Under existing conditions, most of the area is <br />used for agricultural production and few remnants of a historical plant community exist. Few other natural <br />resources are located within one mile of the study area. A query of the Department of Natural Resources <br />Natural Heritage Information System database (License Agreement No. 1003) showed that there is one <br />known occurrence of the Blanding’s turtle (Emydoidea blandingii) located to the southeast within one mile <br />of the study area. A mapped complex of Public Waters Wetlands are located at the north end of the study <br />area and includes delineated Wetland G. To the west of the study area across I-35 is DNR Public Waters <br />Basin Peltier Lake (DNR PWI No. 02000400) which also includes Rice Creek (DNR PWI No. M-059) flowing <br />through the basin. To the north of the study area is Hardwood Creek (DNR PWI No. M-059-009) which <br />connects to Rice Creek at the north end of Peltier Lake. Based on the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s <br />2022 impaired waters list, Peltier Lake has impaired uses of aquatic consumption and aquatic recreation <br />and has an approved TMDL for mercury and nutrients. Hardwood Creek is also listed with an impaired use <br />of aquatic life (AQL) and has an approved TMDL for dissolved oxygen and fish bioassessments. Peltier Lake <br />is also mapped by the Minnesota County Biological Survey as having areas of rare species and native plant <br />communities with a moderate biological significance. These areas don’t extend into the study area.
