Introduction
This Ecological Characterization Report documents the ecological characteristics within the
proposed Harmony 23 residential development project area located on23 acres at the southwest
corner of Harmony Road and Strauss Cabin Road in Fort Collins, Colorado (Parcel #'s 8604000001
and 8604000007). This report confbrms to Section 3.4.1 (D) (1) of the Land Use Code of the City
of Fort Collins regarding the preparation of an Ecological Characterization Study (ECS). The project
contact with the City of Fort Collins is Senior Environmental Planner Rebecca Everette.
Methods
Background and data review was conducted prior to field work to gather existing information and
assist in the evaluation of sensitive and natural biological resources within the project. The data
review included an evaluation ofonline resources, review ofagencypublications, and coordination
with agency staffto determine the presence or potential occurrence of sensitive natural and biological
resollrces at the project. This background review included:
' USFWS Federally Listed and Proposed Endangered, Threatened, and Candidate Species and
Critical Habitat in Larimer County as identified by the USFWS Information, Planning, and
Conservation System (IPaC) Official Species List and Critical Habitat Mapper;
' Review for the potential occuffence of Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and BGEPA protected species,
as identified on the IPAC Trust Resources Report;
' Completion of an online Colorado Natural Heritage Program database search for the presence of
statewide species for Larimer County, Colorado, Potential Conservation Areas, and Rare and
Imperiled Animals, Plants, and Plant Communities, animals and plants of Special Concern;
' Colorado Parks and Wildlife Threatened and Endangered List including USFWS and Colorado
State Threatened, Endangered, and species of Special Concern,
' Species identified as in need of protection in the City of Fort Collins Natural Areas Policy Plan and
City of Fort Collins Land Use Code, Natural Habitats, and Features considered sensitive;
' Review of Natural Resources Conservation Service 0\fRCS) soils and ecological site data to
identify soils and habitats present within the vicinity capable of supporting sensitive or specially
valued species (Completed November 1 1, 201 5);
' Review of the USFWS National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) Wetlands Mapper for the occurrence
of known or suspected U.S. Army Corps of Engineers jurisdictional wetlands and waterbodies;
' Review of soils surveys and U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation
Service National List of Hydric Soils to aid in the determination for the presence of wetlands; and
' Review and analysis of current and historical aerial photography.
l-
. Field survey work and site review of the Harmony 23 property was conducted by David Steinmann
witlr Prof'essional Wetlands Consulting, lnc. onAugust 5.22,24 and31.2076. The field survey
included walking transects across the entire project area for the purpose of identifying wetlands,
sensitive and specially valued species, habitat capable of supporting these species, avian roosting and
nesting sites, general wildlife habitat, existing vegetation. and other natural or naturalized features
which could sr-rppolt wildlife. Wetlands were delineated following the Corps ofEngineers Wetlands
Delineation Manual (1987), and boturdaries of onsite wetlands were flagged and surveyed.
Site Description
The proposed Harmony 23 encompasses a23-acre field of agricultural plains grassland located at
the southeast corner of Harmony Road and Strauss Cabin Road (Figure 1). The Harmony 23 project
is bounded by roads, residential development, and undeveloped land. The primary use of the
property has been agricultural, with hay meadows and livestock pasture occuring at the site.
The legal description for the Harmony 23 project site is in Section 4, Township 6 North, Range 68
West of the 6'r' Principal Meridian in Larimer County, Colorado. The site is west of Interstate 25.
A concept site plan of the proposed Harmony 23 project developrnent is shown on Figure 2.
E,co lo gical Chara cterizatron
Tlre elements of the Ecological Characterrzation Study are summarrzed rn this section in the order
listed in Section 3.4.1 (D) (1) of the Land Use Code. According to the City of Fort Collins Natural
Habitat and Features Map, the Harmony 23 project site does contain a small wetlands area that
qualifies as a natural habitats and features. The section of the Box Elder Ditch that flows across the
subject property is planned for relocation by the irrigation ditch company. The Harmony 23 project
site is mostly an agricultural field that was used to support livestock and is currently hayed. It has
a variety of non-native and forage grasses and other exotic species. Native trees are not present.
