Some gravel mining continues on the site, <br />~nd a bituminous hot mix batch plant is located on the property. Gravel <br />stockpiles are located throughout the area. The gravel pit area, for the <br />most part, is devoid of significant vegetation. <br /> <br />North of the Anoka-Ramsey boundary, the project alignment passes into the <br />proposed Flintwood Hills subdivision. The land has been cultivated until <br />approximately 12 years ago and, except for a six-acre portion in the north- <br />east corner, has remained fallow since that time. In the center of the <br />property are two small hills wooded with scrub oak. Understory vegetation <br />in these open woods is generally absent. <br /> <br />.On the east side of the site are two wetland areas. The more southerly <br />wetland is on the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) protected waters <br />inventory. The northerly wetland, approximately 1/2 acre in size, is <br />seasonally wet, with no open water. It"~is not on the DNR protected waters <br />inventory. <br /> <br />Surrounding land use is varied. To the west of the proposed Flintwood <br />Hills subdivision is existing development. Land to the north is vacant, <br />and to the east, it is agricultural. The area south of County Road 116 <br />in section 36 is almost entirely industrial, with gravel mining, asphalt <br />mixing and general industrial use thepredominant activities. <br /> <br /> <br />
