§ 201-3. Contents of statement.

The environmental impact statement shall include a response to the following items pertaining to a proposed development or proposal:

A. 

Soil types.

(1) 

United States Department of Agriculture soil types (shown on map).

(2) 

Permeability of soil on site.

(3) 

Rate of percolation of water through the soil with one test for each five acres or less.

B. 

Surface water drainage.

(1) 

Considerations.

(a) 

Key map showing location and distance from site to nearest stream.

(b) 

Rate of runoff from the site before and after development.

(c) 

Destination of runoff water and method of controlling downstream effects.

(d) 

Submission of an erosion and sediment control plan.

(2) 

Special attention shall be given to proper site surface drainage so that removal of surface water will not adversely affect neighboring properties or the public storm drainage system. Stormwater shall be removed from all paved areas and carried away in an efficient and approved manner so that it will not obstruct the flow of vehicles or pedestrian traffic and will not create puddles in paved areas.

C. 

Ground cover, including trees.

(1) 

Considerations.

(a) 

Extent of existing impervious ground cover on the site.

(b) 

Extent of proposed impervious ground cover on the site.

(c) 

Extent of existing vegetative cover on the site.

(d) 

Extent of proposed vegetative cover on the site.

(2) 

The landscape shall be preserved in its natural state, insofar as practicable, by minimizing tree and soil removal.

D. 

Topography. The statement shall furnish a plan showing existing and proposed contours of the entire site and adjacent sites which may affect the project site. Any grade changes shall be in keeping with the general appearance of neighboring developed areas.

E. 

Groundwater.

(1) 

Average depth to seasonal high-water table.

(2) 

Minimum depth to water table on site.

(3) 

Maximum depth to water table on site.

F. 

Water supply.

(1) 

The source and adequacy of the potable water system to be provided to the site.

(2) 

The expected daily water requirements for the site.

G. 

Sewerage system.

(1) 

Sanitary sewer system (description and location of system on the site).

(2) 

Expected contents of the sewage effluent (human waste, pesticides, detergents, oils, heavy metals, other chemicals, etc.).

(3) 

Expected daily volume of sewage.

(4) 

Effect on sewage treatment plant's present capacity and authorized capacity.

H. 

Solid waste.

(1) 

Estimated quantity of solid waste to be developed on the site during and after construction.

(2) 

Method of disposal of solid waste during and after construction.

(3) 

Plans for recycling of solid waste during and after construction.

I. 

Air quality.

(1) 

Expected changes in air quality due to activities at the site during and after construction.

(2) 

Plans for control of emissions affecting air quality.

J. 

Noise.

(1) 

Noise levels, above existing levels, expected to be generated at the site (source and magnitude in decibels) during and after construction.

(2) 

Proposed method for control of possible additional noise on site during and after construction.

K. 

Impact of proposed action applied for.

(1) 

Effects on drainage and runoff.

(2) 

Effects on groundwater quality.

(3) 

Effects on situation of surface waters.

(4) 

Effects on surface water quality.

L. 

A statement of impact upon critical areas and of adverse impacts which cannot be avoided.

M. 

Environmental protective measures, procedures and schedules to minimize damage to critical impact areas during and after development and/or construction.

N. 

A list of all licenses, permits and other approvals required by municipal, county or state law and the status of each.

O. 

A listing of steps proposed to minimize environmental damage to the site and region during construction and/or development and operation.
