Regulatory Context
Northern Minnesota BAs are lynx and wolf; prairie and agricultural BAs are skippers, Topeka shiner, and rusty patched bumble bee. DNR Heritage review sits beside USFWS. WCA findings have to match the BA's wetland-dependent species story. Atlensa checks the BA against the EAW, the WCA file, and current Heritage results.
