DISCUSSION
Five alternative alignments were developed and evaluated for the reconstruction of TH 101 between
Pioneer Trail (CSAH 14) and Flying Cloud Drive C SAH 61 . This is the ( ) last segment of TH 101
that needs improvement between the City of Shakopee city limits and TH
p y 5. Based on the evaluation
of the alignment alternatives and the stakeholder engagement process, Alternative #3 was selected as
the preferred alignment. This option minimizes environmental impacts an
. p d it has the least total
estimated project cost considering construction, right-of-way and indirect costs. T '
. Y he screening
criteria used for the determination of the preferred alignment included capacity, safety, recreational
trail accommodations, right -of -way impacts, community g rowth environmental ai impacts, costs, and
maintenance factors. Alternative
#3 was the preferred alternative discussed with the '
City Council at
the work session on May 26, 2015.
Alternative #3 does result in the need to acquire five residential home sites including chiding all four on the
Vogelsberg Trail cul -de -sac. Staff has met with the Vogelsberg Trail residents
as a group on three
separate occasions. The potential loss of their homes has been very motional and there have been
concerns raised regarding the timing for the acquisition of their ro ert recognizing p p y� g g that the
construction of the project is not currently funded. The property owner for the oth er home site te that
will be impacted by the project has expressed a willingness to sell their property assuming there is an
agreement on price and terms.
An EAW has been completed for the preferred alignment. Notice of the availability g lability of the EAW
was published in the EQB Monitor on August 2, 2015, and the ublic comment
t p t period closed on
September ember 3, 2015. Nine (9) comments were received during he comment period '
g p od and a Findings of
Fact document has been prepared responding to the comments. Based on the
e criteria in Minnesota
Rules part 4410.1700, the project does not have the otential for significant p g t environmental effects.
The preferred alignment results in the need to acquire right-of-way from t wenty -
one (2 1) separate
parcels. An official map has been prepared to identify the necessary right-of-way way needs for the
proposed improvements. The purpose of the official ma is to the p preserve future right -of- -way
needs. `l�'he adoption of an official map does not give an right, title.. or interest ' r .� ry identified

Due to the significant right -of -way impacts and the uncertainty f the timing g for the construction of

TH 101 Improvements from CSAH 14 (Pioneer Trail) to CSAH 61 (Flying Cloud Drive)
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Based on the information in the record, which is comprised of the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW),
written comments received, responses to comments, and other supporting documents, City of Chanhassen as the
Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU), makes the following Findings of Fact and Conclusion.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLU&CH
1. Administrative Background
City of Chanhassen is the Proposer and Responsible Government Unit (RGU) for the state environmental review of
this project. An Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) has been prepared in accordance with Minnesota
Rules Chapter 4410.100, Subp. 3D. The EAW was mandatory under EQB rule category subpart number 4410.4300
subpart 22B: Highway Projects.
The EAW was filed with Minnesota Environmental Quality Board (EQB) and circulated for review and comment to the
required state EAW distribution list, pursuant to Minnesota Rule Part 4410.1500. The EAW was filed with the EQB on
July 27, 2015. A Notice of EAW Availability was published in the Minnesota EQB Monitor on August 3 2015 which
g ,
initiated the 30 -day comment period. This notice provided a brief description of the project, information on where
copies of the EAW were available, and invited the public to provide comments on the project evaluated in the EAW.
The EAW was made available for public review on the project website, www.ci.chanhassen.mn.us /101 a and at the
following locations:

attended the open house and six people provided written comments. All substantive comments received during the
comment period and at the public open house regarding the adequacy of the EAW were considered in determining
the potential for significant environmental impacts.
2. Existing Conditions
The project location along TH 101 extends from County State Aid Highway (CSAH)14 to CSAH 61 in Chanhassen
and serves as a minor arterial road that offers connectivity to the larger road system. In the project area, TH 101 is
currently atwo -lane undivided roadway without turn lanes. The majority of the land use in the project area is low
density residential, parkland, and undeveloped land. The project area is zoned to protect the current development
patterns of single - family residential and allow limited commercial uses. Bluff Creek Park is near the project area to
the west and the MN River Bluffs LRT Trail lies within the project area, north of Flying Cloud Drive. The total project
area is 80.25 acres of previously developed and undeveloped land.
The corridor has several major safety concerns based on its current design. Steep grades u p to 13 percent) ( ) and
numerous curves along the roadway necessitate warning signs with 15 mph advisory speeds, and difficult travel
conditions are caused by slick pavement during inclement weather. Inadequate sight distances create blind
intersections with roadways, driveways, and a trail crossing. A crash analysis performed as art of the 2007 Corridor

