This Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) form is beirtq us�d to re�rd }he Altemati�e
Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) for }he City of Cottage Grove's Business Park. This EAW form
and AUAR Guidelines are a�ailable at}he Environmental Quality Board'swebsite at:
ht}n'//wvwv Pah statP mn_us/FnvRP�Tuidanc�I���:umPn}c h}m.
Minnesota Rules Chapter 4410.3610, subp. 4 states }hat "}he content and format [of an AUAR
document] must be similar to }hat of an EAW, but must provide for a le�el of analysis
�mparable to }hat of an EIS for impac}s typi�l of urban residential, commeraal warehousirtq,
and light indus}nal de�elopment and assoaated in6as}ructure."The EAW and AUAR Guidelines
provide additional details and resources for completirtq }he EAW form for an AUAR and
�nductirtq }he AUAR review process. The following document follows }he format of }he July
�L713 Environmental Assessment Worksheet Form.
Background
The Qty of Cottage Gro�e is conducting an Altemati�e Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) for}heir
e�sting business park and an expansion area to }he south. The aty is under �nsideration as a
lo�tion of a business of statewide signifi�nce, in terrru of size and e�nomic impact. The City
has agreed to not identify }his speafic business and }he exact de�elopment program is not
known. It is understood }hat }he business�uld ocnupy up to 3�acres and it may be phased.
This challenge matches }he benefits of }he AUAR tool pertectly, in }hat it allows }he City of
Cottage Gro�e, as }he Responsible Govemment Unit (RGU), to analyze scenarias and adopt a
Mitigation Plan }hat anticipates }he environmental efFec}s of to very different types of major
businesses. Based on national de�elopment }rends, it is assumed }hat a business of}his size today,
will be either a technology center or a dis}nbution facility. It is important to note }hat both a
technology center and a dis}nbution use are consistent with Cottage Grove's adopted �0
Comprehensive Plan.
The AUAR area is appro�mately 1 J67 acres in }he City of Cottage Gro�e. It is bounded by US
Trunk Highway 61 to}he nor}h, generally Heath Avenue South to}hewest, 110�^S}reetSouth to}he
southwest, and l�'^ S}reet South to }he southeast. Appro�mately half of }he AUAR area Is
contained in }he Cottage Gro�e Business Park which features such companies as Wemer Elec}nc,
Up North Plastics, and Renewal by Andersen. Va�nt sites as large as .YJ acres in }he Business
Park are still beirtq marketed by}he City of Cottage Grove.
Over }he last few years, }he Cottage Gro�e Business Park and surroundirtq unde�eloped areas
ha�e been}he subject of large businesssearches for more}han 50 acres}hrough }he Department
of Employment and E�nomic De�elopment (DEED) and Greater MSP with little sucness. The City
of Cottage Gro�e understands one major impediment to successFully be�mirtq }he reapient of
a business of statewide sgnifi�nce is}he time necessary to complete a required environmental
review on a casaby-case basis and a ste large enough to acnommodate}hese users. This AUAR
will not only offer business/indus}nal sites outside}he boundanes of}he e�sting Business Park, but it
will also better position }he City and new users for a timelier entitlement process.

The total area of }he AUAR project is appro�imately 1 J67 acres in }he City of Cottage
Gro�e. Of }hat total, 677 acres of }he AUAR area is within }he e�sting Cottage Grove
Business Park and }he remainder is a propased expansion of}he Business Park to}he south,
north, and east (see Figures E.l and E.2). O�er half of }he land is guided indus}nal, a
section in }he east portion of}he area is designated as parks/open space, and 457 acres
is guided in a land use �tegory �Iled Transition Planning Area. The �L72IJ
Comprehens�e Plan defines}he Transition Plannirtq Area as '9o�ted outside}he MUSA . .
. where additional plannirtq efforts are required pnor to establishing future land use
designations. Allowable uses in areas designated }ransitional planning area indude
commeraal, agnculture and residential uses on lots of a minimum of�L7 acres."
There is no speafic project propased in }he AUAR area. This study is meant to study
growfh options for indus}nal users in }he e�sting Business Park as well as in a proposed
expanson area.
The southem portion of}he AUAR area is bisected by appro�imately 53 acres east of Ideal
Avenue South }hat is in }he Metropolitan ,�qncultural Preser�e Program and identified as
e�stirtq indus}nal land (see Figure E.3). The,�qncultural Preserve Programwas established
by }he Minnesota Legislature in 19� as a tool for protecting farmland in }he Twin Cities.
Local go�emmen}s first identify lortq-term agncultural lands and }he zoning to protect
}hem, and }hen landowners �n opt in to }he program }hrough res}ncti�e covenan}s}hat
limit land use to agnculture or fores}ry for at least eight years. Land owners receive
property tax credits, protection for normal agnculture practices, and other benefits for
being part of}he program.
While no specific project is currently proposed, }he 58 acres in }he ,�qncultural Preserve
Program is in }he middle of}he southem portion of}he AUAR area. To remove }his land

6om }he ,�qncultural Preser�e Program to repurpase it for indus}nal busness�s, }he City of
Cottage Grove or }he landowner must file a form �Iled a "notice of expiration" to start
}he eight-year timedock to remo�e }he property 6om }he program. If a large indus}nal
user required more contiguous acreage }han currently a�ailable in }he AUAR area, }hey
will need to take a phased approach to act.rommodate }he eight-year window for
termination of land in }he ,�qncultural Preser�e Program or seek other measures within
State statute to remove}he property from}he program.

Both De�elopment Scenanoswere calculated based on}hese assumptions:
l. Growfh is based on �L740 projections�ersus a full build-out. This means }hat some
land will remain �acant and e�stirtq indus}nally-used sites are unlikely to
rede�elop.
2 The �1740 projections were developed consdenng an estimated amount of
Indus}nal acreage likely to de�elop beteen 201&�L740, based on an average
historicgrowfh rate from indus}nal business permits (in building square footage) in
}he City of Cottage Gro�e 6om 199&�L7 V.
Development Scenario A: This scenano assumes 421 acres of }he AUAR area is used for

The Cottage Grove Business Park AUAR area �nss}s of 1 J67 acres of land set aside for
pnmanly indus}nal uses. A Transition Planning Area in }he southwest section of}he AUAR
area is purpasely left fle�ble in }he �L72JJ Comprehensive Plan to allow for further study of
appropriate uses. The Comprehensive Plan defines }he Transition Planning Area as
'9ocated outside }he MUSA . . . where additional planning efforts are required pnor to
establishirtq future land use designations. Allowable uses in areas designated }ransitional
plannirtq area indude commeraal, agnculture and residential uses on lots of a minimum
of �L7 acres." This section of Transition Planning Area within }he AUAR area is zoned for
agncultural uses.
There is no specific project propased in }he AUAR area. This study is meant to analyze
growfh options for indus}nal users in }he e�sting Business Park as well as in a proposed
expanson area. Beyond }he desire to ac�mmodate future indus}nal businesses in }he
AUAR area, additional land is set aside for a new Water Treatment Plant and 93 acres is
preser�ed for new singlafamily residential de�elopment doser to}he Mississippi River.
The to de�elopment scenanos are differentiated by }he type of indus}nal—technology
center or dis}nbution center. Technology center functions can be employeadominated
and dis}nbution centers are a more speafic type ofwarehousirtq }hat is }ruck-dominated.
O�er }he last few years, }he Cottage Grove Business Park and surroundirtq unde�eloped
areas have been }he subject of large business searches }hrough }he Department of
Employment and Economic De�elopment (DEED) and Greater MSP with little success. The
City of Cottage Grove understands one major impediment to successFully becoming }he
reapient of a business of statewide signifi�nce is }he time necess�ry to complete a
required environmental review on a �saby-�se basis and a site large enough to

boundanes of }he e�stirtq Business Park, but it will also better pasition }he City and new
users for a ti meli er a ppro�a I process.
New indus}nal jobs in Cottage Grove would offer additional job opportunities to nearby
residen}s. Conversely, morejob options in Cottage Grove builds }he bas� and demand
for resdential growfh in other parts of}he aty.
e. Are fufure sfages of fhis developmeM including developmenf on any ofher properly
planned or likely fo happen?Yes or No.
No. There is no speafic project proposed in }he AUAR area. This study is meant to study
grow}h options for indus}nal users in }he e�sting Business Park as well as in a proposed
expansion area.
The southem portion of}he AUAR area is bisected by appro�mately 58 acres east of Ideal
A�enue South }hat is in }he Metropolitan ,�qncultural Preser�e Program and identified as
e�sting indus}nal land. The ,�qricultural Preser�e Program was established by }he
Minnesota Legislature in 1980 as a tool for protecting farmland in }he Twin Cities. Lo�l
govemmen}s first identify lortq-term agncultural lands and }he zoning to protect }hem, and
}hen landowners can opt in to }he program }hrough res}nctive co�enan}s }hat limit land
use to agnculture or fores}ry for at least eight years. Land owners recei�e property tax

7. CoverTypes
Land ��er in }he AUAR area was determined based on }he Minnesota Land Cover
Classification System (MLCCS) data. The MLC�S is a natural resource in�entory dassifi�tion
system used to standardize land cover identifi�tion and interpretation in Minnesota. MLCCS
2017 Cottage Gro�e Business ParkAUHR

data for }he AUAR area was de�eloped by }he Washington County Soil and Water
Conservation Dis}nct. The system �tegonzes open and developed areas in terms of land
cover, rather}han land use. Current aenal photographs (�L716) indi�te}he land ��er in }he
AUAR area is consistent with }he M LCCS data.
As illus}rated in Table 7-1 and Figure 7-1, co�er types �ary within }he AUAR area, with most
land currently covered by maintained crops. Some areas of}he AUAR area have been built
up with predominantly impervious surtaces. This is }he second mast �mmon cover type.
There are a few areas, especially near Jamaica A�enue and l��^ S}reet and Hemingway
A�enue and 9S^ S}reet, }hat are herbaceous wetlands. Current land ��er is illus}rated in
Figure 7-1.

