir), selective timber-harvesting, and replanting with closely spaced seedlings. Burned ponderosa pine forest is also important nesting habitat, and burned forests may be rarer than in historical times because of fire suppression and salvage-logging of burned stands in western forests. In areas such as western Colorado, where Lewis’s woodpeckers are more closely associated with cottonwood stands, one study documented declines in this habitat. The surface area of cottonwood stands declined 31% along the lower Arkansas River and 9% along the South Platte River. During the same period, there were increases in the shrub understory layer, with prominent invasion of tamarisk. The loss of cottonwoods is attributed to attrition of standing dead trees and lack of regeneration of seedlings because of flood control, low water-flow rates, and intense grazing from cattle. In addition, the frequency and severity of fires has increased because fuel loading increases with invading tamarisk. With the burning of much of the cottonwood galleries near Ranch at Roaring Fork this spring, there may be an abundance of new snags in the near future. Impacts of Development The development of the TCI property would have some negative impacts on Lewis’s woodpecker. This would likely be from piping or rerouting of irrigation waters, and subsequent drying and long-term mortality of cottonwood trees, with little regeneration taking place to offset this loss of nesting habitat. While preservation of cottonwood snags will likely occur in open space areas, removal of hazardous snags near homesites will reduce snag densities. Management of wetland areas for mosquito control may also somewhat reduce the flying insect population in the area; however, through the widespread preservation of the wetland areas, there should be ample insect production for the woodpeckers. Lewis’s woodpeckers would also be negatively impacted by human activities, and the loud noises and activity associated with construction would likely preclude some nesting activities near the development. However, as most snags would have to be removed from areas around homes; thus potential nesting habitats for Lewis’s woodpeckers would likely already have been removed from occupancy. Lewis’s woodpeckers would likely still use areas around homes for foraging and daily use, but would likely prefer to locate nests in more secluded areas that are away from human activities. TCI Lane Wildlife and Vegetation Assessment Report July 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC. 22 7.6 UTE LADIES’ TRESSES ORCHID Ute Ladies’-tresses (Spiranthes diluvialis) is a native orchid that was listed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service as a Threatened species in January of 1992. At that time, the species population was estimated at 6,000 individuals in 10 extant and 7 historical (and thought extirpated) sites in the states of Nevada, Colorado, and Utah and thought to be extremely vulnerable. In addition, the habitat of this plant is thought to be seriously threatened from development, noxious weeds, and some grazing practices. Since 1992, Ute Ladies’ Tresses are known to occur in 7 western states and population numbers are now estimated at 83,000 (Fertig et al. 2005). In 2004, the USFWS initiated a review to begin the process to take this species off the threatened list as the increased population numbers in combination with additional data regarding the availability of habitat led the USFWS to believe this plant did not need the extra protections the Endangered Species Act provides. To date, Ute Ladies’- Tresses remain on the Endangered Species list. Description and Life History Ute Ladies’-tresses (Spiranthes diluvialis) is a long-lived perennial with a flowering stalk about 12-60 cm tall originating from basal leaves and tuberous thickened roots. Basal leaves are linear and up to 1 cm wide and 29 cm long. The inflorescence is a 3-15cm spike that is sparsely pubescent and has numerous small white or ivory-colored flowers arranged in a gradual spiral. The flower is pollinated chiefly by solitary bees (genus Anthophora), bumble bees (Bombus spp) and occasionally honey bees (Apis mellifera) (Sipes and Tepedino 1995, Sipes et al. 1995, Pierson and Tepedino 2000). The species likely reproduces solely by seed (Fertig et al. 2005). The seeds are extremely small and light, and thus are not viable for very long. It is thought the seeds form a relationship with mycorrhizal soil fungi in order to survive. Additionally, it is thought the orchid can remain underground for 8–11 years before it has enough reserves to form above ground leafy shoots. Moreover, the orchid can subvert back to a vegetative state for up to 2 years, perhaps longer (Fertig et al. 2005). Habitat This plant grows chiefly in moist meadows associated with both natural and human- modified wetlands between 4,300 to 6,850 feet in elevation within openings of the vegetation where it is not overly dense. The orchid prefers a ‘mid-seral’ vegetation condition where various disturbances keep vegetation from becoming too dense and Ute Ladies’ Tresses (photo by Mindy Wheeler) TCI Lane Wildlife and Vegetation Assessment Report July 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC. 23 prohibit woody vegetation from establishing within the open meadows (Arft 1995). Suitable habitat settings include perennial stream terraces, floodplains and oxbows, as well as seasonally flooded river terraces, sub-irrigated or spring-fed abandoned stream channels and valleys, lakeshores, along irrigation canals, berms, levees, irrigated meadows, excavated gravel pits, and reservoirs. The orchid is found in these habitats in Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Washington, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. Figure 7 shows the orchid habitat on the property. TCI Lane Wildlife and Vegetation Assessment Report July 2008 24 7.6.1 FIGURE 7: UTE LADIES’-TRESSES HABITAT ON THE TCI LANE RANCH TCI Lane Wildlife and Vegetation Assessment Report July 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC. 25 Management Recommendations for Ute Ladies’ Tresses In order to assure the orchid population remains stable on the property, it is essential to first understand the present condition of the population and its surrounding habitat. First, it is important to gather at least 2 (preferably 3) years of baseline data to get a solid estimate as to the population size since orchid populations can vary by an order of magnitude in just one year. Varying habitat conditions along with the orchid’s ability to remain in a vegetative and/or dormant state can produce vast differences in population numbers from year to year. Second, it is known that the rare orchid depends on shallow groundwater and alluvial soils along with consistent mild disturbances to maintain the surrounding vegetation in a ‘mid-seral’ state in order for its persistence (Fertig et al. 2005). At the TCI Lane Ranch, this vegetation condition has been maintained by the combination of groundwater flows from Blue Creek, irrigation canals and the Roaring Fork River and the grazing practices that have been in place over the last century. Third, it is also important that sufficient numbers of pollinators be active in the area during flowering time to assure the orchid sets seed for continued propagation. In order for the orchid population to persist on this property, the hydrologic regime must remain similar and either grazing will need to remain a management tool (with similar grazing times and intensities), or other vegetation management techniques will be needed to assure the vegetation remains open and low enough to support the orchid. Grazing history at this property has included early spring grazing (cows are usually moved to summer pasture by late May) as well as some grazing in the late fall (livestock back on the property in late October through November). The vegetation in these areas has usually been grazed to about 3 to 6 inches in the spring. Alternatives to grazing could include mowing the orchid habitat to 6 inches before June 1st annually or bi-annually (Riedel, pers. comm. June 2008). It will be necessary to use a vehicle that will do the least amount of damage to the soil surface possible. Another potential option is to execute prescribed burns in the orchid habitat to remove excess thatch as well as keep the area free of large, woody vegetation. These burns should occur in the winter every 3 to 5 years as possible. Ute Ladies Tresses among grasses in wet meadow TCI Lane Wildlife and Vegetation Assessment Report July 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC. 26 Weed control will also be necessary in the orchid habitat and should include a grazing (or mowing) treatment in the spring, as well as herbicide treatment to the Canada thistle in the fall after the orchid has flowered and set seed. However, weed treatment should be applied with particular care within the orchid habitat as damage to other forbs (wildflowers) in the area could reduce the number of pollinators in the area. A back-pack sprayer or potentially a ‘hand wick’ (a glove wet with herbicide and applied to the thistle directly) method should only be used in these orchid habitat areas. It should also be noted that wetland mitigation plans as well as habitat creation within the proposed conservation easement should be considered for the perpetuation of this orchid population. A qualified botanist should assess the possibility of creating or enhancing all habitat components for the orchid. Monitoring Protocols A ‘rope count’ monitoring protocol should be executed annually to produce the data necessary to be able to detect upward or downward trends of a Ute Ladies’-Tresses population. Counts should be conducted in early August (August 2–12) and should include all suitable habitats. Notes should also be taken regarding the habitat condition (noxious weed presence, woody debris presence, total vegetation cover). If the population decreases significantly, steps be required to rectify or improve the habitat. Appendix B explains the ‘rope count’ method as per City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks. Photos should be taken from the center of each transect toward each end of the transect. TCI Lane Wildlife and Vegetation Assessment Report July 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC. 27 8 NOXIOUS WEEDS The noxious weeds on the property pose a threat to the integrity of the natural vegetation communities. This section provides background information regarding noxious weeds, outlines specific goals for the property, and provides suggestions for effective management, taking into account both the weeds and the rare orchid on the property. For effective weed management, it is essential to define the problem as clearly as possible to set and achieve aggressive, yet feasible goals. It is imperative to utilize all methods available to control current weed infestations, prevent new infestations, and protect non- infested lands. This is particularly true of the areas on the property where the rare orchid is present. According to the State Noxious Weed Act, counties may enforce the control of designated species. The species found at the property that are on the Garfield County noxious weed list require control as mandated by the weed law. See Appendix C for the Colorado State Weed List. Weed Survey Results It is important to know the details of the extent of the noxious weed problem on the property in order to set goals for a weed management plan. An initial comprehensive weed survey on the property was completed in June of 2008. Figures 8 and 9 show the locations and species of each weed infestation. The database within the ArcView shape file also shows the densities of the infestations. The accuracy of the