than twice the average for two-lane rural highways. The predominant crash type was "run -off the road," a symptom of
poor sight conditions, tight curves, and undulating terrain throughout the project area. The proposed TH 101
improvements will create safer driving conditions for users of this highway.
3. Proposed Action
City of Chanhassen proposes to reconstruct 1.2 miles of TH 101 between Pioneer Trail (CSAH 14) and Flying Cloud
Drive (CSAH 61). The project includes reconstruction and realignment of TH 101 from a two-lane undivided roadway
to a four-lane divided roadway with turn lanes at key intersections. A paved multi-use trail is proposed along both
sides of TH 101 from Pioneer Trail to Creekwood Drive and along the east side only from Creekwood Drive to CSAH
61. On the south end, the roadway will connect to a new roundabout being constructed as part of a separate project.
Steps completed in the environmental review of the project include:
1. City of Chanhassen submitted the EAW to the EQB on July 27, 2015.
2. A Notice of Availability of the EAW for public comment was published in the EQB Monitor on August 3,
2015, which initiated the thirty-day comment period.
3. The Comment Period closed on September 3, 2015.
4. A public open house was hosted by the City of Chanhassen on August 19, 2015 for public comment on
the EAR

5. Decision regarding the need for an Environmental Impact Statement
An Environmental impact Statement (EIS) is not necessary for the Proposed Action based on the following criteria:
5.1 Type, Extent and Reversibility of Impacts
The EAW describes the type and extent of impacts to the natural and human environment anticipated to result from
the Proposed Action. The proposed design for the project includes design features that avoid, minimize and mitigate
for the identified impacts. A summary of the proposed impacts and mitigation for the project addressed in the EAW is
presented in Table 2.

® Cumulative Potential Effects of Related or Anticipated Future Projects
In accordance with Minnesota Rule part 4410-1700, subpart 7, item B; cumulative potential effects of related or
anticipated future projects were identified and included in Section 19 of the EAW. The primary actions that have
potential for cumulative impacts with this project are those actions that have potential to affect surface waters
(wetlands) and parkland. A number of projects were identified and evaluated in the EAW, however, there were no
potential for cumulative impacts identified as a result of this project in conjunction with other past, present or
reasonably foreseeable future projects.
5.3 Extent to Which the Environmental Effects are Subject to Mitigation by Ongoing
Public Regulatory Authority
There are several federal, state, and local permits required to ensure that specific environmental effects are
mitigated. The mitigation of environmental impacts (as listed in Table 2) will be designed and implemented in
coordination with regulatory agencies, and will be subject to appropriate permitting processes. Permits and approvals
that have been or may be required prior to project construction are summarized in Table 3.

similar projects have been designed and constructed throughout the city. All design and construction staff are very
familiar with the project area. No problems are anticipated that City staff has not encountered and successfully solved
many times previously in similar projects in or near the project area. The City finds that the environmental effects of
the project can be anticipated and controlled as a result of environmental review and experience on similar p ro'1 ects.
6. Conclusions
1. All requirements for environmental review of the proposed project have been met.
2. The EAW and permit processes related to the project have generated information that is sufficient to determine
whether the project has the potential for significant effects.
3. Areas where potential environmental effects have been identified are being addressed during the detail design of
the project. Mitigation will be provided where impacts are expected to result from project construction, operation,
or maintenance. Mitigation measures are incorporated into project design, and have been or will be coordinated
with county and state agencies during the permit process.
4. Based on the criteria in Minnesota Rules part 4410.1700, the project does not have the potential for significant
environmental effects.
Consequently, the City makes a Negative Declaration and does not require the development of an
Environmental Impact Statement for this project.