Propased land ��er in De�elopment Scenano A and Development Scenano B are identi�l,
}hus both are discussed together. In De�elopment Scenano A, a technology center is
propased, as well as indus}nal, �mmercial, residential, and mixed uses. In Development
Scenano B, a dis}nbution center is propased, aswell as indus}nal, residential, and mixed uses.
Both scenanos also feature an agncultural preser�e in }he southem part of }he AUAR area
along Ideal A�enue South. Be�use a site plan has not been de�eloped for a speafic
project, acreages for different future land ��er types ha�e been determined usirtq }he
following methodology:
l . Assume }hat all wetland areas remain �nstant due to regulatory statute. Some
disturbance may ocnur, but o�erall acreagewill remain}he same.
2 Assume ma�mum lot impeMous percentages for developed property, as allowed in }he
City's zonirtq �de.These percentages are listed in table 72 for reference.
3. Assume }hat nght-of-way and water }reatment plan}s are l�� impervious. It is s�fer to
assume loss of impervious surtace}han assume a natural ��er type.
4. Assume }hat developed land }hat is not impeMous is eitherwetland, wooded/forest, or
lawn/lands�pe.
Table 7-2 below outlines}he land cover calculations for de�eloped land in Scenanas A and B,
based on }he assumptions listed abo�e. Under both scenanas, a total of l,l 10.2IJ acres of
impervious surtace will be de�eloped in }he AUAR area. Gi�en }he assumptions }hat norr
impeMous developed land is either wetland, wooded/forest, and lawn/lands�pe, }he
remainder of��er type acreages were determined.These acreages are listed in Table 7-3.

As illus}rated in Table 7-3, }he largest chartqes in land ��er types for }he AUAR area is a
reduction in cropland (95327 acres) and an increase in impervious surtaces (686.57). There is
also a sgnifi�nt increase in IawNlandscaping (275J0 acres). It is important to note }hat
}hese land cover type chartqes are based on to genenc de�elopment scenanas. A
propased site plan for any future technology center (De�elopment Scenano A) or dis}nbution
center (Development Scenano B) should be analyzed to provide exact �Iculations for cover

9. Land Use
a. Describe:
i. Exisfing land use of fhe sife as well as areas adjaceM fo and near fhe sife,
including parks, fmils,prime or unique fartnlands.
E�istirtq land use within }he AUAR area is predominantly agncultural in }he southem
half and indus}nal in }he northem half, with commercial and mixed use areas
fronting TH-61. Land to}he southeast of}he AUAR area is also indus}nal in use.
There are parks and open spaces within and adjacent to }he AUAR area. A terr
acre park and natura I area with open water is in }he northeast comer of}he AUAR
area. A �mmunity park is west of }he AUAR's northwestem boundary and state
scientific area is west of}he AUAR's southwestern boundary.
There are appro�mately 25 residential uses within }he AUAR area. An urban
residential neighborhood e�s}s west of }he AUAR's westerly boundary }hat is
lo�ted beteen 95}hS}reet and l�}hS}reet.
E�istirtq land use is illus}rated in Figure 9-L E�sting }rails are descnbed in Question 18
-Transportation.
ii. Plans. Describe planned land use as idenfified in comprehensive plan (if
available) and any ofher applicable plan for land use, waler, or resources
managemenf by a local,regional, sfafe, or federal agency.

Indus}nal de�elopment, as outlined in both development scenanos, is �nsistent with }he
e�stirtq land use, planned future land use, and zonirtq (for some parcels) in }he AUAR
area. There are few differences beteen De�elopment Scenano A and Development
Scenano B in terrru of land use, howe�er, }he impac}s for both scenanos are detailed
below.
Developmenf Scenario A
In Development Scenano A (see Figure 9-4), }he propased indus}nal, �mmeraal, and
mixed use areas north of l00}h S}reet are �nsistent with plans for future land use and
zoning. There are e�sting residential neighborhoods to }he west of }he AUAR area.
Indus}nal development may�nFlict with}hese residential areas if proper mitigation is not
in effect. Passible visual, air, noise, and }raffic issues are discussed in questions 15, 16, V,
and 18, respectively. A propased WaterTreatment Plant (WTP) is lo�ted in }he northeast
comer of l00}h S}reet and Jamai� A�enue.
South of l�}h S}reet, land in }he AUAR area has been determined a }ransition plannirtq
area in }he �0 Comprehensive Plan. In De�elopment Scenano A, }his area is planned

to be indus}nal in use (technology center), with a sirtqle family residential development
and agncultural preser�e area in }he far southem section of }he AUAR area. Given }he
areds current agricultural uses and }ransitional uses, De�elopment Scenano A is
generally�nsistent with current and future land uses.
South of a proposed technology center, a singlafamily residential area }ransitions to
va�nt/agnculture land and an agncultural pres�rve area. Potential conflic}s may e�st
beteen }he proposed technology center and }he proposed residential uses
immediately south without a buffer area. Possible visual, air, noise, and }raffic issues are
discussed in questions 15, 16, V, and 18, respecti�ely.
South of l�}h S}reet, }he land is zoned for agncultural uses (AGl and AG2). Areas
ocnupied by }he proposed technology center,water}reatment plant, and single family
residential useswill need to be rezoned to Indusinal (I1) and Single Famiy Residential (R3).
Developmenf Scenario B
In Development Scenano B (see Figure 9-5), }he propased indus}nal, commeraal, and
mixed use areas north of l�}h S}reet are �nsistent with plans for future land use and
zoning. There are e�sting residential neighborhoods to }he west of }he AUAR area.
Indus}nal development may�nFlict with }hese residential areas if proper mitigation is not

and 18, respecti�ely.
South of l�}h S}reet, land in }he AUAR area has been determined a }ransition plannirtq
area in}he 2Q90 Comprehensi�e Plan. In De�elopment Scenano B, }his area is planned to
be indus}nal in use (dis}nbution center and water }reatment plant), with a single family
residential de�elopment and agncultural preser�e area in }he far southeastem �mer of
}he AUAR area. Gi�en }he areds current agncultural uses and lack of planned uses,
Development Scenano A is generally consistent with current and future land uses.
South of a proposed dis}ribution center, a singlafamily residential area }ransitions to

10. Geologic Hamrds and Soil Condifions
a. Geology - Describe fhe geology underlying fhe projecf area and ideMify and map any
suscepfible geologic feafures such as sinkholes, shallow limesfone fortnafions,
unconfined/shallow aquifers, or karsf condifions. Discuss any limilalions of fhese feafures
for fhe projecf and any effecfs fhe projecf could have on fhese feafures. IdeMify any
projecf designs or mifigafion measures fo address eMecfs fo geologic feafures.
The surfiaal geology acrass }he project area is largely compnsed of terrace depasits
containirtq sand, gravelly sand, and gravel. The dep}h to bedrock is less }han .YJ feet in
}he northem part of }he project area. Dep}h to bedrock in }he southem part of }he
project area �n �ary from less }han 50 feet to a ma�mum of 150 feet. Bedrock has
been obser�ed to be less }han 10 feet below }he land surtace in portions of}he project
area.
The first bedrock unit encountered below}he project area is}he Shakopee Formation of
}he Prairie du Chien group dolomite. This bedrock unit is �rbonate in nature and is
susceptible to formation of karst topography. The highest nsk of karst occurs in areas
where }here is less }han .YJ feet of cover over }he �rbonate bedrock and when }he
water table ele�ation occurs within }he �rbonate bedrock unit. These �nditions e�st
o�er a large portion of}he project area.
No documented sinkholes orsimilar karst features have been found in }he project area to
date.
b. Soils and fopography - Describe fhe soils on fhe sife, giving NRCS (SCS) classificafions and
descripfions, including limifalions of soils. Describe fopography, any special sife
condilions relafing fo erosion pofeMial, soil sfabilify or ofher soils limifafions, such as sfeep
slopes, highly permeable soils. Provide esfimafed volume and acreage of soil excwalion
and/or grading. Discuss impacfs from projecf acfivifies (disfinguish befween consfrucfion
and operafional acfivilies) relaled fo soils and fopography. Idenfiy measures during and
aRer projecf consfrucfion fo address soil limifafions including sfabilimfion, soil correcfions
or ofher measures. Erosion/sedimenfafion confrol relafed fo sformwaler runoM should be

Topography in}he AUAR area is generally flat with some rolling to hilly areas,with no steep
slopes greater }han 15� identified. Drainage is towards }he Mississippi River to }he south.
Soils are generally highly permeable and wel�drained.
Soil hydrologic groups are mastly Group A, which have a high infittration rate and low
runoff potential. These soils are typi�lly deep, well-drained sandy or gra�elly soils with a
high rate of water }ransmisson. Appro�imately �� of }he project area is o�erlain by
Group A soils. Group B soils have a moderate infittration rate and are somewhat more fine
to moderately �arse textures. Appro�mately 3�of}he project area is o�erlain by Group
B soils. Group D soils ha�e a �ery slow infittration rate and are compnsed of day-nch layers
at or near}he land surtace,with a very slow rate ofwater}ransmission. Appro�mately 7�
of}he project area is o�erlain by Group D soils.
The high rates of infittration create a higher sensitivity to }he underlyirtq aquifers 6om
potential pollution impac}s. The majonty of }he project area is dassified as "sensti�e" in
}his regard.
Soil erasion hazards acrass }he project area are mastly "slighY' due to less steep slopes
and types ofsoils.

