HomeMy WebLinkAboutX-C-01 Authorize Distribution - Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) - Walden at Hastings (TH 316 & Michael Ave) City Council Memorandum To: Mayor Fasbender & City Councilmembers From: John Hinzman, Community Development Director Date: December 4, 2023 Item: Authorize Distribution: Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) - Walden at Hastings Council Action Requested: Authorize distribution of the attached Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) for the potential development of Walden at Hastings, a 511-unit residential housing development consisting of single family, twin home, town home, apartment, and senior housing. The project is generally located east of TH 316 and Michael Avenue. A simple majority of Council is necessary for action. Authorization is limited to distribution of the EAW for public comment. The Council will be asked to evaluate the findings of the EAW along with public comment at a later date. The EAW does not authorize approval of the development. Separate applications for land use entitlements including rezoning, plat, and site plan would be considered after the EAW. EAW: The environmental assessment worksheet (EAW) is a brief document designed to lay out the basic facts of a project necessary to determine if an environmental impact statement (EIS) is required for the proposed project. In addition to the legal purpose of the EAW in determining the need for an EIS, the EAW also provides permit information, informs the public about the project, and helps identify ways to protect the environment. The EAW is not meant to approve or deny a project, but instead act as a source of information to guide other approvals and permitting decisions. The proposed number of proposed housing units’ triggers completion of the EAW per state rules. The EAW was prepared by the developer’s engineer SEH and reviewed by City Staff. Next Steps: Upon authorization, public review of the document would commence with the EAW being distributed to a variety of local, state, and national authorities for review. The EAW would be published in the EQB Monitor on December 12th, with the 30-day public comment period expiring on January 11, 2024. Upon expiration of the review period, responses would be prepared to the public comments. The City Council would then consider adoption of a resolution to determine if further environmental review through and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is necessary and review the proposed findings of fact.

Project Description:    a. Provide the brief project summary to be published in the EQB Monitor, (approximately 50  words).    This 71.1‐acre housing project features a phased development plan, commencing in 2024  with a total of 511 proposed housing units. The project also includes a 17.5‐acre natural  preserve, new infrastructure, and recreational enhancements, transforming farmland  into a diverse community over a five‐year period.    b. Give a complete description of the proposed project and related new construction, including  infrastructure needs. If the project is an expansion include a description of the existing facility.  Emphasize: 1) construction, operation methods and features that will cause physical  manipulation of the environment or will produce wastes, 2) modifications to existing equipment  or industrial processes, 3) significant demolition, removal or remodeling of existing structures,  and 4) timing and duration of construction activities.    The Project includes the construcƟon of single‐family, twin homes, townhomes, apartments,  senior and active adult living, and assisted living units as part of a new development in HasƟngs,  Minnesota. The Project aims to incorporate family living in one (1) development. Whether a  person is owning their first, having their second child, living their acƟve lives in their senior  years or needs assistance and care, they are welcome. The goal is to have families living and  thriving in the same development. The proposed Project would construct the following housing  units:    Phase 1 (2024)   54 Twinhome Units (ITE Land Use: Multifamily Housing– Low‐rise)   68 Townhome Units (ITE Land Use: Multifamily Housing– Low‐rise)   170 Apartment Units (ITE Land Use: Multifamily Housing– Mid‐rise)   24 Senior Units (ITE Land Use: Assisted Living)   60 Active Senior Living Units (ITE Land Use: Senior Adult Housing (Single Family))   80 Assisted Living Units (ITE Land Use: Assisted Living)     Phase 1 (2029)   55 Single Family Homes (ITE Land Use: Single Family Detached Housing)    The property parcel is 71.1 acres of land for the housing units, storm water treatment ponds and  play/ open space.  A natural area within the parcel will be maintained as a preserve. The preserve  will be 17.5 acres of the total 71.1 acres. This protected land encompasses the eastern tree line,  steep slopes, and sand coulee prairie.    New public and private roadways will be constructed to provide access to the development from TH  316 (Red Wing Blvd). Sidewalks will be constructed along several roadways to provide pedestrian  mobility. AddiƟonal trails will be built throughout the development for mobility and recreaƟon.    The land is currently used for row crop agriculture. No exisƟng structures are present that will  require modificaƟon or removal. All of the proposed work will require grading and earthwork, which  can be accomplished with standard construcƟon equipment. The site will be mass graded to provide  the lots and roadway alignments, and will level the site to provide buildable  condiƟons.  Infrastructure for water, sewer, and storm water management will be constructed in  X-C-01       conjuncƟon with the grading to provide a site suitable for building the mulƟple living styles listed  previously.    The construcƟon will be iniƟated in 2024 to complete the mass grading and prepare the site for  development. The duraƟon of mass grading and installaƟon of the roadways will take approximately  four (4) months. Individual lots are expected to be developed over a five‐year period.    c.

