Corley Redfoot Zack, Inc . January, 2006 <br />Partnership Academy Alternative School <br />8 Air Ouali!y: <br />The project will generate small quantities of fugitive dust and emissions from the <br />construction equipment, These minor and transitory sources are expected to have no <br />impact on offsite air quality. Open burning is not permitted. <br />9. Noise Levels: <br />The primary sources of noise in the project's vicinity are suburban highway noises <br />and the sounds from the adjacent middle school. The project will not substantially <br />increase noise levels on adjacent property. Noise levels at the project's boundaries are <br />minimized by the large undisturbed natural buffers to the Northeast and West of the <br />property. <br />10. Water Resources: <br />Although there are no water resources within the new sitework, construction activities <br />may indirectly impact water resources located downstream. Impacts to the tributary <br />to Stony Creek will be minimized by utilizing Best Management Practices for <br />protection of surface water and erosion control features shown on the construction <br />plan. Strict erosion and sedimintation controls must be maintained during <br />construction of the project. , <br />Permanent construction impacts include reduced infiltration and increased runoff as a <br />result of additional areas of impervious surface, as well as soil compaction from <br />construction activities. The use of engineered post- construction Best Management <br />Practices and landscaping will minimize this permanent impact. Best Management <br />Practices used on this project include bioretention areas, grass swales and level <br />spreaders, etc. (see Exhibit #4), <br />11. Forest Resources: Forest resources will not be significantly impacted by this project <br />due to the limited area of disturbance, i.e., only 1.4 acres out of the 20.8 acre site. <br />12. Shellfish or Fish and Their Habitats: <br />Shellfish or fish habitats will not be impacted directly. <br />13. Wildlife and Natural Vegetation: <br />There will be no effects on federally protected, threatened or endangered species, or <br />on federal species of concern. <br />14. Introduction of Toxic Substances: <br />No toxic substances will be introduced by the construction activities on the project.. <br />F. Mitigative Measures: <br />Water Resources: <br />During construction of the facilities, minor silt runoff is anticipated; however, the <br />runoff will be mitigated through the use of an approved Sediment Erosion Control <br />Plan. Both the quality and quantity of post - construction stormwater runoff resulting <br />7 <br />41 <br />
