10. <br /> <br />11. <br /> <br />ae <br /> <br />Conservation. Properties adjacent to the north, south and west are zoned for both Mineral <br />Excavation and Agricultural Conservation. Active gravel mines are operating adjacent to <br />the north and south of the site and across Trunk Highway 169 to the west. Figure 5 in <br />Attachment A shows the properties zoned for mineral excavation in the surrounding <br />area. Rezoning for Mineral Excavation at this property is currently pending. <br /> <br />The information reviewed does not indicate environmental hazards due to past land use. <br /> <br />Cover types. Estimate the acreage of the site with each of the following cover types <br />before and after development: <br /> <br />Before After <br /> <br />Types 1-8 wetlands <br /> <br />15.51 17.51 <br /> <br />Wooded/forest 7.17 6.82 <br /> <br />Brush/Grassland <br /> <br />36.22 2.22 <br /> <br />Cropland 0 0 <br /> <br />Lawn/landscaping <br /> <br />0.80 0.80 <br /> <br />Impervious surfaces <br /> <br />0.53 0.53 <br /> <br />Other (Open Water) <br /> <br />0 32.35 <br /> <br />TOTAL 60.23 60.23 <br /> <br />If Before and After totals are not equal, explain why: <br /> <br />The estimated acreage of cover types at the Site is based on the percentage of various <br />cover types as determined from review of the aerial photographs and site survey. At this <br />time it is estimated that mining activities will occur in brush/grassland and wetland areas. <br />Some of the type 2 wetlands will be converted to type 5 wetlands and two small wetland <br />areas, one in the northern portion and one in the eastern portion of the site will be <br />impacted and mitigated on-site and using wetland credits from the adjacent site at the <br />required replacement ratios. A wetland Impact and Mitigation Map is included as Figure <br />10 in Attachment A. <br /> <br />Fish, wildlife and ecologically sensitive resources <br /> <br />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 />Fish and wildlife resources on and near the Site include the wetland areas located at the <br />Site. Alteration of the wetlands is anticipated to occur primarily as conversion of type 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