Land use:    a. Describe:  i. Existing land use of the site as well as areas adjacent to and near the site, including parks  and open space, cemeteries, trails, prime or unique farmlands.    The site is currently used for row crop agricultural purposes, with a small portion of the site in the  northeast portion that is grassland and woodland.  No parks are present within the subject property,  but the nearest public land is the Hastings Wildlife Management Area, operated by the MNDNR and  located approximately 0.25 miles north of the property. The applicant is proposing to donate the  northeastern portion of the subject property to the MNDNR to become a preserve.     The nearest park is Tuttle park, which is located in the housing development directly north of the  subject property.     The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey (WSS), NRCS electronic Field  Office Technical Guide (eFOTG), and the Dakota County Soil Survey were referenced to identify prime  and unique farmland, and farmland of statewide and/or local importance within the project area.  Soils mapped and designated by the NRCS as prime farmland, prime farmland if drained, and  farmland of statewide importance are located within the vicinity of the project site as shown on  Figure 5. Soils that meet these criteria within the property include:     Waukegan silt loam, 0 to 1 percent slopes (Map Unit 411A) is classified by the NRCS as  “Prime farmland.”   Waukegan silt loam, 1 to 6 percent slopes (Map Unit 411B) is classified by the NRCS as  “Prime farmland.”    ii. Plans. Describe planned land use as identified in comprehensive plan (if available) and any  other applicable plan for land use, water, or resources management by a local, regional,  state, or federal agency.    According to the Hastings Development Staging Plan of 2040 Comprehensive Plan (Page 4‐45),  the site is identified as low residential development and park.     The City of Hastings 2040 Comprehensive Plan outlines a strategic framework for the city's  development over the next two decades. One of the primary goals of this housing initiative is to  address the need for affordable housing options. The city recognizes the importance of  accommodating various housing styles and densities to cater to the changing demographics of  households.     Given the anticipation of regional growth and the city's responsibility to accommodate its share  of this growth, additional residential development is expected up to the year 2040. To ensure  successful integration of these developments, the city aims to establish zoning regulations to  offer a diverse range of housing options.     The proposed project aims to diversify the housing options within the subject property. This  diversification includes the creation of various housing types such as apartments, duplex  houses, single‐family homes, and senior homes. While Hastings traditionally has predominantly  consisted of single‐family, detached homes, recent years have witnessed the introduction of  more diverse housing options. This diversification has been welcomed as it offers additional  choices for the city's residents.    X-C-01       The proposed project aligns with the 2040 comprehensive plan and its goals.     iii. Zoning, including special districts or overlays such as shoreland, floodplain, wild and scenic  rivers, critical area, agricultural preserves, etc.    The property has been zoned A‐ Agriculture from the Marshan Township (2023). Neighboring  properties are currently zoned as A‐ Agriculture, R‐1 Low Density Residence and R‐2 Medium  Density Residence. The proposed project is consistent with the adjacent land zone  classifications.    The project site is located outside of the 100‐year and 500‐year floodplains and outside of the  shoreland district. The closest wild and Scenic River is the Mississippi River, located 3.6 miles  north of the project site.     Project proposers would like to donate the Northeast portion of the site to the MNDNR as a  preserve, but it is not currently designated as a critical area or preserve. No critical areas as  defined by Minn. Stat., §116G nor agricultural preserves are located within a one (1) mile radius  of the project site.      iv. If any critical facilities (i.e. facilities necessary for public health and safety, those storing  hazardous materials, or those with housing occupants who may be insufficiently mobile)  are proposed in floodplain areas and other areas identified as at risk for localized flooding,  describe the risk potential considering changing precipitation and event intensity.    No work is proposed within the 100‐year or 500‐year floodplain.     b. Discuss the project’s compatibility with nearby land uses, zoning, and plans listed in Item 9a  above, concentrating on implications for environmental effects.    The project site is located adjacent to similar zones, as discussed in section iii, above. The proposed  project is compatible with nearby land uses and zoning. The site is zone as A‐ Agriculture by the City  of Hastings.     Similar potential environmental effects are associated with the existing and future uses. Non‐ significant increases in well water use (Section 11. a. ii), sanitary sewer use (Section 11. b. ii. 1.), air  emissions (Section 16) and traffic (Section 18) may result from the proposed project, which are  discussed below.    c. Identify measures incorporated into the proposed project to mitigate any  potential incompatibility as discussed in Item 10b above and any risk potential.    The property will require re‐zoning due to its current classification as A‐  Agriculture.    11. Geology, soils and topography/land forms:  a. Geology ‐ Describe the geology underlying the project area and identify and map any susceptible  geologic features such as sinkholes, shallow limestone formations, unconfined/shallow aquifers,  or karst conditions. Discuss any limitations of these features for the project and any effects the  project could have on these features. Identify any project designs or mitigation measures to  address effects to geologic features.  X-C-01         According to the Minnesota Geological Survey Dakota County Map series (1990), depth to underlying  bedrock ranges from 50 – 350 feet below the ground surface. The shallowest areas of the bedrock is  present in the northern portions of the site. The uppermost bedrock present at the site is Prairie du  Chien group and Jordan Sandstone. The Prairie du Chien group is characterized as a dolostone with  thinly bedded layers in the upper formation (Shakopee) and massive to thickly bedded layers in the  lower formation (Oneota). Figure 6 shows the geology of the project area.     Surficial geology of the site is characterized as the New Ulm Formation outwash (gravelly sand) and  postglacial floodplain alluvium in the northeastern corner. The surface topography within the project  limits is described as relatively flat within the area of potential development. In this area, there is a  topographic change of less than 10 feet, according to the 2‐foot LiDAR Topography for the area  (Figure 7). To the west, outside of the development area, there is a steep elevation drop from 830 to  750.     A small area in the northeastern portion of the site is designated as an area prone to the  development of surficial karst features, shown in Figure 8. These mapped areas include locations  where karst features can form on the land surface and where karst conditions are present in the  subsurface. This feature is located outside of the area of proposed development and because it is  located approximately 75‐feet lower in elevation than the development site, it is not expected to be  influenced by the proposed project. No known karst features (sinkholes, stream sinks, etc.) have  been documented within 1000 feet of the site.       b. Soils and topography ‐ Describe the soils on the site, giving NRCS (SCS) classifications and  descriptions, including limitations of soils. Describe topography, any special site conditions  relating to erosion potential, soil stability or other soils limitations, such as steep slopes, highly  permeable soils. Provide estimated volume and acreage of soil excavation and/or grading.  Discuss impacts from project activities (distinguish between construction and operational  activities) related to soils and topography. Identify measures during and after project  construction to address soil limitations including stabilization, soil corrections or other  measures. Erosion/sedimentation control related to stormwater runoff should be addressed in  response to Item 12.b.ii.    According to the Minnesota Geological Survey Dakota County Map series (1990), depth to underlying  bedrock ranges from 50 – 350 feet below the ground surface. The shallowest areas of the bedrock is  present in the northern portions of the site. The uppermost bedrock present at the site is Prairie du  Chien. A review of the NRCS Web Soil Survey indicates that most of the site is comprised of silt loam  (Figure 5). Soils throughout the project area are mapped as Mollisols, typical to this region of the  state.     The portion of the site that will be graded for construction does not contain steep slopes or areas of  high erosion potential. Steeper slopes are located in the Northeast portion of the site, but there will  be no earth work in this part of the site.     The depth to groundwater ranges from 0 to 50 feet below ground surface. The lowlying northeastern  portion of the site has the shallowest groundwater, whereas the western portion of the site (with  high elevation) exhibits deeper groundwater. Table 6 summarizes the soil types and texture for those  series mapped within the project limits.       X-C-01       Table 6: Mapped Soils  Soil Map Unit Soil Name  1030 Pits, sand and gravel  1815 Zumbro loamy fine sand  411A Waukegan silt loam, 0 to 1 percent slopes  411B Waukegan silt loam, 1 to 6 percent slopes  495 Zumbro fine sandy loam  611F Hawick loamy sand, 20 to 40 percent slopes  7A Hubbard loamy sand, 0 to 1 percent slopes  7C Hubbard loamy sand, 6 to 12 percent slopes    Site elevations range from 840 feet above mean sea level (msl) at the western boundary of the site  to 780‐750 msl in the eastern portion of the site within the preserve area. The project will grade and  reshape the majority of the land, except the northwestern portion, to as part of the land  development. No disturbance is proposed in the steeply sloped area. Erosion and sediment control  related to stormwater runoff is addressed below in Section 11. b. ii.    There are no soil limitations to address. The Soil Survey was reviewed and none of the soils on site  are mapped as highly erodible.  Erosion control measures will be used during construction to  minimize surface erosion and areas of soil disturbance will be revegetated and managed for erosion  and weed control. The project will result in a residential development, which will provide long‐term  erosion control through development of vegetated lawns and landscaping. Treatment for  stormwater runoff is discussed in greater detail in section 12.b.ii below.       NOTE: For silica sand projects, the EAW must include a hydrogeologic investigation assessing the  potential groundwater and surface water effects and geologic conditions that could create an  increased risk of potentially significant effects on groundwater and surface water. Descriptions of  water resources and potential effects from the project in EAW Item 12 must be consistent with the  geology, soils and topography/land forms and potential effects described in EAW Item 11.  X-C-01       12. Water resources:    a. Describe surface water and groundwater features on or near the site in a.i. and a.ii. below.    i. Surface water ‐ lakes, streams, wetlands, intermittent channels, and county/judicial ditches.  Include any special designations such as public waters, shoreland classification and  floodway/floodplain, trout stream/lake, wildlife lakes, migratory waterfowl feeding/resting  lake, and outstanding resource value water. Include the presence of aquatic invasive species  and the water quality impairments or special designations listed on the current MPCA 303d  Impaired Waters List that are within 1 mile of the project. Include DNR Public Waters  Inventory number(s), if any.    Watersheds  As defined by the MNDNR, the project area is located within the Mississippi River – Lake  Pepin (#38) major watershed, and unnamed DNR Minor Watershed #38028. The project is  located within the Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization.     Public Waters  The MnDNR public waters dataset was used to identify surface waters within or nearby the  project area. The review identified Unnamed Creek (M‐049‐000.8), as a MnDNR public  water within the Project area. The proposed Project boundary includes a portion of  Unnamed Creek (M‐049‐000.8), however the creek is located in the portion of the Project  proposed for preservation, and will not be impacted. No other MnDNR public waters are  located within a 1‐mile radius of the Project. Unnamed Creek (M‐049‐000.8) flows north to  its confluence with the Vermillion River (M‐049) at Bullfrog Lake (a designated MnDNR  public water wetland). Vermillion River flows east to its confluence with the Mississippi  River, approximately 3.5 miles east of the Project area.     Public waters within or adjacent to the project area are shown in Figure 9.    MPCA 303d Impaired Waters   There are no MPCA 303d Impaired Waters within one mile of the Project area.    MPCA Exceptional Aquatic Life Use Waters or Outstanding Resource Value Waters   There are no MPCA Exceptional Aquatic Life Use Waters or Outstanding Resource Value  Waters within a 1‐mile radius of the Project area. The St. Croix River is a Outstanding  Resource Value Water and is located approximately 3.1 miles north of the Project area, near  its confluence with the Mississippi River. No impacts to the St. Croix River will result from  the Project.    Floodway/Floodplain  The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL)  dataset was used to identify regulated floodways or floodplains located in or adjacent to the  Project area. The portion of the Mississippi River adjacent to the Project area is designated  as a 100‐year Floodplain (Figure 9). The Mississippi River is located more than three (3)  miles from the Project area; no impacts to the floodplain will result from the Project.    Wetlands  Figure 10 depicts wetlands in the Project area mapped by the USFWS National Wetlands  Inventory (NWI). No wetlands are present within the Project boundary.        X-C-01         ii. Groundwater – aquifers, springs, seeps. Include: 1) depth to groundwater; 2) if project is  within a MDH wellhead protection area; 3) identification of any onsite and/or nearby wells,  including unique numbers and well logs if available. If there are no wells known on site or  nearby, explain the methodology used to determine this.    Groundwater  Regional groundwater flows into the Mississippi River. The depth to groundwater ranges  from 0 to 50 feet below ground surface.    Water Wells  A review of the Minnesota Well Index identified several wells nearby the proposed project  corridor. No wells are located within proposed Project boundary as shown in Figure 11.  Wells adjacent to the Project are summarized in Table 7 below.    Table 7 ‐ Wells adjacent to the Project  Unique Well No. Well Address or  Approximate Location  Well Depth (feet)  00821154 17150 Red Wing Blvd 500  00579627 17162 Red Wing Blvd 350  00243739 Martin Ave & Michael Ln 151    The Minnesota Well Index does not represent all wells in the state, but it is the single most  complete listing of state wells. If any unused or unsealed wells are discovered in the  project area during the design process or construction, they would be addressed following  Minnesota Rules, Chapter 4725.    Wellhead Protection Areas  Wellhead Protection Areas (WHPAs) are areas around a public water supply well that  contribute groundwater to the well. Contamination of water or the land surface in these  areas can affect the drinking water supply provided by the well. The purpose of a WHPA is  to protect the surface and subsurface area surrounding a public water supply from  contaminants entering the drinking water supply.    The Minnesota Department of Health’s (MDH) WHPA database was reviewed to identify  WHPAs in or near the project corridor. The boundary of the Hastings WHPA is located  approximately 300 feet northwest of the Project area.    Drinking Water Supply Management Areas  Drinking Water Supply Management Areas (DWSMAs) are areas containing the wellhead  protection area. The boundary of the Hastings DWSMA is located approximately 100 feet  northwest of the Project area. The Hastings DWSMA is managed in the City of Hastings’  Wellhead Protection Plan. The project would meet requirements of the City of Hastings’  MS4 permits. Four (4) stormwater infiltration BMPs are proposed adjacent to the DWSMA.  During final design, further study would be conducted to determine if infiltration can be  safely implemented in accordance with the standards of the DWSMA.     X-C-01         b. Describe effects from project activities on water resources and measures to minimize or mitigate  the effects in Item b.i. through Item b.iv. below.    i. Wastewater ‐ For each of the following, describe the sources, quantities and composition of  all sanitary, municipal/domestic and industrial wastewater produced or treated at the site.    1) If the wastewater discharge is to a publicly owned treatment facility, identify any  pretreatment measures and the ability of the facility to handle the added water and  waste loadings, including any effects on, or required expansion of, municipal  wastewater infrastructure.    Wastewater from the Project would be discharged to a publicly owned treatment  facility (the wastewater treatment facility in Hastings). Wastewater would consist  of domestic wastewater typical for residential developments. No pretreatment  measures would be necessary. The City of Hastings will review the Project’s needs  during the Building Permit process.    A new wastewater treatment facility is being constructed to better serve the City.    2) If the wastewater discharge is to a subsurface sewage treatment systems (SSTS),  describe the system used, the design flow, and suitability of site conditions for such  a system. If septic systems are part of the project, describe the availability of  septage disposal options within the region to handle the ongoing amounts  generated as a result of the project. Consider the effects of current Minnesota  climate trends and anticipated changes in rainfall frequency, intensity and amount  with this discussion.    Not applicable    3) If the wastewater discharge is to surface water, identify the wastewater treatment  methods and identify discharge points and proposed effluent limitations to mitigate  impacts. Discuss any effects to surface or groundwater from wastewater discharges,  taking into consideration how current Minnesota climate trends and anticipated  climate change in the general location of the project may influence the effects.    Not applicable    ii. Stormwater ‐ Describe changes in surface hydrology resulting from change of land cover.  Describe the routes and receiving water bodies for runoff from the project site (major  downstream water bodies as well as the immediate receiving waters). Discuss  environmental effects from stormwater discharges on receiving waters post construction  including how the project will affect runoff volume, discharge rate and change in pollutants.  Consider the effects of current Minnesota climate trends and anticipated changes in rainfall  frequency, intensity and amount with this discussion. For projects requiring NPDES/SDS  Construction Stormwater permit coverage, state the total number of acres that will be  disturbed by the project and describe the stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP),  including specific best management practices to address soil erosion and sedimentation  during and after project construction. Discuss permanent stormwater management plans,  including methods of achieving volume reduction to restore or maintain the natural  hydrology of the site using green infrastructure practices or other stormwater management  practices. Identify any receiving waters that have construction‐related water impairments  or are classified as special as defined in the Construction Stormwater permit. Describe  X-C-01       additional requirements for special and/or impaired waters.    The Project would result in the conversion of approximately 19.45 acres of cropland to  impervious surface (see Item 8, Table 4). As discussed in Item 8, the curvilinear plat design  was selected, which results in 45% less lineal feet of public roads, 300% more 8‐foor wide  trail, 24% less street paving (including public roads and private lanes serving the  townhomes), and 57% less sidewalk than the “conventional” plat design.    The Project will be designed to manage runoff and discharge and thereby avoid soil erosion  and sedimentation. Four (4) stormwater ponds are planned for the project, which would  provide catchment to stormwater runoff. Ponds will be designed based on City (City  Ordinance 152) and MPCA standards during preliminary plat design.    The Project will disturb more than one (1) acre of land and therefore will require a National  Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Construction Stormwater General Permit  from the MPCA. Construction of the Project will require the utilization of best management  practices (BMPs_ to prevent erosion and sedimentation. BMPs proposed for the Project will  be described in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), which will be submitted  to the MPCA for review. The grading and erosion control plans for the Project will be  reviewed as part of the City of Hasting’s building permit process.    iii. Water appropriation ‐ Describe if the project proposes to appropriate surface or  groundwater (including dewatering). Describe the source, quantity, duration, use and  purpose of the water use and if a DNR water appropriation permit is required. Describe any  well abandonment. If connecting to an existing municipal water supply, identify the wells to  be used as a water source and any effects on, or required expansion of, municipal water  infrastructure. Discuss environmental effects from water appropriation, including an  assessment of the water resources available for appropriation. Discuss how the proposed  water use is resilient in the event of changes in total precipitation, large precipitation  events, drought, increased temperatures, variable surface water flows and elevations, and  longer growing seasons. Identify any measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate  environmental effects from the water appropriation. Describe contingency plans should the  appropriation volume increase beyond infrastructure capacity or water supply for the  project diminish in quantity or quality, such as reuse of water, connections with another  water source, or emergency connections.    Not applicable    iv. Surface Waters    a) Wetlands ‐ Describe any anticipated physical effects or alterations to wetland  features such as draining, filling, permanent inundation, dredging and vegetative  removal. Discuss direct and indirect environmental effects from physical  modification of wetlands, including the anticipated effects that any proposed  wetland alterations may have to the host watershed, taking into consideration how  current Minnesota climate trends and anticipated climate change in the general  location of the project may influence the effects. Identify measures to avoid (e.g.,  available alternatives that were considered), minimize, or mitigate environmental  effects to wetlands. Discuss whether any required compensatory wetland mitigation  for unavoidable wetland impacts will occur in the same minor or major watershed  and identify those probable locations.    X-C-01       There are no wetlands in the Project area, therefore no impacts to wetland will  result.    b) Other surface waters‐ Describe any anticipated physical effects or alterations to  surface water features (lakes, streams, ponds, intermittent channels, county/judicial  ditches) such as draining, filling, permanent inundation, dredging, diking, stream  diversion, impoundment, aquatic plant removal and riparian alteration. Discuss  direct and indirect environmental effects from physical modification of water  features, taking into consideration how current Minnesota climate trends and  anticipated climate change in the general location of the project may influence the  effects. Identify measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate environmental effects to  surface water features, including in‐water Best Management Practices that are  proposed to avoid or minimize turbidity/sedimentation while physically altering the  water features. Discuss how the project will change the number or type of  watercraft on any water body, including current and projected watercraft usage.    The proposed Project boundary includes a portion of Unnamed Creek (M‐049‐ 000.8); however, the creek is located in the portion of the Project proposed for  preservation, and will not be impacted.    13. Contamination/Hazardous Materials/Wastes:    a. Pre‐project site conditions ‐ Describe existing contamination or potential environmental hazards  on or in close proximity to the project site such as soil or ground water contamination,  abandoned dumps, closed landfills, existing or abandoned storage tanks, and hazardous liquid  or gas pipelines. Discuss any potential environmental effects from pre‐project site conditions  that would be caused or exacerbated by project construction and operation. Identify measures  to avoid, minimize or mitigate adverse effects from existing contamination or potential  environmental hazards. Include development of a Contingency Plan or Response Action Plan.    A query of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s (MPCA) “What’s in my Neighborhood”  online database (https://www.pca.state.mn.us/data/whats‐my‐neighborhood ‐ accessed  August 2023) identified two (2) active sites within 0.5 miles of the Project (Table 8). Both active  sites are construction stormwater features.    Table 8 – What’s in my Neighborhood Query Results  Site ID / MPCA ID Status Activity  130657 / C00030944 Active Construction Stormwater  150944 / C00039885 Active Construction Stormwater    The project does not expect to encounter contaminants during construction. If contaminated  soil is encountered the state duty officer would be contacted immediately.    