At the March 20 business meeting of the Master Association Board, Open Space Manager Sean Warren gave a presentation about the Eagle Incidental Take Permit (EITP) for Docmann Loop Trail. After considering this new information from staff, the Board decided pursuing an EITP was not in the Master Association’s best interest and that the chances of construction activity for the trail project causing a violation of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act are very low due to the following reasons: The trail alignment is outside Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s recommended nest buffer for Golden Eagles, sightlines between the trail and nest are blocked by intervening topography for a majority of the trail’s alignment, and the construction schedule for the project starts in late summer, outside the nesting season for golden eagles using the South Valley Park nest site. The Master Association is applying for a Natural Surface Trails permit with Jefferson County prior to construction, which is anticipated to begin in August pending permit approval. The presentation from the meeting can be viewed below.
