NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit inspections. Appropriate dust control best management practices (such as soil wetting, misting/water vapor, and hydraulic additives) may be implemented (upon inspection or public complaint) by the contractor as necessary to control dust from leaving the Project site during all phases of construction. Specific dust control best management practices will be determined based on severity, weather conditions (i.e. wind speed), and current site conditions. Dust and odors caused from vehicles parked within driveways and along streets will vary depending on the number and types of vehicles actively moving in one area and current weather conditions. Pollutants generated from vehicle exhausts may concentrate and linger (possibly where vehicles congregate) which may cause a short-term odor that eventually dissipates. 2.4.1.9 Noise Existing noise in the Project area includes vehicle traffic from adjacent roads and noise generated from the outdoor recreational facility to the south. Sensitive receptors located within proximity to the project site include adjacent residential homes. Exterior noise while construction is taking place may range from 65-95 dBA. Post -construction exterior noise is anticipated to be generated from intermittent traffic and recreational activities. All exterior noise is expected to be less than the State of Minnesota noise rules in a residential land use setting (<65 dBA daytime & <55 dBA nighttime). Nearby residential homes may experience a temporary increase in noise duration and frequency during construction; however, these noises will be conducted during restricted hours. Post construction noise will be typical of surrounding residential areas and will not exceed the State of Minnesota statutory limits for residential receptors (NAC 1), Minnesota Rules 7030.0040, therefore, any noise anticipated from standard operations and construction activities will not result in a decreased quality of life. 2.1.1.10 Transportation Currently the site has no parking stalls. Post construction there will be, including the ghost plats, 609 housing units which will all have garages and driveways for parking. Additionally, street parking will be available across much of the Project site. A detailed breakdown of site parking is available in the Parking Study included in Exhibit F —Parking Study. A detailed breakdown of site traffic is available in the Traffic Impact Analysis Report is included in the EAW. The project is estimated to generate 441 trips at peak hour traffic on weekday mornings (7:00 AM to 8:00 AM) and 548 trips at peak hour on weekday afternoons (3:00 PM to 4:00 PM). Estimates were generated utilizing the ITE Trip Generation Manual (11th Edition). The project will result in an increase to local traffic. A number of recommended improvements to the public roadway network have been included within the Traffic Impact Analysis Report. Examples include adding dedicated turn lanes to intersections and reevaluating posted speed limits.
