We believe discretionary EAWs can be very effective for <br /> certain types of projects that potentially affect a large number of citizens, namely gravel pits <br /> and communications towers. We do not have any objections to the proposed project provided <br /> the Blanding's turtles guidelines are adhered to as proposed, and an enforceable reclamation <br /> plan is developed for closing the gravel pit at a reasonable point in time. <br /> If you have any questions regarding our comments, please contact Environmental Assessment <br /> Ecologist Michael North at 218-828-2433. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> areal/ <br /> Kathleen A.
