Cyphers Logistic Park AUAR 50 March 2022 <br />intense lights. Discuss the potential visual effects from the project. Identify any measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate visual effects. <br />AUAR Guidance: Any impacts on scenic views and vistas present in the AUAR should be addressed. This would include both direct physical impacts and impacts on visual quality or integrity. If any non-routine <br />visual impacts would occur from the anticipated development, this should be discussed here along with appropriate mitigation. <br />Scenario 1, 2, 3, and 4 The AUAR study area includes existing agricultural property that is not near any unique designated <br />scenic views or vistas. Future development will conform with the zoning regulations for building height, building form, landscape screening, and lighting would be in conformance with City <br />ordinances. No visual impacts are anticipated. <br />16. Air <br />a. Stationary Source Emissions – Describe the type, sources, quantities, and compositions of <br />any emissions from stationary sources such as boilers or exhaust stacks. Include any hazardous air pollutants, criteria pollutants, and any greenhouse gases. Discuss effects to <br />air quality including any sensitive receptors, human health, or applicable regulatory criteria. Include a discussion of any methods used to assess the project’s effect on air <br />quality and the results of that assessment. Identify pollution control equipment and other measures that will be taken to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects from stationary <br />source emissions. <br />AUAR Guidance: This item is not applicable to an AUAR. Any stationary air emissions source large enough to merit environmental review requires individual review. <br />Not applicable. <br />b. Vehicle Emissions – Describe the effect of the project’s traffic generation on air emissions. Discuss the project’s vehicle-related emissions effect on air quality. Identify measures (e.g., <br />traffic operational improvements, diesel idling minimization plan) that will be taken to minimize or mitigate vehicle-related emissions. <br />AUAR Guidance: Although the MPCA no longer issues Indirect Source Permits, traffic -related air <br />quality may still be an issue if the analysis in Item 18 indicates that development would cause or <br />worsen traffic congestion. The general guidance from the EAW form should still be followed. <br />Questions about the details of air quality analysis should be directed to MPCA staff. <br />Scenario 1, 2, 3, and 4 The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) has developed a screening method designed to identify intersections that will not cause a carbon monoxide (CO) impact above state <br />standards. MnDOT has demonstrated that even the 10 highest traffic volume intersections in the Twin Cities do not experience CO impacts. Therefore, intersections with traffic volumes lower <br />than these 10 highest intersections will not cause a CO impact above state standards. MnDOT’s screening method demonstrates that intersections with total daily approaching traffic volumes <br />below 82,300 vehicles per day will not have the potential for causing CO air pollution problems.