MITIGATION STRATEGIES
• The ele�ated potential for karst features in }he project area can be partially
mitigated by undertakirtq geophysi�l surveys in �mbination with test drilling to
help identify underground cavities in dartqer of collapse. Since }he sur�ey effort
�n be castly over large areas, it is re�mmended }hat any surveys are
�ncen}rated where large s}ructures may be lo�ted.
• Sensitivity of }he underlying aquifers to contamination �n be mitigated by
applyirtq best management practices to reduce spills and leaks, complyirtq with
}he Qty's Wellhead Protection Plan for aquifer management. Any storage tanks
with hazardous substances should have s��ndary �ntainment, along with
monitonng devices to detect any leakage. Additionally, vehides containirtq fuels
and other hazardous substances should be parked over impervious surtaces
whenever possible,with�ntainment in place to pre�ent runofF of�ntamination.
11. Wafer Resources
a. Describe surtace wafer and groundwafer fealures on or near fhe sife in a.i. and
a.ii. below.
i. Surtace wafer - lakes, sfreams, weflands, iMermikeM channels, and couMy/judicial
difches. Include any special designafions such as public wafers,froul sfream/lake,
wildl'rfe lakes, migralory wafertowl feeding/resfing lake, and oulsfanding resource
value wafer. Include wafer qualify impairtneMs or special designalions lisfed on fhe

Both }he Unnamed Lake and Unnamed }nbutary to Mississippi River are lo�ted east of
se�eral main artenal roads and Highway 61 and will not recei�e stormwater runoff 6om
}he AUAR area. Currently stormwater 6om }he AUAR area flows }hrough a �n�eyance
system of storm sewer pipes, �ns}ructed flumes, and natural open channels and
ultimately to }he Mississippi Ri�er. The AUAR area discharges to }he Mississppi Ri�er at
drainage areasSN.3 and L-A5,which are shown in }he AUARStorm Sewer Map. When

}he sa me.
ii. Groundwaler - aquifers, springs, seeps. Include: 1) depfh fo groundwaler, 2) if
projecf is wifhin a MDH wellhead profecfion area; 3) ideMificafion of any onsile
and/or nearby wells, including unique numbers and well logs if available. If fhere are
no wells known on sife or nearby, explain fhe mefhodology used fo defermine fhis.
The water table aquifer in }he project area is lo�ted within }he Praine du Chien dolomite
bedrock. No spnngs orseepswere identified on}he property.
1. Depfh fo groundwafer: Groundwater at }he project site rartqes beteen 40 feet
and 1�L7 feet in dep}h, bas�d on histoncal well readings. A�erage dep}h of
groundwater is appro�mately SC7 feet. Gi�en }he range of groundwater dep}hs,
shallow groundwater is not er,pected to be en�untered at }he site. Howe�er, it is
possible }hat isolated patches of shallow groundwater �uld e�st if }he water
table is perched abo�e low permeability soils orglacial depasits.
2. MDH wellhead profecfion area: Appro�mately 50� of}he project area falls within
}he wellhead protection area for}he Qty of Cottage Gro�e. This indudes most of
}he northem half of}he project area and portions of }he east side of}he project
area. The wellhead protection area is considered to be "high" in wlnerability to
�ntamination 6om spills occurring at or near}he land surtace.
3. The following wells were ideMified on fhe propedy (Table 11-2): 43 wells were
identified within County Well Index within }he project area 24 of }hese wells
�ntained information related to ownership, status, use, and dep}h. The remainirtq
19 wells did not contain any information other }han }he unique number. These
wells are summarized in }he below table. Additional wells may also e�st within }he
project area }hat are not ac�unted for in }he State's database. These wells may
be en�untered dunng project �ns}ruction activities. If}hese wells are no longer
in acti�e use or are planned to be taken out of use, }hey will be required to be

Thewastewater produced in }he AUAR area will be �nveyed directly into a Metropolitan
Counal Environmental Services (MCES) interceptor at either MCES connection point four
or fi�e and ultimately to }he MCES Eagles Point Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP),
lo�ted roughly 0J5 miles southeast of }he most southeasterly �mer of }he AUAR
boundary. The MCES connection poin}s and Eagles Point W WTP are shown in }he AUAR
Sanitary Sewer Map. The AUAR will be broken down into to regions for purposes of}he
sanitary sewer discussion. The first region is}he area to }he north of l��^S}reet South and
}he second portion is }he area south of l��^ S}reet South. There will be no pretreatment
}hat ocnurs pnor to}he wastewater entenrtq }he MCES connection poin}s.
The area to }he north of l�'^ Slreet has e�sfirtq }runk sanitary sewer Ilnes with lateral
sanitary sewer stubs into most of}he parcels }hat remain undeveloped. The }runk sanitary
sewer lines ha�e been designed as part of }he o�erall comprehensi�e sewer plan
de�eloped by }he City to ac�mmodate for de�elopment in }his area based on }he
ultimate land use plan for}he City. The pipe sizing was based on assgning a capacity in

flows for }he }runk sewer lines. In }he AUAR Sanitary Sewer Map, orange arrows indicate
}he sanitary s�werFlow paths to}he MCES connection point four.
The area south of 100�^S}reet does not have any sanitary sewer}runk lines currently built
within }he AUAR boundary. As development ocnurs in }his area, sanitary sewer}runk lines
will need to be szed to ac�unt for}he s�wer dis}nc}s }hat will be ups}ream of}he AUAR.
This indudes sewer dis}nc}sS-1,S3,S9,S5,S7,S-8, and }he sewer dis}nc}s}hat are split by
}he AUAR boundary (S4,S6, L-3, and L-4). The attached AUARSanitarySewer Map shows
}he s�wer dis}nc}s. The City's Comprehensive Sewer Plan indi�tes all sewer dis}nc}s
beginnirtq with }he letter"L"will enter}he MCES interceptor pipe at connection point four
and sewer dis}nc}s with }he letter "S" will enter at �nnection fi�e. However, when a
previous analysis was performed, it was determined }hat sewer dis}nc}s S4, L-3, or L-4
�uld potentially enter either MCES connection point four or fi�e to give}he future owner
fle�bility on sanitary sewer connections.
Once wastewater enters }he MCES interceptor system, }he MCES system has been
designed to ac�mmodate for }he future flows of development within }he AUAR and
should not need to be upsized.
MITIGATION STRATEGIES
In areas where sanitary s�wer lines currently e�st and development ocnurs in }he
AUAR, usage rates may be higher}han onginally intended for}he desgn. In }hes�
�ses, further evaluation will take place to determine }he surcharging }hat may
occur, to�enfy it will not ha�e negative impac}s to downs}ream properties. If}here
are lineswith insuffiaent �paaty under ma�mum buildout, }heywill be replaced
with larger lines in }he future. The exfent and timing }hat impro�emen}s to }he
e�sting sewer facilities serving }his area are warranted from a �pacity standpoint
will be dependent on when }he propased sewer flows exceed }he capaaty.
Monitonng of sanitary sewer flows in}hese lineswill determine when replacement is
needed. The speafic replacement size will be determined at }hat time and will be
based on observed sewer Flow rates. In areas without e�sting }runk sanitary sewer
lines, design will acnount for future ups}ream de�elopment as discussed in }he
previous paragraphs.

Cottage Gro�e's �L7� Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) and City Code are
}he most recent documen}s identifying stormwater features and requiremen}s for }he
AUAR area. Additionally, stormwaterwill need to be managed in acnordance with }he
City's NPDES MS4 Stormwater Permit and SW PPP, Cons}ruction Site Stormwater Permit,
and (for indus}nal sites) Indus}nal Stormwater Permit. These plans, codes, and permits
2017 Cottage Gro�e Business ParkAUHR

provide requiremen}s for rate con}rol, water quality }reatment, and volume con}rol.
They address both temporary and permanent stormwater management.
Stormwater runoff from }he AUAR area is directed ultimately to }he Mississippi Ri�er at
to difFerent lo�tions. The discharge lo�tions are within drainage areas L-A5 and S
N.3 and are shown on }he AUAR Storm Sewer Map. The drainage break beteen }he
to dlscharge lo�fions occurs along }he 1�'^S}reet Corridor; }he area of}he AUAR to
}he north of}he 1��^St Corridorwill drain to L-A5 and }he area to }he south will drain to
SN.3.
In }he northem portion of }he AUAR, e�isting in6as}ructure will ac�mmodate future
de�elopment, with some amendmen}s. The e�sting stormwater features indude storm
sewer lines, stormwater basins, and a �ns}ructed flume}hat con�eys}he stormwater to
}he east, under Jamaica Avenue and into }he unnamed ravine }hat ultimately
discharges into }he Mississippi Ri�er. There are to drainage areas (TGA10 and TGAl2)
within }his portion of}he AUAR}hat will need to either cons}ruct or increase �paaty to
}he stormwater basins to meet }he City's SWMP for rate �n}rol. All }he other e�stirtq
regional stormwater basins within }his area, outside of }he to drainage areas
mentioned above, ha�e been sized to meet }he City's rate con}rol requiremen}s. As
de�elopment occurs, each property will be responsible for meeting }he Qty's �olume
reduction and water quality componen}s within }heir individual properties pnor to
stormwater beirtq released into regional stormwater rate �n}rol basins. At }his time,
}here are not stormwater�ncems anticipated within }he northem portion of}he AUAR
area.
The AUAR area south of }he l�'^ S}reet Corridor Is malnly undeveloped and has
adequate e�istirtq drainage consisting of o�erland flows, with minimal culvert crossirtqs
alortq roads until stormwater outfalls into }he Missssippi at drainage area SN.3, which
�n be seen in }he AUAR Storm Sewer Map. Currently, }here are no regional basns
within }his portion of }he AUAR, but as development ocnurs, four potential lo�tions
ha�e been identified for regional stormwater basins }hat will be designed to meet }he
rate �n}rol requiremen}s for}he con}nbutirtq drainage area. Like}he area to}he north,
each property will be responsible for meeting }he city's �olume reduction and water
quality �mponen}s on a per parcel basis, pnor to stormwater beirtq released into
propos�d regional stormwater rate con}rol basins. There are no current stormwater
�ncems within}he southem portion of}he AUAR area.
MITIGATION STRATEGIES
• Stormwater BMP requiremen}s will need to be finalized with each site's
de�elopment within }he AUAR. It is likely to be more effiaent to continue to satisfy
rate �n}rol requiremen}s 6om multiple siteswith regional pondirtq as opposed to
multiple smaller ponds. Volume con}rol and water quality BMP requiremen}swill be
addressed orrsite, as will cons}ruction site stormwater management (e.g., erosion
and sediment con}rol). Infittration will be used as required by City Code as
appropnate to minimize impac}s to groundwater levels. In }he e�ent }hat a