mapping of each weed species differs since each differs in its level of exposure at this time of year. Since the property had recently been grazed, many of the Canada and plumeless thistle plants were at ground level and were only visible within 5 feet; thus the mapping for these species may have a lower level of accuracy than the other weeds on the property. Overall, the weed map averages about 80% accuracy. In any case, these data provide a baseline for an accurate weed management and monitoring program and will allow a dynamic weed-control program that can be modified and monitored with changes in the program as needed. TCI Lane Wildlife and Vegetation Assessment Report July 2008 28 8.1 FIGURE 8: NOXIOUS WEED POLYGONS ON THE TCI LANE RANCH TCI Lane Wildlife and Vegetation Assessment Report July 2008 29 8.2 FIGURE 9: NOXIOUS WEED POINTS WITHIN THE TCI LANE RANCH TCI Lane Wildlife and Vegetation Assessment Report July 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC. 30 Weed Management Management of noxious weeds on this property will need to be immediate, consistent, and persistent. The combination of release from livestock grazing pressure and disturbance of development will likely cause a considerable increase in weed populations. Livestock have been grazing Canada and plumeless thistle for years and keep these weeds and their growth suppressed. It is also well-known that all weeds are opportunists and easily invade disturbed soils and out-compete native vegetation very easily. Weed control occurred in the upper pastures in the summer of 2007, and will occur in the lower pastures in 2008. Additionally, if possible, it is suggested that the soil be disturbed in a piecemeal fashion as much as possible as development occurs. If much of the property’s soil is disturbed at one time, the weed populations will likely become overwhelmingly dense. Continuation of livestock grazing should remain an option, not only for the perpetuation of rare orchid habitat but for effective weed control. Grazing could continue until the weeds become manageable with other methods (herbicide, mowing, etc). Prioritization of Weed Control Since the extent of the weed problem is known, a strategic prioritization of weed-control activities should be executed. Small, isolated patches of weeds are the ‘hot spots’ and need to be higher priority than very large, well-established infestations. Smaller, newly discovered patches are easier to eradicate and should be eradicated as soon as they are discovered (when possible). Therefore, high priority should be given to: o Weeds that are beginning to encroach or have the propensity to encroach on the rare orchid habitat. ƒ This includes selected populations of Canada thistle. o Weeds that are new or relatively uncommon to the region. ƒ This includes the small population of sulfur cinquefoil. o Small infestations of species known to be highly invasive. ƒ This includes absinth wormwood, sulfur cinquefoil, oxeye daisy and Russian olive. o Infestations likely to spread to other areas such as roadsides, trails, and drainages. ƒ This includes houndstongue and common burdock that is close to known livestock and wildlife trails, as well as weeds that are directly adjacent to any water courses. o Edges of large infestations. ƒ This would include the edges of the large infestations of Canada and plumeless thistles and houndstongue around the edges of the property. TCI Lane Wildlife and Vegetation Assessment Report July 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC. 31 Lower priority will be given to: o Large, established infestations that would be difficult to eradicate. o Less-invasive species that only infest highly disturbed areas. Additionally, regular communication with managers of the Garfield County weed program can be helpful to become aware of the potential invaders in the area as well as any new herbicides or other control methods they have found to be particularly effective. Their contact number is (970) 625-8601. Control of Existing Infestations The best technique (or techniques) for managing a given weed infestation is dependent on many factors: access, growth form of the weed species (e.g. annual, biennial, or perennial), size of the weed patch, and proximity of the weed patch to sensitive areas (water sources, rare plant or animal habitat, etc.), and the weather and temperature at the time of control. The techniques for managing weeds should be a combination of mechanical (e.g. pulling, mowing, and cutting), cultural controls (e.g. maintaining native plant communities, fire, reseeding, livestock grazing), biological control agents, and herbicides. Contact Garfield County for the best available methods of control for the weeds on the property. Revegetation Successful weed control programs include a sizeable budget for revegetation of the area formerly occupied by noxious weeds. If revegetation is not part of the management plan, noxious weeds will proliferate rampantly. A healthy native vegetation community is better able to resist invasion by noxious weeds. Therefore, revegetation efforts need to use similar native plant species found in the area. Revegetation should also occur as soon as possible following treatment. If an area has been treated with herbicides, refer to the label on the herbicide to determine how soon after treatment reseeding is recommended (herbicides have varying residence time in the soils). Additionally, it is preferable to salvage topsoil to retain viable soil as well as a native seed bank. A suggested seed mix for the upland areas to be disturbed is: Furthermore, if herbicide treatment is expected to continue for a number of years or if soil is to remain bare for more than 30 days, it is recommended to seed mostly short-lived native perennial grasses mixed with a cover crop. Grasses will not be susceptible to most herbicides and will provide the competition to keep noxious weeds at bay.

An example of such a mix includes: Before disturbance or vegetation clearing occurs, it will be important to clear the area of noxious weeds to the best degree possible so that aggressive weed control is not required in newly planted areas, although some level of weed control will likely always be needed. Additionally, it may be in the best interest of the developer to disturb and revegetate areas within the property in a stepwise manner or in phases. A large area of caring for new seedlings and weed control can quickly become overwhelming. Necessary Immediate Actions Due to the orchid’s life-history characteristics, as well as varying annual environmental conditions and those effects on accurate population counts, it is extremely important to first get a good baseline estimate of the population size. At least two years (preferably three) of baseline population data is needed in order to make a relatively accurate count of the orchid. Last year, about 500 individuals were counted and the population was estimated at 700. A thorough count of the orchid should occur in early August of 2008, and transects should be established, marked, and counted using the rope-count method. The continuation of the present grazing regime, along with very selective and strategic noxious weed control, is recommended for this site.

Many of these recommendations are considered to be “best management practices” for wildlife, which would allow for continued wildlife use of areas within the development. 9.1 LIGHTING & GAME USE Because the area will likely receive use by mule deer and elk during the night, nighttime lighting of the property and excessive lighting of roads (beyond what is required for safe driving conditions) is not recommended. Further, lighting of existing Winter Range beyond the building envelope areas is strongly discouraged (for instance; from bright back-yard lights illuminating hay meadows or hillsides). Tall vegetation should be allowed or supplementally planted 10 feet off of roadsides in areas where headlights from vehicles illuminate Winter Range areas in order to minimize unintended “spotlighting” of foraging game at night. Determination of these areas would likely need to occur after the development is mostly complete. 9.2 ROADS Along the existing and new roads that would occur in this area, the following requirements should be followed: o Fences along the roads should not be allowed or should be wildlife-friendly. o Cut and/or fill slopes along the roads should be designed to facilitate wildlife movement; this includes using native plant materials that mimic local native vegetation species and distribution. o Large or extensive retaining walls (defined as slopes greater than 70°) should be minimized, or if needed, retaining walls exceeding 60 feet in length should have “steps” or other features to allow wildlife to cross the area if engineering allows such features. 9.3 FENCES In order to continue the effective use of the area by big game animals, fencing that would inhibit big game movement is strongly discouraged. Decorative fencing that is not designed to allow wildlife passage is strongly discouraged as well. Additionally, existing fencing that is not necessary for ranch operations should be removed as soon as possible. Fencing that is needed to keep pets and children adjacent to the houses are allowed (and encouraged), and will also keep neighboring livestock from using the property. Any fence types intended to keep pets or children adjacent to the homes are acceptable, other fences to delineate the subdivision should comply with the following specifications: o Fences should consist of two rails, with the upper rail 44 inches above the ground, and the top of the bottom rail 24 inches above the ground. This will allow adult TCI Lane Wildlife and Vegetation Assessment Report July 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC. 34 animals to easily jump over fences, even in deep snow, and will allow calves and fawns to crawl under or pass through the rails. o For barbed wire fences, middle wires can be smooth woven wire. The bottom wire should be at least 16” off the ground; 20” would be better, but this may be too high to keep cattle calves from crawling under. o Buck-and-rail fences are practically impossible for big game species to cross, and are therefore strongly discouraged. o Prior to construction, snow fencing or silt fencing should be erected at the edge of the building envelopes to contain disturbance to native vegetation by indirect construction activities (i.e. trampling of vegetation by equipment, etc.). o Any fences needed for livestock operations on the property, or to keep cattle from drifting onto the Monckton property, do not need to comply with the above wildlife standards. Areas where migrating elk cross the property and encounter fences should be assessed to determine if it is feasible to allow for wintertime removal (or laydown) of fence sections in order to facilitate elk migration. 9.4 LANDSCAPING AND REVEGETATION Because the area is used as winter range, reclamation of road cuts, infrastructure routes and open spaces should occur using similar native plant species and vegetation profiles. Revegetation should also occur as soon as possible; however, planting in the spring after big game have left the area would be best as newly planted materials would likely be browsed first, and plants with little time to set roots will likely be pulled up by grazing big game. Noxious weeds should be treated annually in order to minimize their spread and impact on winter range and increase the success of revegetation activities. 