Item #01- Special Council Meeting - 01106114 <br />File #13-3638 & 13-3639 [Total Pages 99] <br />c. Project related use/storage of hazardous materials — Describe chemicalslhazardous materials <br />used/stored during construction and/or operation of the project including method of storage. Indicate the <br />number, location and size of any above or below ground tanks to store petroleum or other materials. <br />Discuss potential environmental effects from accidental spill or release of hazardous materials. Identify <br />measures to avoid, minimize or mitigate adverse effects from the use/storage of chemicals/hazardous <br />materials including source reduction and recycling. <br />Liquid fuels will be utilized by construction equipment and small quantities of fuel will be stored on site <br />during construction. Compressed air and gas cylinders may be used for construction purposes. Upon <br />completion of construction, individual home owner may own or store small quantities of hazardous <br />materials (for example, a gas can for lawn equipment). <br />Due to the small amount of hazardous materials utilized during construction and the relatively short time <br />frame of construction, it is believed construction activities will not constitute a significant risk of <br />releasing hazardous materials to the project site or adjacent areas. Given that it is unknown what <br />hazardous materials, or quantities, future homeowner may possess, it is difficult to extrapolate potential <br />effects or prevention strategies. <br />To prevent spills and environmental impacts, a spill prevention plan will be utilized by the construction <br />contractor. <br />c. Project related generation/storage of hazardous wastes — Describe hazardous wastes generated/stored <br />during construction and/or operation of the project. Indicate method of disposal. Discuss potential <br />environmental effects from hazardous waste handling, storage, and disposal. Identify measures to avoid, <br />minimize or mitigate adverse effects from the generation/storage of hazardous waste including source <br />reduction and recycling. <br />No hazardous wastes are anticipated to be produced by the project. if hazardous wastes are produced, the <br />Project developer will follow applicable standards and laws for storage and disposal of the waste. Future <br />residents of the Project may produce and store household hazardous wastes. <br />13. Fish, wildlife, plant communities, and sensitive ecological resources (rare features): <br />a. Describe fish and wildlife resources as well as habitats and vegetation on or in near the site. <br />A review of the Minnesota County Biological Survey (MBS) indicates there are no "Natural Communities" <br />within or immediately adjacent to the project area. The nearest resource is Lowry Woods approximately 0.5 <br />miles to the north, which is a Maple -Basswood forest. The woodland areas along the edge of the course likely <br />serve as habitat for birds and small mammals. A few of the ponds and creeks on the Project site appear to be <br />inhabited by crawfish. <br />b. Describe rare features such as state -listed (endangered, threatened or special concern) species, native plant <br />communities, Minnesota County Biological Survey Sites of Biodiversity Significance, and other sensitive <br />ecological resources on or within close proximity to the site. Provide the license agreement number (LA- <br />__) and/or correspondence number (ERDB ) from which the data were obtained and attach <br />the Natural Heritage letter from the DNS. Indicate if any additional habitat or species survey work has been <br />conducted within the site and describe the results, <br />Results from the NNIS database search will be forthcoming. <br />page 10 <br />
