'rtIe following <br />CQIIIlI!nts concerning air and water quality should be addressed in the final EIS. <br /> <br />Air Quality <br /> <br />'rtle total number of parking spaces proposed for the project has been reduced <br />to less than 1000. AcCOrding. to Table 4 at page 38 of. the draft EIS, 985 new <br />parking spaces will be constructed. As such, an indirect source permit will <br />not be required for the project. <br /> <br />Water Quality <br /> <br />In our letter of January 10, 1986 prepared in. response to the scoping <br />environmental assessment worksheet, we stated that the draft EIS should <br />contain soil test results and appropriate ground water measurements which <br />demonstrate that the individual on-site treatment systems for single family <br />hcmes are feasible and will not cause a ground water contamination problem. <br />we also stated in that letter that a high rate soil absorption system evalua- <br />tion should be conducted for the proposed CQIIIlI!rcial developDent. 'rtIese <br />studies have been done in a prelillli.nary fashion in the draft !IS using avail- <br />able data. However, the feasibility of the project cannot be determined fran <br />this data. <br /> <br />'rtIe ground water CQIIIlI!nts are divided. into two areas, the potential impacts <br />fran the indiviciual on-site septic systems and wastewater treatment <br />requirements for the proposed CQIIIlI!rcial/light industrial area. In addition, <br />potential surface water impacts are discussed with regard to Lake Itasca. <br /> <br />Phone: <br />1935 West County Road 82, RosevUle, Minnesota 55113-2785 <br />Regional O"ices .