b. Project related generation/storage of solid wastes ‐ Describe solid wastes generated/stored  during construction and/or operation of the project. Indicate method of disposal. Discuss  potential environmental effects from solid waste handling, storage and disposal. Identify  measures to avoid, minimize or mitigate adverse effects from the generation/storage of solid  waste including source reduction and recycling.    Construction wastes are anticipated to be typical of residential developments and would be  managed as municipal solid waste (MSW) or construction / demolition debris.  Regulated  solid wastes generated by construction would be handled and disposed of in a permitted,  X-C-01       licensed solid waste facility or a similarly regulated facility following applicable local, state,  and federal regulations. The contractor would be required to manage and dispose of all  construction‐generated waste in accordance with MPCA requirements and all other  applicable regulatory requirements. Construction wastes would either be recycled or stored  in approved containers and disposed of in the proper facilities. Any excess soil material that  is not suitable for use onsite would become the property of the contractor and would be  disposed of properly. All solid waste would be managed according to MPCA and other  regulatory requirements.    The EPA estimates the total generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) in the United States  in 2018 was 4.9 pounds per person per day. The 4.9 pounds per person per day was used as  a waste generation rate, for the purposes of estimating waste generation related to the  Project. The total number of residents for the 511 housing units, is 1,022 people. An  estimated 829 tons of municipal solid waste will be generated by residents of the Project.  The collection of MSW would be managed by a licensed waste hauler. The Project would  adhere to all MPCA requirements and other regulations pertaining to the use, handling, and  disposal of solid waste. Recycling areas would be provided in compliance with the Minnesota  State Building code.    c. Project related use/storage of hazardous materials ‐ Describe chemicals/hazardous materials  used/stored during construction and/or operation of the project including method of storage.  Indicate the number, location and size of any new above or below ground tanks to store  petroleum or other materials. Indicate the number, location, size and age of existing tanks on  the property that the project will use. Discuss potential environmental effects from accidental  spill or release of hazardous materials. Identify measures to avoid, minimize or mitigate adverse  effects from the use/storage of chemicals/hazardous materials including source reduction and  recycling. Include development of a spill prevention plan.    Fuel and lubricants necessary for construction equipment during construction would be present  in the proposed Project area. These materials would be used during active construction only,  and the contractor would be required to abide by the Pollution Prevention Management  Measures (Part IV.F.2) of the NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit. No other toxic or  hazardous materials would be present. All toxic or hazardous materials would be removed from  the project corridor upon completion of construction. If a spill occurs, appropriate action to  remediate would be taken immediately in accordance with the MPCA guidelines and  regulations.     No permanent above‐ or below‐ground fuel storage tanks are planned for use in conjunction  with this project. Temporary fuel storage tanks would be positioned in the project corridor for  construction equipment during construction. Appropriate measures would be taken to avoid  leaks and/or spills. If a leak or spill occurs, appropriate action to remediate the leak or spill  would be taken immediately in accordance with MPCA guidelines and regulations.    d. Project related generation/storage of hazardous wastes ‐ Describe hazardous wastes  generated/stored during construction and/or operation of the project. Indicate method of  disposal. Discuss potential environmental effects from hazardous waste handling, storage, and  disposal. Identify measures to avoid, minimize or mitigate adverse effects from the  generation/storage of hazardous waste including source reduction and recycling    The Project is not anticipated to generate or require to the storage of hazardous waste during  construction. During operations, the Project may generate or require storage of hazardous  water, typical for residential developments.    X-C-01       14. Fish, wildlife, plant communities, and sensitive ecological resources (rare features):  a. Describe fish and wildlife resources as well as habitats and vegetation on or in near the site.  The Project is located in the Oak Savanna (222Me) ecological subsection of the Minnesota & NE Iowa  Morainal (222M) ecological section, within the Eastern Broadleaf Forest ecological province. Prior to  settlement, the vegetation in the Oak Savanna ecological subsection was comprised of burr oak, with  areas of tallgrass prairie and maple‐basswood forest. Presently, most of this ecological subsection  has been converted to farmland. The Project area is primarily comprised of existing farmland, with a  portion of wooded / forested bluff in the northeast portion.   The Hastings Sand Coulee Scientific and Natural Area (SNA) is located directly north of the Project  area. The SNA is named after the Hastings Sand Coulee, a 2.5 mile‐long valley once occupied by a  glacial stream that now supports the most significant dry prairie in Dakota County. The SNA is home  to many rare species, including plants such as James' polanisia, sea‐beach needlegrass, and clasping  milkweed, and animals such as the regal fritillary butterfly, Ottoe skipper, gopher snake, blue racer  and loggerhead shrike. The Hastings Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is directly adjacent to the  SNA, and located north of the Project area. The WMA is managed to provide habitat for grassland  species, pheasants, and turkey. The Gores Pool #3 WMA is also located approximately 2 miles  northeast of the Project. This WMA consists entirely of Mississippi and Vermillion River Flood Plain  Forest and backwater marshes. This WMA is managed to provide habitat for forest song birds,  furbearers, grassland species, wetland species, migratory waterfowl, raptors, deer, and turkey.  A MnDNR public water course runs through the Project area. Unnamed Creek (M‐049‐000.8),  however the creek is located in the portion of the Project proposed for preservation, and will not be  impacted. Unnamed Creek (M‐049‐000.8) flows north to its confluence with the Vermillion River (M‐ 049). According to the MnDNR, the Vermillion River is the largest stream in Dakota County. A portion  of the Vermillion River upstream of the Project area, is a designated trout stream and sustains  populations of brown trout and rainbow trout.   The project area is located within the Mississippi Flyway, which is the most heavily used migration  corridor for waterfowl and other migratory birds. Approximately 40% of North America’s waterfowl  and shorebirds, an estimated 760,000 dabbling ducks, use this corridor The Vermillion Bottoms –  Lower Cannon River Important Bird Area (IBA), Mississippi River Twin Cities IBA, and St. Croix Lake  IBA are located directly north of the project area. The three (3) IBAs are located at the junction of the  St. Croix and the Mississippi rivers are a critical migratory corridor for waterfowl, forest songbirds,  raptors, and waterbirds. The Vermillion Bottoms – Lower Cannon River IBA is one (1) of the top four  (4) sites in Minnesota for rare forest birds, and highest numbers of two (2) special concern bird  species in southeast Minnesota: red‐shouldered hawks and cerulean warblers. It also provides  important nesting and/or migratory habitat for peregrine falcons, bald eagles, and Acadian  flycatchers, and includes a bald eagle winter roost site and two (2) colonial nesting sites for great  blue herons and great egrets.    b. Describe rare features such as state‐listed (endangered, threatened or special concern) species,  native plant communities, Minnesota Biological Survey Sites of Biodiversity Significance, and other  sensitive ecological resources on or within close proximity to the site. Provide the license  agreement number and/or correspondence number from which the data were obtained and attach  the Natural Heritage Review letter from the DNR. Indicate if any additional habitat or species survey  work has been conducted within the site and describe the results.       X-C-01       MnDNR Consultation & State‐Listed Species  A request for a Natural Heritage Review was submitted through the Minnesota Conservation  Explorer. The Review was received on May 10th, 2023, as Correspondence # MCE 2023‐00044. The  Review identified one (1) state‐listed plant species within the vicinity of the project area:  Lechea tenuifolia – Narrow‐leaved Pinweed – State Endangered. A field survey for listed species was  August 4th, 2023, by John Thayer. An intuitive meander methodology was utilized while covering as  much of the survey area as possible. When unique and/or potential habitats were located, these  habitats were thoroughly searched.     A total of 93 vascular plant species were noted during the survey. One state‐listed plant species was  observed: Polanisia jamesii – James’ Polanisia – State Endangered (Table 9). James’ polanisia is a  distinctive plant that is readily identifiable by its small white flowers that have two erect and  fringed petals that are broader than the rest, leaves that are divided into three narrow leaflets, and  the presence of odorous glandular hairs on the leaves and stems. A census of James’ polanisia was  completed. 82 individuals were counted. The population was restricted to a sloped segment of ATV  trail along which sandy soil had been exposed and eroded and was, apart from the presence of  James’ polanisia, mostly unvegetated.    Table 9.  State‐Listed Species  Species Status Habitat  James’ Polanisia  (Polanisia jamesii) Endangered  Occurs on sandy or sandy‐gravelly soil in dry open setting with  sand prairie species. Found on post‐glacial stream deposits, in  coulees or small valleys.    Federally‐Listed Species  According to a planning‐level query of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information,  Planning, and Consultation System (IPaC) requested August 25, 2023, the project area is within the  distribution range of federally‐listed species. These include the endangered northern long‐eared  bat (Myotis septentrionalis), the proposed endangered tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus), an  experimental population of whooping crane (Grus americana), the endangered rusty patched  bumble bee (Bombus affinis), and the candidate monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) as  summarized in Table 10 below.     Table 10.  Federally‐Listed Species  Species Status Habitat  Northern Long‐eared Bat  (Myotis septentrionalis), Endangered  Roosts trees in forests during active season from April  through October. Hibernate in caves and mines October  through April.  Tricolored Bat  (Perimyotis subflavus).  Proposed  Endangered  Roosts trees in forests during active season from April  through October. Hibernate in caves and mines October  through April.  Whooping Crane  (Grus americana)  Experimental  Population  The whooping crane breeds, migrates, winters, and forages  in a variety of wetland habitats.  Rusty Patched Bumble  Bee (Bombus affinis) Endangered  Nest in abandoned rodents nests or mammal burrows in  upland grasslands and shrublands during the summer and  fall. Overwinter in upland forest and woodlands.  Monarch Butterfly  (Danaus plexippus) Candidate Grassland/prairie habitat where milkweeds (Asclepias spp.)  and other forbs are present.       X-C-01       There are no known occurrences of northern long‐eared bat or tricolored bat roosts or hibernacula  within or adjacent to the Project.    IPaC did not identify any mapped critical habitat within or adjacent to the Project.    Native Plant Communities & Minnesota Biological Survey Sites of Biodiversity Significance  The Minnesota DNR Native Plant Community (NPC) data layer identified a Dry Sand – Gravel Prairie  (Ups13b) NPC within and adjacent to the Project area. This NPC overlaps the Marshan 11 North SBS,  which is ranked as outstanding. However, these areas are not proposed for impact and instead are  proposed for preservation.     Calcareous Fens  The nearest known calcareous fen is Kelleher Park, located over 20 miles west of the Project.    DNR Old Growth Stands  Old‐growth forests are natural forests that have developed over a long period of time, generally at  least 120 years, without experiencing severe, stand‐replacing disturbances such as fires,  windstorms, or logging. The nearest old‐growth forests is located over 12 miles southeast of the  Project.    Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan  The Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan, a 25‐year strategy for accelerating prairie conservation in  the state, identifies Core Areas, Corridors, and Corridor Complexes as areas to focus conservation  efforts. No Core Areas, Corridors, or Corridor Complexes were identified in the vicinity of Project.    Lakes of Biological Significance  Lakes of Biological Significance are high quality lakes as determined by the aquatic plant, fish, bird,  or amphibian communities present within the lake. The Mississippi River U.S. Lock & Dam #2 Pool,  Mississippi River U.S. Lock & Dam #3 Pool, the Mississippi River – North, and the St. Croix River –  Stillwater/Prescott are Lakes of Biological Significance located within a five (5) mile radius of the  Project.     c. Discuss how the identified fish, wildlife, plant communities, rare features and ecosystems may be  affected by the project including how current Minnesota climate trends and anticipated climate  change in the general location of the project may influence the effects. Include a discussion on  introduction and spread of invasive species from the project construction and operation. Separately  discuss effects to known threatened and endangered species.    Vegetation  Much of the proposed Project area has been previously converted to agriculture or impacted by  agriculture. Approximately 11 acres of woodland / forest and 49 acres of cropland would be directly  converted to developed area. Areas of grassland would increase from approximately 12 acres to 18  acres as a result of the Project. Temporary construction‐related impacts would also be anticipated  to occur, and temporary staging areas could impact native vegetation depending on location and  duration. Soil disturbances during construction may provide conditions suitable for infestations  nonnative and/or invasive plant species.    Fish and Wildlife   Although much of the proposed Project spans areas that have been converted to agriculture or  impacted by agriculture, it would introduce motorized traffic and other roadway activities into  wildlife habitats contributing to habit fragmentation. This could degrade wildlife and fish habitat  through soil disturbance and sedimentation, vegetation clearing, noise and light pollution from  X-C-01       motorists, and the introduction of invasive plant species. The project would increase impervious  surface in the project area thereby increasing runoff which could impact fish and other aquatic  species if not properly treated.    Rare Features/Habitats  Invasive plant species could be spread along roadways, expanding their populations and seedbank  across the landscape, thereby increasing the likelihood of infestation elsewhere.    State‐Listed Species  Minnesota's populations of James' Polanisia are disjunct from its primary range in the south  central Great Plains, west of the Mississippi River where it grows on dry, sand prairies. In the  Upper Midwest it is rare, restricted to sandy or gravelly prairies and slopes near the  Mississippi River. They also risk being dislodged and killed by normal natural erosion on the  unstable slopes and sandy places where they occur.     An immediate threat is encroachment by woody plants or taller more aggressive plants that  can either shade or crowd out this small species. Wildfires and the action of wind probably  kept its sand prairie habitat more open in the past. Residential development limits the  possibility of using fire, but hand removal of brush is still a viable management activity that  could help spare this plant from further decline.    Climate Trends:  Over the upcoming decades, Minnesota's climate is expected to undergo changes, marked by  a consistent rise in both average temperatures and precipitation per decade. Given the  current scarcity of wildlife habitat in the project area, it is predicted that the effects of climate  change on any potentially existing species at the site in the future will likely be minimal or  non‐existent within the scope of the proposed project. The broader regional climate changes  outlined in Section 7, such as altered precipitation patterns and higher temperatures, are  anticipated to impact wildlife on a larger scale across their ranges, manifesting with varying  degrees of severity.       d. Identify measures that will be taken to avoid, minimize, or mitigate the adverse effects to fish,  wildlife, plant communities, ecosystems, and sensitive ecological resources.    Vegetation  Ground disturbance associated with construction would be minimized to the greatest extent  practicable. This would include limiting the size of construction staging areas and access  routes. Construction staging can be located within agricultural fields to avoid impacts to  native vegetation. Re‐grading and the re‐establishment of appropriate vegetation would be  completed post constriction. Areas not proposed for turf vegetation would be seeded with an  appropriate native seed mix.    Fish and Wildlife  Wildlife habitat fragmentation would be mitigated by minimizing vegetation clearing. Tree  clearing would occur between November 15th to March 31st.    See item 12 for details regarding the proposed permanent stormwater treatment solutions to  mitigate potential impacts from runoff from impervious surface. Erosion control products  with plastic fiber additives would not be utilized in areas connected to Public Waters.    Work Exclusion Dates recognized by the MPCA NDPES general permit for authorization of  X-C-01       discharge stormwater associated with construction activities (Permit MN R10001) for MnDNR  “work in water restrictions” during specified fish migration and spawning timeframes for  areas adjacent to water. During the restriction period, all exposed soil areas that are within  200 feet of the water’s edge and drain to these waters must have erosion prevention  stabilization activities initiated immediately after construction activity has ceased and be  completed within 24 hours. The restriction dates for non‐trout streams, i.e., Unnamed Creek  (M‐049‐000.8), in the project area are March 15th through June 15th.    Federally‐Listed Species  Tree clearing would be restricted to between November 15th and March 31st to not coincide  with the active season of the northern long‐eared bat and the tricolored bat. Trees would be  inspected for raptor “stick‐nests” prior to cutting and removal.    State‐Listed Species  The project has potential to impact James' Polanisia through direct impact and habitat  disturbance or destruction through fill, excavation, and general construction. Minnesota’s  Endangered Species Statute (Minnesota Statutes, section 84.0895) and associated Rules  (Minnesota Rules, part 6212.1800 to 6212.2300 and 6134) prohibit the take of threatened or  endangered species without a permit. If any incidental take of state‐listed species is planned,  an application for a permit for the take of endangered or threatened species incidental to a  development project must be submitted. A permit will be considered only when the proposal  provides convincing justification that all alternatives have been considered and rejected, and  that take is unavoidable.    15. Historic properties:  Describe any historic structures, archeological sites, and/or traditional cultural properties on or in  close proximity to the site. Include: 1) historic designations, 2) known artifact areas, and 3)  architectural features. Attach letter received from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).  Discuss any anticipated effects to historic properties during project construction and operation.  Identify measures that will be taken to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects to historic  properties.  MN Office of the State Archeologist Portal Review  A review of publicly available data from the Office of the State Archeologist (OSA) Portal  identified one (1) archaeology site within the same section as the project area. This EAW will be  filed with the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board (MEQB) and circulated to the required  MEQB distribution list, which includes the OSA, for review and comment. Any comments received  from the OSA would be disclosed in the project’s Findings of Fact and Conclusions document.    MN State Historic Preservation Office  As part of the early coordination efforts for the Project, the MN State Historic Preservation  (SHPO) was consulted (SHPO Number 2023‐0826). SHPO recommended, but did not require, a  Phase 1a literature review and archaeological assessment to be completed.    National Register of Historic Places  A query of the properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places identified several  historic properties in Dakota County, 17 in the City of Hastings. The Ramsey Mill and Old Mill Park  is the closest historic property to the Project, and is located approximately 2.3 miles away. No  adverse effects to the Ramsey Mill and Old Mill Park or any other historic properties will result  from the proposed Project.      X-C-01       16. Visual:    Describe any scenic views or vistas on or near the project site. Describe any project related visual  effects such as vapor plumes or glare from intense lights. Discuss the potential visual effects from  the project. Identify any measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate visual effects.    No scenic views or vistas are located on or near the Project. The Project will not create vapor plumes or  glare from intense lights. The Project is a proposed residential development, and would be consistent  with the surrounding residential area. Landscaping will be included with the Project and may contribute  to the overall visual aesthetics. Plans for the installation of street lighting will be reviewed as part of the  building permit review process.    17. Air:    a. Stationary source emissions ‐ Describe the type, sources, quantities and compositions of any  emissions from stationary sources such as boilers or exhaust stacks. Include any hazardous air  pollutants, criteria pollutants. Discuss effects to air quality including any sensitive receptors,  human health or applicable regulatory criteria. Include a discussion of any methods used assess  the project’s effect on air quality and the results of that assessment. Identify pollution control  equipment and other measures that will be taken to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects  from stationary source emissions.    The project would not construct/introduce stationary emission sources.    b. Vehicle emissions ‐ Describe the effect of the project’s traffic generation on air emissions.  Discuss the project’s vehicle‐related emissions effect on air quality. Identify measures (e.g.  traffic operational improvements, diesel idling minimization plan) that will be taken to minimize  or mitigate vehicle‐related emissions.    The project is not located in an area in where conformity requirements apply. Traffic generated  by the Project is not anticipated to result in air quality impacts. There will be an increase in  vehicle trips associated with the Project (as addressed in Item 20), however this is not  anticipated to lead to a high concentration of air pollutants.     Construction‐related vehicle emissions may arise from the use of equipment. These emissions  are anticipated to be minor and temporary in nature. Therefore, no further air quality analysis  is necessary.    c. Dust and odors ‐ Describe sources, characteristics, duration, quantities, and intensity of dust and  odors generated during project construction and operation. (Fugitive dust may be discussed  under item 17a). Discuss the effect of dust and odors in the vicinity of the project including  nearby sensitive receptors and quality of life. Identify measures that will be taken to minimize or  mitigate the effects of dust and odors.    The project would generate odors during construction. These include exhaust from diesel and  gasoline engines and fuel storage. Odor generation during construction would be temporary and  sporadic in location and duration.    Dust generated during construction would be minimized through standard dust control  measures such as applying water to exposed soils and limiting the extent and duration of  exposed soil conditions. Construction contractors would be required to control dust and other  airborne particulates in accordance with applicable governmental specifications. Dust would be  X-C-01       visually monitored and recorded with NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit inspections. The  post‐construction dust levels are anticipated to be minimal as all exposed soil surfaces would be  paved or re‐vegetated.    18. Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions/Carbon Footprint    a. GHG Quantification: For all proposed projects, provide quantification and discussion of project  GHG emissions. Include additional rows in the tables as necessary to provide project‐specific  emission sources. Describe the methods used to quantify emissions. If calculation methods are  not readily available to quantify GHG emissions for a source, describe the process used to come  to that conclusion and any GHG emission sources not included in the total calculation.    GHG emissions related to the Project were calculated using emission factors and consumption data5  from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Table 11, below show the shows the emission  categories for project carbon footprint calculations, as provided in the EQB Guidance.

