This information has been added to the <br />Minnesota Natural Heritage Database and is reflected in the enclosed updated database printouts. This <br />sighting reinforces our knowledge that Blanding's Turtle are present in the vicinity of the Guidant Campus <br />and likely utilize various habitat components of the subject property. As such, it is imperative that the <br />protection measures included on page 15 of the Draft AUAR are implemented to ensure the persistence of <br />this species in the area. <br />Thank you for consulting us on this matter, and for your interest in preserving Minnesota's rare <br />natural resources. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />.~ I <br />.1/ /'/ <br />-Y77'.7..; /lje Z /lJ '--- <br />co.- .' ..(< .c-" / <br />/ <br />, <br />Sarah D.
