Lino Lakes Main Street - AUAR 61 August 2025 the proposed project is not anticipated to have an adverse impact on the whooping crane. • Western Regal Fritillary: The proposed project may affect the western regal fritillary and/or suitable fritillary habitat, but disturbances are anticipated to be temporary in nature and/or insignificant given available foraging and breeding habitat in the surrounding landscape; therefore, long-term impacts to western regal fritillary are not anticipated. Additionally, the use of native species in seed mixes may be used to promote pollinator friendly habitat within the study area. Current climate trends may impact the availability of suitable habitat in the study area. • Salamander Mussel: The proposed project is not anticipated to affect the salamander mussel as a result of the lack suitable mussel habitat identified within the study area or directly adjacent to the study area. State-Listed Species The MnDNR Natural Heritage Review (NHR) letter identified the following state -listed species may be affected by the proposed project scenarios. Many state-listed plant species were identified as having the potential to be affected by the proposed development scenarios: • A Bristle Berry (Rubus stipulates) - State -listed endangered species • Autumn Fimbry (Fimbristylis autumnalis) - State -listed threatened species • Black Huckleberry (Gaylussacia baccata) – State -listed threatened species • Blunt-lobed Grapefern (Sceptridium oneidense) – State-listed threatened species • Clinton’s Bulrush (Trichophorum clintonii) – State -listed threatened species • Cross-leaved Milkwort (Polygala cruciata) – State-listed endangered species • Fuller’s Bristle-berry (Rubus fulleri) – State-listed threatened species • Lance -leaved Violet (Viola lanceolata) – State-listed threatened species • Pale Sedge (Carex pallescens) – State -listed endangered species • Slimspike Three-awn (Aristida longespica var. geniculata) – State-listed endangered species • St. Lawrence Grapefern (Sceptridium rugulosum) - State-listed threatened species • Swamp Blackberry (Rubus semisetosus) – State-listed threatened species • Toothcup (Rotala ramosior) – State -listed threatened species • Tubercled Rein Orchid (Platanthera flava var. herbiola) – State -listed threatened species • Twisted Yellow-eyed Grass (Xyris torta) – State -listed endangered species Blanding’s turtle (Emydoidea blandingii) is a state-listed threatened species has been documented in the vicinity of the study area. Bald and Golden Eagles Bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) have federal- level protections under the Bald and Golden Eagle Treaty Act (BGEPA) (16 U.S.C. 668-668d). Originally enacted in 1940, and since amended, BGEPA prohibits anyone without a permit issued by the Secretary of the Interior from take of bald or golden eagles, including their parts, nests, or eggs. In February 2024, the USFWS published a final rule pertaining to the issuance of Page 91 of 679
