The waste haulers in Ramsay have municipal waste,g,,ecycling programs. The residents will be encouraged to
<br /> recycle all municipal solid wastes that can be.recycled. The remainder of the municipal solid waste will be disposed:
<br /> (>l~ ~t ar~ approved muncipal waste landfill.
<br />
<br />b. Identify any toxic or hazardous materials to be used or present at t.he site and identify ·
<br /> measures to be used to prevent them from contaminating groundwater. If the use of
<br /> toxic or hazardous materials will lead to a regulated waste, discharge or emission,
<br /> discuss any alternatives considered to minimize or eliminate the waste, discharge or
<br /> emission.
<br /> No previous environmental hazards have been found on site: Normal construction and household hazardous wastes
<br /> are antmipated. Toxic or hazardous materials such as fuel for construqfion equipment and mater/als used in the
<br /> construction of homes (paint, adhesives, stains, contaminated rags, acids, bases, herbicides, and pesticides) will .
<br /> likely be used dtmng site preparation and house construction. Spills of these materials are not ptarmed, but could
<br /> reqmre notification of the Minnesota Duty Officers if a significant spill occurs. Builders/contractors are responsible
<br /> ~tbr proper management and disposal of any wastes generated during construction and homeowners are responsible
<br /> tbr management and disposal thereafter. Any toxic or hazardous mater/als used on sire'will be properly used,
<br /> properly stored in between uses, and properly disposed of when finished.
<br /> A Phu~se I Environmental Site Assessment for the project si~e concluded that there have been no toxic or hazardous
<br /> material spills at the site.
<br />
<br />c. Indicate the number, location, size and use of any above or below ground tanks to
<br /> store petroleum products or other materials, except water. Describe any emergency
<br /> response containment plans.
<br /> There will be no temporary tanks on site during construction. Refueling will take place from tanker trucks, and will
<br /> occur in areas that are not environmentally sensitive. There will be no permanent storage ta-aks located on the site
<br /> after development.

<br />[stimate the effect of the project's traffic generation on air quality, including carbon
<br />monoxide levels. Discuss the effect of traffic improvements or other mitigation measures
<br />on air quality impacts. Note: If the project involves 500 or more parking spaces, consult
<br />EAW Guidelines about whether a detailed, air quality analysis is needed.
