Cyphers Logistic Park AUAR 47 March 2022 Bat may use attics, bridges, and buildings for hibernating. In summer, the species is often found within forested habitats, especially around wetlands. Summer roosts may include under loose tree bark, in buildings, behind signs or shutters, caves, mines, and quarry tunnels. A record for Higgins eye (Lampsilis higginsii), a federally endangered species, is located within Washington County. The preferred habitat for this species is larger rivers with deep water and moderate currents. A record for snuffbox mussel (Epioblasma triquetra), a federally endangered species, is located within Washington County. The preferred habitat for this species is small to medium sized creeks with a swift current. A record for spectaclecase (Cumberlandia monodonta), a federally endangered species, is located within Washington County. The preferred habitat for this species is in large rivers where they can shelter from the main force of the current. A record for winged mapleleaf (Quadrula fragosa), a federally endangered species, is located within Washington County. The preferred habitat for this species is in riffles with clean gravel, sand, or rubble bottoms and in clear, high quality water. A record for monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus), a federal candidate species, is located within Washington County. The preferred habitat for this species is anywhere milkweed is present, including fields, roadside ditches, open areas, or wet areas. A record for the r usty patched bumble bee (Bombus affinis), a federally listed endangered species, is located within Washington County. The preferred habitat for this species includes grasslands and tallgrass prairies. Although the AUAR s tudy a rea is located within a high potential zone for the rusty patched bumble bee, the site has been previously cultivated for agricultural use and does not contain natural prairie vegetation. State-Listed Threatened and Endangered Species Based on a review of the Natural Heritage Information System (NHIS) for state -listed threatened, endangered, and special concern species (per license agreement LA-965), there are no records within the AUAR study a rea and three records within one mile of the AUAR s tudy a rea: Red- shouldered hawk, least darter, and rusty-patched bumble bee. A record for the Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus), a state-listed special concer n species, is located within a one -mile radius of the project site. The preferred habitat for this species includes large tracts of mature deciduous forest with scattered wetland openings. A record for the Least Darter (Etheostoma microperca), a state-lis ted special concern species, is located within a one -mile radius of the project site. The preferred habitat for this species includes freshwater streams and lakes. A record for the Rusty-patched Bumble Bee (Bombus affinis), a federally listed endangered s pecies, is located within a one-mile radius of the project site. The AUAR s tudy area is also entirely within a High Potential Zone for the rusty-patched bumble bee. Disturbed areas will be reseeded using native seed mixes; therefore, no long-term adverse impacts are anticipated.