(a) Wildlife
The wildlif'e value of the project site is moderate to poor due to the Harmony 23 project's suburban
location, the proximity to major roads, lack of native vegetation, and the past levels of human
disturbance. The site was historically used for agriculture, with livestock grazing and haying being
the most recent activities. The Harmony 23 project is mostly treeless and the land consists
principally of an open fleld with non-native grasses and other exotic species. Most wildlife use at
the site can be expected to be transitional, except for rodents and small mammals that may occupy
the property year round. Small mammals, birds and insects likely travel along the Box Elder Ditch
corridor. Wildlife will utilize the Box Elder Ditch as a water source when the ditch is flowing.
Seasonal and/or year-round use can be expected by a number of birds including American robins
(Tu,dus migralorius'), mourning doves (Zenuidura macroura), magpies (Picapica), swallows, crows
(Corvus brachyrhynchos), chickadees, juncos, sparrows, and ravens (Corvus corctx). No birds
nests
were observed at tl-re site or in any of the Russian olive trees. Raptors utilize the site for hunting
rabbits, rodents, birds and small animals. No waterfowl were observed at the property.
Mammals such as eastern cottontail rabbit (Sylvilagus floridanus'), mice, voles, fox squirrel(Sciurus
niger), foxes, racoons, coyotes, and deer likely rtlhze the Flarmony 23 project area during all
seasons. Common reptiles such as garter snakes (Thamnophis s'irtalis). bull snakes, and lizards may
also utilize the site. Structural habitat ancl cover are not present at the site for most species. The open
meadows are regularly cut and hayed whicl-r limits wildlife habitat. Wildlife values are low to
moderate and include feeding, watering and cover. The only wildlife observed onsite were rabbits.
(b) Wetlands
Wetlands at the Harmony 23 site are limited to a small patch of cattails in a rnan-made excavated
depression on the east side of the Box Elder Ditch near the northern property boundary. There are
no natural or historical wetlands on the Harmony 23 project. The boundaries of the cattail wetlands
were flagged and surveyed, as shown on Figure 3 , and the total area of these wetlands is 4
1 1 square
feet (0.0094 acres). The cattail wetlands are low-quality and situated in an abandoned livestock
watering pond that was dug when the property use was agriculture, photos are on Figure 7. The
wetlands are supported by sub-surface seepage from the Box Elder Ditch. Functions and values of
the cattail wetlands include wildlife habitat, nutrient retention, and within basin food chain support.
A field meeting was conducted on August 24'h with Angelle Greer from the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers and with Rebecca Everett from the City of Fofi Collins to review the site and held verify
the wetlands delineation work for the property. The open meadows at the property were historically
flood irrigated and there is still evidence of irrigation laterals throughout the site, yet the meadows
are not wetlands. There is some remnant three-square bulrush (Schoenopleclus'pungens) in the open
meadows, yet the areas of thlee-square bulrush are not wetlands because they lack wetland soils and
hydrology. The 411 square feet of cattail wetlands are isolated and not regulated by the Corps.
The seasonally inundated area near the northeast corner of the site is created by water seepage from
the irrigation ditch lateral that parallels Harmony Road; this area is not a wetlands because the site
does not have wetland soils and most of the vegetation is not hydrophytic wetlands vegetation. A
letter will be obtained from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers verifying the extent of wetlands on
the Harmony 23 property, and the Wetland Determination Data Forms are on Attachment 1.
The section of the Box Elder Ditch that flows across the subject property is shown on the City of
Fort Collins Natural Areas Map as an aquatic feature. The ditch contains a narrow strip of vegetated
wetlands on either side of the ditch water surface. The Box Elder Ditch is planned for relocation by
the Box Elder Ditch Company before site development begins.
Since the Box Elder Ditch will be relocated, the top of bank and shoreline of the ditch were not
flagged and surveyed. The total area ofthe wetlands and waters within the Box Elder Creek channel
is less lhanYz acre based upon a 12' average channel width inside the ditch multiplied by the 1800'
length of the ditch. The surveyed alignment of Box Elder Ditch is shown on Figure 3.
There are wetlands to the north and across Harmony Road from the subject properly shown on the
Natural Areas Map, and the wetlands north of Harmony Road will not be affected by the proposed
Harmony 23 development. There are abandoned gravel pits that are filled with water on the east side
of Strauss Cabin Road, and these gravel pits will not be impacted by the Harmony 23 project.
(c) Prominent Views
There are no prominent or significant views from or across the site because the land is situated at the
base of a hill that blocks any views of the foothills to the west. Development of the site will not
interfere with or obstruct any prominent views. Photographs of the Harmony 23 site from the taken
from the north, south and west corners of the property are attached as Figures 4 - 6.
