Although chemical substances may be transported over the roadways in the project area, their use or storage on a permanent basis is not associated with the proposed project, other than in small quantities typical of residential, retail, and office use. 14. Solid Wastes, Hazardous Wastes, Storage Tanks. Solid Waste Demolition of existing structures to allow for redevelopment will generate waste materials. In addition to typical construction materials, it is possible that asbestos and other hazardous materials may be present in the structures to be demolished. Additional investigation will be needed to ensure that demolition of buildings and disposal of materials/debris is conducted in an appropriate manner in accordance with federal, state and local regulations. Construction activities will also generate solid waste materials. Materials will likely include waste concrete and asphalt, as well as other materials used in construction. It will also include organic debris such as shrubs and plant materials. Specific volumes of general waste materials to be generated are not known at this time. Waste materials will be recycled or disposed of in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal law. After the redevelopment, solid waste from the area will be similar to current conditions and will consist of typical household, commercial retail and office wastes. Wastes will be collected by a licensed solid waste handler in accordance with City ordinances. Recycling will be encouraged and will also be collected as is typical in the city of Centerville. Hazardous waste is not expected to be generated by the development. Toxic or Hazardous Materials During construction, equipment and vehicles utilizing gasoline, diesel fuel, antifreeze, and oil will be used at the project site. Portable storage tanks of fuel may be temporarily located at the site during construction. Fueling of vehicles and equipment will be conducted away from sensitive areas. If an accidental release occurs, efforts will be made to contain the release and the MPCA State Duty officer will be notified, as required. Storage Tanks As discussed above, portable storage tanks of fuel may be temporarily located at the site during construction. Permanent above or below ground storage tanks will not be installed as part of the proposed project. 15. Traffic. The proposed development is expected to generate a weekday Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volume of 3,530 vehicles/day, an AM peak hour volume of 146 vehicles/hour exiting the redevelopment area, and a PM peak hour volume of 171 vehicles/hour entering the redevelopment area. Approximately 1,076 parking spaces could be added, based on City parking requirements. Parking Currently there are approximately 100 parking spaces in the downtown area. This estimate includes approximately 50 spaces comprised of on street parking and small off street parking lots as well as approximately 50 spaces for the Centerville Elementary School. The school itself is located north of and adjacent to the redevelopment area, but its primary parking lot lies within the redevelopment area. Centerville Downtown Redevelopment Page 26
