8 2. New Brighton Stripping company with a one-story building with some .outside storage. 3. Midwest Asphalt Company with a one-story office building, a two-story repair shop, an asphalt redi-mix plant, and outside piles of aggre- gate about 18 to 20 feet high. The incinerator building dimensions ill be about 180 by 1b0 feet and 20 feet high. No outside. storage will be needed. A truck scale platform will be needed also. -The stack height at this point is estimated at 35 feet above ground level. The industrial park is triangular in shape. Two sides are bounded by the Minsesota Transfer Railroad company tracks, on the east by tracks called Butchers Spur, on-the west by tracks called New Brighton Spur. Along side these tracks is a berm 8 to 10 feet high which shelters parkland from tracks and the industrial park. The energy plant would be shielded from view of the parkland by the. berm, railway property, and the tree and shrub screen that will be planted. The exhaust stack and steam vent pipes could be visible from the parklands. The parklands. are designated as open space and are not an organized type of recreational area. There are no farmlands in the immediate area of the industrial park in general and the plant site in particular. There are no scenic views and vistas on the industrial park site as this has been a flat, almost treeless industrial site since it was a stockyard at the turn of the century. 29. What roads will receive increased traffic? (For each road indicate the • current average daily traffic (ADT) and increase in ADT contributed by the project.) Haul routes to the facility would be primarily I-69~ and I-135W, Hwy. 10, and Old Hwy. 8. Highway 8 would provide the direct access to the site. Existing ADTs are shown in Figure 9. The project will generate trips by approximately 40 to 50 trucks and an additional 15 to 20 employee cars. This is not a significant traffic increase Por the haul routes. At present Highway 8 has no signals or turn lanes to specially manage traffic to and from the industrial park. 30. .Are adequate energy sources and utilities now available to service the pro~eet? No X Yes Municipal services and utilities are available on the site. but must be extended to the exact facility location. Project proposers expect to contract with local waste haulers to ensure a reliable waste supply. SUMMARY OF ISSUES The near surface groundwater beneath a portion oP the site has been contami- nated by a previous solvent business. Remedial measures have been agreed on to remove contaminated soils. This is a separate issue which does not appear to be affected by the proposed facility.
