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 /> 14 Public Water Basins are located within one mile of the site (see Figure 7). The wetlands on <br /> site, along with the waterbodies adjacent to the site, could provide suitable fish habitat. <br /> Potential wildlife habitat is located primarily within the eastern portion of the project site <br /> within the green space and wetlands. Adjacent land uses include residential, road right-of- <br /> way, and parks, which provide potential wildlife habitat. Given the urban setting of the <br /> project site, wildlife including white-tailed deer, small mammals, and bird species that are <br /> currently using the project site for potential habitat are well adapted to highly disturbed <br /> suburban environments. <br /> Three Minnesota Biological Survey Sites of Biodiversity Significance and nine Regionally <br /> Significant Ecological Areas are located within one mile of the project site. According to 2022 <br /> DNR Native Plant Communities database, no native plant communities are within or adjacent <br /> to the project site. According to the City of Ramsey's 2007 Natural Resources Inventory (NRI), <br /> there are two moderate quality native plant communities (Aspen Forest and Oak Woodland- <br /> Brushland) and one good quality native plant community (Wet Meadow) located in the <br /> forested area on the northeast side of the site. <br /> Haviland Fields EAW 19 July 2023 <br />