Construction Emissions  Construction emissions are associated with fuel combustion from mobile vehicles and stationary  construction equipment. According to the plans, construction will begin in spring 2024, with Phase 1  infrastructure (i.e., grading and roadway construction) completed by Fall 2024. Individual housing  units (Phase 2) are expected to be developed over a five (5) year period. For this assessment,  construction GHG emissions included:   On‐road vehicle emissions (dump trucks, semi‐trucks, commuting construction workers, etc.)   Off‐road vehicle emissions (earthmoving equipment such as excavators, loaders, cranes, etc.)  Operation of on‐road vehicles for Phase 1 is estimated to consist of 20 passenger cars per day, 20  dump trucks per day, and 20 semi‐trucks per day. For the purposes of this assessment, Phase 1  construction is assumed to be ongoing May 1 through August 31, 2024, or 120 days. While the  number of construction days may ultimately be less than the maximum of 120 days due to weather  or other site conditions, this was the number of days used for this GHG assessment to consider the  maximum emissions generated from the proposed Project. On‐road vehicles are estimated to travel  30 miles per day.  Emission factors are based on Table 2, 3, and 4 of the EPA’s Emission Factors Hub6.  An assumed vehicle year of 2007 was used for gas mileage efficiency. Carbon emissions related to  the on‐road vehicle emissions is estimated to be 252.4 metric tons.        5 ce2.3.pdf (eia.gov)

