listed on the National Register of Historic places and is within a half-mile of the project site. <br /> None of the sites or property will be impacted by the development. <br /> It is not anticipated that unknown archaeological sites will be uncovered during the construction <br /> of this project as the site has been previously disturbed. However, if cultural materials are <br /> encountered during construction, unanticipated discovery protocols will be followed. <br /> 16.Visual <br /> Describe any scenic views or vistas on or near the project site. Describe any project related <br /> visual effects such as vapor plumes or glare from intense lights. Discuss the potential visual <br /> effects from the project. Identify any measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate visual <br /> effects. <br /> The site includes existing institutional and residential land that is not near any unique designated <br /> scenic views or vistas. Future development would conform with the zoning regulations for <br /> building height, building form, landscape screening, and lighting would be in conformance with <br /> city ordinances. Adverse visual effects are not anticipated. <br /> 17.Air <br /> a. Stationary Source Emissions— Describe the type, sources, quantities, and compositions <br /> of any emissions from stationary sources such as boilers or exhaust stacks. Include any <br /> hazardous air pollutants and criteria pollutants. Discuss effects to air quality including <br /> any sensitive receptors, human health, or applicable regulatory criteria. Include a <br /> discussion of any methods used to assess the project's effect on air quality and the <br /> results of that assessment. Identify pollution control equipment and other measures <br /> that will be taken to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects from stationary <br /> source emissions. <br /> No stationary source air emissions are anticipated; therefore, no mitigation is required. <br /> b. Vehicle Emissions— Describe the effect of the project's traffic generation on air <br /> emissions. Discuss the project's vehicle-related emissions effect on air quality. Identify <br /> measures (e.g., traffic operational improvements, diesel idling minimization plan) that <br /> will be taken to minimize or mitigate vehicle-related emissions. <br /> Motor vehicles emit a variety of air pollutants including carbon monoxide (CO), <br /> hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and particulates. The primary pollutant of concern is CO, <br /> which is a byproduct of the combustion process of motor vehicles. CO concentrations are <br /> highest where vehicles idle for extended periods of time. For this reason, CO concentrations <br /> are generally highest in the vicinity of signalized intersections where vehicles are delayed and <br /> emitting CO. Generally, concentrations approaching state air quality standards are found <br /> within about 100 feet of a roadway source. Further from the road, the CO in the air is <br /> dispersed by the wind such that concentrations rapidly decrease. <br /> The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) has developed a screening method <br /> designed to identify intersections that will not cause a carbon monoxide (CO) impact above <br /> state standards. MnDOT has demonstrated that even the 10 highest traffic volume <br /> Haviland Fields EAW 23 September 2023 <br />