9.5 DOMESTIC DOGS Dogs can have a significant impact on wildlife and the ability for wildlife to effectively use otherwise-available habitats. Dogs can chase and kill wildlife, or so exhaust and injure wildlife that it dies later (B. Gray, CDOW pers. comm. 2008). Larger mammals such as deer and elk are especially vulnerable during the winter/early spring period, when their energy reserves are depleted, food resources are most limited, and most of the adult females are pregnant. Young wildlife are also vulnerable to attack and harassment by dogs. Even if not chased by dogs, wildlife tends to avoid areas where dogs are kept outside, which has the effect of creating a barrier to wildlife movement and reducing the available habitat. Domestic dogs, unless they are seeing-eye dogs, assistance dogs for the disabled, or ranch dogs, should be prohibited outside of residential areas and never be allowed to run free. As this area is big game Winter Range, it is inevitable that dogs allowed outside of fenced yards, even under leash control, will escape control, chase, and likely injure wildlife, especially during the winter months. To minimize the impacts of dogs on wildlife, the following recommendations are presented: o As required by Garfield County, dogs will be limited to one per dwelling unit (plus young up to 3 months old). This restriction should also apply to cats. TCI Lane Wildlife and Vegetation Assessment Report July 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC. 35 o Dogs should not be allowed outside of fenced yards unless under leash control. o Any fenced enclosures constructed for the overnight maintenance of dogs or cats should be within the building envelope. o Loose dogs should be prohibited. This includes dogs owned by contractors, subcontractors, delivery personnel, home owners and their guests. Loose or uncontrolled dogs can have a significant impact to big game through direct and indirect mortality, increased stress, and displacement from preferred ranges. Control of dogs is vital when living within elk and deer range. In the past, CDOW has had numerous reports of dogs, brought to construction sites by workers, which chase and harass wildlife. Due to the location of this property within sensitive wildlife habitat areas, construction workers should not be allowed to bring dogs on-site, especially during the winter months. Stray or loose dogs may be controlled by CDOW or Garfield County, which could include destruction of dogs chasing wildlife, as permitted by Colorado law. Under Colorado law, persons who are not in compliance with this dog policy may be responsible for any and all costs the CDOW or Garfield County may incur due to control of loose dogs on the property that are chasing wildlife. CDOW and County representatives may be granted access to the property to enforce any of the dog restrictions and other wildlife restrictions set within these recommendations. CDOW enforcement may include the capture or destruction of any dogs running at large on the property, regardless of where the dogs may have originated. 9.6 DOMESTIC CATS Domestic cats can have significant impacts on local breeding bird, small mammal, amphibian, and reptile populations in area habitats. Keeping cats indoors will protect a major component of the potential non-game wildlife use in the area. 9.7 IMPACTS TO LANDSCAPING As the property occurs within mule deer and elk Winter Ranges, there will be damage and use of the landscaping by foraging big game. The property owners should be informed of this and realize that CDOW does not provide game-damage reimbursement for damage to landscaping. 9.8 BEARS Black bears are not altogether common in the area; however, bears are attracted to riparian areas and will likely be seen. There are existing problems with bears, garbage, and people in Garfield County and some bears have shown signs of habituation and aggression towards residents. At this time, the TCI Lane area is not considered a “Bear/Human Conflict Area” by CDOW. The Gambel’s oak, serviceberry, and chokecherry stands in the area provide some black bear fall-foraging areas. With the residential setting, it is inevitable that garbage and food sources will become available to bears, and human/bear conflicts may occur. These conflicts, however, can be minimized by implementation of appropriate TCI Lane Wildlife and Vegetation Assessment Report July 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC. 36 mitigation measures. The following measures should be implemented to reduce potential bear problems, as provided by CDOW staff (P. Will, CDOW 2006–2008): o There should be no dumps that have edible materials associated with construction and post-construction activities. Construction workers and contractors should be notified and educated about the importance of keeping trash, food, and drink items properly disposed of to discourage bear activities in the area. o Residential garbage should be placed in bear-proof dumpsters, individual bear- proof trash containers, or kept in trash cans inside closed buildings. Trash cans should not be left outside overnight prior to trash collection, as bears quickly become habituated to these schedules. o Pets should not be fed outside. Bowls of pet food left around buildings will attract bears and other predators (e.g. coyotes or red fox) and nuisance species (e.g. skunks, raccoon, woodrats). o Bird feeders and hummingbird feeders need to be brought in during the evenings, and removed altogether during the fall months (September through late November). Catchment basins should be used underneath bird feeders to catch seed. Bears are known to visit bird-feeding sites where seeds have accumulated on the ground. o Nut, fruit, or berry-producing trees or shrubs should not be used in landscaping in order to minimize an attractant for bears around homes and developed areas. o Compost piles should be discouraged or prohibited. o Homeowners should be educated about bears and other local wildlife via a homeowner’s brochure, such as that produced by the CDOW. 9.9 BIRDS Many bird species utilize the area; therefore, the following recommendations are presented: o Pet cats should remain indoors, as cats will readily prey upon these species and can have a significant impact on bird use in the area and on bird populations. o Bird feeders are discouraged during spring, summer, and fall months due to the black bear use in the area. Bird feeders can be used in the winter (from mid- November through mid-March), as bears are hibernating during this time. o All bird feeders, including hummingbird feeders, should be hung away from any window or deck, be at least 10 feet from the ground, and be suspended between two trees or posts. Any seed feeders should have a seed catchment pan to catch discarded seed.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN ELK HIGHWAY CROSSING: Those areas where elk movements traditionally cross roads, presenting potential conflicts between elk and motorists. MIGRATION CORRIDORS: A specific Mappable site through which large numbers of animals migrate and loss of which would change migration routes. OVERALL RANGE: The area which encompasses all known seasonal activity areas within the observed range of an elk population. PRODUCTION AREA: That part of the overall range of elk occupied by the females from May 15 to June 15 for calving. (Only known areas are Mapped and this does not include all production areas for the DAU). RESIDENT POPULATION: An area used year-round by a population of elk. Individuals could be found in any part of the area at any time of the year; the area cannot be subdivided into seasonal ranges. It is most likely included within the overall range of the larger population. SEVERE WINTER: That part of the range of a species where 90 percent of the individuals are located when the annual snowpack is at its maximum and/or temperatures are at a minimum in the two worst winters out of ten. The winter of 1983- 84 is a good example of a severe winter. SUMMER CONCENTRATION: Those areas where elk concentrate from mid-June through mid-August. High quality forage, security, and lack of disturbance are characteristics of these areas to meet the high energy demands of lactation, calf rearing, antler growth, and general preparation for the rigors of fall and winter. SUMMER RANGE: That part of the range of a species where 90% of the individuals are located between spring green-up and the first heavy snowfall, or during a site specific period of summer as defined for each DAU. Summer range is not necessarily exclusive of winter range; in some areas winter range and summer range may overlap. WINTER CONCENTRATION: That part of the winter range of a species where densities are at least 200% greater than the surrounding winter range density during the same period used to define winter range in the average five winters out of ten. WINTER RANGE: That part of the overall range of a species where 90 percent of the individuals are located during the average five winters out of ten from the first heavy snowfall to spring green-up, or during a site specific period of winter as defined for each DAU. MULE DEER CONCENTRATION AREA: That part of the overall range where higher quality habitat supports significantly higher densities than surrounding areas. These areas are typically occupied year round and are not necessarily associated with a specific season. Includes rough break country, riparian areas, small drainages, and large areas of irrigated cropland. HIGHWAY CROSSING: Those areas where mule deer movements traditionally cross roads, presenting potential conflicts between mule deer and motorists. MIGRATION CORRIDORS: A specific Mappable site through which large numbers of animals migrate and loss of which would change migration routes. OVERALL RANGE: The area which encompasses all known seasonal activity areas within the observed range of a mule deer population. RESIDENT POPULATION: An area that provides year-round range for a population of mule deer. The resident mule deer use all of the area all year; it cannot be subdivided into seasonal ranges although it may be included within the overall range of the larger population. SEVERE WINTER: That part of the overall range where 90% of the individuals are located when the annual snowpack is at its maximum and/or temperatures are at a minimum in the two worst winters out of ten. SUMMER RANGE: That part of the overall range where 90% of the individuals are located between spring green-up and the first heavy snowfall. Summer range is not necessarily exclusive of winter range; in some areas winter range and summer range may overlap. WINTER CONCENTRATION: That part of the winter range where densities are at least 200% greater than the surrounding winter range density during the same period used to define winter range in the average five winters out of ten. TCI Lane Wildlife and Vegetation Assessment Report July 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC. 40 WINTER RANGE: That part of the overall range where 90 percent of the individuals are located during the average five winters out of ten from the first heavy snowfall to spring green-up, or during a site specific period of winter as defined for each DAU. BLACK BEAR FALL CONCENTRATION: That portion of the overall range occupied from August 15 until September 30 for the purpose of ingesting large quantities of mast and berries to establish fat reserves for the winter hibernation period. HUMAN CONFLICT: That portion of the overall range where two or more confirmed black bear complaints per season were received which resulted in CDOW investigation, damage to persons or property (cabins, tents, vehicles, etc), and/or the removal of the problem bear(s). This does not include damage caused by bears to livestock. OVERALL RANGE: The area which encompasses all known seasonal activity areas within the observed range of a population of black bear. SUMMER CONCENTRATION: That portion of the overall range of the species where activity is greater than the surrounding overall range during that period from June 15 to August 15.