Re: TH 101 Improvements from CSAH 14 to CSAH 6 Environmental Assessment Worksheet
Dear Mr. Oehrne:
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the Environmental Assessment Worksheet
(EAW) for the TH 101 Improvements from CSAH 14 to CSAH 6 project (Project) located in
Carver County, Minnesota. Regarding matters for which the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
(MPCA) has regulatory responsibility and other interests, the MPCA staff has the following comments for
your consideration.
Traffic
The Project is designed to provide less congested access and improve traffic flow, so increased air
pollution due to increased congestion should not be a problem. However, the EAW does not address
traffic during construction. Traffic flow and access to adjacent development must be maintained
throughout the construction period. The MPCA would like to see a copy of the construction traffic plan
when it is developed. Please contact Amanda Smith at 651-7S7-2486 if you have questions.
We appreciate the opportunity to review this Project. Please provide your specific responses to our
comments and the notice of decision on the need for an Environmental Impact Statement. Please be
aware that this letter does not constitute approval by the MPCA of any or all elements of the Project for
the purpose of pending or future permit action(s) by the MPCA. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the
Project proposer to secure any required permits and to comply with any requisite permit conditions. If
you have any questions concerning our review of this EAW, please contact me at 651-757-2482.

Subject: TH 101 Improvements EAW -DNR comments
Mr. Oehme,
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has reviewed the EAW for the TH 101 Improvement
project. We submit the following comments for your consideration.
Item 13® Fish, wildlife, plant communities, and sensitive ecological resources (rare features)
® Item 13b incorrectly states that no native plant communities are located adjacent or kniithin the
project study area. Figure 4, however, shows that a Site of High Biodiversity Significance is not only
within the study area but within the construction limits of the project. Sites of Biodiversity
Significance have varying levels of native Biodiversity and are ranked based on the relative
significance of this Biodiversity at a statewide level. Sites ranked as High contain very good quality
occurrences of the rarest species, high quality examples of the rare native plant communities,
1
and/or important portant functional landscapes. Within this Site of High Biodiversity Significance and within
the construction limits, the Minnesota Biological Survey identified a Red Oak — Sugar Maple —
Basswood — (Bitternut Hickory) Forest, a rare native plant community that is vulnerable to
extirpation within Minnesota. The condition of this native plant community is not ranked but the
ecologist notes from 1995 state that the forest on the north /northeast slopes had excellent species
diversity though the far southeast end was disturbed by past grazing. The EAW should discuss the
impacts that will occur to this rare native plant community (and the Site of High Biodiversity
Significance) and identify measures that will be taken to avoid or minimize disturbance.
® Actions to minimize disturbance may include, but are not limited to, the following
recommendations:
➢ Confine construction activities to the opposite side of the road from the Sites of
2 Biodiversity. If this is not feasible, confine construction activities to the existing
road rights -of -way;
As much as possible, operate within already- disturbed areas;
3� Minimize vehicular disturbance in the area (allow only vehicles/equipment necessary
for construction activities);
J� Do not park equipment or stockpile supplies in the area;
Do not place spoil outside the existing right-of way;
]�
Inspect and clean all equipment prior to bringing itto the site to prevent the
introduction and spread of invasive species;
J�
Use effective erosion prevention and sediment control measures;
Revegetate disturbed soil with native species suitable to the local habitat as soon
after construction espossible;
]�
Use only weed-free mulches, topsoils, and seed mixes. Of particular concern are
birdsfoottrefoi| (Lotus corniculatus) and crown vetch (Coron/lla vorio), two invasive
species that are sold commercially and are problematic in prairies and disturbed
open areas, such as roadsides;
Ideally, do not bring in topsoil to this site, as this introduces invasive species; and

Dear Mr. Oehme:
Thank you for the opportunity to review the TH 101 Improvements EAW. Please note that MnDOT's
review of this EAW does not constitute approval of a regional traffic analysis and is not a specific
approval for access or new roadway improvements. As plans are refined, we would like the opportunity to
meet with our partners and to review the updated information. MnDOT's staff has reviewed the
document and has the following comments:
Design:
Due to the early nature of the plans it is unclear what the design speed will be. Any subsequent plans
should include this information.
1 If the 1:3 slopes become fill slopes, a guardrail may be required.
In addition, the typical section depicted south of Creekwood Drive includes a 4' wide median. This is not
wide enough to place signs on.

