Pearson Farm Residential Development EAW Draft—March XX,2017 <br /> contractor will be required to dispose of wastes generated at the site during construction using <br /> approved methods and facilities. The contractor will minimize and mitigate adverse effects from <br /> solid waste generation and storage by recycling construction waste to the degree practicable. Brush <br /> and tree waste generated by construction will likely be chipped or otherwise recycled rather than <br /> burned on site. <br /> Residents and in the new development will contract individually with waste haulers for solid waste <br /> collection and recycling services under the City's open trash and recycling collection system,which <br /> uses eight licensed waste haulers. Curbside recycling,including paper,plastics,glass, and metals is <br /> available to City of Ramsey residents through their solid waste collector. Participation in the <br /> recycling program by future residents of the project area is expected to reduce the volume of solid <br /> waste generated by the project. <br /> Solid waste generated in the City of Ramsey that is not recycled or hazardous is delivered to the Elk <br /> River Resource Recovery Station. The Elk River Energy Recovery Station convert refuse derived <br /> fuel(RDF)from mixed municipal waste into energy. Using waste to generate electricity provides an <br /> efficient disposal method for garbage and prevents garbage from going to landfills. <br /> c. Project related use/storage of hazardous materials-Describe chemicals/hazardous materials used/stored <br /> during construction and/or operation of the project including method of storage. Indicate the number, <br /> location and size of any above or below ground tanks to store petroleum or other materials.Discuss <br /> potential environmental effects from accidental spill or release of hazardous materials. Idents measures <br /> to avoid, minimize or mitigate adverse effects from the use/storage of chemicals/hazardous materials <br /> including source reduction and recycling. Include development of a spill prevention plan. <br /> Development of the project area is not expected to generate or require storage of substantial amounts <br /> of hazardous wastes or materials. Future residential development is expected to result in the storage <br /> or generation of small amounts of typical household cleaners,paints,lubricants, and small engine <br /> fuels over time. Petroleum storage tanks and commercial petroleum-based businesses are not <br /> proposed in the project area. <br /> d. Project related generation/storage of hazardous wastes-Describe hazardous wastes generated/stored <br /> during construction and/or operation of the project. Indicate method of disposal.Discuss potential <br /> environmental effects from hazardous waste handling, storage, and disposal. Idents measures to avoid, <br /> minimize or mitigate adverse effects from the generation/storage of hazardous waste including source <br /> reduction and recycling. <br /> Normal construction and household hazardous wastes are anticipated. Toxic or hazardous materials <br /> such as fuel for construction equipment and materials used in the construction of homes (paint, <br /> adhesives, stains,contaminated rags, acids,bases,herbicides,and pesticides)will likely be used <br /> during site preparation and home construction. Spills of these materials is not likely to occur,but a <br /> substantial spill could notification of the Minnesota Duty Officer. Contractors and builders will be <br /> responsible for proper management and disposal of wastes generated during construction. <br /> Homeowners will be responsible for management and disposal of hazardous waste thereafter. <br /> Homeowners will be able to dispose of household hazardous waste at the Anoka County Household <br /> Hazardous Waste Facility. <br /> 19 <br />