SPIRANTHES ROPE COUNT – MATERIALS & METHODS MATERIALS: Clicker counters (10) Pencils Large clipboard Property and/or field maps Flagging tape Aerial photos Wire flags (30” long) Rubber irrigation boots F l a g q u i v e r 5 - m e t e r r o p e s e g m e n t s T a p e m e a s u r e S c i s s o r s D a t a s h e e t s METHODS: I. Rope Set-Up (See diagram below – Example given is for 5 people) A. Tie four 5-meter ropes together. (Use one less rope than number of people.) B. Hang a piece of flagging tape (about 2 feet long) from the center of each rope segment. C. Start in a corner of the monitored area and stretch the rope perpendicular to the direction of travel. It is best to start and end at a permanently marked point that can be relocated annually. D. Have a person hold each end of the rope, and one at each knot. Pull the rope tight. Rope Set-Up Diagram: A B C D E ┣---------------------┃---------------------┃-----------------------┃--------------------┫ ⌂ ⌂ ⌂ ⌂ ⇤2.5m ⇥⇤ 5m ⇥⇤ 5m ⇥⇤ 5m ⇥⇤ 2.5m ⇥ Key: A-E = People ---- = Rope segments ┣ = Rope end ┃ = Knot ⌂ = Flagging tape II. Surveying Protocol A. The purpose of the survey is to count flowering stalks of Spiranthes orchids. Volunteers and staff who are unfamiliar with the orchid should be trained on what the flowering stalks look like. This should include identifying stalks that are still in bud and those that may have finished blooming. All types of reproductive effort should be counted. TCI Lane Wildlife and Vegetation Assessment Report July 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC. 42 B. Fill out heading on data sheet. Include date, starting point and sketch of area (if possible), direction of travel, name and respective positions of each crew member along the rope. C. Make sure everyone on the line has a clicker counter and that it is zeroed out prior to each sweep. D. Designate one person as the record keeper to fill out the data sheets. E. The person at the end nearest the designated starting point (e.g. Person “A”) lines up with that point. This person follows the boundary and counts all individual flowering plants between the boundary and the flagging tape. “A” can, if they’re comfortable doing so, leave some distance between themselves and the boundary as long as they can accurately see and count all individuals in that area. Everyone except “E” should be counting an area of approximately 5 meters wide. F. Person “E” places a wire flag at the starting point and then places flags often enough so that adjacent flags are easily visible. These flags are marking the edge that the return sweep will follow. (More flags are needed in tall vegetation or rough terrain.) “E” makes sure that the rope is kept taut as the rope moves forward. The object is to monitor as rectangular of an area as possible. Like “A”, “E” monitors between the flagging tape and as far out from the edge of the rope as is comfortable and reasonable to place the flags in a relatively straight line. 1. Begin survey: • Everyone grabs a knot or end of the rope, holds the rope about waist level, then moves away from “A” until the rope is taut. Begin walking through the field, staying in a straight line. • Start out slowly to get used to the process, the habitat, and optimal walking speed. • While walking, counters survey and count the 2.5 meter area between the 2 pieces of flagging tape hanging on either side of them, about 5 meters total. Use clicker counters to count individual plants. • If a plant, or cluster of plants, is located near the flagging tape, communicate with the person on the other side of the flag to determine which of you will count that plant to make sure the plant is not missed or counted twice. Cooperation is essential. Don’t be shy about pointing out plants that another may have missed because they are sometimes very difficult to see depending on the surrounding vegetation and the lighting that day. • As “E” is placing flags, they may need to communicate to the rest of the line to pull the rope tighter, or change direction slightly to keep the dropped flag line as straight as possible. 2. End of first transect/pass: • When the crew reaches the end of the first pass, record the number of flowering stalks recorded on each persons clicker counter. Be sure to record the data in rows for each counter and columns for each pass. See sample diagram below and attached sample. • CLEAR ALL CLICKER COUNTERS! 3. Return pass: • After recording all data, there are two options. • One is to have “E” remain in position and everyone else moves down away from “E” until the rope is taut again. This means that “E” would be TCI Lane Wildlife and Vegetation Assessment Report July 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC. 43 picking up the flags that they put down on the first pass, and “A” would drop flags on the second pass. • The other option is to shift the entire crew down so that “A” ends up in the exact position that “E” ended. This means that “A” would pick up the flags that “E” dropped, and “E” would drop flags again on the second pass. • Using either method, continue surveying until the designated has been covered. Be sure to clear clicker counters before starting a new pass. • “A” and “E” may need to keep each other supplied with flags. SAMPLE DATA SHEET AND SURVEY SET-UP Example: The first pass starts at the NW corner of field 264, the Mann property, with “A” on the west end of the rope and “E” on the east end, and moves from north to south. Record the number of individual flowering stalks found in the columns below at the end of each pass.

NEPA••WILDLIFE••VEGETATION••WILDFIRE MITIGATION••WETLANDS••PLANNING TCI- Lane Wetland Determination Report November 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC 2 Wetland Determination for TCI-Lane Property Garfield County, Colorado Summary A wetland determination was conducted for the TCI-Lane Property in Garfield County, Colorado on July 25, 26, 31, and August 1 and 5, 2007 on behalf of the property owner’s representatives, Noble Design Studio. The TCI-Lane property is approximately 100 acres. The wetlands delineation was conducted following technical guidelines set forth in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Interim Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Region. The Corps regulates dredging or filling activities within waters of the United States (Waters of the U.S.), which include rivers, creeks, ditches, and wetlands under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Prior to and during field work, Rocky Mountain Ecological Services, Inc. (RMES) reviewed various resources to assist in identifying Waters of the U.S., beyond wetland areas located on the property. These resources included aerial photographs, topographic and soils maps, and other environmental resources. Based on field identification and verification of areas that exhibited the three wetland indicators (hydric soils, hydrology, and wetland vegetation), RMES flagged, sequentially numbered the flags, and recorded these areas on maps using a sub-meter global positioning system (GPS). Field data and GPS data were used in ArcView 9.0 GIS to determine approximate acreages. The project area occurs within the Roaring Fork drainage, and wetlands are adjacent and connected to the Roaring Fork via Blue Creek (called “Middle Ditch” in water rights documents). The property owners and their representatives are proposing the development of an 89-unit residential subdivision on the property. Additionally, as part of the development, riparian enhancements will improve the function and aesthetics of Blue Creek. Construction of ponds for potential wetlands mitigation and aesthetics are also proposed. The property is currently used as a winter pasture for cows, with spring calving operations. Cows and calves are pulled off of the property in late April, and return to the property in late October. The property extends from Old Highway 82 down to the Roaring Fork River. Upland areas at the northern end of the property are dominated by agricultural grasses and forbs, including timothy (Phleum pratense), alfalfa (Medigaco sativa), redtop (Agrostis stolonifera), meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis), and clover (Trifolium pratense). Remnant native species include Gambel’s oak (Quercus gambelii) and sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. pauciflora) and weeds such as plumeless thistle (Carduus acanthoides), absinth wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) and Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense). TCI- Lane Wetland Determination Report November 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC 3 The middle of the property has a cottonwood stand dominating the vegetation. This cottonwood stand is likely in place due to irrigation waters. Within the cottonwood stand lies the old ranch infrastructure, including a ranch manager’s house and three other currently occupied ranch houses, as well as barns, sheds, corrals, and other ranch infrastructure. Blue Creek ditch (referred to as the Middle Ditch in water rights documents) passes east to west through the property, and provides significant surface and likely subsurface waters to the property. Blue Creek has previously been considered a Water of the U.S. in other 404 permitting processes (M. Gilfillan, ACOE pers. comm. 2007 and 2008). Blue Creek runs year-round, and has no head-gates or other infrastructure on the property to regulate flows at this time. Various laterals come off of Blue Creek and irrigate surrounding bottomlands. Vegetation in this area is dominated by wet meadows and cottonwood bottomlands. The wet meadows are dominated by mannagrass (Glyceria grandis), redtop, meadow fescue, Baltic rush (Juncus balticus), beaked sedge (Carex utriculata), and other carices. Other forbs and noxious weeds (namely Canada thistle) are present, but in smaller quantities. The cottonwood bottomlands have a mature cottonwood (Populus angustifolia) overstory with a sub-canopy of silverberry (Sheperdia argentea) and intermittent Utah juniper (Sabina osteosperma), ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa), and Russian-olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia). Understory species vary from upland to wetland grasses and forbs, depending on location on the property. Along