page 21 The screening method demonstrates that because this project has less than the benchmark AADT of 79,400 and does not involve or affect the "Top Ten Intersections," a hotspot analysis is not needed. In summary, it is expected there will be slightly higher MSAT emissions in the study area with the project relative to the no build condition due to increased ADT. There also could be increases in MSAT levels in a few localized areas where ADT increases. However, the EPA's vehicle and fuel regulations will bring about significantly lower MSAT levels for the area in the future when compared to today. c. Dust and odors - Describe sources, characteristics, duration, quantities, and intensity of dust and odors generated during project construction and operation. (Fugitive dust may be discussed under item 16a). Discuss the effect of dust and odors in the vicinity of the project including nearby sensitive receptors and quality of life. Identify measures that will be taken to minimize or mitigate the effects of dust and odors. During construction, particulate emissions will temporarily increase due to generation of fugitive dust. The nearest and most sensitive receptors to the construction activity are the residential properties that immediately surround the property. Construction dust control is required to be in conformance with City of Saint Anthony Village’s ordinances and the NPDES Construction Stormwater permit. The construction and operation of the proposed site redevelopment is not anticipated to involve processes that would generate odors. 17. Noise Describe sources, characteristics, duration, quantities, and intensity of noise generated during project construction and operation. Discuss the effect of noise in the vicinity of the project including 1) existing noise levels/sources in the area, 2) nearby sensitive receptors, 3) conformance to state noise standards, and 4) quality of life. Identify measures that will be taken to minimize or mitigate the effects of noise. The existing site is located within a suburban area and is surrounded by low density residential, high- density residential and commercial uses. Existing noise sources are those typical of suburban residential/commercial areas and consist mainly of traffic on the area roadways, which include Kenzie Terrace, Stinson Parkway, St Anthony Boulevard and surrounding residential streets. The nearest sensitive receptors are the existing single family residential units north and west of the site. Construction noise levels and types typical of construction equipment will occur as a result of this project. Construction noise will be limited to daytime hours consistent with the City of St Anthony Village’s construction and noise ordinances (7 am to 10 pm on weekdays, 9 am to 9 pm on weekends and holidays). Construction equipment will be fitted with mufflers that would be maintained throughout the construction process. Table 7 below summarizes the peak noise levels of common types of roadway construction equipment. 56
