• • • 22. Vehicle - related air emissions. Estimate the effect of the project's traffic generation on air quality, including carbon monoxide levels. Discuss the effect of traffic improvements or other mitigation measures on air quality impacts. Note: If the project involves 500 or more parking spaces, consult EAW Guidelines about whether a detailed air quality analysis is needed. The project will not generate a significant increase in carbon monoxide levels, associated with the vehicle trips for the eight additional single - family homes proposed. No baseline air quality monitoring or modeling is proposed and no mitigative measures for the increase in vehicle- related emissions related to the eight additional lots is being considered. 23. Stationary source air emissions. Describe the type, sources, quantities and compositions of any emissions from stationary sources of air emissions such as boilers, exhaust stacks or fugitive dust sources. Include any hazardous air pollutants (consult EAW Guidelines for a listing) and any greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide) and ozone- depleting chemicals (chloro- fluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, or sulfur hexafluoride). Also describe any proposed pollution prevention techniques and proposed air pollution control devices. Describe the impacts on air quality. No significant stationary source air emissions will result from the proposed residential development. The homes will most likely be heated by new individual natural gas burning furnace systems that meet current efficiency standards. No impact is expected on air quality. 24. Odors, noise and dust. Will the project generate odors, noise or dust during construction or during operation? Q Yes ❑ No If yes, describe sources, characteristics, duration, quantities or intensity and any proposed measures to mitigate adverse impacts. Also identify locations of nearby sensitive receptors and estimate impacts on them. Discuss potential impacts on human health or quality of life. (Note: fugitive dust generated by operations may be discussed at item 23 instead of here.) The project will generate dust and noise associated with the construction activities on this site. The nearest receptors of dust and noise are the residents to the south and west of the proposed eight lot development. The hours of work will be limited by the City. The standard inclusion in development agreements required for all projects restricts work to 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. weekdays, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturdays, no work on Sundays or federal holidays. The contractor will be required to control dust through the use of water trucks as necessary on dry, windy days. The developer may need to hire a street sweeper if weather conditions necessitate it. Noise: Minnesota rules Chapter 7030 provide the Minnesota Standards for noise. These standards describe the limiting levels of sound established on the basis of present knowledge for the preservation of health and welfare. These standards are designed to be consistent with sleep, speech, annoyance, and hearing conservation requirements for receivers within areas grouped according to land use activities. The Minnesota standards are as follows: Environmental Assessment Worksheet Page 16 Pheasant Hills 12`h Addition
