24. Dust, Odors and Noise. Dust, odors, and construction noise need not be addressed in an AUAR, unless there is some unusual reason to do so. The RGU might want to discuss as part of the mitigation plan, however, any dust control or construction noise ordinances in effect. If the area will include or adjoin major noise sources a noise analysis is needed to determine if any noise levels in excess of standards would occur, and if so, to identify appropriate mitigation measures. With respectto traffic-generatednoise, the noise analysis should be based on the traffic analysis of item 21. 25. Sensitive resources: Archeological, historic, and architectural resources. For an AUAR, contactwith the State Historic PreservationO�fice is required to determine whether there are areas of potential impacts to these resources. If any exist, an appropriate site survey of high probability areas is needed to address the issue in more detail. The mitigation plan must include mitigation for any impacts identified. Prime or unique farmlands. The extent of conversion of existing farm�ands anticioated in the AUAR should be described. If anv farmland will be preserved by special protection programs, this should be discussed. Designated par�s, recreation areas. or trails. If develovment of the AUAR will interfere or change the use of ariy existing such resource, this should be described in the AUAR. The RGU may also want to discuss under this item any proposed parlcs, recreation areas, or trails to be developed in conjunction with development of the AUAR area. Scenic views and vistas. Any impacts on such resources present in the AUAR should be addressed. This would include both direct physical impacts and impacts on visual quality or integrity. "EAW Guidelines: contains a list of ��i�la scenic resources (page 20). 26. Adverse Visual Impacts. If any non-routine visual impacts would occur from the anticipated development, this should be discussed here along with appropriate mitigation. 27. Compatibility with Plans. The AUAR must include a statement of certification from the RGU that its comprehensive plan complies with the requirements set out at 44103610, subpart 1. The AUAR document should discuss the proposed AUAR area development in the context of the comprehensive plan. If this has not been done as part of the responses to items 6,9, � 8,21, and others, it must be addressed here; a brief synopsis should be presented here if the material has been presented in detail under other items. Necessary amendments to comprehensive plan elements to allow for any of the development scenarios should be noted. If there are any management plans of any other local, state, or federal agencies applicable to the AUAR area, the document must discuss the compatibility of the plan with the various development scenarios studied, with emphasis on any incompatible elements. 28. �mpact on Infrastructure a�d Public Services. This item should first of all s��nunarize information on physical infrastructure presented under items (such 6, 17, 18 and 21). Other maior infrastructure or oublic services not covered under other items should be discussed as well — this includes major social services such as schools, police, fire, etc. The RGU must be careful to include project-associated infrastructure as an explicit part of the AUAR review if it is to exempt from project-specific review in the future. :
