Lino Lakes Main Street - AUAR 70 August 2025 Construction emissions for the two proposed scenarios are based on length of construction33 and are from mobile equipment, including passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and medium and heavy-duty trucks, and construction equipment (both gasoline and diesel). Existing emissions during operations (full build out of either scenario) include natural gas (stationary equipment) for heating buildings and water, on-site generator testing, use of off- site electricity, and off-site waste management. Emissions from cooling and refrigeration systems are not accounted for in this analysis as GHGs from refrigerants are approximately less than 5 percent of the total GHG emissions of a building.34 Table 11 : Construction Emissions Scope 35 Emission Type Emission Sub-Type Emitant Scenario 1 Project- Related CO2e Emissions Scenario 2 Project-Related CO2e Emissions Scope 1 Combustion Mobile equipment CO2, N2O, CH4 278,006 336,743 Total 278,006 282,965 Table 12 : Operational Emissions Scope Emission Type Emission Sub-Type Emitant Existing CO2e Emissions (tons/year) Scenario 1 Project- Related CO2e Emissions (tons/year) Scenario 2 Project- Related CO2e Emissions (tons/year) Scope 1 Combustion Stationary equipment CO2, N2O, CH4 534 7,154 7,291 Scope 2 Off-site electricity Grid- based CO2, N2O, CH4 862 12,066 12,324 Scope 3 Off-site waste management Area CO2, CH4 261 3,537 3,642 Total 1,657 22,757 23,257 b. GHG Assessment i. Describe any mitigation considered to reduce the project’s GHG emissions. In both Scenario 1 and Scenario 2, the following are potential design strategies and sustainability measures that could be taken into consideration for future development to reduce emissions: 33 Total construction duration of the site is estimated to be completed over 6 to 8 construction seasons, over 30+ years. 34 Source: https://practicegreenhealth.org/sites/default/files/2019-06/PracticeGreenhealth_GHG_Toolkit_0.pdf 35 Emissions are categorized as either direct or indirect. Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions that are released directly from properties owned or under the control of the project proposer. This includes, for example, the use of mobile equipment during construction. Scope 2 and 3 emissions are indirect emissions. Scope 2 emissions are associated with the offsite generation of purchased electricity and/or steam. Scope 3 emissions are from the offsite provision of waste management services, including land disposal (landfilling), recycling, and solid waste composting. Page 100 of 679
