Colorado’s Conservation Data Explorer Project Review Report
Project ID: CODEX-4199 Review Date: 7/17/2024 04:55:53 AM
Project Report:
The information contained herein represents the results of a search of Colorado's Conservation Data
Explorer (CODEX) and can be used as notice to anticipate possible impacts or identify areas of interest.
This tool queries multiple conservation datasets and includes a synthesis of Colorado Natural Heritage
Program (CNHP) and Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) data for sensitive animal and plant species and
natural communities. Care should be taken in interpreting these data.
Please note that the absence of data for a particular area, species, or habitat does not necessarily mean
that these natural heritage resources do not occur on or adjacent to the project site, rather that our files
do not currently contain information to document their presence. CODEX information should not replace
field studies necessary for more localized planning efforts, especially if impacts to wildlife habitat are
possible. Although every attempt is made to provide the most current and precise information possible,
please be aware that some of our sources provide a higher level of accuracy than others, and some
interpretation may be required. CODEX data is constantly updated and revised. Please contact CNHP,
CPW and our partners for assistance with interpretation of this report or to obtain more information.
Disclaimer:
1.This is a preliminary environmental screening tool. It is not a substitute for the potential
knowledge gained by having a biologist conduct a field survey of the project area. This review
does not constitute environmental consultation (including federal consultation under the
Endangered Species Act), land use permitting, or the review of site-specific projects by
CNHP and CPW and our partners.
2.This Project Report is based on the project study area that was entered. The report must be
updated if the project study area, location, or the type of project changes.
3.The Conservation Data Explorer (CODEX) data is constantly changing and being updated and is
not intended to be the final word on the potential distribution of special status species. Colorado is
large and diverse with plants, animals, and environmental conditions that are ever changing.
Consequently, many areas may contain species that biologists do not know about or species
previously noted in a particular area may no longer occur there. CODEX data contains
information about species occurrences that have actually been reported to CNHP, CPW and our
partners. Not all of Colorado has been surveyed for special status species, and surveys that have
been conducted have varied greatly in scope and intensity. Such surveys may reveal previously
undocumented population of species of special concern.

One of CNHP's core research activities is managing a statewide database that details the locations of rare and imperiled species and natural plant
communities in Colorado. We gather data from CNHP surveys and monitoring projects, as well as from partners and other trusted sources like
herbariums. All of our data are compiled and managed in the Biodiversity Information Management System (Biotics), a web-enabled database
platform hosted by NatureServe. The species and natural plant communities we track are assigned global and state imperilment ranks based on
rarity, threats, and trends, and their locations are mapped as element occurrences. Element occurrences include spatial data as well as details on
condition, size, and landscape context. This information allows us to track both overall distribution and site-specific details describing how well
elements are thriving at each location. We use element occurrences to delineate Potential Conservation Areas that represent the primary area
needed to support the element occurrences, and often include additional suitable habitat or buffers from disturbance. Please visit the CNHP website
for more definitions and details related to CNHP data in CODEX.
CODEX Report Definitions
CNHP Biodiversity Rank – The significance of a potential conservation
area in terms of its biological diversity ranging from B1 (Outstanding
Biodiversity significance meaning protection of this potential conservation
area can prevent a species from going extinct) to B5 (General interest or
open space for more globally secure species).
CNHP Edit Date– The date the CNHP potential conservation area record
was last updated.
CNHP Identifier– A unique identifier for each CNHP data type,
applicable only to CNHP data records.
CO Status – State status per Colorado Parks & Wildlife: Endangered
(SE), Threatened (ST), or State Special Concern (SC).
Common Name – The common name of the species or plant community.
Critical Habitat Status – Critical habitat status for federally listed
Managed Areas Name – Name of the managed area.
Manager – The general land Manager.
Management Description - The general category of how the feature is
managed.
Other Species of Concern – Other globally rare species and plant
communities, BLM or USFS sensitive species, state listed species, or
Tier 1 and Tier 2 priority species from Colorado’s State Wildlife Action
Plan, and species of economic and recreational value.
Other Status – Other status such as BLM sensitive species (BLM), U.S
Forest Service sensitive species (USFS), and Tier 1 and Tier 2 priority
species from Colorado’s State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP Tier 1, SWAP
Tier 2).
Owner – The general land owner.

Special Areas Name – The name of the special area.
State Rarity - The rarity rank used by CNHP and The Natural Heritage
Network to track how rare a species or plant community is in Colorado,
ranging from S1 (rarest) to S5 (most common).