Off‐road vehicle emissions include those generated by construction equipment that will remain on  the Project site for the duration of construction. There are potential differences in the specific  equipment utilized based on the contractor selected to complete the work. For the purposes of this  assessment, it is assumed that six (6) diesel‐powered off‐road construction vehicles (2 earthmovers,  3 excavators, 1 skid steer), would be in operation during the construction period. The default diesel  fuel consumption rate of 0.05 gallons per horsepower‐hour7 is used to determine the fuel usage for  all equipment.Construction is assumed to be ongoing from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm during this time (i.e.,  15 hours per day), resulting in a total of 1,800 hours total. Emission factors are based on Table 2 and  5 of the EPA’s Emission Factors Hub8. According to this GHG assessment for the Project, carbon  emissions related to the off‐road vehicle emissions is estimated to be 982.8 metric tons.     Table 13 ‐ Off‐road vehicle Emissions

For the Phase 1 of the Project, the total estimated emissions are 1,238.2 metric tons of CO2e per  year for the on‐road and off‐road mobile sources. Phase 2 will construct the proposed housing units  over the course of five (5) years. For the purposes of this assessment, estimates for Phase 1 are  assumed to be similar to those for each year of Phase 2. The estimate of 1,238.2 metric tons of CO2e,  is extrapolated for the subsequent five (5) years, to total 7,411.2 metric tons of CO2e for construction  of the complete project. Over the Project lifetime, the total construction emissions annualized over  50 years equates to 148.2 metric tons per year.    There is also an annual GHG emission attributable to land use conversion due to the loss of the   GHG sink capacity of the existing grassland, cropland, and forest. Acres of pre‐project land use type

case scenario sequestration rate of 2.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide per acre per year was utilized  for the purposes of this assessment. This sequestration rate is based on forested community types;  actual sequestration rates for grassland, cropland, and lawn/landscaping are likely much lower. The

