Bemidji – Grand Rapids Biological Assessment and Evaluation Species Few‐flowered spike‐rush Eleocharis quinqueflora Closed gentian Gentiana andrewsii Limestone oak fern Gymnocarpium robertianim Sweet grass Hierchloe odorata Butternut Juglans cinerea Route 1 Alternative Route 2 Alternative Route 3 Alternative Species present in vicinity? Determination of effect Species present in vicinity? Determination of effect Species present in vicinity? Determination of effect No documented observations – Habitat has been surveyed. Wetland impacts will be minimized through BMPs and avoidance to the greatest extent possible. Impacts to habitat for this species are expected to be highly localized at pole locations. Hydrological impacts are not expected No documented observations – This species is typical of open wet areas. Where clearing occurs, this species would benefit from increased light availability. No documented observations – Suitable habitat extensively surveyed with no documented occurrences. Where clearing of coniferous swamps occurs, individuals present may be adversely impacted. Forest clearing will be limited to the extent necessary to construct and operate the project. Yes – One EP documented population in the Route. This species is typical of open wet and dry areas. Where clearing occurs, this species would benefit from increased light availability. Known populations will be avoided by creating work exclusion zones where construction activities will be prohibited. No documented observations – Where clearing of mesic, lowland, and riparian forest occurs, individuals present may be adversely impacted. Loss of habitat will occur as ongoing maintenance will prevent tree species form achieving maturity. Forest clearing will be limited to extent necessary to construct and operate the project. CNF, DNR & DRM: No impact No documented observations – Habitat has been surveyed. Wetland impacts will be minimized through BMPs and avoidance to the greatest extent possible. Impacts to habitat for this species are expected to be highly localized at pole locations. Hydrological impacts are not expected DRM: Beneficial impact. CNF & DNR: Not listed. CNF & DRM: May adversely impact individuals, but not likely to result in a loss of viability in the Planning Area, nor cause a trend toward Federal listing. DNR: Not listed. DRM: Beneficial impact.

No documented observations – Suitable habitat extensively surveyed with no documented occurrences. Where clearing of coniferous swamps occurs, individuals present may be adversely impacted. Forest clearing will be limited to the extent necessary to construct and operate the project. Yes – 1 EP and 2 BGR documented populations within the Route.

Determination of effect Species present in vicinity? Determination of effect Species present in vicinity? Determination of effect No documented observations – Suitable habitat extensively surveyed with no documented occurrences. Where clearing of coniferous swamps occurs, individuals present may be adversely impacted. Forest clearing will be limited to the extent necessary to construct and operate the project. Yes – 4 EP and one DNR and CNF documented population in the Route. Where clearing of coniferous swamps occurs, individuals present may be adversely impacted. Forest clearing will be limited to the extent necessary to construct and operate the project. Where possible, the route would be shifted to avoid known populations, and work exclusion zones established to keep construction activities away from known occurrences. If avoidance is not possible, individuals present under cleared canopy would be adversely affected. No documented observations – Suitable habitat extensively surveyed with no documented occurrences. Where clearing of coniferous swamps occurs, individuals present may be adversely impacted. Forest clearing will be limited to the extent necessary to construct and operate the project.
