Dear Sir:

Attached, please find additional comments which were provided by the MDNR's Forest, Wildlife and 11eritage Service pertinent to our review of the subject document. We appreciate your consideration and incorporation in the final report.

The comments are as follows:

In addition to the speci.:s mentioned in the "Special Species Status" section of the SEIS, the Wildlife and Heritage Division's Natural fleritage database indicates that there are two more records for species of concern that should be incorporated into that text. These are Spurred Butterfly-pea

' (Centrosema virginianum), a state rare species, and Blunt-leaved Gerardia (Agulinis obtusifolia), a state endangered species. The Centrosema record is recent, and was described as being along a fire road on the property, south of St. John's Creek and east of Lavell Creek. The Agalinis record is from 1979, and was more general, but suggests that this species could occur on the property in the appropriate habitat.

In adc'ition, the forested area on the project site contains potential Forest Interior Dwelling Bird liabitat. The conservation of this habitat is mandated within the Critical Area (COMAR 27.15.09.04) and strongly encouraged outside of the Critical Area. Consultation with Maryland Department of Natural Resources relative to this issue is required. ,
