David Flick, Principal and Founder, announces that the firm has successfully completed a Endangered Species Assessment for Clarkson Construction Company. The site is located at South Ridgeview Road and Kansas Highway 10. It is a temporary (4-5 years) setup for operation of concrete batch plant and appurtenant equipment parking for the KDOT Gateway Project.
The project is located within the known range of the endangered Mead’s milkweed, Terra Technologies had to first complete an endangered species survey on the parcel to determine whether or not the endangered plant was present at the site. The survey determined that Mead’s milkweed was absent from the site and the results were submitted to the USACE for confirmation. The USACE concurred with the findings of the survey and the site . The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism (KDWPT), Environmental Services Section, administers the Kansas non-game and Endangered Species Conservation Act. To that effect, proposed projects impacts within the probable range of a threatened or endangered species requires consultation with the KDWPT as to whether preferred habitat exists for the species of concern within the limits of proposed disturbance.
