Fish, wildlife and ecologically sensitive resources <br />a. Identify fish and wildlife resources and habitats on or near the site and describe how <br />they would be affected by the project. Describe any measures to be taken to <br />minimize or avoid impacts. <br /> <br />The remaining lots on the site not occupied by streets, buildings, or excavated <br />storm water ponds are upland and are either under construction or have been graded <br />to accommodate development. Temporary sediment and erosion control devices <br />have been established on the sites under construction. No wooded' or brushy areas <br />are present, and the overall structural diversity of the habitat is low. <br /> <br />The quality and value of this habitat for wildlife is relatively low due to the <br />following reasons: <br /> <br />The nature of the adjoining areas is such that it does not attract or harbor significant <br />wildlife populations. Interstate 35W borders the site to the west, Interstate 35W <br />interchanges lie to the north and south, and a combination of residential housing, <br />business, and industrial developments lie to the east. Ponding areas to the south and <br />east may attract some waterfowl and waterbirds, but there are no significant ponding <br />areas on the subject site other than the 8-stormwater ponds scattered throughout. <br /> <br />The degree of disturbance to the area has been high. Buildings and houses have been <br />removed, the entire site was graded, and storm water ponds and ditches were <br />excavated. Buildings, an internal road and trail system were constructed, all within <br />the last 10 years. This has resulted in the removal of all natural habitat components. <br />The undeveloped portions of the site are a combination of landscaped and turf areas. <br /> <br />Environmental Assessment Worksheet <br />Centre Pointe Business Park <br /> <br />Page 10 of 29 <br />
