ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING OCTOBER 30, 2002 Mr. LeBlanc questioned the regulations for the Carbon Monoxide emission levels. Ms. Bor answered that the levels for cows were lower than the standards, and should have been noted for that section. • Page 23, Section 22: Asleson asked for clarification on how the numbers related to people and animals. • Page 28, Section 24: O'Dea noted there were no receptors (testing devices) placed near the herons, and therefore were unable to address the heron issue. Grundhofer stated that the level of noise disturbance was unknown for the birds, and that monitoring is needed by a trained observer. • Page 30, Section 24: O'Connell stated that the projected traffic with noise levels were above state standards in three out of the four receptor sites. Ms. Bor answered that Doug Fisher was a county road, and even though the standards were exceeded, it did not affect the road. • Page 31: Grundhofer inquired if comments were available from Rice Creek Watershed District. • Page 32, Section 25C: Grundhofer inquired about plans for a trail. Asleson answered that they had discussed a trail down to the lake. They may be willing to have a conservation easement, land trust, or have the area turned over to the county with a buffer, due to the heron habitat in the Southwest corner. This question should be addressed and answered in the report. Mr. LeBlanc submitted that the tree line could be extended across to form the buffer. Grundhofer added that there would be a need for signage. Grundhofer indicated that Section 25E needed to change the answer to yes and to explain their plans to minimize adverse impacts. Donlin inquired about the height of the Centerville water tower. Asleson answered about 100 feet high. • Page 33, Section 26: Grundhofer suggested night -time lighting in the building only, and no lights in the parking lot because of the lake when the building was unoccupied. Chair Kukonen indicated it would be helpful to have more information on lighting. Schneider questioned the basis for the statement in Section 27, third paragraph that the growth areas were not relevant. 12 DRAFT MINUTES
