The grading operations will disturb approximately 158 acres and require an estimated <br />600,000 cubic yards of grading on -site. Grading activities will construct new roads, <br />building residential pads, and stormwater features. <br />5. Water Quality <br />Compliance with stormwater requirements will minimize and mitigate potential adverse <br />effects on receiving waters. Project construction will add impervious surface to the site <br />which consists of streets, residential homes, and driveways. Stormwater rate and <br />volume controls will limit increases in runoff volume and associated pollutant transport. <br />Stormwater basins are expected to mitigate potential adverse effects on water quality. <br />6. Wetlands and Surface Waters <br />The wetland delineation survey was conducted in the summer of 2022 and delineated <br />wetlands and public and private drainage ways on site. The wetland delineation report is <br />currently under review with the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) which consists of Rice <br />Creek Watershed District, the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), Anoka County <br />Conservation District, and the Army Corps of Engineers. If any of these delineated <br />features is impacted on site, the project proponent will need to obtain a Minnesota <br />Wetland Conservation Act and Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act permit, and <br />Section 401 Clean Water Act Water Quality Certification. <br />7. Wastewater <br />The project is expected to produce normal domestic wastewater that will be typical of <br />residential developments and will be designed within the limitations of the existing <br />sanitary sewer system. <br />8. Hazardous Materials <br />Review of the MPCA and MDA's "What's in my Neighborhood" (WIMN) interactive <br />website identified 1 inactive brownfield on the Project Site and one petroleum tank <br />release immediately to the north of the site. <br />A Phase I and Phase II Site Assessment was conducted to analyze contamination on site <br />and the MPCA has reviewed the site. The MPCA has issued a no action letter stating that <br />the extent and magnitude of the release has been defined and does not pose a risk to <br />human health or the environment. <br />In addition to these two areas, there are 10 sites within 0.5 miles of the proposed <br />Project Site as shown in the MPCA's database. The MPCA's website indicates that these <br />sites have been properly investigated and managed. Therefore, these sites are not <br />expected to adversely impact the Project Site. <br />Prior to the demolition of the existing farmstead buildings, an asbestos and regulated <br />materials (ARM) assessment will be completed and the MPCA will be notified if asbestos <br />containing material (ACM) are identified during the ARM assessment. <br />25 <br />
