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. Ident 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. Identi 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 />
