manure, sludge and ash, produced during construction and operation. Identify method and location of disposal. For projects generating municipal solid waste, indicate if there is a source separation plan; describe how the project will be modified for recycling. If hazardous waste is generated, indicate if there is a hazardous waste minimisation plan and routine hazardous waste reduction assessments. A minimal amount of solid waste is generated at the existing facility. The waste is stored in a dumpster located in the processing area that is picked up on a regular basis. b. Identify any toxic or hazardous materials to be used or present at the site and identify measures to be used to prevent them from contaminating groundwater. If the use of toxic or hazardous materials will lead to a regulated waste, discharge or emission, discuss any alternatives considered to minimize or eliminate the waste, discharge or emission. Toxic or hazardous materials will not be used or present on site. c. Indicate the number, location, size and use of any above or below ground tanks to store petroleum products or other materials, except water. Describe any emergency response containment plans. There will be no fuel storage on the subject property. The existing facility contains separate fuel tanks ~~hich are 1,000 gallon double-walled above ground storage tanks. The tanks are registered in accordance with MPCA regulations and requirements and covered under Plaisted's existing Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC Plan). In the event of a release, the site has a spill response kit (absorbent pads, safety supplies, etc.), front-end loaders, skid-steer loaders and material (sand and aggregate) to contain and dike the spill. The facility also has access to the spill response equipment of Plaisted main operations facility, which includes over significant numbers and types of absorbent pads, several pallet loads of absorbent floor dry and containment boom. 21. Traffic. Parking spaces added: Existing spaces (if project involves expansion): Estimated total average daily traffic generated: Estimated maximum peak hour traffic generated and time of occurrence: Indicate source of trip generation rates used in the estimates. If the peak hour traffic generated exceeds 250 vehicles or the total daily trips exceeds 2,500, a traffic impact study must be prepared as pm-t of the EAi~ Using the format and procedures described in the Minnesota Department of Transportation's Traffic Impact Study Guidance (available at.• http://ww~v.oim.dot.state.nzn.us/access/pdfs/Chapter%205.pdfl or a similar local guidance, provide an estimate of the impact on traffic congestion on affected roads and describe any trafE`ic improvements necessary. The analysis must discuss the project's impact on the regional transportation system. The proposed project will not impact existing daily or maximum peak hour traffic generation and traffic patterns will not be altered. Traffic levels generated by the existing Honing facility are seasonal and vary with market demand. During the mining season, average daily truck trips from the facility is approximately 225. Peak hour usually occurs from 8:00 a.m. to 9:OOa.m. or 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Trucks leaving the facility during the peak hour are estimated to be 45. Recent improvements to area roads include the lowering and realignment of County Roads 33 and 77 and the construction of an interchange at the intersection of County Road 33 and Trunk Highway 169. The improved County Roads include turn lanes and acceleration lanes and the interchange allows trucks to safely enter and exit Trunk Highway 169. Trucks access the operations and stockpiling area from the new portion of County Road 33. The majority of truck traffic from the site travels easterly on County Road 33 to the interchange at Highway169. 22. Vehicle-related air emissions. Estimate the effect of the project's traffic generation on air quality, 7
