<br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Hs. Elizabeth HcCarty <br /> <br />2. <br /> <br />I <br />, I <br /> <br />or critical habitat, consultation pursuant to Section 7 of the Endangered <br />Species Act should be requested from this office. If a "no affect" <br />determination is made, further consultation may not be necessary. However. a <br />copy of the "no affect" determination for the proposed project should be sent <br />to this office for our concurrence. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Our review has also revealed that a number of candidate species for Federal <br />listing presently exist within Pipestone County. These include the Dakota <br />skipper butterfly (Hesoera dacotae), loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovieianus) , <br />plains topminnow (Fundulus sciadicus), and the Topeka shiner (Notroois tristis <br />- tooeka). Although these .candidate" species are afforded no legal <br />protection under the Endangered Species Act, they are species of special <br />concern that should be considered in project planning. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />If you have any questions concerning our letter or we can be of further <br />assistance, please call Hr. Dick Tolbers of my staff at (612) 725-3548. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />These comments have been prepared under the authority of and in accordance <br />with provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. We will <br />provide you or the Corps with our Fish & Wildlife Coordination Act comments <br />when more specific information becomes available regarding what structural and <br />nonstructural measures are being considered by the Corps to reduce the <br />flooding problems within the City of Pipestone and/or along Pipestone Creek. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~~,~~ <br /> <br />~ynn M.
