<br />SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS DUE TO CUMULATIVE IMPACTS <br />(OR DISCUSS EACH CUMULATIVE IMPACT UNDER APPROPRiATE ITEM(S) <br />ELSEWHERE ON THIS FORM). <br /> <br />AUAR: <br />This item does not require a response for an AUAR since the entire AUAR process deals <br />with cumulative impacts from related developments within the A UAR area. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />30. OTHER POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS <br /> <br />EAW: <br />IF THE PROJECT MAY CAUSE ANY ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS <br />. WHICH WERE NOT ADDRESSED BY ITEMS 1 TO 28, IDENTIFY AND DISCUSS <br />THEM HERE, ALONG WITH ANY PROPOSED MITIGATION. <br /> <br />AUAR: <br />If applicable, this item should be answered as requested by the EA W form. <br /> <br />No additional adverse environmental impacts are anticipated. <br /> <br />31. SUMMARY OF ISSUES <br /> <br />EAW: . <br />LIST ANY IMPACTS AND ISSUES IDENTIFIED ABOVE THAT MAY REQUIRE <br />FURTHER INVESTIGATION BEFORE THE PROJECT IS COMMENCED. DISCUSS <br />ANY AL TERNA TIVES OR MITIGATIVE MEASURES THA T HAVE BEEN OR MAY <br />BE CONSIDERED FOR THESE IMPACTS AND ISSUES, INCLUDING THOSE THAT <br />HAVE BEEN OR MAY BE ORDERED AS PERMIT CONDITIONS. <br /> <br />AUAR: <br />The RGU may answer this question as asked by the EAW form, or instead may choose to <br />provide an Executive Summary to the document that basically covers the same information. <br />Either way, the major emphasis should be on: potentially significant impacts, the <br />differences in impacts between major development scenarios, and the proposed mitigation. <br /> <br />Item 11: Fish, Wildlife and Ecologically Sensitive Resources <br /> <br />The MnDNR's Natural Heritage database identifies the project site is within a "known <br />concentration" area of Blanding's turtles (Emydoidea blandingii), a species threatened in <br />Minnesota. Almost all of the land between the project site and the areas where turtles have <br />been identified is developed, medium density, residential land and is not considered <br />favorable habitat for Blanding's turtles. Nevertheless, there is a possibility that Blanding's <br />turtles could use portions of the site, particularly wetland L which is a shallow wetland and . <br />the surrounding undisturbed sandy loam upland located at the northwest corner of the <br />property. <br /> <br />Guidant Campus Master Plan <br />Draft AUAR <br /> <br />- 57 - <br /> <br />September 2002 <br />
