No Build Alternative<br />
Alternative 4 will not change the existing condition.<br />

Route 1 Alternative (Great Lakes Pipeline)<br />
• CNF: No effect or beneficial effect.<br />
• DNR: No effect. Botrychium pallidum, B. rugulosum, and B. simplex are known to occur on Route<br />
1. Where individuals or populations of these species are present within the clearing area of the<br />
transmission corridor, adverse effects may occur adjacent to clearing. While these species are<br />
adapted to openings, individuals may be adversely affected where clearing of canopy takes<br />
place above individuals adapted to shaded habitat. These species tend to populate the<br />
southern, shaded edge of clearings and will likely find habitat and occupy this future edge of the<br />
widened corridors.DRM: No effect or beneficial effect. Botrychium dissectum, B. pallidum, B.<br />
rugulosum, and B. simplex are known to occur on Route 1. Where individuals or populations of<br />
these species are present within the clearing area of the transmission corridor, adverse effects<br />
may occur adjacent to clearing. While the species B. dissectum, B. pallidum, B. rugulosum and B.<br />
simplex are adapted to openings, individuals may be adversely affected where clearing of<br />
canopy takes place above individuals adapted to shaded habitat. These species tend to populate<br />

Route 2 Alternative (US 2)<br />
• CNF: No effect or beneficial effect. The project may adversely impact individuals, but is not likely<br />
to result in a loss of viability in the Planning Area, nor cause a trend forward Federal listing.<br />
• DNR: No effect. Botrychium pallidum, B. rugulosum, and B. simplex are known to occur on Route<br />

• DRM: No effect or beneficial effect. Botrychium dissectum, B. pallidum, B. rugulosum, B. simplex,<br />
and Hierochloe odorata are known to occur on Route 2. Where individuals or populations of<br />
these species are present within the clearing area of the transmission corridor, adverse effects<br />
