blue bulletNIPSCO (Indiana): Permit issued 03/06/2006.

This plan pertains to certain gas and electric Rights of Way (ROW) owned and operated by the Northern Indiana Public Service Company, and one
easement owned by the Indiana-American Water Company, Inc hosting electrical facilities, which are maintained by NIPSCO.

 

Current and potential Karner blue butterfly habitat on NIPSCO properties consists of utility ROW, surrounded by adjacent oak savannas and lakeshore dunes. Past ROW maintenance included mowing every six years, which benefited the butterflies by acting as the disturbance necessary to restart succession and maintain the open areas that lupine needs to thrive. This maintenance can be performed seasonally in order to avoid or limit contact with lupine and Karner blue butterflies, which are active during periods between May and August. Emergency maintenance or repairs of the electric transmission lines, though, may be required at any time of the year, creating a potential operational conflict and a greater risk of butterfly disturbance or destruction due to vehicular or pedestrian traffic.
