Torres <br />Subject: Re: Request for �nformation - Northwestern College EAW <br />Angela, <br />I have reviewed my information while looking at aerial photography for the site. Below is my response highlighted. <br />Nick <br />Below is Question No. 11 of the EAW I am preparing for Northwestern College. Please provide me with any information <br />that you have in your data base. In addition, attached is a map showing the project location. <br />11. Fish, wildlife and ecologically sensitive resources <br />a. Identify fish and wildlife resources and habitats on or near the site and describe how they would be affected by the <br />project. Describe any measures to be taken to minimize or avoid impacts. <br />Forested habitat surrounding both Johanna Lake and Little Johanna Lake provide important nesting habitat for migratory <br />birds such as warblers and other other songbirds. To avoid impacts to these habitats, we recommend that they be <br />preserved. If necessary to remove individual trees, we recommend native trees be planted following any development. <br />As much buffer as possible, should be maintained to enhance fish and wildlife habitat. <br />b. Are any state-listed (endangered, threatened or special concern) species, rare plant communities or other sensitive <br />ecological resources such as native prairie habitat, colonial waterbird nesting colonies or <br />regionally rare plant communities on or near the site? _Yes X No <br />