steps should be taken }hat follow }he City's MS4 permit, ordinances, and }he
MPCA's requiremen}s to ensure}hat infittration does not occur.
• Should any e�sting ponding identified in }he SWMP be filled as part of ste
de�elopment, }hen hydraulic analysis shall be required to determine
�mpens�tory ponding. Such filling would also fall under Wetland Conser�ation
Act rules and would require Qty approval with appropnatewetland mitigation.
iii. Wafer appropriafion - Describe if fhe projecf proposes fo appropriale surtace or
groundwafer (including dewafering). Describe fhe source, quanfify, duralion, use
and purpose of fhe waler use and if a DNR wafer approprialion permif is required.
Describe any well abandonmeM. If connecfing fo an exisfing municipal waler
supply, ideMify fhe wells fo be used as a waler source and any effecfs on, or

for appropriafion. IdeMify any measures fo woid, minimize, or mifigafe
ernironmeMal effecfs hom fhe waler appropriafion.
Water Supply for }he AUAR area will be provided by }he City of Cottage Grove
muniapal water system. The City currently maintains 11 groundwaterwells to meet City
water demand, with one additional well currently under �ns}ruction. Current well
�paaty exceeds water usage and current water storage also exceeds }he
re�mmended �paaty. The water mains supplying }he AUAR area were designed for
future growfh capaaty and to provide ma�mum fire flow �pacity. Grow}h of }he
watersystem has followed }he planning established in }he WaterSupply and Dis}nbution
Plan, January �L706. The City has also �mpleted more recent water system planning
with }he �L716 DNR Water Supply Plan, which induded updated per capita water
demand requiremen}s for}he City.
The DNR Water Supply Plan �mpleted in December 2016 identified additional water
supply and storage planned within }he City to support future development. The City
water system is divided into }hree inter�nnected pressure zones to provide optimum
watersystem pressures to all customers. A newwell within }he High Pressure Zonewould
provide additional operational fle�bility and reduced pumping cas}s. Additional
storage in }he Low Pressure Zone is beirtq �nsdered to support growfh in }he Indus}nal
Park.
The portlon of }he AUAR area north of 100'^ S}reet has e�sfing }runk water dls}nbufion
system with water services stubbed into mast of}he parcels }hat remain unde�eloped.
The }runk water system has been desgned as part of }he overall Water Supply and
Dis}nbution Plan de�eloped by }he City to ac�mmodate de�elopment in }his area,
based on }he ultimate land use plan for }he City. Additional water supply and storage
may be required, as noted in both }he comprehensi�e plan and DNR Water Supply
Plan.

}he Low Pressure Zone, as detailed in }he WaterSupply and Dis}nbution Plan. Recent
de�elopment Inquires for parcels south of 100'^ S}reet, led }he Clty to �mplete
�nceptual }runk water system plannirtq. Mast recently, a Stantec evaluation dated

22
May 1Q 20V detailed }runk water system requiremen}s to ser�e a large portion of}he
AUARarea south of 100�^S}reet.
The City has identified 18 potential sites for future water supplywells. The grow}h of}he
well field is dependent on se�eral factors, induding increase in water demand, }he
effectiveness of water �nser�ation programs, }he presence of groundwater
�ntamination in southem Washington County, and }he o�erall sustainability of }he
Praine du ChierrJordan aquifersystem. The City is currently induded in }he DNR's North
and East Metro Groundwater Management Area, which was identified as a region of
}heState where groundwater le�els�uld be�me cntical ifwater usage outpaces}he
ability of}he aquifer(s) to recharge }herruel�es. Any future wells planned for Cottage
Gro�e will undergo review by DNR stafF to determine }heir potential impact to }he
aquifer and other nearby pnvate wells. A condition of obtainirtq an amended
appropnation permit to add new wells to }he rystem may indude some conditions,
induding longterm water le�el monitonrtq and water conservation prograrru. If
impac}s to natural resources or pn�ate wells are determined to ocnur, }he DNR may
require}hat municipal wells creating }he impact are either reduced in pumping rate or
taken offiine until }hose impac}s�n be address�d. Mitigation will depend on }he type
of impact and how manywells it impac}s.
Additionally, }he aquifer(s) }hat supply }he City's muniapal wells are impacted by
Perflourochemi�l (PFC) �ntamination }hat onginates 6om a number of landfills in
southem Washirtqton County. Changing heal}h guidelines for PFC contamination have
necessitated }he cons}ruction of to temporary water}reatment plan}s within Cottage
Gro�e to maintain flows to meet current demands. Additional }reatment plan}s may be
required in}he future to meet projected demands in }he comirtq years.
MITIGATION STRATEGIES
• Any futurewells needed to meet projected demandswill need to �mplywith }he
DNR's North and East Groundwater Management Plan in order to obtain an
appropnation permit for pumpirtq.
• Both e�sting and future wells will need to be in �mpliance with PFC
�ntamination guidelines. Wells}hat are out-of-compliancewith either need to be
}reated ortaken out ofservice.
• Expansion of}he}runkwatersystemwill be �ns}ructed as de�elopment occurs. A
�mprehensi�e evaluation, incorporating previous studies identified in }his section
and future changes to land use,will be required to detail }he required }runk water
main sizirtq and water supply and storage facilities.
In order to dnll and pump a new municipal water supply well, }he followirtq }hree permits
must be obtained:
1 . MNDNR Pre-�ns}ruction Permit — This permit application proposes a new well
lo�tion to }he MnDNR, so }hat any potential �nflic}swith e�sting wells or natural
resources (such as �I�reous fens) �n be identified. If it is belie�ed }hat no
�nflic}s are expected, }he City is}hen allowed to proceed with well �ns}ruction.
If potential impac}s are identified, it will be necessary to work with MNDNR staff to
ensure }hat any impac}s are minimized. If }he MNDNR does not approve of well
�ns}ruction at }he propased site, an altemative site (orwater source) will need to
be identified.

2 MDH Design Review—The plans and speafi�tions for}he new muniapal well must
be submitted to }he Minnesota Department of Heal}h (MDH) prior to dnlling to
ensure }hat }he proposed well design meets Well Code requiremen}s and will not
negatively impact }he aquifer(s) }hat}hewell inters�c}s.
3. MNDNR Water Appropriation Permit — Once }he well is �ns}ructed, }he City will
need to obtain an amendment to }heir e�istirtq Appropnation Permit in order to
pump }he new well. The MNDNR will outline any requiremen}s necessary for
amendirtq }he permit. These requiremen}s may indude aquifer testing and aquifer
monitonng, to ensure }hat no negati�e impac}s are ocnurnrtq with other wells or
naturalresources.
Expansion of}he e�istirtq potablewaterdis}nbution systemwill require}he following permit:
• MDH Desgn Review — The plans and speafications for new water system
cons}ruction must be submitted to MDH for appro�al. Design review is required for
water main, water storage faalities, water }reatment, and all municipal water
system facilities.

De�elopment in }he AUAR area indudes }he �ns}ruction of a water }reatment
plant (WTP). The current propased lo�tion of }he plant could potentially impact
NW�mapped wetlands orrste. Impac}s are antiapated to indude filling and
dredgirtq }he unconsolidated bottom pond (Cowardian dassifi�tion PUBG) and
}he emergent 6eshwaterwetlands (PEMA) assoaated with }he pond. Anywetlands
within }he AUAR area are under }he junsdiction of }he USACE and }he Wetland
Conservation Act (WCA). Additionally, }he City of Cottage Gro�e regulates any
ex��ation, grading, or filling in a wetland, designated flood plain, or shoreland
dis}nct Further �nsultation with }he City, County, or }he South Washington
Watershed Management Dis}nct will be conducted dunrtq }he planning phase of
}he WTP.
Both }he USACE and WCA require }hat impac}s to wetlands be avoided and
minimized to }he greatest practi�ble extent, and }hat altematives to impac}s are
examined. Altematives�n indude a 'no build' scenano, aswell as examining other
potential lo�tions for }he WTP within }he AUAR area. The propaser must provide
wntten explanation of}he chosen location, and explain whywetland impac}swere

intersection of Jamaica Ave and l�}h S}reet. The proposed location appears to
be pnmanly agncultural land and upland forest; howe�er, }he eastem edge of}he
WTP has }he potential to overlap with NWI-mapped wetlands. The propaser will
review}he projected WTP lo�tion and determine whether altemative lo�tions are
feasible within }he AUAR area. Part of }he review will indude wetland delineation

Conshucfion
Cons}ruction wastes will be typi�l relative to }he cons}ruction of utilities, roads, and
commeraal/indus}nal s}ructures. Cons}ructionwasteswill be pnmarily nonhazardous and �n
be managed as muniapal solid waste (MSW) or �ns}ruction/demolition debns. However,
hazardous wastes in }he form of used oils/lubncan}s, waste pain}s or other matenals may be
generated dunrtq cons}ruction. Through}he de�elopment review process, }he Citywill require
}hat all Minnesota Pollution Con}rol ,�qency (MPCA) and other appli�ble regulatory
requiremen}s be met in }he management and disposal of �ns}ructiorrrelated wastes.
Recydirtq will be s}rongly en�uraged, but }his will be }he responsibility of }he developer
and/or ihe consiruction�niractor.
Development within }he AUAR Area may require }he demolition of e�stirtq
residential/�mmeraal s}ructures and underground infras}ructure. It is estimated }hat up to 70
percent of}he solid wastes generated dunng buildirtq demolition can be recyded with }he
balance dispased of as�ns}ruction/demolition debns at a permitted landfill.
Hazardous waste is not anticipated to be generated dunng demolition, except for
abatement and remo�al of regulated matenals such as asbestas, refngeration equipment,
ligh}s, and other regulated wastes if }hey are en�untered. A prademolition Hazardous
Matenals Sur�ey of }he e�sting s}ructures will be completed pnor to }he start of demolition

