<br />II.Fish, wildlife and ecologically sensitive resources <br /> <br />a. Identify fish and wildlife resources and habitats on or near the site and describe <br />how they would be affected by the project. Describe any measures to be taken to <br />minimize or avoid impacts. <br /> <br />The project site is located within an area of residential homes, commercial and retail, and <br />roadways. Though it is essentially fully developed, there are a number of water bodies on <br />the edges of the area that provide habitat for fish and other wildlife. Waterbodies include <br />wetlands, Clearwater Creek, and Centerville Lake. <br /> <br />Wildlife species likely to be present in the project area include raccoon, rabbit, squirrel, <br />fox, deer, egret, heron, goose, duck and other waterfowl, hawk and other raptors, <br />songbirds and other bird species; small amphibians and reptiles may also be present. Fish <br />species identified in area lakes include walleye, northern pike, black crappie, bullhead, <br />yellow perch, largemouth bass, carp, sunfish, and white sucker. <br /> <br />Because of the proximity to Centerville Lake and Clearwater Creek, erosion and <br />sediment control will be important (see EA W Item 16). Best Management Practices will <br />be used during construction of the project and may include silt fence, rock construction <br />entrances, temporary sediment traps, biorolls, riprap, inlet protection, temporary seeding <br />and mulch. <br /> <br />b. Are any state-listed (endangered, threatened or special concern) species, rare <br />plant communities or other sensitive ecological resources such as native prairie <br />habitat, colonial waterbird nesting colonies or regionally rare plant communities on <br />or near the site? _X _Yes No <br /> <br />If yes, describe the resource and how it would be affected by the project. Indicate if <br />a site survey oCthe resources has been conducted and describe the results. If the <br />DNR Natural Heritage and Nongame Research program has been contacted give the <br />correspondence reference number: ERDB 20080122. Describe measures to <br />minimize or avoid adverse impacts. <br /> <br />The DNR Natural Heritage and Nongame Research Program was recently contacted <br />regarding the potential presence of threatened or endangered species, as well as other rare <br />or sensitive biological resources in the vicinity of the project. The response letter (see <br />Attachment 1) indicated that one threatened species (Blanding's Turtle) was historically <br />identified in 1989 crossing a road south of Centerville. This species is found primarily in <br />shallow wetlands (1-3 feet deep), but nest in open, sandy uplands up to one mile from <br />wetlands. The project area is not within a known state-wide importance priority area, <br />where greater protection is recommended to protect Blanding's Turtles. <br /> <br />The DNR has provided recommendations for avoiding and minimizing impacts to this <br />species (see Attachment 1). All of the recommendations applicable to the project and the <br />project area will be implemented except for the recommendation regarding road curbing. <br /> <br />8 <br />
