Item 22 Mitigation Element. There are no specific air quality mitigation measures <br />proposed for the Ramsey Town Center Development, because implementation of the <br />project does not result in violation of State or National Air Quality Standards. Carbon <br />monoxide concentrations were modeled along the Highway 10 corridor assuming no road <br />improvements in the project vicinity. The road improvements discussed in Section 21 <br />would help to reduce carbon monoxide emissions, although they are not required as a <br />result of the air quality analysis. <br /> <br />Item 23 not required in AUAR <br /> <br />Item 24 Mitigation Element. Noise wall mitigation would not be practical along <br />Industry Avenue: Driveways and street intersections would create gaps in the wall, <br />defeating its purpose. It is suggested that the proposed residential units in Blocks 28, 36, <br />37, and 38 be designed to minimize noise impacts. The noise around the homes and <br />surrounding areas can be reduced by providing climate-controlled units, increasing wall <br />insulation, and providing common areas on the side of the buildings furthest from <br />Industry Avenue. <br /> <br />Item 25 Mitigation Element. Unidentified Resoz.trces. Various circumstances may lead <br />to the discovery of unidentified historic or archeological resources within the project <br />boundaries. When any such new discovery is brought to the attention of the developer or <br />the City, an evaluation of the significance will be conducted and appropriate management <br />measures will be devised in consultation with SHPO. <br /> <br />Discovery does not mean that all work must stop. However, depending on the nature of <br />the cultural resource and the activity's apparent effects on it, the developer and City will <br />make reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize harm to the resource until it has been <br />processed. Following are the procedures that will be followed when a discovery of what <br />appears to be a cultural resource (historic or archaeological artifacts) has been made: <br /> <br />(a) Contact the supervisor in charge immediately. If human remains are <br />discovered, also refer to the below section, Unmarked Human Burial Sites. <br /> <br />(b) The supervisor will contact SHPO immediately (651-296-6126). The <br />supervisor wilt arrange for the site or the relevant portion of the site to be secured <br />against further disturbance until a professional assessment of the potential finding <br />can be made. <br /> <br />(c) The contractor, lessee or employees will consult with SHPO to safeguard the <br />resource and note its location, depth, etc. for future report, and to determine what <br />type of investigation (if any) or mitigation is appropriate for the circumstances. <br /> <br />Unmarked Human Burial Sites. The discovery of human remains is covered under <br />Minnesota Statute, Section 307.08. Human remains deserve respect and should be <br />treated appropriately. The discovery of human remains involves legal as well as <br /> <br />52 D- 20 - <br /> <br /> <br />