Two de�elopment scenanos prepared by Stantecwere used as}he basis for estimatirtq MSW
generation. Scenano A - technology center with �mmercial businesses and single family
residences and Scenano B — a dis}nbution center with commeraal businesses and single
family residences. It is estimated }he number of employees required for both scenanas are
similar and is appro�mately 21,357 employees. The number of residential households is }he
same in both scenanos, appro�imately 557. The U.S EPA's �L711 publi�tion Municipal Solid
Waste in the United States was used as a basis for MSW generation for }he proposed
ind us}nal/�mmeraal de�elopment. It is estimated }hat 4.4 pounds of MSW will be generated
per person per day, resulting in an estimated V,150 tons of MSW generated per year on
a�erage. Current County estimates suggest}hat each household generates beteen OJ and
1 .l tons of MSW per year, resulting in appro�mately 35C7 to EfJO tons per year. It is projected
}hat 50� of MSW in }he County will �me 6om residential households and }hat .YJ� 6om
commeraal and indus}nal zones and }hat }hirty-to percent of all MSW will be recyded.
Therewill be dedicated storage/}rash areas at each indus}rial/�mmercial de�elopment }hat
will be used for recyding management and pickup. Curb side recyding will be provided for
}he residential properties. The County operates an "Environmental Center" located at 4IX39
Cottage Gro�e Dnve, Woodbury, MN 55129 for }he free disposal of household hazardous
wastes, elec}ronicsand recydables.
Past-cons}ruction waste will be typi�I of commeraal/indus}nal and residential land uses and
would be pnmanly managed as MSW. Some limited �olumes of hazardous wastes may be
generated. Through }he development review process, }he Qty will require }hat all MPCA and

a. Describe fish and wildlife resources as well as habifafs and vegefafion on or near fhe sife.
A detailed descnption of }he land cover types within }he AUAR area is provided in
Question 7.The vegetati�e land ��er present within }he AUAR area is limited to planted
or culti�ated �egetation and herbaceous cover (e.g., maintained lawn, open green
space) with limited upland deaduous forest. The vegetati�e land cover present within
}he AUAR area provides habitat for urban wildlife species, such as mice, rabbits,
racnoons, and squirrels, among others.
Per }he MLCCS data, }he AUAR area is pnmarily planted or culti�ated �egetation
(1,004J7 acres [57�]). Limited habitat is a�ailable for use by wildlife. Currently,
appro�mately 19� (329.33 acres) of }he AUAR area is available forest or herbaceous
habitat. Al}hough limited, forest, wetlands, and open water within }he AUAR area may
�nstitute suitable avian migration stopover habitat. Also, grassland (e.g., herbaceous
��er, parks, open space) within}he AUAR area may provide suitable nestirtq habitat for
birds. Therefore, }here is potential for migratory birds to be present within }he AUAR area

The wetland and open water features (85.89 acres) within }he AUAR area may provide
suitable habitat for some aquatic species, induding 6ogs and toads. Howe�er, it is
anticipated }hat }he wetland and open water support a limited di�ersity of aquatic
speaes due to }he isolation of }hese features. The wetlands and open water lo�ted

Federally Lisfed Threafened and Endangered Species
Per a review of}he U.S Fish and W ildlife SeMce's (USFWS's) Endangered Speaeswebsite',
}here are six federally listed species with geographic rartqes }hat indude Washirtqton
County:
• Higginseyepearlymussel (Lampsilishigginsii)—Endangered
• Northem lortq-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) —Threatened
• Rusty patched bumble bee (Bombus affinis) —Endangered
• Snuffboxmussel (Epioblasmatriquetra) —Endartqered
• Spectade�semussel (Cumberlandiamonodonta) —Endangered
• Wingedmapleleafmussel (Quadrulafragosa) -Endangered
However, as per}he USFWS Information for Planning and Conser�ation (IPaC) Database�,
only }hree of}hese speaes has }he potential to occurwithin }he AUAR area: }he Higgins
eye pearly mussel, northern lortq-eared bat, and }he snuffbox mussel.
The Higgins eye pearly mussel inhabits }he Missssppi River and some of its larger northern
}nbutanes. The AUAR area does not �ntain suitable habitat (e.g., waterways, Mississippi
Ri�er) for }his speaes and }here will be no impact on }he Higgins eye pearly mussel as a

The snufFbox mussel inhabits }he St. Croix Ri�er. The AUAR area does not �ntain suitable
ha bitat (e.g.,waterways,St. Croix Ri�er) for}his species and }here wi II be no i mpact on}he
snufFbox mussel as a result of}he proposed de�elopment scenanos.
The northem long-eared bat (NLEB) is a �mmonly en�untered species }hroughout }he
majonty of }he Midwest, being �mmonly �ptured in mist-net sur�eys (USFWS 2016a3).
However, }hey are typi�lly found in in low numbers in hibemacula in }he Midwest (USFWS
�L716a).
In }he winter, NLEB hibemate in large �ves and mines }hat ha�e large passages and
en}rances, �nstant temperatures, and high humidity with no air curren}s. No ��es or
s}ructures are present within }he AUAR area }hat would provide suitable winter habitat for
}his spea es.
In }he spnng, summer and fall, NLEB use a wide �anety of forested habitats for roasting,
foraging and }ra�eling, and may also utilize some adjacent and interspersed norrforested
habitat such as emergent wetlands and edges of fields. This speaes has also been found
roasting in s}ructures like bams and sheds (particularly when suitable }ree roas}s are
unavailable). The bats emerge at dusk to forage in upland and lowland woodlots and
}realined �rridors, feeding on insec}s, which }hey �}ch while in Flight usrtq
echolo�tion. This speaes also feeds by gleaning ins�c}s from �egetation and water
surfaces (USFWS�L7 Va).
Roastirtq habitat indudes forested areas with live }rees and/or snags with a diameter at
breast height (dbh) of at least }hree incheswith exfoliating bark, cracks, crevices and/or
other cavities. Trees are �nsdered suitable roast }rees if }hey meet }hase requiremen}s
and are located within 1,0� feet of another suitable roost }ree, woodlot, or wooded
fencerow (USFWS �L716a). Matemity habitat is defined as suitable summer habitat }hat is
used byjweniles and reproducti�e females. Afier hibemation ends in late March or early
Apnl, mast NLEB migrate to summer roas}s. The NLEB acti�e season is }he penod beteen
emergenceandhibemationfromApnll —October3l (USFWS20Va).
The AUAR area contains appro�mately Q26 acre of forested habitat. The forest/}rees
present }hroughout }he AUAR area are unlikely to provide suitable summer habitat for}he
NLEB due to }heir size and lack of connectivity to large, contiguous }rac}s of forest. The
wetlands and open water lo�ted within and near}he ste may provide dnnkirtq sources
for NLEB utilizirtq habitat outsde}he AU RA area.

Direct mortality from collision with �ns}ruction equipment is unlikely given }hat
�ns}ruction activities will ocnur dunrtq daylight hours when bats would not be acti�e.
Though }he }rees present within }he AUAR area are unlikely to be utilized by NLEB, }ree
deanng as a result of }he proposed de�elopment scenanos may affect potentially
suitable NLEB summer habitat within }he AUAR area. Per a review of}he USFWS's Whita
NoseSyndrome (WNS) Zone map dated June3Q 20V^, Washirtqton County, Minnesota is
a county in which W NS has been detected.Therefore, }he AUAR area fallswithin }he W NS
buffer zone per ihe Fina I 4(d) Rule under ihe Endangered Species Act (ESA).
For areaswithin }he WNS bufferzone, }he incidental take (e.g., }he harm, harassment or
killing of a bat as a sde efFect of otherwise lawful actions, like }ree deanrtq) 6om }ree
remo�al activities is not prohibited unless 1) it resul}s in removing a known occupied
matemity roast }ree, 2) if }ree remo�al activities occur within I.YJ feet of a known
ocnupied matemity roast }ree 6om June 1 }hrough July 31, or 3) }ree removal activities
ocnur within Q25 mile of a hibemaculum at any time. Tree removal activities may }hen
proceed without a permit and }here is no need to contact }he USFWS.
Due diligence is generally required to determine if a matemity roost }ree or a
hibemaculum is on }he property; however, per}he Final 4(d) Rule, pri�ate landowners are
not required to �nduct sur�eys on }heir lands. In Minnesota, }he DNR maintains records of
matemity roost }rees ora hibemaculumwithin its Natural Hentage InventorySystem (NHIS)
database.
No field sur�eys for potential roost }rees were �nducted as part of }his assessment;
}herefore, it is unknownwhethersuitable roost }rees ocnur in or near}he AUAR area. Upon
review of}he DNR NHIS database under license agreement LA�79, }here are no re�rds
of NLEB matemity roast }rees or a hibemaculum within}he AUAR area or its vianity.
As }here are no records of NLEB matemity roost }rees or a hibemaculum within }he AUAR
area or a Q2&mile buffer, incidental take of NLEB as a result of}ree removal activities is
not prohibited under}he Final4(d) Rule under}he ESA.