Air Quality — Criteria Pollutants to address MnDOT's comment from TH 101 EAW
Motorized vehicles affect air quality by emitting airborne pollutants. Changes in traffic volumes, travel patterns,
and roadway locations affect air quality by changing the number of vehicles in an area and the congestion levels.
The air quality impacts from the project are analyzed by addressing criteria pollutants, a group of common air
pollutants regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on the basis of criteria (information on health
and /or environmental effects of pollution). The criteria pollutants identified by the EPA are ozone, particulate
matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, lead, and sulfur dioxide. Potential impacts resulting from these
pollutants are assessed by comparing projected concentrations to National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS). In addition to the criteria air pollutants, the EPA also regulates air toxics.
Ozone
Ground -level ozone is a primary constituent of smog and is a pollution problem throughout many areas of the
United States. Exposures to ozone can make people more susceptible to respiratory infection, result in lung
ih�fnrvnrvl�ir. a
___J ....., . ....1 �� �' 1. - - - 1 .1
11 11101 11 iduvr 1, di lu dyy[dvdLe preexisting respiratory diseases such as asthma. Ozone is not emitted directly from
vehicles but is formed as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) react in the presence of
sunlight. Transportation sources emit NOx and VOCs and can therefore affect ozone concentrations. However,
due to the phenomenon of atmospheric formation of ozone from chemical precursors, concentrations are not
expected to be elevated near a particular roadway.
The MPCA, in cooperation with various other agencies, industries, and groups, has encouraged voluntary control
measures for ozone and has begun developing a regional ozone modeling effort. Ozone concentrations in the
lower atmosphere are influenced by a complex relationship of precursor concentrations, meteorological
conditions, and regional influences on background concentrations. MPCA states in Air Quality in Minnesota: 2013
Report to the Legislature (January 2013) that:
All areas of Minnesota currently meet the federal ambient 3 -hour standard for ozone but Minnesota
is at risk for being out of compliance. In 2003, EPA tightened the federal eight -hour ambient air
standard for ozone to 75 parts per billion (ppb). EPA plans to propose a revised ozone standard in
September 2013, with a final standard planned for 2014. Preliminary documents indicate that EPA
believes the scientific evidence on the health impacts of ozone shows that the current ambient
standard is insufficient to protect public health. EPA's Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee has
recommended that a new ambient standard be set in the range of 60 -70 ppb to ensure public
health protection with an adequate margin of safety. In 2010, EPA proposed a revised ozone
standard in the range of 60 -70 ppb but withdrew the proposal in fall 2011. Many areas of
Minnesota would not meet the revised standard if the EPA sets the standard at the lowest end of
the advisory committee's recommended range.
Additionally, the State of Minnesota is classified by the EPA as an "ozone attainment area," which means that
Minnesota has been identified as a geographic area that meets the national health -based standards for ozone
levels. Because of these factors, a quantitative ozone analysis was not conducted for this project.
Particulate Matter
Particulate matter (PM) is the term for particles and liquid droplets suspended in the air. Particles come in a wide
variety of sizes and have been historically assessed based on size, typically measured by the diameter of the
particle in micrometers. PM2.5 or fine particulate matter refers to particles that are 2.5 micrometers or less in
diameter. PMio refers to particulate matter that is 10 micrometers or less in diameter.
