Small green Platanthera Special <br />Swamp forests that have a continuous or <br />wood orchid clavellate concern <br />interrupted canopy of black spruce or <br />tamarack and non -forested poor fens that <br />often ring peatland lakes. These habitats <br />usually have hummocks of sphagnum <br />moss interspersed with water -filled hollows. <br />The soils are saturated, well -decomposed <br />peat, and the surface water is acidic with <br />a pH of 4.2-5.5. <br />Trumpeter Cygnus Special <br />During the breeding season, small ponds <br />swan buccinator concern <br />and lakes or bays on larger water bodies <br />with extensive beds of emergent <br />vegetation such as cattails, bulrushes, and <br />sedges. Ideal habitat includes about 100 <br />meters of open water for take -off, stable <br />levels of unpolluted fresh water, emergent <br />marsh vegetation, low levels of human <br />disturbance, and the presence of muskrat <br />houses and North American beaver lodges <br />for use as nesting platforms. <br />Regal Fritillary Speyeria Special <br />Native prairie habitat; adults can be <br />idalia Concern <br />encountered in both upland prairies and <br />wet prairies, and larval development may <br />be restricted to wet prairies. <br />Black Gaylussacia Threatened <br />Well -drained and sandy soil or dry <br />huckleberry baccata <br />sandstone in fire -dependent forests <br />Blanding's Emydoidea Threatened <br />Wetland complexes and adjacent sandy <br />turtle blandingii <br />uplands; calm, shallow waters, including <br />wetlands associated with rivers and <br />streams with rich aquatic vegetation. <br />Seaside Aristida Threatened <br />Dry and loose sand in sand savannas, sand <br />three -awn tuberculosa <br />prairies, and dunes where vegetation is <br />sparse <br />Swamp Rubus Threatened <br />Most occurrences are in savanna <br />blackberry semisetosus <br />remnants, particularly on sand plains in <br />Anoka, Isanti, and Sherburne Counties <br />Ghost tiger Cicindela Threatened <br />Steep, open, blowing sand dunes <br />beetle lepida <br />Henslow's Ammodramus Endangered <br />Grasslands with tall vegetation and <br />sparrow henslowii <br />substantial litter layer. <br />The AUAR study area has undergone extensive <br />demolition and remediation activities. Given <br />the highly disturbed nature of the site, there is minimal likelihood of finding suitable habitat <br />for the identified species. <br />As noted in the 2014 AUAR, DNR recommendations for minimizing impacts to the Blanding's <br />turtle during construction will be required for all <br />development activities. No direct or indirect <br />effects are anticipated to state -listed species. <br />TCAAP AUAR Update 10 <br />April 2024 <br />