the Roaring Fork River, a steep bank limits the extent of wetlands. Banks of the river are dominated by coyote willow (Salix exigua), river birch (Betula fontinalis), narrowleaf cottonwood (Populus angustifolia) and mountain alder (Alnus tenuifolia). Three main ditches provide water, and in some cases wetland hydrology, to the property. The northern ditch (which is a lateral off of the Basin Ditch) irrigates the upper pastures. Blue Creek and its laterals irrigate the lower bench, and the Lower Ditch passes through the property to the west onto other private lands. The Lower Ditch has a large head-gate near the Roaring Fork River to regulate water delivery. A total of approximately 9.44 acres of Jurisdictional Wetlands were identified, with other areas on the upper bench irrigated, but irrigation tail waters failed to have direct connectivity to Waters of the U.S. Jon Fredericks (pers. comm. 2007) indicated that the irrigation ditch on the upper bench is intermittently shut off, and that the pastures completely dry up during the later summer months. The Federal Clean Water Act, Section 404, authorizes the Corps, specifically the Chief of Engineers, to issue permits for the discharge of dredged or fill materials into navigable Waters of the U.S. This permitting process is overseen by the Environmental Protection Agency and is reviewed by the Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service. This permit requires that the limits of wetlands be identified and delineated. The resulting wetlands are referred to as jurisdictional wetlands and are regulated under Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act. The determination of navigability is left entirely to the Corps. TCI- Lane Wetland Determination Report November 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC 4 Figure 1: TCI Property Location TCI- Lane Wetland Determination Report November 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC 5 Project Information Noble Design Studios and their clients are proposing to develop the property for residential housing. The current proposal includes 89 units, with associated roads and infrastructure. The 89 homes are to be constructed off-site, and brought in as sections. This will reduce construction traffic, keep construction costs down, and ensure higher energy efficiency standards for the homes (J. Fredericks, Noble Design Studio, pers. comm. 2007-2008). Approximately 20 to 30 units will be constructed (and sold) per year. Additional amenities include a Community Garden, a foot bridge over the Roaring Fork River to link with the Rio Grande Trail, a dog park, and playgrounds. Mr. Jon Fredericks of Noble Design Studio requested that RMES delineate a wetland boundary on the property in anticipation of submitting a permit application for compliance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. RMES will be preparing the 404 application for ACOE review after the Jurisdictional Determination is approved by the ACOE.

The area is within the Carbondale USGS Topographic Quadrangle. TCI- Lane Wetland Determination Report November 2008 6 Upper Bench Area Lower Bench Area TCI- Lane Wetland Determination Report November 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC 7 METHODS Wetland Determinations Wetland Determinations were performed as outlined in the 2006 Interim Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Region. The wetlands on the site are hydrologically connected to Blue Creek and the Roaring Fork River, both of which are perennially flowing streams immediately upstream of the Colorado River. The wetlands associated with the bottomlands along the Roaring Fork River are hydrogeomorphically classed as Riverine Wetlands, with Riverine Subclass designations of 3 and 4 (middle-elevation reaches of small and mid-order streams, dominated by tall shrubs and trees). • Vegetation: Vegetation was sampled throughout the site and in vicinity of the sample points. An attempt was made to identify all dominant species, and species were listed in order of dominance. A wetland indicator status for each species was determined using the National List of Plant Species that Occur in Wetlands: Intermountain (Region 8) (USFWS, 1988), and if the species was not addressed in that report, then the National Hydric Plant List was referenced. Cover for each species was estimated to the nearest percent to determine dominance. • Soils: Soil pits were dug in wetlands and non-wetlands at each site and inspected for hydric characteristics. Hydric characteristics included saturated soils and standing water in soil pits among other indicators. Mottling and sulphidic odors were observed. Soils in this area are described as (Soil Conservation Service 1981): o Atencio-Azeltine complex, 3–6% slopes. This soil type is found on alluvial fans and terraces, and is generally comprised of 60% Atencio sandy loam and 30% Azeltine gravelly sandy loam. Included in this soil type are small areas of finer-textured material. The soil type is deep and well-drained; it formed in alluvium derived dominantly from sandstone and shale. Typically the surface layer is reddish-gray gravelly/sandy loams about six inches thick, and the lower layers are various combinations of sandy and gravelly to very gravelly sandy loams. In some areas the surface layer can be cobbly loam or sandy loam. To a depth of 60 inches is very gravelly sand. This soil type dominates the northern half of the property. o Redrob loam, 1–6% slopes. These are deep, somewhat poorly drained soils on alluvial valley floors, low terraces, and floodplains, formed in mixed alluvium derived dominantly from sandstone and shale. Typically the surface layer is dark grayish-brown loam about 14 inches thick, the next layer is stratified stony loam about six inches thick, and the substratum to a depth of 60 inches is stony and very cobbly loamy sand and sand. The TCI- Lane Wetland Determination Report November 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC 8 high water table is at a depth of 18–48 inches. This soil type is found on the lower bench, occupying the southwest corner of the property. o Fluvaquents, 0–10% slopes. This broadly defined unit consists of deep, somewhat poorly drained, nearly level soils on flood plains and alluvial valley floors. These soils formed in alluvium. Fluvaquents are stratified and vary widely in texture and in depth to sand, gravel, and cobbles. Typically the surface layer ranges from loamy sand to fine sandy loam or from silt loam to clay loam. The underlying layers are generally sandy loam or loam stratified with sand, gravel, and cobbles. The water table fluctuates between 0.5–2.0 feet during spring and summer, when these soils can be occasionally flooded for brief periods. This soil type was found immediately adjacent to the Roaring Fork River along the southeast corner of the property. • Hydrology: The site was traversed making observations for hydrologic characteristics. These characteristics were generally driven by the Blue Creek wetland complex. Blue Creek is a 6–10 foot wide ditch, spreading out into a marsh/swamp complex hundreds of feet wide at the western end of the property. Various fingers of standing waters branched out from this complex. Along the toe of the middle bench, ground waters assumed to be from the leaking northern ditches surfaced, providing seep and spring-type hydrology. Even after ditches on the northern end of the property were shut off, hydrology still persisted south of the bench. Hydrology along the Roaring Fork River was confined due to steep river banks. As all of these waters eventually drained into the Roaring Fork River, and then the Colorado River, it was assumed that these waters would generally be considered Waters of the U.S. Wetland and upland communities were classified based on dominant vegetation characteristics. A field copy of the Arid Land Wetland Determination Data Form was completed for each sample point. This form recorded the vegetation, soil, and hydrologic measurements and observations. Latin plant names were used throughout. Based on the information recorded in the Data Forms, each community that met all three wetland criteria was established as a wetland. Many areas had wetland hydrology and soils but had marginal wetland vegetation development; this is likely due to the grazing pressure in some areas of the property. For the most part, delineation of wetlands in this area was a bit challenging due to the gentle gradients, and the broad wetland interface zones which had mixed wetland characteristics. Within the more interior wetland areas, native plant diversity and wetland function was extremely high, providing very unique wetland characteristics for the greater Roaring Fork Valley. Indeed, Rick Lofaro (Director of the Roaring Fork Conservancy) commented that the wetlands along the Blue Creek system on the property are some of the most unique and extensive emergent wetlands he has observed in the Roaring Fork and Crystal River Valleys (R. Lofaro, pers. comm. 1/7/2008). TCI- Lane Wetland Determination Report November 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC 9 The borders of the wetlands were logged with a Trimble GeoXT GPS (sub-meter accuracy) and marked with pink wire flags and flagging with “Wetland Boundary” printed on them. Flagging was also surveyed by Sopris Engineering. Sample points were also logged with a GPS unit, and numbered. Base maps were drafted in ArcMap 9.0 that indicated the project area, data collection locations, jurisdictional wetlands, and non-wetlands. TCI- Lane Wetland Determination Report November 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC 10 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Upland Gambel’s Oak/Meadow Community—(Non Wetlands) Vegetation: This site is dominated by Gambel’s oak (Quercus gambelii – UPL), meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis—FACU), alfalfa (Medicago sativa—NI), redtop (Agrostis stolonifera—FACW), and bluegrass (Poa pratensis—FACU) with remnant patches of sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata—FACU). Other weedy and ruderal species occur in these upland areas as well. At the western end, coyote willows (Salix exigua-FACW) and Baltic rush (Juncus balticus- FACW) occurred near other ditch systems, but when the lateral ditches