Discuss the nature of the cumulative potential effects and summarize any other available information <br />relevant to determining whether there is potential for significant environmental effects due to these <br />cumulative effects. <br />Reasonably foreseeable future projects may combine with the proposed project to result in <br />cumulative effects on municipal infrastructure and natural resources. The potential for cumulative <br />effects varies with the type of resource affected and the geographic area of impact. Geographic <br />separation between projects serves to reduce the potential for cumulative effects. The six projects <br />listed in Table 10 are an average of 2.5 miles from the Riverstone South. <br />Potential cumulative effects on public infrastructure relate to municipal water supply systems, <br />sanitary sewer conveyance and treatment systems, stormwater management systems, and traffic and <br />transportation systems. The City of Ramsey has planned for continued growth and expanded <br />infrastructure system capacity to address these effects and serve anticipated future projects. The City <br />of Ramsey will consider the timing and staging of other development proposals within the context of <br />the Comprehensive Plan and related growth management tools. Cumulative effects on public <br />infrastructure are not expected to be significant. <br />Potential cumulative effects of anticipated future projects on natural resources depend on the type, <br />density, and location of future developments. Effects on natural resources such as wetlands and <br />wildlife habitat vary with project location and biological diversity. Project effects on natural <br />resources may combine with effects of nearby concurrent projects to result in subtle local cumulative <br />effects, such as habitat fragmentation. Surface water runoff from the project will mostly infiltrate <br />into the ground. Runoff from large storm events may also flow overland to the southeast and the <br />Mississippi River. Requirements for stormwater management and erosion and sediment control are <br />expected to minimize cumulative effects of post -development runoff on downstream waters. <br />Policies and regulations of the City of Ramsey, the Lower Rum River Watershed Management <br />Organization, and other government agencies require the stormwater mitigation measures discussed <br />33 <br />
