18. Solid wastes, hazardous wastes,storage tanks. a. Describe types, amounts and compositions of solid or hazardous wastes, including solid animal 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 minimization plan and routine hazardous waste reduction assessments. Biosolids produced on site will be sent to Great River Energy for incineration. 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. Wastewater treatment chemicals including ferric chloride and chlorine will be properly stored and contained. 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 are no known above or below ground tanks used to store petroleum products. The wastewater treatment chemicals used will be properly stored above ground with secondary containment. 19. Traffic. Parking spaces added: 0 Existing spaces (if project involves expansion): Estimated total average daily traffic generated: Less than 10 Estimated maximum peak hour traffic generated (if known) and its timing: Provide an estimate of the impact on traffic congestion affected roads and describe any traffic improvements necessary. If the project is within the Twin Cities metropolitan area, discuss its impact on the regional transportation system. 20. Vehicle-related air emissions. Estimate the effect of the project's traffic generation on air quality, including carbon monoxide levels. Discuss the effect of traffic improvements or other mitigation measures on air quality impacts. Note: If the project involves 500 or more parking spaces, consult Environmental Assessment Worksheet(EAW) Guidelines about whether a detailed air quality analysis is needed. Vehicle-related air emissions will temporarily increase during construction due to the use of heavy, diesel powered, construction equipment. The site will provide parking for the maximum number of city employees on site and a likely number of visitors at the site at one time. The new facility will not affect traffic to the site. 21. Stationary source air emissions. Describe the type, sources, quantities and compositions of any emissions from stationary sources of air emissions such as boilers, exhaust stacks or fugitive dust sources. Include any hazardous air pollutants (consult EAW Guidelines for a listing), any greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxides), and ozone- depleting chemicals (chlorofluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons or sulfur hexafluoride). Also describe any proposed pollution prevention techniques and proposed air pollution control devices. Describe the impacts on air quality. The project does not include the addition of any stationary sources of air emissions. 22. Odors, noise,and dust.Will the project generate odors, noise or dust during construction or during operation? ® Yes ❑ No If yes, describe sources,characteristics, duration, quantities or intensity and any proposed measures to mitigate adverse impacts. Also identify locations of nearby sensitive receptors and estimate impacts on them. Discuss potential impacts on human health or quality of life. (Note:fugitive dust generated by operations may be discussed at item 23 instead of here.) Dust and noise will be generated daily during the construction phase of the proposed project which is estimated at 12 to 18 months. Measures to mitigate dust emissions from construction activities include application of water to areas actively graded and avoidance of construction activities during periods of high winds. Additional dust controls will include minimizing the amount of open graded areas as well as watering regularly, particularly in areas with soils susceptible to wind erosion. Following completion of construction, the site will be final graded, seeded and mulched to revegetate disrupted areas and minimize dust. Odors are reduced at the facility with enclosed pretreatment facilities,covered final clarifiers and biosolids storage facilities. The primary source of noise pollution at a WWTF is the emergency generator. This equipment is used only in the event of a power outage or to reduce peak electric demands. 23. Nearby resources.Are any of the following resources on or in proximity to the site? Projects should search the State Historic Preservation Office's (SHPO) National Register of Historic Places database by calling 651-259-3453. *Note: Project proposers must contact the SHPO at Thomas.cinadr(cbmnhs.oro or 651-259-3453 to request a database review to obtain information on any known historical or archaeological sites in the project area. www.pca.state.mn.us 651-296-6300 800-657-3864 TTY 651-282-5332 or 800-657-3864 • Available in alternative formats wq-wwtp2-20 • 8117112 Page 6 of 7
