10 <br />7. Minimizes adverse community impacts. Describe the anticipated negative impacts of the <br />project on human communities (e.g., increased traffic, construction noise, pollution) due to <br />both short-term and long-term actions, including the location where those impacts would occur <br />and how long they would last. In addition, provide a list of planned mitigation measures that <br />would be used to minimize such impacts. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />8. Demonstrates equity and environmental justice. Describe how the project would benefit <br />underserved and underrepresented populations and areas of concern for environmental <br />justice, including communities of color, Indigenous communities, residents with low income, <br />and those with physical or mental disabilities. More specifically, provide evidence regarding <br />how the proposed project activities would promote fairness, reduce disparities, and enhance <br />outcomes for these communities, including ease of access. Project evaluators will consider a) <br />the project’s potential benefits as well as b) its geographic proximity to underserved and <br />underrepresented communities* when evaluating project proposals. <br />*This will be evaluated using the Understanding Environmental Justice in MN mapping tool. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