Operational Emissions – Mobile Sources  To estimate traffic emissions, it was assumed that there is one vehicle per household, and that each  vehicle travels 12,000 miles per year10. Additionally, it is assumed that each apartment building unit  receives 2 delivery trucks per day, and each single family unit receives a delivery truck every third  day. Delivery trucks are estimated to travel 20 miles per day per vehicle for 365 days, equating to  7,300 miles per year.    Emissions were calculated using the estimated number of vehicles (i.e., one per household unit) and  delivery trucks. It is assumed that residents drive gasoline‐powered, light‐duty vehicles and deliveries  are made by diesel‐powered, heavy‐duty vehicles. An average gas mileage of 22.8 miles per gallon  was used for light duty vehicles11. An average gas mileage of 7.5 miles per gallon was used for heavy‐ duty vehicles12. The total annual emissions generated from the Project related to mobile sources is  2,432.7 metric tons per year. A project lifetime of 50 years equates to a total of 121,636 metric tons.       9 Best Practices for Including Carbon Sinks in Greenhouse Gas Inventories (epa.gov)

GHG Assessment    14 National Overview: Facts and Figures on Materials, Wastes and Recycling | US EPA  X-C-01       i. Describe any mitigation considered to reduce the project’s GHG emissions.  Construction‐related emissions will be exempt as de minimis and they will meet the conformity  requirements under Section 176 (c) of the Clean Air Act, and 40 CFR 93.153. The project sponsor  will encourage the selected contractor to reduce GHG emissions from construction, which may  include minimizing idling equipment or encouraging carpooling to the site by equipment  operators.  There are several design features that are planned to reduce overall energy consumption and  emissions. It is the assumption that materials listed below will be used throughout the  development. Every building may not have every item, but all would be covered throughout the  entire development. These include:   Use of energy efficient building materials, to reduce need for heating and cooling   Installation of programmable thermostats   Use of energy‐efficient appliances and electronics   Use of efficient fluorescent lighting   Installation of roofing materials, that reflect solar energy   Low or no VOC paints, adhesives, and solvents   Reduce and recycle construction waste   Preservation of natural space  ii. Describe and quantify reductions from selected mitigation, if proposed to reduce the  project’s GHG emissions. Explain why the selected mitigation was preferred.    The use of the design features listed above will help to mitigate the Project’s GHG  emissions. It is difficult to quantify the exact reduction in GHG emissions related to  the project due to the variability in brands, models, and cost of materials that will be  available when the project is constructed. Some general information on GHG  reductions is provided below:    If everyone used an ENERGY STAR programmable thermostat, 13 billion  pounds of greenhouse gas emissions each year would be offset.15    An LED light bulb that has earned the ENERGY STAR label uses up to 90%  less energy than an incandescent light bulb, while providing the same  illumination. 1     Energy efficient roofing lowers the amount of heat transferred to the  building, which allows it to stay cooler and use less energy for air  conditioning. In air‐conditioned residential buildings, solar reflectance  from a cool roof can reduce peak cooling demand by 11–27%.16     iii. Quantify the proposed projects predicted net lifetime GHG emissions (total tons/#of years)  and how those predicted emissions may affect achievement of the Minnesota Next  Generation Energy Act goals and/or other more stringent state or local GHG reduction goals.    The predicted net lifetime of the Project is anticipated to be 266,603 metric tons of CO2e,  for a Project lifetime of 50 years (Note: mobile and stationary sources of combustion related  to construction are divided across the 50 years, versus summed). This equates to 5,332.06  metric tons of CO2e annually. The mitigation measures discussed above will likely offset a    15 Energystar.gov  16 Synnefa, A., M. Santamouris, and H. Akbari. 2007. Estimating the effect of using cool coatings on energy loads and thermal  comfort in residential buildings in various climatic conditions. Energy and Buildings 39, 1167–1174.  X-C-01       portion of these emissions, however this was not quantified. Overall, the Project is  anticipated to have minimal impact on the State of Minnesota’s GHG reduction goals.      19. Noise    Describe sources, characteristics, duration, quantities, and intensity of noise generated during  project construction and operation. Discuss the effect of noise in the vicinity of the project including  1) existing noise levels/sources in the area, 2) nearby sensitive receptors, 3) conformance to state  noise standards, and 4) quality of life. Identify measures that will be taken to minimize or mitigate  the effects of noise.    Existing noise sources include vehicle traffic along TH 316 / Red Wing Blvd, and within the City of  Hastings. The proposed project corridor spans undeveloped land including forest and grassland  and agricultural land. The nearest sensitive receptors include residential neighborhoods located  directly north, west and southeast of the Project, and the Hope Lutheran Church, located directly  east of the Project.     Project Construction  Project construction would increase noise levels relative to existing conditions. Increases would be  associated with construction equipment and therefore temporary and short in duration over the course  of construction. Construction is not planned to occur outside of standard daylight working hours. The  contractor would be required to comply with local ordinance requirements regarding noise.    Advanced notice would be proved to affected communities of any planned abnormally loud construction  activities. High‐impact equipment noise such as pavement sawing or jack‐hammering would likely be  required. No pile‐driving would be required.    The project would conform with all applicable MnDOT and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) noise  standards.      20. Transportation    a. Describe traffic‐related aspects of project construction and operation. Include: 1) existing and  proposed additional parking spaces, 2) estimated total average daily traffic generated, 3)  estimated maximum peak hour traffic generated and time of occurrence, 4) indicate source of  trip generation rates used in the estimates, and 5) availability of transit and/or other alternative  transportation modes.    The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition, was used  to estimate the trips generated by the proposed development site. As outlined below, the  following plans for both phases were used to calculate traffic impacts:     Phase 1 (2024):  ‐ 54 Twin home Units (ITE Land Use: Single Family Attached Housing)  ‐ 68 Townhome Units (ITE Land Use: Single Family Attached Housing)  ‐ 170 Apartment Units (ITE Land Use: Multifamily Housing– Mid‐rise)  ‐ 24 Senior Units (ITE Land Use: Assisted Living)  ‐ 60 Active Senior Living Units (ITE Land Use: Senior Adult Housing (Single Family))  ‐ 80 Assisted Living Units (ITE Land Use: Assisted Living)      X-C-01       Phase 2 (2029):  ‐ 55 Single Family Homes (ITE Land Use: Single Family Detached Housing)    The proposed development is expected to generate approximately 2,709 new trips each day  (180 trips in the AM peak hour (7:15 AM to 8:15 AM) and 226 trips in the PM peak hour (4:00  PM to 5:00 PM) upon full development of the area.      A total of 156 parking stalls are planned on the site to serve the mixed land uses.  Currently,  there is no mass transit options available directly from the development that would affect the  number of trips in and out.       b. Discuss the effect on traffic congestion on affected roads and describe any traffic improvements  necessary. The analysis must discuss the project’s impact on the regional transportation system.  If the peak hour traffic generated exceeds 250 vehicles or the total daily trips exceeds 2,500, a  traffic impact study must be prepared as part of the EAW. Use the format and procedures  described in the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s Access Management Manual,  Chapter 5 (available at: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/accessmanagement/resources.html) or a  similar local guidance.    The proposed development has undergone a comprehensive traffic impact study, detailed in  Attachment D. The study's findings indicate that, five years after the site reaches full capacity in  2034, the generated traffic will not adversely affect the surrounding road network. All examined  intersections, including both access points to the site, operate at Level of Service (LOS) A.  Additionally, all approaches at each intersection maintain LOS A.    Considering the higher posted speed limit along TH 316, it is recommended to implement turn  lanes at each access point. This entails dedicated left and right turn lanes at Michael Avenue  and a southbound bypass lane with a dedicated right turn lane for northbound TH 316 traffic at  the secondary access point.    While peak hour volumes may be similar for TH 316 and Michael Avenue, average daily volumes  will likely differ from both intersections. Presently, the analysis indicates that the TH 316 and  Michael Avenue intersection does not meet the volume thresholds required for the installation  of roundabout control. However, ongoing discussions with MnDOT reveal that a roundabout is  under consideration and will be further evaluated in the future. These discussions are ongoing.    c. Identify measures that will be taken to minimize or mitigate project related transportation  effects.  Geometric improvements, including dedicated left and right turn lanes at each site access  point are being proposed to help improve safety for traffic entering and exiting the  proposed development site.  By providing dedicated deceleration and storage distance for  turning movements improves traffic operations and allows for turning traffic to find an  acceptable gap in oncoming traffic while not providing additional delay to through  movement traffic. Turn lanes will be required upon year of development completion and  before occupancy occurs.      21. Cumulative potential effects: (Preparers can leave this item blank if cumulative potential effects are  addressed under the applicable EAW Items)    a. Describe the geographic scales and timeframes of the project related environmental effects that  X-C-01       could combine with other environmental effects resulting in cumulative potential effects.    The geographic scale and timeframes of the project‐related environmental effects that could  combine with other environmental effects resulting in cumulative potential effects are limited  to the resources affected by the proposed Project. The timeframe for considering potential  cumulative effects would be the recent past, construction, and the duration of the ongoing use  of the Project area. Past actions within the Project area primarily include the conversion of land  to agriculture and the clearing of natural vegetation. The Project would convert land from  agriculture to a residential development. The Project area is previously disturbed, following the  conversion to agricultural land.    b. Describe any reasonably foreseeable future projects (for which a basis of expectation has been  laid) that may interact with environmental effects of the proposed project within the geographic  scales and timeframes identified above.    The cumulative potential effects analysis requires that a future project be considered if it is  planned or if a basis of expectation for it has been laid. MEQB guidance describes a two‐part  test to aid in identifying whether a future project is reasonably likely to occur and if sufficiently  detailed information is available about the future project to contribute to the understanding of  cumulative potential effects.    Conversion of land adjacent to the Project for development is reasonably foreseeable. The City  of Hastings and the metro area continue to grow, and housing is needed to service future  growth. No specific plans for development are known such that sufficiently detailed information  is available to contribute to the understanding of cumulative potential effects. The project area  is at the southeastern extent of the growth boundary identified in the 2040 Hastings  Comprehensive Plan.    c. Discuss the nature of the cumulative potential effects and summarize any other available  information relevant to determining whether there is potential for significant environmental  effects due to these cumulative effects.    Resource impacts identified in the above items include farmland conversion, erosion and  sedimentation, water quality, habitat fragmentation, and greenhouse gas emissions.    Farmland Conversion  Land use in the Project area is primarily agricultural. Approximately 48 acres of prime  farmland would be converted and taken out of production. As the City of Hastings grows,  conversion of farmland to other land uses, including residential development is anticipated.  Future farmland conversion would continue to be evaluated as part of City’s planning  processes.    Erosion and Sedimentation  Construction activities would contribute to soil erosion and sedimentation. The construction  of this project is not anticipated to overlap other construction projects. Drainage and  erosion control plans would be developed to meet the MPCA NPDES construction  stormwater permitting process. Future development projects would also be required to  comply with the MPCA NPDES construction stormwater permit program and implement  applicable BMPs to control soil erosion and sedimentation. Because of these requirements,  the cumulative potential environmental effects because of soil erosion and sedimentation  would be anticipated to be minimal.    X-C-01       Water Quality  The project would construct approximately 19.45 acres of impervious surface in the Project  area. This would result in an increase in runoff, which would be routed into stormwater  basins that would provide treatment to the runoff. Treatment would meet or exceed NPDES  permanent stormwater management requirements and local stormwater requirements. Any  future development projects adjacent to the Project would be required to provide  stormwater mitigation in accordance with any permitting requirements at the time of  construction. Because of stormwater management requirements and the NDPES permitting  process that are currently in place, the cumulative potential effects to water quality would  be anticipated to be minimal.    Habitat Loss and Fragmentation and Invasive Species  The construction of the Project may contribute to habitat fragmentation. Habitat  fragmentations introduces additional stressors to the biodiversity of the region that could  increase the vulnerability of habitats to infestation by invasive species, contribute to the  isolation of populations, and limit wildlife travel across the landscape.    Greenhouse Gas Emissions  Long‐term emissions related to converting farmland and undeveloped land to a residential  development is anticipated to result in 5,332.06 metric tons of emissions annually. The  cumulative potential effect of GHGs would be anticipated to increase as the City of Hastings  grows and nearby land is converted from farmland and undeveloped land thereby removing  potential carbon sinks from the landscape.    22. Other potential environmental effects: If the project may cause any additional environmental  effects not addressed by items 1 to 19, describe the effects here, discuss the how the environment  will be affected, and identify measures that will be taken to minimize and mitigate these effects.    There are no known or potential environmental effects that were not addressed in the above EAW  items.       X-C-01       RGU CERTIFICATION. (The Environmental Quality Board will only accept SIGNED Environmental  Assessment Worksheets for public notice in the EQB Monitor.)    I hereby certify that:     The information contained in this document is accurate and complete to the best of my  knowledge.   The EAW describes the complete project; there are no other projects, stages or components  other than those described in this document, which are related to the project as connected  actions or phased actions, as defined at Minnesota Rules, parts 4410.0200, subparts 9c and 60,  respectively.   Copies of this EAW are being sent to the entire EQB distribution list.      Signature  Date          Title      X-C-01 List of FiguresFigure 1 – Site Location Map Figure 2 – Site Topographic Map Figure 3 – Project Details Figure 4 – Land Cover Figure 5 – Soil Survey and Prime Farmland Figure 6 - Minnesota Geological Survey Dakota County Map series Figure 7 – 2-ft LiDAR Topography Figure 8 - Known Karst Features Figure 9 – Surface Waters Figure 10 – National Wetlands Inventory Figure 11 - County Well Index and Wellhead Protection Areas X-C-01 Hastings Hastings Project: LANEQ 170747 Map by: rbeduhnProjection: UTM NAD 83 Zone 15NSource: SEHinc, City of Hastings, MNDNR, MNDOT, USGS Dakota County This map is neither a legally recorded map nor a survey map and is not intended to be used as one.