• Loggerhead shnke (Lanius ludovicianus) — This speaes is }racked and listed as
Endangered in Minnesota. This speaes is documented within }he AUAR area, as
well aswithin a one-mile buffer of}he AUAR area. Per}he DNR species profile, }he
loggerhead shnke lives in areas of upland grasses and sometimes in agncultural
areaswhere short grass�egetation and perching sites such as hedgerows, shrubs,

Threatened (THR) and Endangered (END) speaes have legal protection status in
Minnesota. Potential impac}s to species designated as THR or END have in Table 13.1
ha�e been e�aluated below.
AauaticSpeaes: Four aquaticspecies have documented occurrenceswithin one mile of
}he AUAR area. The rock pocketbook mussel, ebonyshell mussel, and wartyback mussel
inhabit }he Mississippi Ri�er. The AUAR area does not �ntain suitable habitat (e.g.,
waterways, Mississippi River) for }hese mussel speaes; }herefore, impac}s to }he rock
pocketbook, ebonyshell, and wartyback as a result of }he proposed development
scenanos are not antiapated. Furthermore, }he development scenanos do not indude
alterations to }he Mississppi Ri�er. If required practices for stormwater and sediment
con}rol are followed dunng �ns}ruction or development within }he AUAR area, }hen
}herewill be no effect on}hese aquaticspeaes.
Bird Speaes: Henslow's sparrow prefers unculti�ated grasslands and old fields with stalks
forsinging perches and a substantial litter layer. Grasslands over 247 acres are preferable;
howe�er, }he species is known to utilize smaller areas of suitable habitat. There are
appro�mately 329.12 acres of herbaceous land ��er within }he AUAR area which may
potential provide suitable habitat for }he Henslow's sparrow. Subsequently, speaes-
speafic sur�eys and consultation with }he DNR pnor to cons}ruction in areas with suitable
habitat for }he Henslow's sparrow may be required pnor to �ns}ruction and
de�elopment.
Reptiles: The Blandirtq's turtle is found in wetland complexes, �Im, shallow waters
assoaated with nvers and s}rearru, and adjacent sandy uplands. This reptile is known to
utilize upland habitat areas up to and o�er a mile 6om }heirwetland habitat for nesting,
baskirtq, penods of dormancy, and }ra�eling beteen wetlands. Be�use }he Blandirtq's
turtlewas documented within one mile of}he AUAR area, }here is potential for}his speaes

wetland habitat, speaes-specific sur�eys and consultation with }he DNR pnor to
�ns}ruction in areas with suitable habitat (both upland and wetland) for }he Blanding's
turtle may be required prior to cons}ruction and development.
Vascular Plant Soeaes: Three plant species were documented within one mile of }he
AUAR area Louisiana broomrape habitat is limited to dry praines and dry sa�annas;
howe�er, some populations are known to be assoaated with deep sand depos}s alortq
}he Mississippi Ri�er.The AUAR area does not contain praine or sa�annah habitat, and }he
de�elopment scenanas do not indude alterations to }he Missssippi Ri�er; }herefore,
de�elopmen}within }he AUAR area will ha�e no effect on}he Louisiana broomrape.
The Minnesota populations of kitterrtails are res}ncted to }he bluffs and terraces of}he St.
Croir„ Mississippi, and Minnesota n�er �alleys. The AUAR area does not indude n�enne
bluffs or terraces, nor are impac}s to}hese areas propased in }he de�elopment scenanos.
Therefore, de�elopmen}within }he AUAR area will ha�e no effect on}he kitterrtail.
The seasde }hreaawn is found in }he dry, loose sand habitats of sand sa�annas, sand
praines, and dunes,where vegetation is spars�. The AUAR area does not �ntain suitable
seaside }hree-awn habitat; }herefore, de�elopment within }he AUAR area will ha�e no
efFect on}his plant speaes.
Speaes of Speaal Concem (SPC) do not ha�e legal protection status in Minnesota;
}herefore, state regulations do not protect }hese species. Subsequently, }he following
speaes were not evaluated as part of}his AUAR: Amen�n eel, lark sparrow, HiIPs }histle,
North Ameri�n racer, peregnne falcon, Leonard's skipper, purple sandgrass, and BeIPs
vi reo.
Per an analysis of Minnesota Biologi�l Sur�ey (MBS) data, }here are no mapped high
quality plant �mmunities within }he AUAR area; howe�er, many highrquality plant
�mmunities are mapped within a one mile radius of}he AUAR area. These �mmunities
�rrespond with }he documentation of}he THR and END species within }he vianity of}he
AUAR area, discussed above. Development of }he AUAR area does not indude
alterations to any of}he mapped plant communities.
Per an analysis of Minnesota Biologi�l Survey (MBS) data, }here is one DNR-mapped Sites
of Biodi�ersity Signifi�nce within }he AUAR area. This area is assoaated with }he
herbaceous land ��er type, and �ntains openwater and wetlands.

The development scenanos are not antiapated to ha�e a signifi�nt ad�erse effect on
federa Ily or statalisted }hreatened and endangered speaes in }he AUAR a rea.
Al}hough }he AUAR area is unlikely to provide suitable summer habitat for}he NLEB, under
}he Final 4(d) Rule of}he ESA, }ree deanrtq is not prohibited as}here are no re�rds of NLEB
matemity roost }rees or a hi bemacu lum within }he AUAR a rea or a Q2&mi le bufFer.
Urban wildlife may be impacted with }he remo�al ofwoodland and dry grassland within
}he AUAR area; however, }hese habitat generalist species are typically adapti�e to
development activities and would likely relo�te to unde�eloped areas in }he vianity or
�ntinue to li�e in }he remaining undeveloped areaswithin}he AUAR area.
Cons}ruction activities in grassland, roadsides, shrubland, or woodland habitats within }he
AUAR area may result in }he takirtq of migratory birds, eggs, young and/or active nes}s, if
present. Al}hough }he provisons of }he MBTA are appli�ble }hroughout }he entire year,
most migratory bird nesting activity in Minnesota occurs appro�imately 6om mid-March to
August 15. W hen possble, removal of�egetation will ocnur outside of}his timing window to
minimize potential take of migratory birds, if present.
Cons}ruction activities }hat involve soil disturbance can result in }he in}roduction and
spread of in�asive speaes. Minnesota statutes (Chapter 18) and local ordinances
regulate management of no�ous weeds and in�as�e speaes. Best management
practices dunng �ns}ruction activities and operation within }he AUAR area should be
implemented to minimize }he in}roduction or spread of no�ous weeds and in�asive
species at}he site.
d. Idenfify measures fhaf will be faken fo woid, minimize, or mifigale adverse effecfs fo fish,
wildlife,planf communifies, and sensifive ecological resources.
The de�eloper will �nsult with }he MNDNR pnor to de�elopment and �ns}ruction;
howe�er, }he potential presence of }hese speaes is not antiapated to pre�ent
de�elopment.Speaes-speaficsur�eyswill be�nducted, if recommended or required by
}he MNDNR, to pre�ent impac}s to state-listed species to}he greatest practicable extent.
Impac}s to wetlands and open water within }he AUAR area are not currently proposed
under}he de�elopment scenanos.

Ozone
Ground-level ozone is a pnmary constituent of smog and is a pollution problem
}hroughout many areas of}he United States. Exposures to ozone �n cause people to be
more susceptible to respiratory infection, resulting in lung inflammation, and aggravatirtq
respiratory diseases, such as as}hma. Ozone is not emitted directly from vehides but is
formed when volatile organic�mpounds (VOCs) and nitrogen o�des (NOx) react in ihe
presence of sunlight. Transportation sources emit NOx and VOCS and �n, }herefore,

The MPCA, in �operation with �anous other agenaes, indus}nes, and groups, has
encouraged voluntary con}rol measures for ozone and has begun de�eloping a regional
ozone modelirtq effort. Ozone concen}rations in }he lower atmosphere are inFluenced by

currentiy meet the new standard —but some parts of the state are dose.
Measured ozone levels in some areas of the state are now within 85%
or more of the le�el of the ozone standard, placing these areas at greater
risk

Parficulafe Malfer
Particulate matter (PM) is }he term for partides and liquid droplets suspended in }he air.
Partides come in a wide �anety of sizes and ha�e been histoncally assessed based on
size, typi�lly measured by }he diameter of }he partide in micrometers. PlVks, or fine
particulate matter, refers to partides }hat are 25 micrometers or less in diameter. PMio
refers to particulate matter}hat is 10 micrometers or less in diameter.
Motor�ehides (i.e., cars, }rucks, and buses) emit direct PM from }heir tailpipes, as well as
from normal brake and tire wear. Vehide dust 6om pa�ed and unpaved roads may be

On December 14, 2012 }he EPA issued a final rule revisirtq }he annual heal}h NAA4S for
fine partides (PlVks). The rule can be found in 40 CFR Parts .YJ, 51, 52 53 and 53 of ihe

lowering the level to 120 micrograms per cubic meter (�g/m3J. The
existing annual standard, 15.0 �g/m3, was set in 1997. The EPA is revising
the annual PMes standard to 120 �g/m3 so as to provide increased
protection against health effects associated with long- and short-term
exposures (induding premature mortalily, increased hospital admissions

35�g/m3 (the EPA issued the 24-hourstandard in 2005J. The EPA is revising
the Air Qualily Index (AQIJ for PMes to be consistent with the revised
primary PMes standards.
The EPA also retained }he e�stirtq standards for coarse partide pollution (PMio). The

Nifrogen Dioxide (Nifrogen Oxides)
Nitrogen o�des, or NO., are }he genenc term for a group of highly reacti�e gases, all of
which contain nitrogen and o�ygen in varying amoun}s. Nitrogen o�des form when fuel is
bumed at high temperatures, as in a �mbustion process. The pnmary sources of NO.are
motorvehides, elec}nc utilities, and off-road equipment. The MPCA'swebsite�� indi�tes
}hat:
On its own, nitrogen dioxide c�n c�use lung irritation and diminish
immune responses to respiratory infections. Individuals with pr�existing
conditions especialiy asthma, as well as young children and the elderiy,
are particularlysusc�ptible. Exposure can cause ceughing, wheezing, or
difficully breathing, and can send affected individuals to the hospital.

