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. 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 three separate fuel tanks. These are all 1,000 gallon double walled above ground storage tanks. The tanks are registered in accordance with MPCA regulations and requirements and covered under Tiller’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 Tiller’s operating division Barton Enterprises, Inc., which includes over 600 absorbent pads, several pallet loads of absorbent floor dry and containment boom. 21. Traffic. Parking spaces added 0 . Existing spaces (if project involves expansion) 4 . Estimated total average daily traffic generated 0 . Estimated maximum peak hour traffic generated (if known) and time of occurrence. Provide an estimate of the impact on traffic congestion on 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. The proposed expansion will not impact existing daily or maximum peak hour traffic generation and traffic patterns will not be altered by the project. Traffic levels generated by the existing mining 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 9:00a.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 travels easterly on County Road 33 to the interchange at Highway 169. Under Tiller’s existing CUP, drivers are instructed to avoid traveling south on County Road 77 (Proctor Road) or east on County Road 33 unless they are delivering to local projects. 22. 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 EAW Guidelines about whether a detailed air quality analysis is needed.