were shut off, water does not flow to these sites (J. Fredericks, pers. comm. 2007). Further, irrigation tail waters do not flow into Blue Creek, and adjacency to Waters of the U.S. was not apparent. Soils: The soils in this area were typed by the National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) as Atencio-Azeltine sandy/gravelly loams, but the author observed a higher percentage of cobble than described. These soils are well-drained soils on fans and valley bottomlands. The soil is formed from alluvium derived from sandstone and shales. No concretions were detected, nor did the soils have any sulphidic odors. It is likely that if a soil pit was dug in some of the depressions, mottling would be detected. Hydrology: J. Fredericks (pers. comm. 2007) indicated that irrigation ditches on the upper bench were intermittently shut off, and that the site completely dried up during the times when the ditch was shut off. During the delineation, the ditches were flowing, and overland flow of water was observed. Tailwaters from the irrigation evidently do not reach the Blue Creek system, and were therefore not adjacent to Waters of the U.S. Determination: The Upland Gambel’s Oak/Meadow Community had pockets of hydrophitic vegetation associated with irrigation waters. However the ditches could be turned off, and tailwaters appeared to not reach Waters of the US during the delineation, therefore the potential wetland sites on the upper bench are not jurisdictional wetlands. Cow Pasture Wet Meadows— (Non-Wetlands) Seeps and springs emerge along the toe of a slope, and collect to form a wetland area. Waters are likely from an upland ditch at the top of the slope. This ditch was running through the spring and early Photo of Cow Pasture wetlands in 2007, looking north TCI- Lane Wetland Determination Report November 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC 11 summer, and likely charged groundwater sources for the spring complex. In 2008, the upper ditch was turned off in order to ascertain if hydrology for this area was indeed supported by irrigation waters. During the summer of 2008, staff from Noble Design Studio, Mark Gilfillan (US Army Corps of Engineers) and Eric Petterson visited the site and verified that indeed the ground waters supporting the wetland hydrology in 2007 had dried up with turning off this ditch. Vegetation: the site was dominated (>80% cover) by pinkweed (Persicaria pensylvanica [Polygonum persicaria]—OBL), with minor (<5% cover each) of redtop (Agrostis stolonifera—FACW), creeping spikerush (Eleocharis macrostachya [E. palustris] —OBL), Nebraska sedge (Carex nebrascensis—OBL), and common plantain (Plantago major— FAC). Along the transition to upland habitats, the pinkweed transitioned into an impressive stand of goosefoot (Chenopodium berlandieri—UPL). The site was dominated by hydric plants, thus meeting the requirement for hydrophitic vegetation. Soils: The soils in this area were typed by the NRCS as Atencio/Azeltine complex, but seemed to trend more towards Redrob cobbly loams. Within these wetlands, saturation was within six inches of the surface, and standing water in the test pit was within eight inches of the surface. Mottling was light, and sulphidic odors were present. Hydrology: Hydrology for the site is from springs and seeps at the toe of a bench. During 2007, when the first wetland delineation effort occurred, the site supported significant hydrological features. Per the USACOE, the ditches on the upper benches were shut off for the 2008 season to determine whether this groundwater hydrology was supported by the irrigation ditches. Ditches were shut off during the winter of 2008. A site review was conducted with Mark Gillfilan, Regulatory Biologist from the US Army Corps of Engineers on June 19, 2008 at which time we investigated site hydrology since the ditches were shut off. The site was dry, proving that the ditches on the upper bench were indeed supporting the groundwater hydrology in this area. There was only one small area which continued to support seep-related hydrology, and this site was delineated as a jurisdictional wetland at that time, and is reflected in this report. Pisometers were also installed in 2007, which, in 2008 also proved that groundwater hydrology was greatly reduced after shutting off the upper bench ditches. Determination: The Cow Pasture Wetlands had hydrophitic vegetation, hydric soils, but does not support wetland hydrology, leading to a determination that the site is not a jurisdictional wetland. Cow Pasture Uplands—(Non-Wetlands) Vegetation: the site was dominated (>95% cover) by goosefoot (Chenopodium berlandieri- UPL), with insignificant amounts of annual barley (Hordeum vulgare—NI). The site was dominated by upland plants and thus failed to meet the requirements for hydrophitic vegetation. Soils: The soils in this area were typed by the NRCS as Atencio/Azeltine complex, but seemed to trend more towards Redrob cobbly loams. Within these uplands, no TCI- Lane Wetland Determination Report November 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC 12 saturation was detected within 12 inches of the surface. Mottling was very light, and sulphidic odors were limited to areas adjacent to the Cow Pasture wet meadows. Hydrology: Hydrology for the site appeared to occur in some swale areas, and some areas even had channels (see aerial photo). However, pits did not have saturation within 12 inches of the surface during the delineation period. Determination: The Cow Pasture Uplands were primarily determined by the dominance of goosefoot, with some margins of the upland areas showing evidence of possible hydrology and hydric soils. Without the vegetation parameter, however, these areas were determined to be uplands. Blue Creek Complex—(Wetlands) Blue Creek is a perennial ditch that is hydrologically connected to the Roaring Fork River system and likely has influence from area ground water. This ditch system is very old (likely close to 100 years), and supports a diverse array of wetlands. Vegetation: the site was dominated (>30% cover) by mannagrass (Glyceria grandis—OBL), bittercress (Cardamine cordifolia—OBL), canarygrass (Phalaroides arundinacea—OBL), and interestingly, jewelweed (Impatiens capensis— FACW) and bittersweet nightshade (Solanum dulcamara—FAC). Another species of note was Ute ladies-tresses orchid (Spiranthes diluvialis) which is listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as Threatened. The site had an abundance of hydrophitic vegetation. There were many variations of wetlands within this complex, with riparian wetlands and emergent wetlands, and backwater sloughs. Soils: The soils in this area were typed by the NRCS and confirmed as Redrob cobbly loams. Within these wetlands, soils were generally saturated and surface waters were common. Along the wetland gradient, saturation and standing water gradually dropped out of the bottom of test pits. Mottling was light, and sulphidic odors were present. The site had an abundance of hydric soil indicators. Hydrology: Hydrology for the site is generally assumed to be from Blue Creek and associated lateral ditches; however, some subsurface hydrology from the Roaring Fork River system is likely. The site had an abundance of wetland hydrologic indicators. Photo of Blue Creek TCI- Lane Wetland Determination Report November 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC 13 Determination: The Blue Creek Complex had hydrophitic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology, leading to a determination that the site was a jurisdictional wetland. Cottonwood Forests (Non-Wetlands) Between the Blue Creek complex and the Roaring Fork River, and around Blue Creek and some ditches, narrowleaf cottonwoods formed a mature forested vegetation type with an understory dominated by silverberry and hawthorn. Vegetation: narrowleaf cottonwoods (Populus angustifolia – FACW*) formed a mature forested vegetation type. The understory had significant amounts of silverberry (Shepherdia argentea—FACU), hawthorn (Crataegus rivularis [douglasii]—FAC), (C. erythropoda—FACU), and lesser amounts of Utah juniper (Sabina osteosperma—UPL), meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis—FACU), and skunkbush (Rhus trilobata- UPL. Soils: The soils in this area were typed by the NRCS and confirmed as Redrob sandy/cobbly loams. Within this area, soils were generally dry, with no saturation within 12 inches of the surface. The site failed to have hydric soil indicators. Hydrology: Potential hydrology for the site is generally assumed to be from Blue Creek and associated lateral ditches; however, some subsurface hydrology from the Roaring Fork River system is likely. The site failed to have primary or secondary hydrologic indicators. Determination: The cottonwood forest type failed to support hydrophitic vegetation, hydric soils, or hydrology, and therefore the site is considered to be a non-wetland. Lower Meadows—(Non-Wetlands) The Lower Meadows area refers to irrigated meadows south of Blue Creek. These meadows support mesic agricultural cultivar and native plant species. The meadow system does have some hydrophitic vegetation, but the quantity does not pass the FAC- Neutral test. Further, hydrologic indicators were absent from the site. Some mottling was observed in soils. Bisecting the southern Lower Meadow, an small lateral irrigation ditch flows year-round, and is connected to the Blue Creek wetlands complex; it was therefore delineated as jurisdictional. Vegetation: the site was dominated (50% cover) by meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis- FACU), redtop (Agrostis stolonifera—FACW), perennial sow thistle (Sonchus arvensis- FACU), red clover (Trifolium pratense—FACU), Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense—NI), and aster (Aster lanceolatus subsp. hesperius—OBL). Soils: The soils in this area were typed by the NRCS and confirmed as Redrob gravelly to cobbly loams. Mottling was very light and intermittent. Saturation was below 12 inches. No sulphidic odors were detected. Hydrology: Hydrologic indicators were absent from the site. TCI- Lane Wetland Determination Report November 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC 14 Determination: The Lower Meadows area failed to have hydrophitic vegetation, did have