analysis of NOzwas not conducted for}his project.
Sulfur Dioxide
Sulfur dio�ide (SOz) and other sulfur o�ide gases (SO.) are formed when fuel �ntaining
sulfur, such as coal, oil, and diesel fuel is bumed. Sulfur dio�de is a heavy, pungent,
�lorless gas. Ele�ated levels can impair breathing, lead to other respiratory symptoms,
and at �ery high levels aggra�ate heart disease. People with as}hma are mast at nsk
when SOz le�els increas�. Once emitted into}he atmosphere,SOz �n be fur}her o�idized
to sulfunc aad, a �mponent of acid rain. Emissions of sulfur o�des from }ransportation
sources are a small component of overall emissons and continue to dedine due to }he
desulphunzation of fuels.
Acnording to Air Qualily in Minnesota: 2015 Report to the Legislature, MPCA monitonrtq
shows ambient SO� concen}rations at 19 percent of federal standards in 2013, in other
words �nsistently below state and federal standards. The MPCA has conduded }hat
lortq-term }rends in both ambient air�ncen}rations and total SOz emissions in Minnesota
indi�te steady impro�ement. In }he 2018 Annual Air Monitoring Network Plan for

On June 2 201Q the EPA finalized revisions to the primarySOe NAAQS EPA
established a new 1-hour standard which is met if the three-year a�erage
of the annual99th percentile daiiymaximum 1-hourSOe concentration is

re�oked the existing 24-hour and annual standards. (Chart 163: 1-Hour
SOe Concentrations Compared to the N,4AQs belowj describes the 2013-
2015 average 99th percentile 1-hour SOe concentration and compares
them to the 1-hour standard. Minnesota a�erages ranged from 2 ppb at

Mobile Sourc�Air Toxics
Con}rolling air to�c emissions be�me a national prionty with }he passage of}he Clean
Air Act Amendmen}s (CAAA) of 195C7, whereby Cortqress mandated }hat }he EPA
regulate 188 air to�ics, also known as hazardous air pollutan}s. The EPA has assess�d }his
expansi�e list in }heir latest rule on }he Con}rol of Hazardous Air Pollutan}s 6om Mobile
Sources�b, and identified a group of 93 �mpounds emitted 6om mobile sources}hat are
listed in}heir Integrated Risk InformationSystem (IRIS).��
In addition, EPA identified seven compounds with significant con}nbutions from mobile
sources}hat are among }he national and regiona�s�le �ncer nsk dn�ers 6om }heir 1999
Nationa4S�le Air To�cs Assessment (NATA)Ja These are acrolein, benzene, l,&butidiene,
diesel particulate matter plus diesel e�aust organic gas�s (diesel PM), formaldehyde,
naph}halene, and polycydic organic matter. While FHWA considers }hese }he pnonty
mobile source air to�cs, }he list is subject to chartqe and may be adjusted in
�nsideration of future EPA rules.
Mofor Vehicle Emissions Simulalor(MOVES)
Acnording to EPA, MOVES impro�es upon }he previous MOBILE model in se�eral key
aspec}s: MOVES is bas�d on a �ast amount of irruse �ehide data �Ilected and
analyzed since }he latest release of MOBILE, induding millions of emissions measuremen}s
6om light-duty vehides. Analysis of }his data enhanced EPA's understanding of how
mobile sources�n}ribute to emissions inventones and }he relati�e effecti�eness of�anous
�n}rol s}rategies. In addition, MOVES acnoun}s for }he signifi�nt effec}s }hat �ehide
speed and temperature ha�e on PM emissions estimates, whereas MOBILE did not.
MOVES�L710b indudes all air to�c pollutan}s in NATA }hat are emitted by mobile sources.
EPA has in�rporated more recent data into MOVES�L710b to update and enhance }he
quality of MSAT emission estimates. These data reFlect ad�anced emission con}rol
technology and modem fuels, plus additional data for older technology�ehides.
Based on an FHWA analysis using EPA's MOVES2010b model, as shown in Chart 1l4
below, e�en if vehide-miles }ra�elled (VMT) increases by 102 percent as assumed from
�L710 to �L7.YJ, a combined reduction of 83 percent in }he total annual emissions for }he
pnonty MSAT is projected for}he same time penod.

diesel PM emissions, espeaally for lower speeds. Consequently, diesel PM is projected to
be}he dominant component of}he emissions total?�
Qualifafive MSAT Analysis
For either de�elopment scenano in }his AUAR, }he amount of MSAT emitted would be
proportional to }he a�erage daily }raffic, or ADT, assuming }hat other vanables such as
fleet mix are}he sa me.
The ADT estimated for either build scenano is higher}han }hat for}he No Build condition,
be�use of }he additional activity assoaated with }he proposed de�elopment. This
increase in ADT would lead to higher MSAT emissions in }he vianity of}he AUAR area. The
higher emissions �uld be offset somewhat by a decrease in regional }raffic due to
increased use of}ransit. The extent to which }hes� emissions decreases will ofiset �ehide
related emissions increases is not known.
However, regardless ofwhich scenano is chosen, emissionswill likely be lower}han present
le�els in }he design year as a result of EPA regulations forvehide engines and fuels,which
are expected to �use o�erall MSAT emissions to dedine signifi�ntly over }he next
several decades. Based on regulations now in effect, an analyss of national }rendswith
EPA's MOVES�L714 model fore�s}s a �mbined reduction of o�er 90 percent in }he total
annual emissions rate for}he pnonty MSAT 6om �L710 to �L750 while �ehidamiles of}ravel
are projected to increase by over 45 percent (Updated Intenm Guidance on Mobile
Source Air To�c Malysis in NEPA Documenis, Federal Highway Adminis}ration, October 12
�L716). Thiswill both reduce }he bacl�qround le�el of MSAT aswell as}he passibility of even
minor MSAT emissons 6om }his project Lo�l �nditions may differ 6om }hese national
projections in terrru of Fleet mix and turno�er, ADT grow}h rates, and lo�l con}rol
measures. Howe�er, }he EPA-projected reductions are so sgnifi�nt (even afier
ac�untirtq forADT growfh) }hat MSAT emissions in }he study area are likely to be lower in
}he future in nearly all �ses.
The additional activity �ntemplated as part of }he project scenanas could ha�e }he
efFect of increasing emissions in }he vianity of nearby homes and businesses; }herefore,
under}he Build scenano }here may be localized areas where ambient �ncen}rations of
MSATswould be higher}han under}he No Build �nditions. Howe�er, as discussed above,
}he magnitude and }he duration of }hese potential difFerences cannot be reliably
quantified due to incomplete or una�ailable information in forecastirtq project-speafic
heal}h impac}s. E�en }hough }here may be differences among }he scenanos, on a regiorr

wide basis, EPA's vehide and fuel regulations, coupled with fleet turno�er, will �use
substantia l reductions o�er time}hat in almost all cases}he MSAT le�els in }he future wi II be
significantly lower}han today.
In �ndusion, }he Build scenanas for }he project are expected to be associated with
higher levels of MSAT emissions in }he study area, relati�e to }he No Build condition, along
with some benefit from mode shifis to }ransit. There also �uld be slightly higher
difFerences in MSAT le�els in a few lo�lized areas where activity ocnurs daser to homes,
and businesses. Under all scenanas, MSAT le�els are likely to decrease o�er time due to
nationally mandated deaner�ehides and fuels.
The resul}s of }he analysis demons}rate }hat �ncen}rations of � in }he project area
would be substantially below}he state and federal standards, and }hat no exceedances
are antiapated due to additional }rafficgenerated by}he proposed de�elopment.
Pofenfial Impacfs
The increase in activity associated with }he project Build scenanos was �nsdered in a
qualitative evaluation of MSATs. The increased }raffic associated with }he Build scenarias
�uld lead to higher MSAT emissions near}he de�elopment site.Therefore, under}he build
scenanas }here may be localized areas where ambient concen}rations of MSATs would
be higher }han under }he no build conditions. However, }he magnitude and duration of
}hese potential difFerences cannot be reliably quantified, due to incomplete or
unavailable information in fore�sting project-specific heal}h impac}s. On a regiorrwide
basis, EPA's�ehide and fuel regulations, coupled with fleet tumover,will �use substantial
reductions o�er time }hat in almost all �ses }he MSAT le�els in }he future will be
significantly lower}han today.
MITIGATION STRATEGIES
The qualitati�e analysis �ntained in }his section demons}rates }here will be no
antiapated exceedances of air pollutant concen}rations resulting from }he
propos�d project; }herefore, no mitigation measures are necessary. The State of
Minnesota does not require permits for }raffio-related emissions for projec}s of}his
type. This analysis also demons}rates }hat no exceedances are antiapated under
}he cons}ruction phase. However, a senes of Best Management Practices (BMPs)
would be implemented durirtq cons}ruction to �n}rol dust. This may indude }he
following pre�entive and mitigative measures:
• Minimization of land disturbance dunrtq site preparation
• Use ofwatenng }rucks to minimize dust
• Coverirtq of}ruckswhile hauling soil/debns off-site or}ransferring materials
• Sta bilization of dirt piles if}hey are not removed immediately

