m I I i I I I I ! I I I I I ! I ! I I The Hillsborough and Bluffs Nest residential subdivisions are located ortheas~ and southeast respectively of the project. The proposed xpansion would extend the landfill to within 200 feet of undevelo>ed ots within the Bluffs West subdivision. Individual residences are located northeast, southwest and west of the existing and propose~ roJect. The lIS will investigate the potential impact of the pro- act on the residences and subdivisions. The lIS will evaluate the ,otential impact of noise, litter and air pollution associated with .he development and operations of the project. The visual impact of :hanges to sight lines resulting from the construction of the land- rill and berm will be assessed. Potential health and safety risks to ,estdents that might be associated with the project such as potential ~tir quality, water quality, methane gas and noise impacts will be ~nalyzed. Finally, the potential impaUt on property values will be investigated. ~ pt;eline owned by the Williams Brothers crosses the proposed pro- act site. The pipeline will be relocated if the project is approve~ ~S proposed. The present pipeline alignment also traverses the air- port approach zone and Bluffs West subdivision. The potential jtmpacts of the relocation of the pipeline on the residential area.~nd fother land uses will be analyzed. IThe Flying Cloud Drive In theater and a seasonal produce market are located northwest and southwest respectively of the.existing landfill along TH 169. Several other individual commercial/industrial uses are located north of the project along the south side of Co. Road 1 (Pioneer Trail}. The potential in~act of noise, litter, methane gas and other side effects of the project'wtll be investigated.. The effect on property values will also be evaluated: ~he'Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge and Recreation Area is located south of the project along the river valley. Most of the bluff south of the project is included in the Refuge.The master plan proposes that a trail be developed along Riverview Road at the base of the bluff. The expansion would be visible from the Refuge. The potential impact of the project on the Refuge and Recreation Area and its proposed facilities, natural resources and use will be Ciscussed in the lIS. ~e lIS will address the potential impacts of bluff ero- sion, stormwater discharge, litter, noise and visual effects of the project. Potential water quality impacts on Grass Lake and the Minnesota ~iver are addressed under the surface and groundwater sec- tions of the scoping document. An undeveloped local park, Homeward Hills, is located at the eastern end of the lowland to the east of the project. There have been pro- posals to expand this facility. The [IS will evaluate the potential effect of the development and ~peration of the ~roject on the park including the potential effect of stormwater runoff, noise and litter .~n.~al !and use Mitigation measures t~ eliminate or minimi=e -~ ~' impacts will be discussed in the EIS. The measures will be develo~d in response to individual impacts identified in the ~IS.
