The Project will generate minor amounts of additional traffic. The <br /> transportation analysis indicates that the existing roadway system can <br /> readily accomodate the expected traffic volumes,and the Council finds <br /> that additional traffic does not have the potential for significant . <br /> environmental effect. <br /> iv. Golf course•use of agricultural chemicals has a potential to impact <br /> surface and groundwater. However, extensive water quality modeling <br /> performed to satisfy EAW requirements, including a nutrient budget <br /> analysis for Long Lake,indicates that the proposed NURP ponds and <br />. • . related site design elements provide a system which is predicted to <br /> � result in an overall reduction in the pollutant loadings to Long Lake <br /> as compared to runoff associated with the current land use. The <br /> Proposer has indicated and the City will likely require a commitment <br /> � to sound environmental management of the golf course, including <br /> implementation of such practices as turf management,integrated pest <br /> management, use of Best Management Practices including use and <br /> management of grass swales,and recycling of runoff via a pond-based <br /> irrigation system. The Council finds that the presence and use of <br /> agricultural chemicals does not have a potential for significant <br /> environmental effects. <br /> b. Cumulative potential effects of related or anticipated future projects. <br /> i. The City of Orono anticipates future rural residential growth <br /> throughout the surrounding area The cumulative environmental effects <br /> • of the Project combined with other nearby developments, will be <br /> �typical of urbanization: increased land use, higher traffic volumes, � <br /> increased water use, etc. <br /> c.