• Use of dust suppressan}s on unpa�ed areas
• Minimization of unnecessary�ehide and machinery idling
c. Dusf and odors - Describe sources, chamcferisfics, duralion, quaMifies, and infensily of
dusf and odors generaled during projecf consfrucfion and operafion. (Fugilive dusf may
be discussed under ifem 16a). Discuss fhe effecf of dusf and odors in fhe vicinify of fhe
projecf including nearby sensifive recepfors and qualify of life. IdeMify measures fhaf
will be faken fo minimize or miligafe fhe eMecfs of dusf and odors.
The Preferred Altemati�e would not generate substantial odors dunrtq cons}ruction.
Potential odors would indude e�aust from diesel ertqines and fuel storage. Dust
generated durirtq cons}ruction will be minimized }hrough standard dust �n}rol measures
such as applyirtq water to exposed soils and limitirtq }he exfent and duration of expased
soil �nditions. Cons}ruction con}ractors will be required to con}rol dust and other
airbome particulates in acnordance with MnDOT speafi�tions. Afier cons}ruction is
complete, dust levels are antiapated to be minimal be�use all soil surtaces exposed
dunng �ns}ructionwould be in permanent cover (i.e., pa�ed or re�egetated areas).
MITIGATION STRATEGIES
No additional mitigation s}rategies required.
17. Noise
Describe sources, chamcferisfics, dumfion, quanfilies, and iMensily of noise generaled
during projecf consfrucfion and opemfion. Discuss fhe eMecf of noise in fhe vicinily of fhe
projecf including 1) exisfing noise levels/sources in fhe area, 2) nearby sensifive recepfors,
3) conformance fo sfale noise sfandards, and 4) qualify of life. Idenfiy measures fhaf will be
faken fo minimize or mifigafe fhe effecfs of noise.
As stated in}he AUARguidelines, �ns}ruction noise need not be addressed unless}here is
some unusual reason to do so. No unusual arcurrutances ha�e been identified }hatwould
necessitate a detailed noise analysis.
Noise is defined as any unwanted sound.Sound }ravels in a wa�e motion and is measured
as a sound pressure le�el. This sound pressure le�el is commonly measured in decibels.
Deabels (dB) represent }he logan}hm of }he ratio of a sound energy relative to a
reference sound energy. For highway }raffic noise, an adjus}ment, or weighting, of }he
highrand low-pitched sound is made to appro�mate }he way }hat an a�erage person
hears sound. The adjusted sound le�els are stated in units of"A-weighted deabels" (dBA).
A sound increase of 3 dBA is barely noticeable by }he human ear, a 5 dBA increase is
dearly noticeable, and a 10 dBA increase is heard as tce as loud. For example, if}he
sound energy is doubled (i.e., }he amount of}raffic doubles), }here is a 3 dBA increase in
noise, which is just barely noticeable to mast people. On }he other hand, if }raffic
increases by a factor of ten times, }he resulting sound le�el will increase by about 10 dBA
and be heard to be tce as loud.

Traffic noise impac}s in Minnesota are evaluated by measunng and/or modeling }he
}raffic noise le�els }hat are exceeded 10 percent and 50 percent of}he time dunng }he
hours of }he day and/or night }hat ha�e }he loudest }raffic scenano. Thes� numbers are
identified as }he L10 and L.YJ levels, respectively. The L10 �alue is }he noise le�el }hat is
exceeded for a total of 10 percent, or 6 minutes, of an hour. The L.YJ value is }he noise
le�el}hat is exceeded for a total of.YJ percent, or2IJ minutes, of an hour.
Traffic �olume, types of�ehides, operatirtq speed, topography, and distance 6om }he
road to }he receptor influences }he }raffic noise le�el at }he receptor. The sound le�el
decreases as distance 6om a source increases. A general rule regarding sound le�el
decrease due to increasing distance 6om a line source (roadway) }hat is�mmonly used
is: beyond appro�imately 50 feet 6om }he sound source, each doubling of distance 6om
}he line source over hard ground (such as pavement orwater) will reduce}he sound level
by 3 dBA, whereas each doubling of distance over sofi ground (such as �egetated or
grassy ground) resul}s in a sound level decrease of4.5 dBA.
The following table provides a rough �mpanson of }he noise levels of some common
noise sources.

Pofenfial Impacfs
Within}he development area, an increase in }raffic�olumes, particularly 6om}ruck}raffic,
will result o�er }he e�sting condition. The project will need to �mply with }he State of
Minnesota noise standards, which establish allowable noise le�els to protect nearby
receptorssuch as residences, commeraal and indus}nal areas, parks and open space.

}hat }he potential for noise impact is sufficiently reduced. These details will be
determined as }he project de�elopment proceeds. Once }he project is further
defined, setback distances 6om }he roadway netork within }he AUAR area will
be reviewed relati�e to }he receptors listed in }he abo�e section to determine }he
potential for}he project to exceed State noise standards.
If needed, a noise analysis will be �nducted to model }he e�istirtq and build

MINNOISEV31 (FHWA Stamina model adapted by MnDOT for use in Minnesota).
Pnor to beginnirtq }he noise analysis, }he City will meet with MPCA staff to discuss
}he proposed }raffic noise analysis methodology to ensure}hat State Standards will
be met. Daytime noise monitonng will be �nducted at predetermined lo�tions
on }he project site. A build condition noise model will be developed for speafied
lo�tions on }he project site and be �mpared to State daytime and nighttime
noise standards. If State standards are exceeded, an analysis of proposed noise

Build Year 2020
Analysis was �mpleted for a build year of�L7�L7. It was assumed }hat }he only cons}ruction }hat
would be completed at }his point would be }he Technology Center for Scenano A and }he
Dis}nbution Center for Scenario B. Tnp generation was de�eloped using }he 17E Trip Generation
Manuals 9m Edition. The }nps were }hen dis}ributed }hrough }he netork using knowledge of}he
area and engineenng judgement. An annual grow}h rate of 4�was applied to }he bacl�qround
}raffia Thiswas denved from MnDOPs Traffic Projection Factors, and Washington County's factor
of 1.3 for�L}year grow}h.The resul}s of}he ana lysis�n be seen in Ta ble 1&2 and Ta ble 1&3.
To gain acness to }he new de�elopment, it is assumed }hat a south leg has been added to
Jamai� Avenue at 100�^ S}reet. The new approach is assumed to be to lanes with a lefi-
}hrough lane and a }hroughrnght lane. It is also assumed }hat }he intersection will be al�way stop
�n}rolled.

As seen In }he resul}s, a II Intersectlons malntaln a LQS C or better. The eas}bound approach of 9S^
S}reet at Jamai� does detenorate to a LQS F. This is a result of lefi-tumirtq vehides finding
insufficient gaps to complete }he mo�ement. Passible mitigation efForts to reduce}he delays and
queues for}his mo�ement indude:
• Enhanced }raffic �n}rol - Chartqing }he intersection to an al�way stop or roundabout
�n}rol. Should }raffic volumes exceed }he capaaty of}hese options, }hen a }raffic signal
should be�nsidered,
• Res}nping of eas}bound approach -Along with enhanced }raffic �n}rol, }he lanes �n
be res}nped to be a dedicated lefi-tum lane and a left-}hroughrnght lane.
Full Build Forecasf Year2040
The full build analyss was completed for }he year 2040. Background }raffic was increased by a
factor of 1 .3. While }his increas� is reasonable, but conservati�e, in }he less developed southem

As seen in }he resul}s, all intersections maintain a LQS C or better, except for }he intersections of
��^ S}reet &TH-61 SB, and ��^S}reet & Hadley A�enue dunrtq }he AM peak. The pnmary source
of delay for}he �rridor is}hat }he number of vehides attemptirtq to make a lefi-tum onto TH-61
NB �nnot be adequately serviced by a single tum lane. As noted abo�e, }he increase of}raffic
in}his area reflec}s a �nservati�e approach to}he analysis. Howe�er, }he interchartqe should be
monitored over time to ensure delays of}his magnitude are not realized.
Tnp generation for }he full build was de�eloped using }he ITE Trip Generation Manual 9r^ Edition.
Reductionswere made forsome of}he developmen}s to ac�unt for multi-}nps, pass-by}nps, and

The analysis shows}hat alortq with }he 80'^S}reet Interchartqe, �ndltlons on}he Jamal� Avenue
interchange ha�e also degraded to failing LQS. Conditions have also detenorated for }he
intersections of Jamai� Avenue & 9S^ S}reet, Jamaica A�enue & 100�^S}reet, and Miller Road
and Keats A�enue. Under }hese �nditions, mitigation is likely to be needed for }hese
intersections.
As mentioned in }he previous section, mitigation for Jamai� Avenue & 9S^ S}reet indude
enhanang }raffic con}rol and res}nping }he eas}bound approach. For }hese }raffic �olumes, a
}rafficsignalwould likelyberequired.
Jamai� A�enue and 1��^S}reet will also require a }raffic signal. With }he geometncs set forth in
}he previous section, no further changes are expected to be needed.
2077 Cottage Gro�e Business ParkAUHR

Chartqes to Miller Road & Keats A�enue are likely to be limited by }he a�ailability of ROW. The
en}rance to }he 3M faalities and }he pro�mity of}he railroad line limits some options of changes
in geometncs and }raffic�n}roL Furthermore, }he placement of}he rail line makes }he possibility
of al�way stop con}rol difficult as }he stop sign for}he southbound approach would need to be
north of}he }racks so queueing on }he}racks doesn't ocnur. Before any impro�emen}s are made
to }he intersection it should fiM be determined if l��^ S}reet is going to be extended to Keats
Avenue.
The Jamaica A�enue interchange will need to be �mpletely reimagined to ac�mmodate }he
added �olume of }raffia Much like Miller Road & Keats Avenue, ROW will limit }he options
available.
TH-61 will need to bewidened by a minimum of 1 lane in each direction from Jamai� Avenue to
I-494, and passibly beyond to I-94.
The resul}s of}hese mitigation efForts�n be seen in}he analysisshown in Table 1&7 and Table 1&

19. Cumulafive Pofenfial EMecfs
The cumulati�e potential efFec}s assoaated with }his large AUAR area are assoaated with
normal growfh and development o�er time. These have been identified in }he respons�s to
each of}he rele�ant questions. One of}he primary purpases for}he preparation of}his review
is to anticipate and mitigate }he potential efFec}s assoaated with a major development. This
major user may be a technology center, or it may be a dis}nbution center.The Mitigation Plan
identifies}he impro�emen}s}hat will be required to acnommodate}his major user.
The rest of}he AUAR area is projected to de�elop incrementally, at a pace similar to }he past
tenty years. At }his pace, a signifi�nt portion of }he total area will remain �acant and
undeveloped by �L740. Since }he AUAR area will be analyzed in }he pending 2040
Comprehensi�e Plan Update and }he AUAR will be updated every five years, }he Qty is
confident }hat modifi�tions to }he Mitigation Plan can be made as future de�elopment and
