Determination of the Necessity of an Environmental Impact Statement for the Long Lake Improvement Project Page 8 J. Traffic and Vehicle-Related Air Emissions There will be no environmental effects from traffic or vehicle-related air emissions because the Project will not result m an increase in traffic. K.Stationary Source Air Emissions There will be no environmental effects from stationary source air emissions because the Project does not involve any stationary sources of air emissions. L.Dust, Odors. Noise The type and extent of possible negative effects of dust, odors and noise are addressed in Section 25 of the EAW and in the .MCWD’s response to the City of Orono. Dust and nc'se would only be a concern during construction of the Project and, as noted in the EAW, construction activities are scheduled for a time period which will minimize the dust generation. Noise during construction is not anticipated to be significant. The Project is not expected to generate odors. The cumulative potential effects of related or anticipated future projects have also been considered by the MCWD in making its determination of no significant impact. Because dust and noise will not be a long-term concern at the Project site, the Project will not result in a minor or collectively significant impact. As noted above, the Project is not expected to generate odors. Potential environmental impacts due to dust, noise and odor are subject to regulation and. if necessary, mitigation by ongoing public regulatory authority. As noted in section 8 of the E.-^W. the project is the subject of extensive review by various federal, state and local agencies. These agencies will address any potentially negative ramifications of the project in the permitting process. After consideration of the factors set out in Minnesota Rule 4410.1700. the MCWD determines that the Project will not result in significant environmental effects on due to dust. odors or noise. 066/21090508 8/11/95
