Stormwater Permit All hazardous materials will be removed from the Project site upon completion <br />of construction. <br />Project-Related Generatlon/Storage ofl�azardous L�astes <br />Hazardous waste stoYage and disposal associated with construction activities will comply with the <br />NPDES Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan during periods of construction. Following <br />construcrion, the development will not geneYate hazaYdous wastes. <br />2.4.1.5 Fish, Wildlife, Plant Communities, and Sensitive Ecological Resources (Rare <br />Features) <br />Fish and Wlldlife Resources <br />Ecological land units foY the pYoject aYea have been mapped and defined in the Ecological <br />Classification SyTstem (ECS), which has been adopted byT the Minnesota DNR. The project location <br />occurs in the Anoka Sand Plain subsection (222Mc). The Anoka Sandplains subsecrion laYgely <br />consists of a broad, flat, sandyT lake plain that historically consisted of oak savanna and upland <br />Prairies. The Project occurs within the northern Twin Ciries metropolitan area and surrounding <br />lands now largelyT consist of urban development. <br />The Project site itself largelyT consists of wooded and wetland areas. Appro�mately 160 acres of <br />�vooded lands are present across the site. Based on historic aerial photograph�T approximatel�T 62 of <br />those wooded acYes used to be cultivated foY agricultural pYoduction through 2005, afteY which the <br />land was left uncultivated and naturallyT developed into its current state. <br />Wetlands comprise approximately 71 acres of the site. This includes multiple wetland communities <br />including TyTpe 1— Floodplain Forest, TyTpe 2— Fresh (wet) Meadow, and TyTpe 5— Shallow Open <br />Water. Approximately 18 acres of the current wetland area on site consists of land that had <br />previousl�T been mined as part of a gravel pit. Portions of these areas have depths up to <br />approximatel�r 20'. As a result, these areas function more as deep-water habitats rather than <br />wetlands. <br />Rare Features <br />There �vere t��o areas of iVlinnesota CounnT Biological Surve�T Sites of BiodiversityT Significance <br />located within the pYoject area. These areas weYe both paYt of the MBS site "Elk RiveY 36 <br />Westcentral" and were given a biodiversityT significance rank of `Below". A U.S. Fish & Wildlife <br />Service Official Species List foY the PYoject site listed one fedeYally listed threatened species, the <br />Northern Long-Eared Bat, and one candidate species, the Monarch Butterfly, that may potentially <br />be affected by the PYoject TheYe weYe no critical habitats mapped tivitl�in the pYoject site. The U.S. <br />Fish & Wildlife Service Official Species List can be seen in Exhibit C. <br />Natural Heritage Information Sy stem (NHIS) data for Sherburne CountyT has been obtained byT ISG <br />via a license agreement with the Minnesota DNR (L.A-1040). A review of the database identified 1 <br />rare feature within the immediate vicinityT of the Project site that could have the potential to be <br />adversely affected by the pYoposed project This raYe feature was the Black Sanshell musseL The <br />