Due to the nature and location of the proposed project, we recommend that a Phase IA literature review and archaeological assessment be completed by a qualified archaeologist to assess the potential for intact archaeological sites in the project area. If, as a result of this assessment, a Phase I archaeological survey is recommended, this survey should be completed. The survey must meet the requirements of the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Identification and Evaluation and should include an evaluation of National Register eligibility for any properties that are identified. For a list of consultants who have expressed an interest in undertaking this type of research and archaeological surveys, please visit the website www.mnhs.org/preservation/directory, and select “Archaeologists” in the “Search by Specialties” box. We will reconsider the need for survey if the project area can be documented as previously surveyed or disturbed. Any previous survey work must meet contemporary standards. Note: plowed areas and right-of-way are not automatically considered disturbed. Archaeological sites can remain intact beneath the plow zone and in undisturbed portions of the right-of-way. Please note that this comment letter does not address the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and 36 CFR § 800. If this project is considered for federal financial assistance, or requires a federal permit or license, then review and consultation with our office will need to be initiated by the lead federal agency. Be advised that comments and recommendations provided by our office for this state-level review may differ from findings and determinations made by the federal agency as part of review and consultation under Section 106. If you have any questions regarding our review of this project, please contact me at (651) 201-3285 or kelly.graggjohnson@state.mn.us.

Figure 1 shows the development location. The proposed development is planned to have two access points into TH 316, the main driveway aligning directly across from Michael Avenue and another access point located approximately 1,300 feet to the east. The development site will also have access into the residential neighborhood located directly to the north through Thomas Avenue. 2 Existing Conditions TH 316 is a two-lane roadway designated as a principal arterial roadway. The speed limit through the project area transitions from 60 miles per hour (mph) to 45 mph approximately 700 feet west of Michael Avenue for westbound motorists. In 2022, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) reported an annual average daily traffic (AADT) of 7,502 vehicles per day (vpd). Both Tuttle Drive and Michael Avenue currently function as local collector roadways primarily serving residential traffic. The posted speed limit on both roadways is 30 mph. The intersection of TH 316 and Tuttle Drive is currently controlled by a single lane roundabout and the intersection of TH 316 with Michael Avenue is under minor street stop control. A westbound by-pass lane and a dedicated eastbound right turn lane are provided at the TH 316 intersection with Michael Avenue. The site plan provided in Appendix A shows the general development plan for the proposed residential development. This study will focus on the impact of both the year of opening - 2024 (Phase 1) and full build out – 2029 (Phase 2) and five years after full build out (2034) to the surrounding roadway network.

Based on the traffic forecast information an approximate 0.25% per year increase in traffic volume is expected from 2021 through the 2040 design year. To be conservative, a 0.5% straight-line annual average growth rate was applied to the existing traffic counts to estimate 2024 No Build, 2029 No Build, and 2034 No Build traffic volumes to compare the impact of the proposed development traffic against. Figures 3, 5, and 7 show the 2024, 2029, and 2034 No Build traffic volumes, respectively. 3.2 Trip Generation The proposed Walden at Hastings development is approximately 71.1 acres in size and includes townhomes, twin homes, active senior living, assisted living, multi-family residential, and single- family residential land uses. The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition, was used to estimate the trips generated by the proposed development site. The site is currently proposed to be developed in two phases outlined below: Phase 1 (2024): • 54 Twin home Units (ITE Land Use: Single Family Attached Housing) • 68 Townhome Units (ITE Land Use: Single Family Attached Housing) • 170 Apartment Units (ITE Land Use: Multifamily Housing– Mid-rise) • 24 Senior Units (ITE Land Use: Assisted Living) • 60 Active Senior Living Units (ITE Land Use: Senior Adult Housing (Single Family)) • 80 Assisted Living Units (ITE Land Use: Assisted Living) Phase 2 (2029): • 55 Single Family Homes (ITE Land Use: Single Family Detached Housing) Table 1 shows the trip generation rates used for each land use type and the entering/existing percentages for trips in the AM and PM peak hours. Table 2 shows the AM peak hour, PM peak hour, and daily trips generated under full development of the study area.

Based upon the collected information, it was determined that 90% of development traffic would travel to and from the north/west and 10% to and from the south/east. Trips generated within Phase 1 will all use the primary access point at Michael Avenue. With the addition of the 55 single family homes in Phase 2, located near the easternmost access point, all trips generated by the single-family homes were expected to use the secondary access. To be conservative, no trips were estimated to travel to the north through the existing neighborhood through Thomas Avenue. Figures 4, 6, and 8 show the 2024, 2029, and 2034 Build traffic volumes, respectively.

