RE: Ecological Characterization Study of the Rigden Farm, LLC, Fort Collins, CO
Dear Dave:
Following is TR Boss Environmental and Ecological Consulting
(TRB) Ecological Characterization of the Rigden Farm LLC.
.Under Condition 3.4 of City of Fort Collins ` Environmental Natural and Cultural Standards,
Sections 3.4.1 (C), Page 59 (D)-Ecological Characterization and Natural Habitat or Feature
Boundary Definition.
Under D-1 (Ecological Characterization Study) states that "If the Development Site contains, or
is within 500 feet of a natural habitat feature, or the site likely includes area with wildlife, and/or
plant life, and and/or natural in need of protection then the City of Fort Collins wishes an
Ecological Characterization of the property in question.
The Rigdon Farm Site is either an active farm site or is fallow. The ditch that the City Natural
Resources is concerned about is small, deep sided. Dabbling ducks such as mallards may utilize
the ditch during the year. The ditch is probably used by such wildlife as raccoon, skunk, and
meadow mice.
The habitat is not conducive to the Preble's Jumping Mouse or to the Ute Ladie's Tresses.