Motor vehicles (i.e., cars, trucks, and buses) emit direct PM from their tailpipes, as well as from normal brake and
tire wear. Vehicle dust from paved and unpaved roads may be re- entrained, or re- suspended, in the atmosphere.
In addition, PM2.5 can be formed in the atmosphere from gases such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and
volatile organic compounds. PM2.5 can penetrate the human respiratory system's natural defenses and damage
the respiratory tract when inhaled. Numerous scientific studies have linked particle pollution exposure to a variety
of problems, including:
Increased respiratory symptoms, such as irritation of the airways, coughing, or difficulty breathing for
example;
Decreased lung function;
Aggravated asthma;
• Development of chronic bronchitis;
• Irregular heartbeat;
• Nonfatal heart attacks; and
• Premature death in people with heart or lung disease.
(Source: http.,Ilwww.epa.govlairlparticleoollutionlheaft
On December 14, 2012, the EPA issued a final rule revising the annual health NAAQS for fine particles (PM2.5).
The EPA website states:
With regard to primary (health-based) standards for fine particles (generally referring to particles
less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers (mm) in diameter, PM2.5), the EPA is strengthening the
annual PM2.5 standard by lowering the level to 12.0 micrograms per cubic meter (lug /m3). The
existing annual standard, 15.0 ijgIM3, was set In 1997 The EPA is revising the annual PM2.5
standard to 12.0 erg /m3 so as to provide increased protection against health effects associated with
long- and short-term exposures (including premature mortality, increased hospital admissions and
emergency department visits, and development of chronic respiratory disease), and to retain the
24-hour PM2.5 standard at a level of 35 tag /m3 (the EPA issued the 24-hour standard in 2006). The
EPA is revising the Air Quality Index (AQI) for PM2.5 to be consistent with the revised primary PM2.5
standards.
(Source: htto.11www.epa.,qovll)mlactions.htmI
The agency also retained the existing standards for coarse particle pollution (PM1o). The NAAQS 24-hour
standard for PM10 is 150 pg / M3, which is not to be exceeded more than once per year on average over three
years.
The Clean Air Act conformity requirements include the assessment of localized air quality impacts of federally-
funded or federally- approved transportation projects that are deemed to be projects of air quality concern located
within PM2.5nonaffainment and maintenance areas. This project is not considered one of air quality concern. This
is supported, in part, by the designation of the State of Minnesota as an unclassifiable/ attainment area for PM.
This means that Minnesota has been identified as a geographic area that meets or exceeds the national
standards for the reduction of PM levels, and therefore is exempt from performing PIVI qualitative hot-spot
analyses.
Nitrogen Dioxide. (Nitrogen ny
Nitrogen oxides, or NOx, are the generic term for a group of highly reactive gases, all of which contain nitrogen
and oxygen in varying amounts. Nitrogen oxides form when fuel is burned at high temperatures, as in a
combustion process. The primary sources of NOx are motor vehicles, electric utilities, and other industrial,
commercial, and residential sources that burn fuels. The MPCA's Air Quality in Minnesota: 2013 Report to the
Legislature (January 2013) indicates that:
On road gasoline vehicles and diesel vehicles account for 44% of NOx emissions in Minnesota. In
additions to being a precursor to ozone, NOx can worsen respiratory irritation, and increase risk of
premature death from heart or lung disease.
Minnesota currently meets federal nitrogen dioxide standards, as shown in Exhibit 1 from 2013 Annual Air
Monitoring Network Plan (July 2012). This document states: "A monitoring site meets the annual NAAQS for NO2
if the annual average is less than or equal to 53 ppb. The 2011 Minnesota averages ranged from 5 ppb at FHR
423 to 9 ppb at FHR 420; therefore, Minnesota currently meets the annual NAAQS for NO2."

