<br />Resource Area Mitigation

<br />Resources
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: The City will create a year-end report to
<br />evaluate wastewater increases by major sewer lines and overall
<br />system usage in relation to capacity. Results of this assessment
<br />will become the targets for growth for the following year.
<br />Contamination
<br />/ Hazardous
<br />Waste
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Demolition-related waste material, such as wood, concrete, and
<br />glass, will be either recycled or disposed in the proper facilities in accordance with
<br />state regulations and guidelines.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Development will generate construction-related waste materials
<br />such as wood, packaging, excess materials, and other wastes, which would be
<br />either recycled or disposed in the proper facilities in accordance with state
<br />regulations and guidelines.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: For solid waste generated from the completed project, a source
<br />recycling/separation plan would be implemented, and wastes that cannot be
<br />recycled would be managed in accordance with state regulations and guidelines.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Future developers will need to complete a Phase I/II
<br />Environmental Site Assessment prior to construction and coordinate with the
<br />MPCA on safe handling and disposal of any contamination and hazardous
<br />materials found on the site prior and during construction.

<br />Scenario 1 and 2: State requirements necessitate the control and spread of state
<br />listed noxious weeds and/or invasive weeds if encountered prior to construction.
<br />Methods to avoid spreading noxious weeds and/or invasive species will be
<br />incorporated into project specifications and/or SWPPP when developed.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Disturbed areas would be reestablished using appropriate
<br />native pollinator-friendly and stabilization seed mixes.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Invasive species will be controlled during site construction.
<br />Additionally, appropriate measures will be taken to control the spread of invasive
<br />species will be controlled during construction and landscaping:
<br /> Inspecting construction equipment and removing any visible plant, seeds,
<br />mud, dirt clods, and animals when arriving and leaving a site.
<br /> Using native seed mixes for revegetation whenever possible to encourage
<br />non-invasive plant communities in areas of bare soil post-construction.
<br /> Using mulch, soil, gravel, etc., that is free of invasive species whenever
<br />possible.
<br /> Inspecting soil and plant material during planting for signs of invasive
<br />species and removing or destroying the invasive species or the plant and
<br />associated soil if the invasive species cannot be separated out.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Tree clearing activities will be restricted to winter months
<br />(November 1 - March 31). If winter tree clearing is not feasible, technical
<br />assistance from the USFWS may be required. Tree removal will also adhere to the
<br />City's tree preservation requirements.
<br />
<br />Any tree removal will have to follow tree preservation requirements, as outlined in
<br />City Code 1007.049, as amended. 32
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Reseeding herbaceous areas with native seed mixes will be
<br />utilized when possible to avoid impacts to the monarch butterfly and rusty patch
<br />bumble bee.
<br />
<br />Pending DNR’s review, additional mitigation measures may be added to avoid and
<br />minimize impacts to state listed threatened and endangered species.

<br />Resource Area Mitigation
<br />Fish, Wildlife,
<br />Plant
<br />Communities,
<br />and Sensitive
<br />Ecological
<br />Resources
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Implement the Conservation Design Framework, which
<br />includes conservation of Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA’s), buffering these
<br />natural resources, and establishing greenway corridors throughout the AUAR area
<br />to provide connectivity for ecological and wildlife corridors, regional stormwater
<br />collection and conveyance, and passive recreational opportunities.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Require public land dedication of priority natural open space
<br />areas through the subdivision process.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Require that cash in lieu of public land dedication for
<br />subdivisions within the AUAR area be spent within the AUAR area to purchase,
<br />restore, and/or maintain priority natural open space areas.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Establish mechanisms for ecological restoration, management,
<br />stewardship, and education.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Consult with the DNR and/or US Fish and Wildlife Service to
<br />determine appropriate mitigation strategies for activities near the Bald Eagle’s
<br />nests within the AUAR area before development occurs within the vicinity of the
<br />nests, including reviewing recommended disturbance limit guidelines developed by
<br />the DNR.
<br />Historic
<br />Resources
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: If a federal nexus is identified during preparation of project
<br />permits (if a U.S. Army Corps of Engineer permit is required due to impacts to
<br />regulated wetlands), a Phase I Archaeological Assessment may be necessary.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: If human remains are recovered at any time during
<br />archaeological investigation or development, all activities must stop and
<br />consultation initiated with the Office of the State Archaeologist and Minnesota
<br />Indian Affairs Council.
<br />Visual Scenario 1 and 2: Guidance from the USFWS to minimize blue light, uplight, and
<br />backlight will be adhered to the extent practicable.
<br />Air
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Construction will generate temporary fugitive dust emissions.
<br />These emissions will be controlled by sweeping or watering as appropriate or as
<br />prevailing weather and soil conditions dictate.
<br />Greenhouse
<br />Gas (GHG)
<br />Emissions/Car
<br />bon Footprint
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: To limit GHG emissions/carbon footprint, developers should
<br />consider the following measures:
<br /> Use energy efficient appliances, equipment, and lighting
<br /> Use energy efficient building shells
<br /> Encourage the use of the use of alternative modes of transportation to and
<br />from the project through site design
<br /> Implement waste best management practices and to recycle and compost
<br />appropriate material when applicable
<br /> Utilize on-site landscaping will absorb water
<br /> Consider trees and tree trenches, and additional landscaping will be
<br />planted to improve local air quality, absorb greenhouse gas emissions, and
<br />reduce local urban heat island effect
<br /> Construct buildings with rooftop-ready infrastructure for solar power
<br />generation
<br /> Provide electric vehicle ready charging infrastructure
<br />Noise
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Construction activities may result in temporarily elevated noise
<br />levels. The City of Lino Lakes Code of Ordinances regulates both the hours of
<br />operation for construction equipment and allowable noise levels. Construction of
<br />the proposed project would comply with these requirements.
