Endangered Species. Are any state-listed (endangered, threatened, or special concern) <br />species, rare plant communities or other sensitive ecological resources such as native prairie <br />habitat, colonial nesting bird colonies or regionally rare plant communities on or near the site? <br /> <br />If yes, describe the resource and how it would be affected by the project. Indicate if a site <br />survey of the resources has been conducted and describe the results, If the DNR Natural <br />Heritage and Nongame Research program has been contacted give the correspondence <br />reference number: Describe measures to minimize or avoid adverse impacts. <br /> <br />According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Blanding's Turtles, a <br />state-threatened species, which is defined as a species that is likely to become <br />endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its <br />range within the State of Minnesota, have been reported in the area and may be found <br />on the projeet site if habitat is suitable, However, the existing development (roads and <br />buildings) between known Blanding's turtle habitat and the project site probably has <br />resulted in the site being inaceessible to the Blanding's turtle population, Moreover, <br />the site in its current state is dry and may not be conducive as habitat. The proposed <br />project will potentially provide habitat, in the form of wetlands and stormwater <br />ponding, for the Blanding's turtle, <br /> <br />As suggested by the DNR, the following steps are recommended to protect any <br />Blanding's turtles on site as much as possible. If the presence of Blanding's turtles is <br />verified on the site, the proposer will follow as many of these recommendations as is <br />feasible, <br />. Signs will be posted during on-site construction alerting workers to the potential <br />presence of the turtles. In addition, workers will be informed verbally about the <br />presence of Blanding's turtles and instructed to move them to the nearest wetland <br />if they are encountered, <br />. When working near wetlands, silt fencing will be installed to keep turtles out of <br />construction areas, These fences will be removed immediately after the area has <br />been revegetated, <br /> <br />Page 12 <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />. <br />
