MN <br /> <br />EAW <br /> <br />September 2001 <br /> <br />10. <br /> <br />A Phase I Environmental Assessment will be conducted prior to demolition of the <br />existing ATS Steel buildings, <br /> <br />Cover Types. Estimate the acreage of the site with each of the following cover types before and <br />after development: <br /> <br />Existinl! Site <br />Upland Areas <br />Crop Land <br />Wooded/forest <br />Impervious Surfaces <br />Brush/Grassland <br />Urban/Suburban Landscaping <br />Wetland Areas (types 1-8) <br />Other (stormwater pond) <br /> <br />After <br /> <br />Before <br /> <br />o <br />3.02:1: <br />2.9:t <br />15,O:t <br />O,87:t <br />3.96 <br />0.70 <br />26.45 <br /> <br />o <br />0,30:1: <br />14.5:t <br />5,23:t <br />l.0:t <br />4.46 <br />0,96 <br />26.45 <br /> <br />If Before and After total are not equal, explain why: <br /> <br />Not applicable. <br /> <br />11. <br /> <br />Fish, Wildlife, and Ecologically Sensitive Resources. <br />a. Fish & Wildlife Resources. Identify fish and wildlife resources and habitats on or near the site <br />and describe how they would be affected by the project. Describe any measures to be taken to <br />minimize or avoid impacts. <br /> <br />The site is bounded by highways on all sides. As a result, the existing wetlands would <br />be restrieted to habitat for aquatic species and birds, Most of the existing wetlands <br />will be preserved. Unavoidable wetland encroachment will result in a 2: 1 <br />replacement. Therefore, it is assumed that the existing habitat will remain unaffected <br />for the most part, <br />According to the 2001 EA, vegetation on the site was varied and included low- <br />growing ground cover, typical wetland plants, shrubs and trees, According to the <br />Wetland Delineation Report, Appendix I, wetlands #3, #5 and #7, which will be <br />affected, possess the following types of dominant vegetation: <br /> <br />Page 11 <br />