some areas of hydric soils, and failed to have wetland hydrology, leading to a determination that the site was a non-wetland. Roaring Fork River – (Wetlands) The Roaring Fork River forms the southern boundary of the property. This large fifth- order river likely provides significant ground water hydrology to the area, but steep banks limited the extent of wetlands along its banks. Only areas that may have potential impacts from the development were delineated, and therefore the extent of wetlands is greater than what is depicted on the wetland maps. Vegetation: The site was dominated (40% cover) by coyote willow (Salix exigua- OBL), Rocky Mountain willow (Salix monticola – OBL), canarygrass (Phalaroides arundinacea – OBL), narrowleaf cottonwood (Populus angustifolia – FACW*), and dogwood (Swida sericea – FACW). Other species include river birch (Betula fontinalis- FACW) and Rocky Mountain maple (Acer glabrum- FACU). Soils: The soils in this area were typed by the NRCS and confirmed as Fluvaquents. Within this broad soil type, most soils in the area were very cobbly sands and gravel loams. Soils were generally only saturated near the edge of the river water. No mottling or sulphidic odors were detected, likely based on disturbance to the site from wave action, and seasonal flooding. Hydrology: Hydrology for the site was obvious from the river, with exposed roots and debris (drift) lines the primary indicators for high-water marks. The site had an abundance of wetland hydrologic indicators. Determination: The Roaring Fork River system had hydrophitic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology, leading to a determination that the site was a wetland. Results of Pisometers Due to the amount of irrigation waters in the area, it was necessary to determine which wetland areas were the result of anthropogenic influences, and therefore non-jurisdictional. During initial delineation efforts on July 25 and 26, ground waters within the Cow Pasture area were within 12 inches of the surface. On August 17, eight pisometers were installed on the property (see map below in Appendix I). Pisometers were drilled to Installation of pisometers TCI- Lane Wetland Determination Report November 2008 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC 15 approximately 4–6 feet deep (depending on subsurface rocks). Perforated PVC pipes were wrapped with silt-fabric and sunk into holes. At the interface with the soil surface, a layer of bentonite clay was poured around the PVC pipe to prevent surface waters from flowing down between the pipe and surrounding soils. Initial readings on ground water levels were taken on August 17 immediately after the wells were drilled. Water levels were already well below 12 inches on all pisometers. Pisometers were checked again on August 29, and depth to ground water was still well below 12 inches. The author concluded that even though the ditches on the northern end of the property likely contributed to ground water levels in the area, the summertime subsidence of ground water levels is the driving hydrologic source for wetland hydrology in the Cow Pasture wetland site. This further supported the determination that these wetlands are jurisdictional in nature. Pisometers will be left in place for other potential uses. CONCLUSION The vegetation, soil, and hydrologic data gathered in this survey determined that wetlands occurred within the Blue Creek area, and that hydrological surface connectivity to Waters of the U.S. was present. Blue Creek is considered to be a Water of the U.S. (ACOE 2007). The broad, varied wetland regimes and extent of the wetlands made delineation difficult. Various lateral ditches were determined to be jurisdictional wetlands due to the lack of ability to shut them off and allow anthropogenic waters to dry up. The borders of the wetlands were logged with a Trimble GeoXT and marked with pink wire flags and flagging with “Wetlands Boundary” printed on them. Final authority in determining the actuality of a wetland and the allowance of wetland alterations rests with the various interested government agencies.

The analysis includes impacts for the projected buildout Year 2009 and long- range planning Year 2030. 1.1 Project Description TCI Lane Ranch is a proposed 100.5-acre development located within unincorporated Garfield County. The site is located east of Carbondale, CO along the State Highway 82 Frontage Road. It is bounded by existing residential development to the east, the State Highway 82 Frontage Road to the north and existing residential development to the west. This development has an anticipated build out year of 2009. This 100.5-acre parcel consists of several existing residential units. Upon redevelopment, the property is anticipated to consist of 71 single family dwelling units and 18 residential attached dwelling units. A detailed site plan of the proposed TCI Lane Ranch Redevelopment is illustrated in Figure 1. The proposed access to this property would be via two direct access points to the State Highway 82 Frontage Road. This property currently has a single access to the Frontage Road, which is anticipated to be relocated as part of this development.

SH 82 Frontage Road has a posted speed limit of 45 mph in the vicinity of this development. Approaching the intersections with both County Road 100 and Valley Road, the posted speed limit drops to 35 mph. This roadway is classified as F-R, Frontage Road. State Highway 82: S H 8 2 i s a f o u r - l a n e , highway in the vicinity of the project that connects Glenwood Springs to Aspen via the Roaring Fork Valley. It is classified by the State as an Expressway (E-X). It has a posted 65 mph speed limit west of Valley Road and a 55 mph speed limit east of Valley Road. County Road 100: County Road 100 (Catherine Store Road) provides a connection between State Highway 82 and Main Street within Carbondale. The County Road 100 intersection is located at the SH 82 milepost 15.54. The posted speed limit in the vicinity of the proposed development is 30 mph. TCI Lane Ranch, E5875 Page H:\E5875\Reports\Traffic\Revised 2008-8-13\E5875 TIS.doc September, 2008 6 Valley Road: This two-lane road serves as a connection between the Frontage Road and State Highway 82 to the east of the proposed development. It also provides an additional connection to the community of El Jebel. It is classified by Eagle County as a Residential Collector. The posted speed limit on this roadway is 25 mph. Transit: This area is served by the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority, which operates a route running between Aspen and Glenwood Springs along State Highway 82. The up-valley route parking and bus stop is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of CR 100 and SH 82. The down- valley stop is located at the northeast corner of the same intersection. 1.3 Existing Traffic Volumes Per conversation with CDOT Region 3 staff, existing traffic counts were taken at three locations during the weekday morning (7:00-9:00 am) and evening (4:00-6:00 pm) peak hours. These counts were taken on Thursday, May 29, 2008. Turning movement counts were taken at the following intersections: • State Highway 82 / County Road 100 • State Highway 82 Frontage Road / County Road • State Highway 82 Frontage Road / Valley Road The peak hour turning movement count for these three intersections can be seen in Figure 2. Complete reports of the two-hour counts can be seen in the Appendix. As there are limited traffic generators between the intersection of the SH 82 Frontage Road/CR 100 and the proposed site accesses, the traffic volumes using the Frontage Road leg of this intersection were used as the basis for the background volumes at the proposed site accesses.

These are anticipated to be demolished as part of this development. Per ITE’s Trip Generation Manual, 7th Edition, the previous use is estimated to have generated 29 trips during the average weekday. During the morning peak hour, these homes are estimated to generate 2 outbound trips and 1 inbound trip. During the evening peak hour, the existing site is expected to generate 2 inbound trips and 1 outbound trip. 2.2 Proposed Land Use The anticipated land use for the redeveloped property includes 71 Residential Single-Family units (Land Use Code #210) and 18 Residential Townhome/Condominium units (Land Use Code #230). Upon development, TCI Lane Ranch is anticipated to generate a total of 784 trips during the average weekday. During the morning peak hour, this redevelopment is expected to generate 14 inbound trips and 47 outbound trips. The evening peak hour would generate a total of 51 inbound trips and 30 outbound trips. When the previous land use is considered, this development is expected to generate a total of 764 new average weekday trips. This includes 13 inbound and 45 outbound trips during the morning peak hour. The evening peak hour would add an estimated 49 inbound and 29 outbound trips. Please refer to Table 1 for the trip generation estimate for both the previous and anticipated land uses for the subject property. The estimated change in trip generation is also detailed.

With two site accesses for the project, it is anticipated that 45% of the outbound traffic will utilize the western site access and 55% will use the eastern site access. This percentile distribution is shown in Figure 3. When the estimated trip generation is applied to the percentile distribution, the assigned project- generated traffic can be determined. This assigned project-generated traffic can be seen in Figure 4.

From this website, the historical 2.12% growth rate for westbound and eastbound through traffic was applied. Similarly, this growth rate was also applied to existing background traffic on County Road 100 and Valley Road. The area immediately to the west of the proposed TCI Lane Ranch development has recently been developed. This development accesses the public roadway system via County Road 100. To the east of TCI Lane Ranch, further development of the land is limited due to the proximity of the Roaring Fork River and existing small parcel size. Due to this, the growth rate along the SH 82 Frontage Road was assumed to be 0.50%. Year 2009 peak hour background traffic volumes can be seen in Figure 5. Year 2030 peak hour background traffic volumes can be seen in Figure 6.

