If yes, describe the sources,characteristics, duration, and quantities or intensity, and any proposed i measures to mitigate adverse impacts. Also identify the locations of sensitive receptors in the vicinity and estimate the impacts on these receptors. Noise: Typical construction noise is expected, but no sensitive receptors are in the immediate project area. The city will enforce its normal hours for construction of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Dust: Even with the lake dewatered there should be enough moisture content left in the sediment that dust will not be a problem. The city will include a clause in the specifications for the project that watering as needed is required to hold dust down. Water for this is readily available at the project site from the Elk River. 26. Are any of the following resources on or in proximity to the site: a. archeological,historical,or architectural resources? Yes x_No b. prime or unique farmland? Yes _x_No c. designated parks,recreation areas,or trails? _x_Yes No d. scenic views and vistas? _x_Yes No e. other unique resources Yes _x_No If any items are answered Yes,describe the resource and identify any impacts on the resources due to the project. Describe any measures to be taken to minimize or avoid adverse impacts. A query of the Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office revealed no archeological, • historical, or architectural resources that will be affected by the project. City owned Orono Beach Park is on Lake Orono, but it is not on a lobe of the lake where construction activities are proposed. The timing of the project, late in the swimming season, should help minimize the impact. The lake itself could be considered a scenic view. However, the project is to benefit the lake and will not ultimately effect the aesthetics. 27. Will the project create adverse visual impacts? (Examples include: glare from intense lights; lights visible in wilderness areas;and large visible plumes from cooling towers or exhaust stacks. Yes _x No If yes, explain. 28. Compatibility with Plans Is the project subject to an adopted local comprehensive land use plan or any other applicable land use,water,or resource management plan of a local, regional, state, or federal agency? _x_Yes No If yes, identify the applicable plan(s), discuss the compatibility of the project with the provisions of the plan(s), and explain how any conflicts between the project and the plan(s)will be resolved. If no,explain. The City of Elk River's comprehensive plan, which includes a master park plan, recognizes the lake as a resource for the community both economically and recreationally. A project that improves the lake is compatible with these plans.
