Wildlife Habitat. Should a revised UGB expansion area include areas along the Deschutes River, Tumalo Creek, or both, the city must apply OAR 660- 023-0110, the Goal 5 wildlife habitat rule, by conducting a safe harbor inventory under OAR 660-023-0110(4). The rule allows the city to limit consideration of significant habitat to the five habitat categories specified in subsections (a)-(e). The Commission understands that the City anticipates that ODFW will provide the City a letter stating that the agency does not have information that any of the five habitat categories are documented, identified or mapped within the portion of the Deschutes River or Tumalo Creek corridors that pass through the expansion area. 83. Tumalo Creek – Should a revised UGB expansion area include Tumalo Creek in the final expansion area, the city must apply the Goal 5 safe harbor inventory and protection measures for riparian areas along the creek. 84. ..the Commission concludes that the City may not exclude identified ASIs from its BLI (if they are already inside the prior UGB), or excluded ASIs from inclusion in the expansion area.
Wildlife Habitat. The Engineer will review the Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) database for the project area related to wildlife and woodland habitat. The Engineer will also conduct any necessary wildlife and habitat field reviews in the Study Corridor, including grasslands and woodland habitat. The Engineer will utilize the data to identify potential impacts to wildlife and habitat. The Engineer will document all findings, coordination, and results related to potential impacts to wildlife and habitat in the EA.

Wildlife Habitat. The Company utilized the professional expertise of WEST Inc. to investigate potential Project impacts upon area wildlife. Two known elk and mule deer migration corridors were found to exist, as well as elk and mule deer wintering habitats (please refer to Appendix item 27). The Project has avoided the migration corridors area entirely, with narrowest area of fencing leaving well over a 1000’ wide gap for wildlife passage. Active dialogue with CPW’s Southwestern Region office in Durango, as well as the Dove Creek District Wildlife Manager, has been a vital component to Project design. CPW toured the Project area on February 23, 2021. A roundtable discussion of CPW recommendations was held on March 9th, focusing on best design and development practices, in light of elk and mule deer wintering habitats. This dialogue continues, and the Company will consider CPW recommendations alongside other Project constraints. Early on in our site analysis, the Company was made aware of potential GuSG implications with the Project location. However, upon professional study, the Project has been found to not impact GuSG Critical Habitat nor the species’ Recovery Implementation Strategy crafted by the FWS2. The FWS Grand Junction Ecological Services Field Office has issued a “no consultation necessary” letter regarding this important regional species. Please refer to Appendix item 28. Should species individuals present themselves on site during construction, the Company will work with the FWS, who will advise the Company on procedural best practices at that time.
