Memo for Record
On May 4th, June 7th and September 20th the Rum Village site was visited to determine the extent to which any
plant communities dominated by native vegetation remained. Four significant ones were discovered, of which
two are quite impressive. All of the woodlands would become lush examples of the landscapes within which the
people of the Pokagon Band once lived and from which drew nearly all their resources. When burned and
appropriately thinned in the ancient way, these landscapes represent some of the more beautiful in the Midwest.
Although Rum Village is in Indiana, the coefficients of conservatism are those used by the state of Michigan, in
order to make these areas more comparable to the Band’s holdings in that state. It is expected that, as additional
surveys are conducted, the Floristic Quality Indices will rise, but that the Mean C values will change little.
SITE UNITS
There is a small, fairly degraded, but irreplaceable remnant woodlot off the south end of Maple Road. If burned
regularly and thinned appropriately, this Southwest Woods unit could be integrated into the public realm of the
proposed plan. No Indiana state-listed plant species were noted, nor are there any likely to persist there. This
woodland, if properly managed and disposed, would be in the line of sight for those entering the property off of
Route 23. What follows is an inventory of the species noted.

Off to the east of Maple Road, just as one enters from Prairie Avenue, is another very small Woodlot, a little
higher in quality. Its position as a flank to a well signed and designed entrance could be quite a statement and
emblem with regard to the nature of Pokagon Land and the beautiful way in which the people care for it.

Just off of Locust Street, west of the fine old house with the great Sugar Maple Tree, there is a wooded ridge
system that runs as far as the high tension lines. This is Southeast Woods unit is a remarkably intact remnant.
So far this spring, 88 native species have been recorded with a rare, high-quality mean coefficient of the
conservatism of 4.9. If the ambient landscape were cleaned up, restored and programmed appropriately, these
woods would be visible from throughout the site, a constant reminder of the beautiful land of the Pokagon Band
and of the gentle but knowledgeable way in which they care for their remnant landscapes. Although none were
noted during this initial inventory, if there are state-listed species at Rum Village, they are likely to be either in
this tract or in the West Woods.

Just southeast of the South Woods and west of Locust Road is a Wet Mesic unit, both of which have been
degraded by stormwater runoff. The quality could improve marginally if the wetland were to be burned annually,
but dramatic improvements cannot occur until the stormwater issues have been resolved.

A significant portion of the site has been either in tillage agriculture or intense pasture use. Most of these
Eurasian Meadow units are now dominated by Eurasian meadow species. Such areas and the ambient, heavily
pastured wooded districts ambient to them would be ideal areas in which to nestle a neighborhood. The wooded
district north of U.S. 20, along the south side of Prairie Avenue, is currently wooded, but since it has been
intensely tilled or pasture, the woods are not of remnant quality.

Wherever the Floristic Quality Assessment system has been applied across the country, we have found that the
Mean C values of most landscapes range from 0, in lawns, to 2 in most Eurasian meadows. In light of the fact
that about 90% of our native flora has a C value of 4 or greater, it is evident that the principal elements of our
native systems are virtually uninvolved in our landscapes today---which circumstance excludes most of our native
insects as well.
The great preponderance of our landscapes today register Floristic Quality Index values less than 20 and
essentially have no significance from a natural area perspective. Areas with I values higher than 35 possess
sufficient conservatism and richness to be of profound importance state-wide perspective. Areas that register in
the 50’s and higher are extremely rare and of paramount significance; for most states, such areas represent less
than 0.5% of the landscape today.
In well designed and implemented restorations, after five years of annual fire, one may expect the Mean C to
range from 2.5-3.9, with index values as high as 35. Obviously restorations can renew our landscape to beauty
and diversity far higher than the great proportion of our landscape, but they cannot replace and aboriginal
remnant.
Here at the South Bend site, both the Southeast and Southcentral Woods are quite high in quality, but on the
decline do to chronic fire suppression and overtaking by trees and invasive non-native shrubs. Annual fire in all
of the systems with Index values of 20 or higher can be maintained or will set out on a trajectory of improvement
and optimum biodiversity if a regular controlled burn were implemented. If fire is withheld, their quality and
beauty will continue to dissipate over time.
Sincerely,

Memo
On August 22, 2012, I surveyed Parcel 63 & 64, which lies south of Co. Rd 26, east of Nappanee St., in Elkhart,
Indiana. With the exceptions of an old 1.8-acre home site ¼ mile south of Co. Rd, off of Nappanee St. and a
substation nearly ½ mile east of the same home-site, also ¼ mile south of Co. Rd. 26, the entire parcel, as well as
Parcel 64, is in row-crop agriculture.
The data presented below are from the old home site, inventoried from a wooded fence row and driveway to a
defunct residence in the southwest corner of the parcel. The mean C of 2.3 is as high as it is only because there
are 3 native trees along the north fence line, with few other native species. There is little or no vegetative
infrastructure likely to provide habitat for listed organisms, nor is there any jurisdictional wetland I’m aware of.

Please note that the Indiana Natural Heritage Data Center relies on the
observations of many individuals for our data.
In most cases, the
information is not the result of comprehensive field surveys conducted
at particular sites.
Therefore, our statement that there are no
documented significant natural features at a site should not be
interpreted to mean that the site does not support special plants or
animals.
Due to the dynamic nature and sensitivity of the data, this information
should not be used for any project other than that for which it was
originally intended.
It may be necessary for you to request updated
material from us in order to base your planning decisions on the most
current information.
Thank you for contacting the Indiana Natural Heritage Data Center. You
may reach me at (317)232-8059 if you have any questions or need
additional information.

Dear Kirsten Williams:
I am responding to your request for information on the endangered, threatened, or rare (ETR) species,
high quality natural communities, and natural areas documented from a project area, Tribal Village and
Casino City, South Bend, Indiana. The Indiana Natural Heritage Data Center has been checked and there
are no Myotis septentrionalis occurrences documented near this project area. Also, there are no ETR
species and significant areas documented within 0.5 mile of the project area.
The information I am providing does not preclude the requirement for further consultation with the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as required under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973. If
you have concerns about potential Endangered Species Act issues you should contact the Service at
their Bloomington, Indiana office.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
620 South Walker St.
Bloomington, Indiana 47403-2121
(812)334-4261
At some point, you may need to contact the Department of Natural Resources' Environmental Review
Coordinator so that other divisions within the department have the opportunity to review your proposal.
For more information, please contact:

Please note that the Indiana Natural Heritage Data Center relies on the observations of many individuals
for our data. In most cases, the information is not the result of comprehensive field surveys conducted at
particular sites. Therefore, our statement that there are no documented significant natural features at a
site should not be interpreted to mean that the site does not support special plants or animals.

Due to the dynamic nature and sensitivity of the data, this information should not be used for any project
other than that for which it was originally intended. It may be necessary for you to request updated
material from us in order to base your planning decisions on the most current information.
Thank you for contacting the Indiana Natural Heritage Data Center. You may reach me at (317)232-8059
you have any questions or need additional information.
Sincerely,
Ronald P. Hellmich