(d) Native Trees and Vegetation
The site does not contain any significant native trees. The property is an open field that has been
used for agriculture purposes and haying. The vegetation is dominated by non-native species. There
are some isolated rabbitbrush (Ericamerio nouseosa) shrubs at the south end of the site. The most
abundant native vegetation on the property is western wheatgrass (Pascopyrum smithii). Native
vegetation is a minor and non-dominant component of the total vegetation cover.
(e) Non-native Trees and Vegetation
Non-native vegetation is the dominant plant cover at the Harmony 23 property. There are a total of
10 Russian olive trees growing at the property, and these are the only mature trees present at the site.
There are 7 Russian olive trees interspersed in the open held near the northwest corner of the
property, and 3 Russian olive trees just east of the Box Elder Ditch on the properly. The non-native
Russian olive trees do not provide significant wildlife habitat benefits nor do they contribute
significantly to the site's ecological, shade, canopy, aesthetic or cooling values.
The Harmony 23 property is an abandoned agricultural field, and the principal non-native vegetation
includes meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis'), orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata) and smooth brome
(Bromus inermis'). Other introduced species that are present include Canadian thistle (Cirsium
arvense), field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis), alfalfa (Medicago sativa), chicory (.Cichorium
spp.), and ragweed (Ambrosict psilostachya). No non-native shrubs are present.
(0 Top of Bank, Shoreline and High Water Mark of Perennial Water
The top of bank for the eastern edge of the Fossil Creek Reservoir Ditch is shown on Figure 2, with
the Fossil Creek Reservoir Ditch being to the west of the subject parcel. The 50' buffer zone from
the top of the bank is also shown, and the buff-er zone boundary generally coincides with the property
boundary. The site project does not contain any perennial watel sources as the irrigation ditch flows
are seasollal and the irrigation ditches do not flow year round.
The section of the Box Elder Ditch that flows across the subject property is planned for relocation
by the Box Elder Ditch Company. The current alignment of the Box Elder Ditch was sllrveyed and
is shown on Figure 3. Since the Box Elder Ditch will be relocated, the top of bank and shoreline of
the ditch were not flagged and surveyed at this time.
According to the FEMA Map Panel (08069C 1000F), portions of the Harmony 23 project are inside
theModerateRiskZone- 100/500yearfloodplainshownathttp://www.fceov.com/utilities/what-we-
do/stormwater/fl oodir-r g/fl oodplain-rnaps-docum ents.
(g) Sensitive and Specially Valued Species
There are no known occurrences or habitat for sensitive and specially valued species on the Harmony
23 project. The USFWS Information, Planning and Conservation System (IPAC) was accessed to
determine species of concern in Larimer County, which includethe Preble's meadowjumpingmouse
(Zapus hudsonius preblei).Ute lady's tresses orchid (Spiranthes diluviali.s) and Colorado butterfly
plant (Gauro neomexicana ssp. coloraden.yis), all of which are associated with riparian and wetland
areas. Additionally, the site was closely examined for potential habitat for the above listed species.
No known occupied habitat or potential habitat occurs at the Harmony 23 site for the Preble's
Meadow Jumping Mouse, the Ute Ladies' Tresses Orchid, or the Colorado Butterfly Plant. The
proposed site development will not adversely impact any listed Threatened & Endangered species.
According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, all trapping for the Preble's meadow jumping
rrrouse (PMJM) in Fort Collins has been negative. Typical habitat for PM.IM is composed of well-
developed willow and riparian vegetation with adjacent, relatively undisturbed grassland
communitjes and a water source. Ripariar-r habitat should include a combination of grasses, forbs and
shrubs. Based on these habitat requirements and the negative trapping data, the PMJM does not
occur on the site and development of the Harmony 23 project will not adversely affect PMJM.
The Ute lady's tresses and the Colorado butterfly plant do not occur on the site. The closest known
occurrences of these plants are near the northwest boundary of Fort Collins (Ute lady's tresses) and
within the City-managed Soapstone Prairie Natural Area near Wyoming (butterfly plant). Suitable
habitat is not present within the Harmony 23 project area for either of these listed plant species.
