Applying this methodology to forecast itinerant <br />activity at Gateway North illustrates a very <br />favorable economic impact to the local economy. <br />The greatest daily expenditures of transients are <br />for car rental, lodging, food and entertainment. <br />Since these services are limited in Ramsey proper, <br />assume that the average daily expenditure per <br />passenger is $35.00 per day rather than $50.00 per <br />day. Also the average itinerant passenger load is <br />assumed to be 2.5 passengers per operation rather <br />than 3.2 passengers. The resulting figures in <br />Table 8-1 are thus very conservative, but <br />impressive in terms of annual direct impact and <br />total economic impact. <br />8.2.4. Air Quality <br />It is anticipated that the change in air quality <br />will not be significant. <br />8.2.5. Water Quality <br />The present facilities have a private well and <br />septic tank and disposal system. The proposed <br />facilities would have a similar system, with a <br />potential for municipal water and sewer in the <br />future. Oil residues from fuels, lubricants, etc. <br />will be trapped in reservoirs to be processed and <br />disposed of separately. It is anticipated that <br />groundwater quality will not be degraded by the <br />development of the facilities. Other factors in <br />the area perhaps have had greater impacts on the <br />water quality. Those factors could be the existing <br />sanitary landfill site and commercial and residen— <br />tial septic tank effluents. <br />The proposed facilities will be provided with a new <br />deep well system to insure the high quality of <br />potable water and septic tank drainfield should <br />public water and sewer not be available. <br />8.2.6. Historic, Architectural, Archeological and Cultural <br />Resources <br />There are no recognized or known historic, archi— <br />tectural, archeological and cultural resources at <br />the proposed site. However, these matters will be <br />reviewed with the State Historic Preservation <br />Officer and local officials. <br />8-7 <br />
