4. Number of parking stalls, existing and additional <br /> Designated parking spaces and undesignated space are available within the campus for the plant <br /> operators, as well as contracted construction and maintenance personnel. Given that no more than two <br /> new permanent staff might be added, Great River Energy does not intend to add additional parking <br /> spaces specifically for the new combustion turbine operation. <br /> (Independent of the proposed project, Great River Energy is considering utilizing a portion of the current <br /> paved area on the south side of the ERERS for additional/overflow parking of business-related vehicles. <br /> The size/number of stalls is yet to be determine and is planned to be addressed as part of the site <br /> restoration when demolition is complete.The conceptual parking area is shown in Figure 4.) <br /> S. Is there proposed screening of the site? <br /> If the proposed unit were to be installed east of the existing 200 MW combustion turbine, existing trees <br /> along the west side of Highway 169 provide an effective screen.The current fence along this side of the <br /> facility also has a privacy screen. <br /> If the proposed unit were to be installed within the existing RDF Barn,the building would provide <br /> effective screening. <br /> 6. Proposed building materials <br /> 6.1. How do they comply with applicable design standards? <br /> The combustion turbine is comprised of modular or semi-modular components that would be brought <br /> on site and assembled together. Great River Energy is currently exploring weatherization issues with the <br /> equipment vendor. If enclosures are necessary for either project location, materials would be <br /> compatible for Elk River's meteorological conditions and any local building codes. <br /> 7. Signage—(at time of installation, a separate permit is required for each sign) <br /> We do not anticipate any changes to existing signage for the proposed combustion turbine. <br /> 7.1. How many? Not Applicable <br /> 7.2. Proposed sizes? Not Applicable <br /> 7.3. Locations? Not Applicable <br /> 7.4. What type? Not Applicable <br /> 8. Is there outdoor storage? <br /> As noted,the existing backup fuel oil storage tank will be sufficient to supply the proposed and existing <br /> combustion turbines.Accordingly,the proposed project is not expected to involve any additional <br /> permanent outdoor storage. During construction, materials and project components may be temporarily <br /> stored in close proximity to the final project site and/or within the existing RDF building. <br /> (Within the existing campus footprint, multiple outdoor storage areas are present. Independent of the <br /> proposed project, and part of the site restoration following demolition of the ERERS, Great River Energy <br /> is intending to relocate one of these existing storage yards to the former ERERS footprint area as shown <br /> in Figure 4.) <br /> Project Narrative 3 <br /> Great River Energy—Proposed Combustion Turbine Addition <br />
