The subject lands on the reserve were designated as old field meadow in the original study. The lands are currently in agricultural use and farmed with corn crop. Recommendations to enhance this parcel of the reserve to improve natural habitat linkages have not yet been implemented. â€" This new option presents a change from the Environmental Reserve project plan as originally presented in the Class EA report. Accordingly, there is a need to prepare an Addendum to the Environmental Study Report. Following the Class EA requirements, an addendum shall describe the circumstances necessitating the change, the environmental implications of the change and what can be done to mitigate any negative environmental impacts.