170747 Page 14 4 Warrant Analysis To assist in determining the appropriate type of traffic control for the two development access points onto TH 316, all-way stop and traffic signal warrant analyses were completed. The intersection of TH 316 and Tuttle Drive is expected to remain as a single lane roundabout and has sufficient capacity to serve traffic volumes through the future design year 2034. Warrant analyses were not conducted for the secondary access point located east of Michael Avenue as traffic volumes are estimated to be lower when compared to Michael Avenue. The Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MnMUTCD) provides guidance on when it may be appropriate to use all-way stop or signal control at an intersection. This guidance is provided in the form of “warrants”, or criteria, and engineering analysis of the intersection’s design factors to determine when a certain control may be justified. All-way stop or signal control should not be installed at an intersection unless an MnMUTCD warrant is met. Meeting a warrant at an intersection does not in itself require the installation of that traffic control. Installation of an all-way stop or traffic signal also requires an engineering analysis of the intersection’s design for it to be justified. A roundabout is considered to be warranted if traffic volumes meet the criteria for either all-way stop or traffic signal control. For traffic signal installation, MnDOT typically requires volume thresholds for Warrant 1 to be satisfied, which requires 8-hours of combined major approach volumes and the highest minor street approach volume to meet MnMUTCD thresholds. These thresholds vary with the number of approach lanes on the major and minor streets, as well as vehicle speeds. Other warrants may be used as indicators of a need to consider traffic control change; an engineering study that considers factors, including warrants, should be performed to determine the optimal type of control at an intersection. Warrant 2 (four hour) and Warrant 3 (peak hour) were also included in the analysis for the study intersections. 4.1 Warrant Analysis Assumptions MnMUTCD guidelines suggest that for the purpose of warrant analysis, 100% of right turning traffic from the minor leg should be removed from the traffic signal warrant analysis because right turning vehicles are typically able to enter the traffic stream with minimal delay or conflict; the right turning traffic would not require a traffic signal to reduce delay or improve safety. In certain circumstances (i.e. high right turn volume, minimum mainline gaps, etc.), The procedures outlined in the MnDOT ICE Manual allow for the inclusion of 50% of the minor street right turning traffic in the analysis. The MnDOT guidance states “if right turning volume exceeds 70% of its potential capacity for any hour for each approach, 50% of the right turning volume for all hours should be added back in.” • Based upon MnMUTCD guidance, the analysis of the study intersections includes the removal of 100% of the right turning traffic on the minor approaches. MnMUTCD guidelines suggest that the warrant thresholds may also be reduced based on the roadway speeds and population of the city the intersection is within. If either major approach to the intersection has a posted speed, or 85th percentile speed, that exceeds 40 mph, then a X-C-01 TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY LANEQ 170747 Page 15 reduction to 70% of the threshold volumes is allowed. If the population of the city is less than 10,000 people, a reduction to 70% threshold volumes is allowed. • Based upon MnMUTCD guidance, the analysis includes the reduction to 70% of the threshold volumes because the speed limit on TH 316 is 60 mph. 4.2 Build Warrant Methodology To estimate the 2034 Build 13-hour volumes for use in future all-way stop and signal warrant analysis at the intersection of TH 316 and Michael Avenue, the daily trip generation estimates were extrapolated over the 13 hours (6 AM to 7 PM) using the ITE Daily Trip Distributions for each of the respective land uses within the development. The 13-hour development trip estimates were added to the existing traffic counts with the 0.5% per year background growth applied to estimate the hourly volumes for the Michael Avenue intersection with TH 316 under 2034 Build conditions. 4.3 Warrant Analysis Results Based upon the 2034 Build volumes, the intersection of TH 316 and Michael Avenue does not meet either the all-way stop or traffic signal control warrant volume thresholds. The all-way stop warrant is met for 1 hour of the required 8 hours and the intersection does not meet the warrant volume thresholds for traffic signal warrants 1, 2, or 3 for any hour analyzed. Table 3 shows the 2034 Build all-way stop and traffic signal warrant results for TH 316 and Michael Avenue. Complete all-way stop and traffic signal warrant analyses can be found in Appendix C. Table 3 – 2034 Build Warrant Analysis Results Intersection All-way Stop Warrant Traffic Signal Warrants Warrant 1 (8 hour) Warrant 2 (4 hour) Warrant 3 (peak hour) TH 316 and Michael Ave Not Met Not Met Not Met Not Met 1 of 8 hours 0 of 8 hours 0 of 4 hours 0 of 1 hours X-C-01 TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY LANEQ 170747 Page 16 5 Operational Analysis Traffic operations analysis was conducted to determine the level of service (LOS), delay, and queuing information for the AM and PM peak hour conditions. LOS is a qualitative rating system used to describe the efficiency of traffic operations at an intersection. Six LOS are defined, designated by letters A through F. LOS A represents the best operating conditions (no congestion), and LOS F represents the worst operating conditions (severe congestion). For the study intersection it was assumed that a LOS D or better, for all approaches and the overall intersection, represent acceptable operating conditions. LOS for intersections is determined by the average control delay per vehicle. The range of control delay for each LOS is different for signalized and unsignalized intersections. The expectation is that a signalized intersection is designed to carry higher traffic volumes and will experience greater delays than an unsignalized intersection. Driver tolerance for delay is greater at a signal than at a stop sign; therefore, the LOS thresholds for each LOS category are lower for unsignalized intersections than for signalized intersections. Table 4 shows the LOS thresholds for signalized and unsignalized intersections. Table 4 – Level of Service Thresholds Level of Service Average Vehicle Delay (sec/veh) Signalized Intersection Unsignalized (Stop or Roundabout) Intersection A 0 to 10 0 to 10 B > 10 and ≤ 20 > 10 and ≤ 15 C > 20 and ≤ 35 > 15 and ≤ 25 D > 35 and ≤ 55 > 25 and ≤ 35 E > 55 and ≤ 80 > 35 and ≤ 50 F > 80 > 50 All traffic operations analysis for signalized and stop controlled intersections was performed using the Synchro/SimTraffic (Version 11) software package. The results reported in this analysis are an average of 5 runs in SimTraffic 11. Appendix D has the complete traffic operations results. The following scenarios were analyzed: • 2023 Existing Conditions (Figure 2) − Existing traffic volumes, intersection geometry, and traffic control • 2024 No Build Conditions (Figure 3) − 2024 No Build traffic volumes (0.5% per year background growth only; no development trips) • 2024 Build Conditions (Figure 4) − 2024 Build traffic volumes (0.5% per year background growth and Phase 1 development trips) • 2029 No Build Conditions (Figure 5) X-C-01 TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY LANEQ 170747 Page 17 − 2029 No Build traffic volumes (0.5% per year background growth only; no development trips) • 2029 Build Conditions (Figure 6) − 2024 Build traffic volumes (0.5% per year background growth and Phase 1 and Phase 2 development trips) • 2034 No Build Conditions (Figure 7) − 2034 No Build traffic volumes (0.5% per year background growth only; no development trips) • 2034 Build Conditions (Figure 8) − 2034 Build traffic volumes (0.5% per year background growth and Phase 1 and Phase 2 development trips) 5.1 2023 Existing Conditions During the AM peak hour, all study intersections operate acceptably with all approaches operating at LOS A and each intersection also operating at LOS A.

This memorandum outlined the requirement that left and right turn lanes along TH 316 would need to be provided for the development access points. Based upon the MnDOT guidance, 300’ left and right turn lanes were provided for the eastbound and westbound TH 316 approach to Michael Avenue. At the secondary access point, a westbound 300’ right turn lane was provided along with an eastbound by-pass lane. With these proposed geometric changes all intersections continue to operate at LOS A during each peak hour. All intersection approaches also operate at LOS A during both peak hours. Table 7 shows the 2024 Phase 1 Build traffic operations at the study intersections during the AM and PM peak hour.

The full build out of the site includes the addition of 55 single family homes. These homes are anticipated to use the secondary access point given their relative location within the site development. The 2029 Full Build analysis shows that all study intersections operate at LOS A and all intersection approaches operate at LOS A during both peak hours analyzed.

The proposed development includes the following land uses: Phase 1 (2024): • 54 Twin home Units (ITE Land Use: Single Family Attached Housing) • 68 Townhome Units (ITE Land Use: Single Family Attached Housing) • 170 Apartment Units (ITE Land Use: Multifamily Housing– Mid-rise) • 24 Senior Units (ITE Land Use: Assisted Living) • 60 Active Senior Living Units (ITE Land Use: Senior Adult Housing (Single Family)) • 80 Assisted Living Units (ITE Land Use: Assisted Living) Phase 2 (2029): • 55 Single Family Homes (ITE Land Use: Single Family Detached Housing) The proposed development is expected to generate approximately 2,709 new trips each day (180 trips in the AM peak hour and 226 trips in the PM peak hour) upon full development of the area. The primary access points to the development will be at the intersection of Michael Avenue with TH 316 and an additional secondary access point will be provided approximately 1,300 feet to the east of Michael Avenue. A traffic operations analysis was conducted to determine the impact of the proposed development to the surrounding roadway network. Based upon guidance provided by MnDOT, turn lanes were provided at each development access point along TH 316. With the addition of these geometric changes, all study intersections operate at LOS A and the minor stop-controlled approaches also operate at LOS A under all analyzed scenarios. 6.1 Recommendations Based upon MnDOT guidance the following geometric changes are recommended for the study intersections: • Provide dedicated 300’ left and right turn lanes for both TH 316 approaches to Michael Avenue • Provide dedicated 300’ right turn lane for the westbound TH 316 approach to the secondary development access point. • Provide eastbound bypass lane along TH 316 at the secondary development access point.
