Adelaide Landing Residential Development EAW, Hugo January 31, 2017 figures that the average single-family dwelling consists of 2.74 persons based on 2010-2014 City of Hugo census data. The household occupant number was then multiplied by 1.2 tons per person per year, based on the MPCA estimate for Minnesota families. Using these conservative figures, the proposed development could generate as much as 1,065 tons per year (324 units X 2.74 people/unit X 1.2 tons/person/year) of residential municipal solid waste per year. Residents within the new development will contract individually with waste haulers for solid waste collection and recycling services under the city's open trash and recycling collection system. According to the cities web page, there are currently seven licensed residential and/or commercial waste haulers. Curbside recycling, including paper, plastics, glass, and metals, is available to Hugo residents through their solid waste collector. Participation in the recycling program by future residents of the project area is expected to reduce costs for solid waste trucking and disposal, and generally minimize and mitigate adverse effects from the generation and storage of solid waste. c. Project related use/storage of hazardous materials - Describe chemicals/hazardous materials used/stored during construction and/or operation of the project including method of storage. Indicate the number, location and size of any above or below ground tanks to store petroleum or other materials. Discuss potential environmental effects from accidental spill or release of hazardous materials. Identify measures to avoid, minimize or mitigate adverse effects from the use/storage of chemicals/hazardous materials including source reduction and recycling. Include development of a spill prevention plan. It is not anticipated that the proposed project will generate, or require storage of, significant amounts of wastes that would be considered hazardous aside from typical household cleaners, paints, lubricants, and fuel storage for small power equipment. Toxic or hazardous material such as fuel for construction equipment and materials used during the normal construction process of residential units (paint, adhesives, stains, acids, bases, herbicides, and pesticides) will likely be used in typical quantities during site preparation and unit construction. These materials will be properly stored during on -site use and according to state and federal regulations to prevent accidental spill or release of hazardous materials. Builders and contractors are responsible for proper management and disposal of wastes generated during construction, which is typically handled by using construction dumpsters and the appropriate certified landfills. The contractor will minimize and mitigate adverse effects from the generation and storage of hazardous wastes by recycling wastes that can be recycled, and by developing a spill prevention plan for the project. Use of toxic or hazardous materials, outside of vehicle fuels, standard household cleaners, and lawn care chemicals, is not anticipated within the project area in conjunction with the proposed residential development. d. Project related generation/storage of hazardous wastes - Describe hazardous wastes generated/stored during construction and/or operation of the project. Indicate method of disposal. Discuss potential environmental effects from hazardous waste handling, storage, and disposal. Identify measures to avoid, minimize or mitigate adverse effects from the generation/storage of hazardous waste including source reduction and recycling. Outside of the materials described above, the project is not anticipated to generate or require the storing, handling or disposal of hazardous wastes during or after construction or during operation. Consequently, potential environmental effects from hazardous waste, and measures to avoid 25
