<br />States was consulted as a basis for estimating Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) generation for the proposed <br />development. It is estimated that 4.40 pounds of MSW will be generated per person per day. An average <br />household occupancy of 2.61 was applied to the estimated residential units based on US Census Bureau <br />2008-2012 data, and traffic analysis was referenced with a factor of 1.59 applied to the trips generated <br />based on US Department of Energy Vehicle Occupancy Rates for 2010. The resulting range of MSW <br />generated per year based upon the Zoning and Maximum Development Scenarios is 27,300 to 31,900 tons, <br />respectively. Per EPA document AP-42, Vol. I, Ch 2.4: Municipal Solid Waste Landfills, it is estimated that <br />the non-residential (commercial/industrial) waste stream will range between 33,900 to 39,600 tons per year <br />under Zoning and Maximum Development Scenarios. <br />The City of Arden Hills provides weekly curbside recycling service to single family through four-plex <br />residential homes, including townhomes. All apartment and multi-unit building owners and managers are <br />required to provide a recycling collection program for tenants. Recycling services are available locally for <br />commercial and industrial uses. <br />c.P/-D/ <br />ROJECT RELATED USESTORAGE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ESCRIBE CHEMICALSHAZARDOUS <br />// <br />MATERIALS USEDSTORED DURING CONSTRUCTION ANDOR OPERATION OF THE PROJECT INCLUDING <br />.I, <br />METHOD OF STORAGE NDICATE THE NUMBER LOCATION AND SIZE OF ANY ABOVE OR BELOW GROUND <br />.D <br />TANKS TO STORE PETROLEUM OR OTHER MATERIALS ISCUSS POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS FROM <br />.I,, <br />ACCIDENTAL SPILL OR RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS DENTIFY MEASURES TO AVOID MINIMIZE OR <br />// <br />MITIGATE ADVERSE EFFECTS FROM THE USESTORAGE OF CHEMICALSHAZARDOUS MATERIALS INCLUDING <br />.I. <br />SOURCE REDUCTION AND RECYCLING NCLUDE DEVELOPMENT OF A SPILL PREVENTION PLAN <br />Not required for an AUAR. <br />d.P/-D <br />ROJECT RELATED GENERATIONSTORAGE OF HAZARDOUS WASTES ESCRIBE HAZARDOUS WASTES <br />//.I <br />GENERATEDSTORED DURING CONSTRUCTION ANDOR OPERATION OF THE PROJECT NDICATE METHOD OF <br />.D,, <br />DISPOSAL ISCUSS POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS FROM HAZARDOUS WASTE HANDLING STORAGE <br />.I,, <br />AND DISPOSAL DENTIFY MEASURES TO AVOID MINIMIZE OR MITIGATE ADVERSE EFFECTS FROM THE <br />/. <br />GENERATIONSTORAGE OF HAZARDOUS WASTE INCLUDING SOURCE REDUCTION AND RECYCLING <br />Not required for an AUAR. <br />13.F,PC,SER(RF) <br />ISH LANT OMMUNITIES AND ENSITIVE COLOGICAL ESOURCES ARE EATURES <br />a.D. <br />ESCRIBE FISH AND WILDLIFE RESOURCES AS WELL AS HABITATS AND VEGETATION ON OR IN NEAR THE SITE <br />According to the Minnesota Land Cover Classification System (MLCCS), there are three primary cover types <br />within the AUAR study area: grassland, woodland, and impervious/developed. The grassland and <br />7 <br />impervious/developed areas are spread through the AUAR study area; the woodlands cover a much smaller <br />area (see Figure 7-1). The woodland areas identified in Figure 7-1 can be described as areas with scattered <br />woody vegetation with less than 15 percent canopy cover and an understory of smooth brome grass. The woody <br />vegetation primarily consists of small scrubby volunteer trees and shrubs generally less than 25 feet in height, <br />including cottonwood, juniper, box elder, Siberian elm, and Russian olive. This cover is indicative of a disturbed <br /> <br /> Land cover types were grouped based on similarity. Grassland includes grassland or emergent vegetation, grassland with <br />7 <br />sparse deciduous trees, short grasses on upland soils, shrubland, tall grassland, and 4-10% impervious cover with perennial <br />grasses. Woodland includes only upland deciduous woodland. Impervious/developed includes 26-50% impervious cover with <br />perennial grasses, 76-90% impervious cover, buildings with 76-90% impervious cover, and pavement with 76-90% impervious <br />cover. <br /> <br /> <br />July 2014 Final AUAR 17 <br />
