generally more tolerant of human presence and activities and have demonstrated by <br />their presence that they adapt readily to the human environment. <br />The project is not located within any regionally significant ecological areas (RSEAs). <br />b. Describe rare features such as state -listed (endangered, threatened, or special concern) <br />species, native plant communities, Minnesota County Biological Survey Sites of <br />Biodiversity Significance, and other sensitive ecological resources on or within close <br />proximity to the site. Provide the license agreement number (LA-843) from which the data <br />were obtained, and attach the Natural Heritage letter from the DNR. Indicate if any <br />additional habitat or species survey work has been conducted within the site and <br />describe results. <br />A review of the DNR Natural Heritage Inventory System database was conducted (LA- <br />965) for the area within approximately one mile of the project, and three species were <br />identified (see Table 6). Given the highly disturbed nature of the project site, there is <br />minimal likelihood of finding suitable habitat for these species. <br />Table 6: State -Listed Species Within the Review Area <br />c. Discuss how the identified fish, wildlife, plant communities, rare features, and ecosystems <br />may be affected by the project. Include a discussion on introduction and spread of <br />invasive species from the project construction and operation. Separately discuss effects <br />to known threatened and endangered species. <br />No impacts to fish, wildlife, plant communities, rare features, or ecosystems are <br />anticipated. <br />The proposed project would not result in the introduction of invasive species. Disturbed <br />areas would be reestablished using appropriate native and stabilization seed mixes. <br />d. Identify measures that will betaken to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects to fish, <br />wildlife, plant communities, and sensitive ecological resources. <br />No adverse effects to fish, wildlife, plant communities, and sensitive ecological resources <br />are anticipated as a result of the proposed project. <br />Bird -friendly construction methods will be used for the proposed residential and office <br />buildings such as outer building materials, window treatments, and lighting, to avoid and <br />minimize impacts to migrating birds to the extent practicable. <br />Rosedale Center EAW 14 February 2020 <br />