The EPA's regulatory announcement, EPA420 -F -99 -051 (December 1999), describes the Tier 2 standards for
tailpipe emissions, and states:
The new tailpipe standards are set at an average standard of 0.07 grams per mile for nitrogen
oxides for all classes of passenger vehicles beginning in 2004. This includes all light -duty trucks,
as well as the largest SUVs. Vehicles weighing less than 6000 pounds will be phased -in to this
standard between 2004 and 2007.
As newer, cleaner cars enter the national fleet, the new tailpipe standards will significantly reduce
emissions of nitrogen oxides from vehicles by about 74 percent by 2030. The standards also will
reduce emissions by more than 2 million tons per year by 2020 and nearly 3 million tons annually
by 2030.
Within the project area, it is unlikely that NO2 standards will be approached or exceeded based on the relatively
low ambient concentrations of NO2 in Minnesota and on the long -term trend toward reduction of NOX emissions.
Because of these factors, a specific analysis of NO2 was not conducted for this project.
Sulfur Dioxide
Sulfur dioxide (S02) and other sulfur oxide gases (SOX) are formed when fuel containing sulfur, such as coal, oil,
and diesel fuel is burned. Sulfur dioxide is a heavy, pungent, colorless gas. Elevated levels can impair breathing,
lead to other respiratory symptoms, and at very high levels aggravate heart disease. People with asthma are most
at risk when S02 levels increase. Once emitted into the atmosphere, S02 can be further oxidized to sulfuric acid, a
component of acid rain.
MPCA monitoring shows that ambient S02 concentrations were at 32 percent of federal standards in 2011, in
other words consistently below state and federal standards. (Source: Air Quality in Minnesota: 2013 Report to the
Legislature, January 2013.) MPCA also states that about 70 percent of S02 released into the air comes from
electric power generation. Therefore a much smaller proportion is attributable to on -road mobile sources. The
MPCA has concluded that long -term trends in both ambient air concentrations and total S02 emissions in
Minnesota indicate steady improvement.
In the "Annual Air Monitoring Network Plan for Minnesota, 2013 ", it states the following with regard to S02:
On June 2, 2010, the EPA finalized revisions to the primary S02 NAAQS. EPA established a new
1 -hour standard which is met if the three-year average of the annual 99th percentile daily maximum
1 -hour S02 concentration is less than 75 ppb. In addition to creating the new 1 -hour standard, the
EPA revoked the existing 24 -hour and annual standards. Exhibit 2 describes the 2009 -2011
average 99th percentile 1 -hour S02 concentration and compares them to the 1 -hour standard.
Minnesota averages ranged from 2 ppb at FHR 442 and FHR 443 to 24 ppb in Minneapolis (954);
therefore, all Minnesota sites currently meet the 1 -hour NAA QS for S02.
Exhibit 2:1 -hour S02 concentrations compared to the NAAQS
* The monitoring site did not meet the minimum completeness criteria for design value calculations. A site meets
the completeness requirement if 75% of required sampling days are valid for each calendar quarter included in the
design value calculation. S02 at Duluth was part of a one year assessment and not intended to collect 3 years of
data for design value calculations.
Emissions of sulfur oxides from transportation sources are a small component of overall emissions and continue
to decline due to the desulphurization of fuels. Additionally, the project area is classified by the EPA as a "sulfur
dioxide attainment area," which means that the project area has been identified as a geographic area that meets
the national health-based standards for sulfur dioxide levels. Because of these factors, a quantitative analysis for
sulfur dioxide was not conducted for this project.
Lead
Due to the phase out of leaded gasoline, lead is no longer a pollutant associated with vehicular emissions.
Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) is the traffic- related pollutant that has been of concern in the Twin Cities Metropolitan
area. In 1999, the EPA re- designated all of Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka, and portions of Carver, Scott, Dakota,
Washington, and Wright counties as a maintenance area for CO. This means the area was previously
classified as a nonattainment area but has now been found to be in attainment. This area includes the
project area, which is located in Hennepin County. Evaluation of CO for assessment of air quality impacts is
required for environmental approval in NEPA documents.
Air Quality Conformity
The EPA issued final rules on transportation conformity (40 CFR 93, Subpart A) which describe the methods
required to demonstrate State Implementation Plan (SIP) compliance for transportation projects. It requires that
transportation projects meeting criteria to be classified as regionally significant be included in a regional
emissions analysis approved a s part of a conforming Long Range Transportation Policy Plan (LRTPP) and
four -year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). This project is not included in the current TIP,
however at such time it is added, a conformity analysis will be completed to demonstrate compliance with the SIP.
On November 8, 2010, the EPA approved a limited maintenance plan request for the Twin Cities maintenance
area. Under a limited maintenance plan, the EPA has determined that there is no requirement to project
emissions over the maintenance period and that "an emission budget may be treated as essentially not
constraining for the length of the maintenance period. The reason is that it is unreasonable to expect that our
maintenance area will experience so much growth within this period that a violation of CO National Ambient Air
Quality Standard (NAAQS) would result." (US EPA Limited Maintenance Plan Option for Nonclassifiable CO
Nonattainment Areas, October 6, 1995) Therefore, no regional modeling analysis for the LRTPP and TIP is
required; however federally funded and state funded projects are still subject to "hot- spot" analysis requirements.
The limited maintenance plan adopted in 2010 determines that the level of CO emissions and resulting ambient
concentrations will continue to demonstrate attainment of the CO NAAQS.
Hot-Spot Analysis
CO evaluation is performed by evaluating the worst - operating (hot -spot) intersections in the project area. The EPA

