ground tanks to store petroleum or other materials. Indicate the number, location, size, <br />and age of existing tanks on the property that the project will use. Discuss potential <br />environmental effects from accidental spills or releases of hazardous materials. Identify <br />measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects from the use/storage of <br />chemicals/hazardous materials including source reduction and recycling. Include <br />development of a spill prevention plan. <br />One 265-gallon underground storage tank and one 300-gallon aboveground storage tank <br />were identified on -site during a 2022 survey. The underground storage tank is a heating oil <br />tank located to the northeast of the existing single-family homes. The aboveground storage <br />tank is a propane tank and is located to the northwest of the existing single-family homes. <br />Based on the age of the 265-gallon heating oil underground storage tank (50+ years) and <br />that it has been 24 years since the subsurface investigation was completed, there is an <br />inherent risk of release and leakage associated with the tank. The 2022 survey recommended <br />a Phase II Subsurface Investigation to assess potential impacts associated with the active <br />265-gallon tank. <br />Any hazardous waste materials used/stored during construction and/or operation of the <br />project will be disposed of in the manner specified by local or state regulation or by the <br />manufacturer. A spill prevention plan will be developed, and proper spill prevention controls <br />will be in place for any vehicle refueling or maintenance that occurs on site during <br />construction. <br />d. Project Related Generation/Storage of Hazardous Wastes — Describe hazardous wastes <br />generated/stored during construction and/or operation of the project. Indicate method <br />of disposal. Discuss potential environmental effects from hazardous waste handling, <br />storage, and disposal. Identify measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects <br />from the generation/storage of hazardous wastes including source reduction and <br />recycling. <br />Regulated material and/or waste will be managed in accordance with state requirements. No <br />known toxic or hazardous wastes are anticipated to be generated on site. If any toxic or <br />hazardous waste is generated on the site, it will be properly handled to current state and <br />federal regulations. Toxic or hazardous wastes to be stored on site during construction will <br />include fuel and oil necessary for maintaining and running heavy construction equipment <br />and during operations may include commercial cleaning supplies. The MPCA regulates <br />asbestos management activities and disposal activities. Any disposal of asbestos regulated <br />waste will be in accordance with MPCA rules. <br />14. Fish, Wildlife, Plant Communities, and Sensitive Ecological Resources (Rare <br />Features) <br />a. Describe fish and wildlife resources as well as habitats and vegetation on or near the <br />site. <br />One DNR Public Watercourse, Rum River, is located within one mile of the site and is not <br />classified as a trout stream. One Unnamed Public Water Basin is located within the site, and <br />Haviland Fields EAW 19 September 2023 <br />