(h) Special Habitat Features
The Natural Habitat and Features Map provided by the City of Fort Collins identifies the following
Natural Communities, Habitats and special f'eatures:
Natural Communities or Habitats:
a) Aquatic (e.g., rivers, streanls, lakes, ponds).
b) Wetland and wet meadow.
c) Native grassland.
d) Riparian forest.
e) Urban plains folest.
f) Riparian shrubland.
g) Foothills forest
Special Features as outlined in the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code are:
a) Significant rerlnants of native plant communities.
b) Potential habitats and known locations of rare, threatened or endangered plants.
c) Potential habitats and known locations of rare, threatened or endangered animals.
d) Raptor habitat features, including nest sites, communal roost sites and key concentration areas.
e) Concentration areas for nesting and migratory shorebirds and waterfowl.
f) Migratoly songbird concentration areas.
g) Key nesting areas for grassland birds.
h) Fox and coyote dens.
i) Mule deer winter concentration areas.
j) Prairie dog colonies over fifty (50) acres in size.
k) Concentration areas for rare, migrant or resident butterflies.
l) Areas of high terrestrial or aquatic insect diversity.
m) Areas of significant geological or paleontological interest.
n) Irrigation ditches that serve as wildlife corridors.
At the Harmony 23 property, the small patch of cattails on the east side of the Box Elder Ditch near
the northern property boundary qualifies as a Natural Community or Habitat. Special Features in
the vicinity of the Harmony 23 project area consist of two irrigation ditches that serve as wildlife
corridors, the Fossil Creek Reservoir Ditch and the Box Elder Ditch. The section of the Box Elder
Ditch that flows across the subject property is planned for relocation by the Box Elder Ditch
Company prior to site development and construction.
Due to the lacl< of trees and shrubs along the irrigation ditches, it is unlikely that the ditches act as
a rnigration colridor for wildlife species other small mammals, birds, insects and butterflies.
Although tl're Fossil Creek Reservoir Ditch is outside of the Harmony 23 project boundary, the
proposed Harnrony 23 site development will occlrr outside of the suggested 50-foot buffel for an
irrigation ditch. Development on the I-larnrony 23 project will not affect the functions of the Fossil
Creek Reservoir Ditch as a wildlife corridor.
l
(i) Wildlife Movement Corridors
The Box Elder Ditch is a wildlife corridor that can be followed by small marnmals, birds, insects,
butterflies and pollinators. There are no trees or shrubs along the ditch, yet the ditch provides a
continuous water surf-ace with a narrow band of adjacent herbaceous wetlands vegetation. The
section of the Box Elder Ditch on the property is planned fbr relocation by the Box Elder Ditch
Company. Since the Box Elder Ditch will be relocated by the ditch company, the top of bank,
wetlands, and shoreline of the ditch were not flagged and surveyed at this time.
(J) General Ecological Functions
The 23-acre site does 11ot support any significant areas of native vegetation, high-quality wetlands,
or other unique habitat features. The Harmony 23 project site consists of agricultural field dominated
by non-native plants, with low to moderate wildlife habitat value characteristic of agricultural land.
(k) Timing of Development in Relation to Ecological Character
The primary concern for the timing of development is protection of nesting birds that may occur at
the Harmony 23 project. Under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, it is unlawful for anyone to
take, possess, import, export, transport, sel1, pulchase, barter or offer for sale, purchase or barter, any
migratory bird or the parts, nests or eggs of such a bird. The construction should be timed to avoid
disturbing nesting birds that occur on the site, with the nesting period being March 1 to August 31.
(l) Mitigation Measures
The only natural habitat area potentially requiring mitigation measures will be the 411 square foot
cattail wetlands in the abandoned livestock watering pond. The cattail wetlands will be mitigated
by one of the following measures: a) onsite mitigation by creating and planting new wetlands in the
planned stormwater detention ponds, or b) fee in lieu to the City of Fort Collins. Erosion and
sedimentation control practices should be employed during construction, and land disturbed during
site development and construction should be revegetated. There will be a 50' buffer between the top
of the eastern bank of the Fossil Creek Reservoir Ditch and the proposed development at the site.
Summary
No significant ecological resources will be adversely impacted on the Harmony 23 project. The small
area of wetlands which may be impacted can be mitigated as outlined in the measures listed above.
Site development and construction should be timed to avoid disturbing any nesting birds that may
occur at the site. It is recommended that the Harmony 23 project proceed and that the proposed
mitigation rreasures be implemented, as provided for in the Fort Collins Land Use Code.
