5 . 4. 3 Sensitive Plant Species <br /> Surveys have not identified any of the species which have the potential <br /> to occur in the permit area, nor do NDDB records indicate any such <br /> observations . These findings have led to a determination that no <br /> significant environmental effects will occur relative to sensitive plant <br /> species . <br /> 5 . 4 . 4 Sensitive Animal Species <br /> It is believed that the proposed project area will not pose any <br /> significant impacts to the sensitive animal species which could utilize <br /> the various habitats . Reconnaissance surveys have not recorded the <br /> presence of any sensitive animal species or their signs in these <br /> habitats . <br /> The use of only a portion of the 162 acres will insure that resident and <br /> _ migratory species such as the Swainson ' s hawk and burrowing owl will <br /> have habitat available during the quarry ' s lifespan, although it should <br /> be noted that none were identified in the total property holding . <br /> Buffer zones on the permit perimeter will provide annual grassland <br /> habitat for the burrowing owl and other species should they move onto <br /> the permit area . <br /> Impacts are viewed as insignificant in consideration of the preceding <br /> factors and absence of sensitive animal species sightings . <br /> Landmark Lathrop Group, LLC <br /> - 4 - February 3, 2000 <br />
