b. Are any state-listed (endangered, threatened or special concern) species, rare <br />plant communities or other sensitive ecological resources on or near the site? X Yes <br />_No If yes, describe the resource and how it would be affected by the project. <br />Describe any measures that will be taken to minimize or avoid adverse impacts. <br />The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources was consulted if any rare <br />species or other significant natural features are known to occur within the <br />approximate one-mile radius of the proposed project. There is record of <br />Blanding's Turtle (Emydoidea blandingii), astate-listed threatened species, in the <br />area, though they have not been observed on the property. The Blanding Turtle is <br />astate threatened species and is declining in most of their range. There will likely <br />be no impacts of the species on this property due to the fact that there are no <br />wetlands in or near the mining area. <br />Provide the license agreement number LA-n/a and/or Division of Ecological <br />Resources contact number (ERDB: 20090142) from which the data were obtained <br />and attach the response letter from the DNR Division of Ecological Resources. <br />12. Physical impacts on water resources <br />Will the project involve the physical or hydrologic alteration -dredging, filling, <br />stream diversion, outfall structure, diking, and impoundment - of any surface <br />waters such as a lake, pond, wetland, stream or drainage ditch? _Yes X No <br />If yes, identify water resource affected and give the DNR Public Waters Inventory <br />number(s) if the water resources affected are on the PWI: Describe alternatives <br />considered and proposed mitigation measures to minimize impacts. <br />13. Water Use <br />Will the project involve installation or abandonment of any water wells, connection <br />to or changes in any public water supply or appropriation of any ground or surface <br />water (including dewatering)? _Yes _X No <br />If yes, as applicable, give location and purpose of any new wells; public supply <br />affected, changes to be made, and water quantities to be used; the source, duration, <br />quantity and purpose of any appropriations; and unique well numbers and DNR <br />appropriation permit numbers, if known. Identify any existing and new wells on the <br />site map. If there are no wells known on site, explain methodology used to <br />determine. <br />14.