SYNCHRO is traffic analysis software that utilizes the Highway Capacity Manual, 2000 (HCM) methodology. The results are reported as Levels of Service (LOS), and can range from LOS A (little or no delay) to LOS F (extreme delay). Level of Service definitions per the Highway Capacity Manual, 2000 can be found below: SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION Level of Control Delay Service Interpretation (sec/veh) A Progress is extremely favorable and most vehicles arrive during <=10 the green phase. Most vehicles do not stop at all. Short cycle lengths may contribute to low delay. B Good progression, short cycle lengths, or both. More vehicles >10 and <=20 vehicles stop than with LOS A. C Fair progression, long cycle lengths, or both. The number of >20 and <=35 D Longer delays result from some combination of unfavorable >35 and <=55 progression, long cycle length, or high v/c ratios. Many stop. E High delay values generally indicate poor progression, long >55 and <=80 cycle length, and high v/c ratios. Individual cycle failures are frequent occurrences. F This level often occurs with over saturation when arrival flow >80 rates exceed the capacity of the intersection. Poor progression and long cycle lengths may be major contributing factors to such delay levels. STOP-CONTROLLED INTERSECTION LOS Expected Delay to Minor Street Traffic Average Control Delay (s/veh) A Little or no delay. 0-10 B Short traffic delays. >10-15 C Average traffic delays. >15-25 D Long traffic delays. >25-35 E Very long traffic delays. >35-50 F When volume exceeds the capacity of the lane, extreme delays will be encountered with >50 queuing that may cause severe congestion affecting other traffic movements in the intersection. This condition usually warrants improving the intersection. TCI Lane Ranch, E5875 Page H:\E5875\Reports\Traffic\Revised 2008-8-13\E5875 TIS.doc September, 2008 20 Level of Service calculations were performed for the following intersections: • SH 82 and CR 100 (Catherine Store Road) • CR 100 and SH 82 Frontage Road • West Site Access • East Site Access • Valley Road and SH 82 Frontage Road Level of Service analyses included peak-hour periods for Years 2009 and Year 2030 background and total traffic. 6.1 Levels of Service SH 82 and CR 100: A request was made to CDOT for the signal timing plan for the intersection of State Highway 82 and County Road 100 and can be seen in the Appendix. This signal operates under fully-actuated conditions. Under the current timing plan, the intersection is currently projected to operate at an overall LOS D during the evening peak hour and LOS D during the morning peak hour. Using all observed traffic within the model, the delay for the northbound approach is currently estimated to be 110 seconds. However, HCM methodologies do not directly account for right turns on red (RTOR) and assume that all right turns are made when the movement is green. To account for RTOR, the percentage of time that the movement shows red was calculated. Conservatively, half of the vehicles anticipated to arrive during the red phase were assumed to be able to make the turn during the red phase. This equates to a reduction of 40% of total northbound right traffic. Even removing 40% of northbound right turning vehicles from the analysis still leaves the northbound approach operating at LOS E during the morning peak hour under background conditions. This movement experiences LOS D under all analyzed Year 2009 evening conditions. A northbound right turn lane would alleviate problems with the morning peak hour, under both Year 2009 background and total conditions. The northbound right movement already has an acceleration lane on State Highway 82, and if properly designed, could provide free movement conditions for turning vehicles. Adding this right turn lane is projected to restore the northbound movement to LOS C and improve the overall delay for the intersection from 41 seconds to 19 seconds under Year 2009 evening total conditions. Under total morning TCI Lane Ranch, E5875 Page H:\E5875\Reports\Traffic\Revised 2008-8-13\E5875 TIS.doc September, 2008 21 conditions, overall intersection delay would decrease from 32 seconds to 16 seconds. Using projected background volumes, it is not anticipated that this intersection will function satisfactorily in Year 2030 without the addition of a third through lane on State Highway 82, with or without project-generated traffic. With the addition of the third through lane in each direction of and a second westbound left turn lane/receiving lane, this intersection would be expected to operate at LOS C, with or without project generated traffic, during both the peak hours analyzed. CR 100 and SH 82 Frontage Road: HCM methodologies calculate Level of Service for the stop-controlled east and westbound approaches. In Year 2009, both approaches are anticipated to operate at LOS C or better. Project generated traffic is not expected to add more than three seconds of average delay to either approach. By Year 2030, both approaches are projected to operate unacceptably during the evening peak hour under background conditions. The addition of a left turn lane to the westbound movement would restore LOS D to this approach under background conditions. While the Level of Service would still be projected to be LOS E under total conditions, average delay would be within 3 seconds of restoring LOS D (38 sec versus 35 seconds). West Site Access to SH 82 Frontage Road: This proposed northbound stop- controlled approach is anticipated to operate at Level of Service A through the long-term planning horizon. East Site Access to SH 82 Frontage Road: This proposed northbound stop- controlled approach is anticipated to operate at Level of Service A through the long-term planning horizon. Valley Road and SH 82 Frontage Road: The eastbound approach for this intersection is expected to operate at a Level of Service A through the long- term planning horizon. Table 2 summarizes the calculated Level of Service for each analyzed intersection and traffic condition.

This access is expected to be moved as a result of project development. As TCI Lane Ranch is anticipated to add an additional 410 trips to the relocated access point, it is anticipated that a revised CDOT access permit is required for this access. The project is also anticipating the construction of a second access to the frontage road, which is expected to have average weekday volume of approximately 360 trips. This requires a new CDOT access permit. These applications have been submitted for and were approved by CDOT on July 31, 2008. (Permits 308134 and 308135) 7.2 Site Access Auxiliary Turn Lanes The State Highway 82 Frontage Road is classified by CDOT as F-R, Frontage Road. Given that the posted speed limit on this roadway is 45 mph in the vicinity of the two site accesses, the high speed criteria for Frontage Roads applies in this case. Per Section 3.13(4) of the State Highway Access Code, 2002, a deceleration lane and taper is required if projected peak hour turning volume exceeds 10 vph. The left turning movement for the eastern site access is anticipated to have 2 vph during the morning peak hour and 8 vph during the evening peak hour. The left turning movement of the western site access is anticipated to have 1 vph during the morning peak hour and 5 vph during the evening peak hour. Therefore, neither site access is anticipated to exceed the volume requirement for the installation of a westbound left turn lane. The Access Code requires the construction of a right turn deceleration lane if right turn peak hour volumes are anticipated to exceed 25 vph. The eastern site access is expected to have 6 vph during the morning peak hour and 18 vph during the evening peak hour. The western site access is anticipated to have 5 vph during the morning peak hour and 18 vph during the evening peak hour. There, it is not anticipated that either access will meet the volume requirement for the construction of an eastbound right turn lane. TCI Lane Ranch, E5875 Page H:\E5875\Reports\Traffic\Revised 2008-8-13\E5875 TIS.doc September, 2008 25 7.3 Off Site Improvements The northbound approach of the State Highway 82/County Road 100 intersection currently appears to operating unacceptably during the morning peak hour, given a single lane for all three potential northbound movements. The northbound right turning movement currently accounts for 75% of vehicles using this approach during the morning peak hour. The addition of a northbound right turn lane should be considered at this location, regardless of whether project-generated traffic is considered. In Year 2030, it is unlikely that the intersection of State Highway 82/County Road 100 will operate acceptably under projected conditions without the addition of a third through lane on State Highway 82. The projected volumes using the down-valley left turn on State Highway 82 will also benefit from the addition of a second left turn lane and corresponding receiving lane on County Road 100. In the long-term planning horizon, the east-westbound approaches of the County Road 100/State Highway 82 Frontage Road are expected to operate unacceptably with or without project-generated traffic. This would be mostly due to reduced number of adequate gaps available for turning vehicles created by background traffic on County Road 100. The westbound movement is projected to operate acceptably under total conditions with the addition of a left turn lane. The eastbound approach of this intersection consists of the access for the Catherine Store. The access for this facility appears to run along the majority of the Catherine Store frontage to County Road 100. Further limiting of access to this facility sometime prior to the long- term planning horizon may provide both a safety and operational benefit to the entire State Highway 82/County Road 100/SH 82 Frontage Road area. TCI Lane Ranch, E5875 Page H:\E5875\Reports\Traffic\Revised 2008-8-13\E5875 TIS.doc September, 2008 26 8.0 Conclusions The addition of project-generated traffic is not anticipated to have a significant impact on the roadway facilities at project buildout. If historical traffic growth rates persist in the vicinity of TCI Lane Ranch, significant improvements may be required to maintain an acceptable Level of Service, especially in regard to the intersection of State Highway 82 and County Road 100. It should be noted that these improvements are required even without the development of the TCI Lane Ranch project.
