Cyphers Logistic Park AUAR 49 March 2022 <br />Tree removal mitigation will be implemented if the maximum allowable amount of tree removal is exceeded as required by City of Lake Elmo’s code of ordinances § 154.257. Some green space <br />and native landscaping will be provided within the proposed development scenarios. Pollinator friendly seed mixes will be used to promote pollinator habitat. <br />Effects to Threatened and Endangered Species Disturbed areas will be reseeded using native seed mixes to promote pollinator habitat; <br />therefore, no long -term adverse impacts are anticipated to the Rusty-Patched Bumble Bee and Monarch butterfly. <br />Removal of trees and any potential rusty patched bumble bee habitat will be completed during <br />the inactive season (November 1 – March 31) to minimize impacts to the northern long eared bat and rusty patched bumble bee. <br />In order to avoid impacts to the Least Darter , proper erosion and sediment control practices will be implemented and maintained during construction near wetlands and will be incorporated into <br />a stormwater management plan. <br />Invasive Species Invasive species will be controlled on-site during construction and landscaping will not include <br />any DNR identified invasive species . Additionally, best management practices will be followed when relo cating equipment from other sites. <br />14. Historic Properties <br />Describe any historic structures, archeological sites, and/or traditional cultural properties on <br />or in close proximity to the site. Include 1) historic designations; 2) known artifact areas; and 3) architectural features. Attach letter received from the Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). Discuss any anticipated effects to historic properties during project <br />construction and operation. Identify measures that will be taken to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects to historic properties. <br />AUAR Guidance: For an AUAR, contact with the State Historic Preservation Office and State Archeologist is required to determine whether there are areas of potential impacts to these resources. If <br />any exist, an appropriate site survey of high probability areas is needed to address the issue in more detail. The mitigation plan must include mitigation for any impacts identified. <br />Scenario 1, 2, 3, and 4 A SHPO database review was requested in November 2021. The database review identified no <br />historic sites within proximity to the AUAR s tudy area. Therefore, there are no impacts to nearby archaeological, historical, and/or architectural resources anticipated as part of this development. A letter from the State Historic Preservation Office is provided in Appendix B. <br />15. Visual <br />Scenic views or vistas may include spectacular viewing points along lakes, rivers or bluffs; <br />virgin timber tracts; prairie remnants; geological features; waterfalls; specimen trees; or plots of wildflowers. Describe any project related visual effects such as vapor plumes or glare from
