The existing daytime noise levels in the vicinity of the project are dominated by three traffic related noise sources. These are Interstate 35-w, Cleveland Avenue and County Road D. The daytime noise levels in the vicinity currently exceed the state noise guidelines by one to five dgp.

The primary wildlife tobo affectt�ntail oonsists of species common to suburban environments rabbits, gray squirrels, mice, and various birds. Off-aito wildlife habitat potentially affected by the project are the wetlands which receive storm water run-off. These wetlands provide habitat for muokrata and various water birds. Inclusion in the site plans of internal ponding areas will offset any such impaots considerably. The affects on the wildlife using the off -site wetland, therefore, would be negligible. There are no native species on the state endangered, threatened or special concern list known to exist on this site.
