' - 3 - II. DISCUSSION � r Minnesota Rules Part 4410.1700 provide that four factors be considered when the Board determines whether the project has the potential for significant environmental impacts. Impacts with respect to these factors are discussed in detail in the Findings of Fact and are summarized below. A� TYPE, EXTENT, AND REVERSIBILITY OF ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS Primary potential impact areas with the project include the potential for water quality and solid and hazardous waste impacts. However, miti- gation measures to be required by the Agency and other governmental per- mits will ensure that no significant environmental impacts will occur with the project. Water Quality Impacts Ground water and surface water quality are not expected tn be adversely impacted with the project. The project will comply with federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) or MPCA permitting requirements (whichever is in effect at the time of permit issuance) for on -site spill prevention control plans and countermeasures, container adequacy and management practices, and requirements for the design and operation of secondary containment systems. Secondary containment systems will be located under the truck loading/unloading area, truck dock area, and the drum/tank storage area. A spill containment dam will be built between the truck loading/unloading area and employee car parking lot. The storage floor area will be a continuous concrete pad, elevated in the center and sloping down on both sides to form two separate areas for handling incom- patible wastes. In addition, U.S. EPA, RCRA, state and county requirements will apply to the transportation of wastes associated with the proposed facility.
