actions (enrollment, trafftc, stormwater, sanitary wastes and water usage) as well as present and future actions (enrollment to 2,400 FTE's, road relocation, additional buildings, tra�c increases, stormwater generation, etc.) to marimum build-out of the site. In the event, any additional improvements or buildings are needed in the future beyond those planned in the Master Plan and EAW, those improvements would need to be evaluated. At this time, there are no plans jor additional improvements or enrollment increases beyond those anticipated in the Planned Unit Development (PUD� and EAW. 30. Other potential environmental impacts. If the project may cause any adverse environmental impacts not addressed by items 1 to 28, identify and discuss them here, along with any proposed mitigation. No other adverse environmental impacts other than those noted previously are anticipated as a result of lhis Project. 31. Summary of issaes. Do not complete this section if the EAW is being done for EIS sco�ing; 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 begun. Discuss any altematives 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. The project is implementation of Northwestern College's Master Plan. The Master Plan proposes to increase the total FTE student population from 1,600 to 2,400 and provide.s the facilities, parking, and infrastructure to support the current and future student population. Before construction begins, further investigation will be needed to derne the speciftc measures to be taken to protect wildlife habitat. Where trees must be removed, the appropriate native species to plant in replacement must be identified. The protective measures may be defined as conditions of city building permits. Erosion and sediment control plans will need to be prepared and approved in conjunction with the NPDES permit ihat will be needed for changes to the outfall structures located around Lake Johanna. Specific erosion and sediment control measures will be identified through the NPDES�ermit application process. Best Management Practices for storm water management will be selected and implemented as development projects on campus are constructed. Speciftc measures may be defined as conditions of MPCA permits, the Rice Creek Watershed District permit, and city building permits. Defrned landscaping plans to mitigate visual impacts and lighting plans will be designed as architectural design progresses for each proposed building. City permits may define specific conditions for landscaping and lighting plans. Traffic impacts related to the proposed project are projected to occur at nearby intersections. Mitigation measures to improve operating conditions with the implementation of this Project include 1) Implementing a trafftc signa! at Fairview Avenue/Lydia Avenue with an exclusive southbound left turn lane of 250 feet; 2) Directing outbound right turns and inbound left turns to and from the west via the Northwestern College west gate during the p.m. peak hour; 3) Adding an exclusive 1 SO foot right turn lane at Lydia/College entrance to facilitate safe maneuvers for college-bound vehrcles; 4) One additional exclusive eastbound left turn lane at Snelling Avenue/Lydia Avenue with left turn lanes extended to 200 feet; 5) One additional exclusive eastbound left turn lane at Snelling Avenue/County Road G2 with left turn lanes extended to 200 feet; 6) Developing a Travel Demand Management Plan (TDM) for campus students, staff and employees.
