Trott Brook Crossing EAW August 2021 the remaining 28 sites appear to be associated with projects that are not located on the Trott Brook Crossing development site. MPCA staff were contacted and have indicated that the WIMN interactive website has varying levels of data accuracy and may contain mapping errors. No soil or ground water contamination, abandoned dumps, closed landfills, existing or abandoned storage tanks, and hazardous liquid or gas pipelines were listed on properties bordering Trott Brook Crossing. b. Project related generation/storage of solid wastes -Describe solid wastes generated/stored during construction and/or operation of the project. Indicate method of disposal. Discuss potential environmental effects from solid waste handling, storage and disposal. Identify measures to avoid, minimize or mitigate adverse effects from the generation/storage of solid waste including source reduction and recycling. Neither the construction process nor the proposed residential development is expected to generate substantial solid or hazardous wastes, solid animal manure, sludge, or ash. Construction contractors will be required to dispose of wastes generated at the site during construction using approved methods and facilities. Contractors will be expected to minimize and mitigate adverse effects from solid waste generation and storage by recycling construction waste to the degree practicable. Brush and tree waste generated by construction will likely be chipped or otherwise disposed of rather than burned on site. Residents of the Trott Brook Crossing development will contract individually with waste haulers for solid waste collection and recycling services under the City's open trash and recycling collection system, which uses eight licensed waste haulers. The City has a contract for residential curbside recycling of paper, plastics, glass, and metals, but has an open hauling system for garbage service. Participation in the recycling program by future residents of the project area is expected to reduce the volume of solid waste generated by the project. Residents can also enroll in the City's organics recycling program to further reduce solid waste. Solid waste generated in the City of Ramsey that is not recycled or hazardous is trucked to a nearby landfill such as the Elk River Landfill. Once constructed, the project will generate wastes typical of residential development operations. Most solid waste is expected to include organics, paper, other waste, and plastic (Table 11).