screening method uses a traffic volume threshold of 79,400 entering vehicle per day. Entering traffic volumes at
all intersections in the project area are forecast to be less than this threshold, as shown in Table . The results of
the screening procedure reveal that the intersections do not require hot -spot analysis.

Improvements in vehicle technology and in motor fuel continue 1oresult in reductions invehicle
emission rates. The EPA MOVES 201 O emissions model estimates that emission rates will continue to fall from
existing rates through year 2O35. Consequently, year 2O35 vehicle-related CO concentrations in the study area
are likely to be lower than existing concentrations even considering the increase in development-related and
background traffic.
Mobile Source Air Toxicm Discussion to address MnDOTcomment
A qualitative analysis provides abamis for identifying and comparing the potential differences among MGAT
emissions, if any, from the various alternatives. The qualitative assessment presented below is derived in part
from o study conducted bv the FHVVA entitled A Methodology for Evaluating Mobile Source Air Toxic
Emissions Among Transportation Project A found at:
For each alternative in this EA, the amount of MSAT emitted would be proportional to the average daily traffic on
project roadways, orADT, assuming that other variables such as fleet mix are the same for each alternative. The

increase in AOT compared to the No Build Alternative. This increase in ADTwnu|d lead to higher MS/A'
emissions for the preferred action alternative along the highway corridor, along with a corresponding decrease in
MSAT emissions along the parallel routes. The emissions increase is offset somewhat by lower MSAT emission
rates due to increased speeds; according to EPA's MOVES201 Ob model, emissions of all of the priority M8AT
decrease ae speed increases. Also, regardless of the alternative chosen, emissions will likely be lower than
present levels in the design year aaa result of EPA's national control programs that are projected boredume

Subject: Please read before the vote on #101 !!!!
A message from the Vogelsberg house owners :
We (our neighborhood) would like to express our non compliance with the plan you submitted. As you know the
neighbors are retired other then Kevin and myself. This has taken a huge downward trend in health for us. I had a
nervous breakdown in Feb after hearing your plan.( After the loss of my Mother to old age ... then my son to death
by suicide and my children's father from cancer in the last two years.)The plan you presented us that took our 4
houses was the last straw for me. How much do you think people can take ??
Others are lucky with medical care to even be still alive. These are all our dream homes. How do you replace our
setting ? ?? Our setting is not replaceable........ One of us built the home by hand over 30 years and is not able to do
it again due to age and current health. This has taken the peace from our surrounds to see in our minds eye that
these amazing homes will be destroyed. The stress of situation when we do not want to is not - measurable. I am
being watched very carefully and I am under Med. Care. I have lost 30 pounds and look like I have come from a
considerations camp. How do we discuss this? When my Mom passed ...I had no physical body to express my
sadness to. Same with my son and their birth father. You and the others on the other end of this are the only
people who are here and I can tell you how this is effecting me and the others ... the people in the neighborhood I
am close to... as close as family. I am watching them struggle so. I am not just sad for me but for all of us! Andrea(
up the hill from us) loves the plan! But others are broken over it. I want the people in these emails you to hear
this. Please reconsider your plan to destroy for us what is irreplaceable. Colleen Jensen /Kevin Nielsen. 740

from project construction, operation, or maintenance. Mitigation measures are incorporated into J
