Trott Brook Crossing EAW August 2021 8. Consider installing rooftop solar, electric charging station or battery storage to make the development ready for electric vehicle use. 9. Protect trees along the Rush Creek corridor. b. Vehicle emissions. Describe the effect of the project's traffic generation on air emissions. Discuss the project's vehicle-related emissions effect on air quality. Identify measures (e.g. traffic operational improvements, diesel idling minimization plan) that will be taken to minimize or mitigate vehicle-related emissions. The proposed project will generate increased traffic in the area,which will result in a relatively small corresponding increase in carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other vehicle-related air emissions. GHG emissions related to traffic and transportation are listed under Item 16.a above. The project does not include air quality monitoring or modeling. c. Dust and odors -Describe sources, characteristics, duration, quantities, and intensity of dust and odors generated during project construction and operation. (Fugitive dust may be discussed under item 16a). Discuss the effect of dust and odors in the vicinity of the project including nearby sensitive receptors and quality of life. Identify measures that will be taken to minimize or mitigate the effects of dust and odors. The project is not expected to generate dust or odors at levels considered unusual for suburban development construction practices. Dust and odors produced during construction is expected to be consistent with applicable regulations of the MPCA and local governments. Dust and odor levels are expected to be slightly higher during project construction than post-construction. The construction process is expected to generate some fugitive dust,but dust is not expected to be generated in objectionable quantities. The dust receptors near the project area include the single- family homes south of Trott Brook Crossing,the Brookside Elementary School east of the site, and rural residential homes north and west of the site. Odors routinely generated during construction will be typical of those associated with construction activity, such as exhaust from diesel and gasoline powered construction equipment. Consideration will be given to suppression of airborne dust by application of water if fugitive dust generation during site grading exceeds levels typically expected during normal construction practices. 17. Noise Describe sources, characteristics, duration, quantities, and intensity of noise generated during project construction and operation. Discuss the effect of noise in the vicinity of the project including 1) existing noise levels/sources in the area, 2) nearby sensitive receptors, 3) conformance to state noise standards, and 4) quality of life. Identify measures that will be taken to minimize or mitigate the effects of noise. 28
