d. If a, b, or c were marked Yes, di;iC;.‘S3 any cumulative environmental impacts resulting from this project and the other develc-onisn*. The cumulative environmental effects of th e g\.‘h'course project combined with other nearby developments, will be typical of urbanizatiitv, increased land use, higher traffic volumes, increased water use, etc. 31. Other Potential Environmental Impacts if the project may cause any adverse environmental impacts which were not addressed by items 1 to 28, identify and discuss them here, along with any proposed mitigation. None 32. Summary of Issues (This section need not be completed if the EAW is being done for EIS scoping; instead, address relevant issues in the draft Scoping Decision document which must accompany the EAW.) List any impacts and issues identified above that may require further investigation before the project is commenced. Discuss any alternatives or mitigative measures that have been or may be considered for these impacts and issues, including those that have been or may be ordered as permit conditions. Wetland impacts will be mitigated in accordance with the 1996 Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act and the Federal Clean Water Act. The project has been planned to minimize future environmental impact. Many alternatives have been analyzed to minimize impacts to wetlands, water quality of Long Lake, stormwater runoff, traffic, etc.. Feasible alternatives have been incorporated into the current design. A 43 acre Big Woods remnant will be reduced by approximately 49.7%. Alternative measures to mitigate the project's impact on the Big Woods remnant will be analyzed and considered. However, the cities of Orono and Medina do not have regulations in place or authority to require preservation of the Big Woods remnant. Further analysis will be conducted regarding the need for repair or structural rehabilitation of local roads, and regarding the need for safety improvements at intersections on County Road 6.
