operation may have detrimental effects on the City of
Prior Lake and the Shakopee Mdewakanton sioux Community
also in the City of Prior Lake and located directly
adjacent to and west of the proposed operation as
follows:
(a)
(b)
Land Use the mining operation will produce
substantial dust, noise, and visual pollution that
will compromise the quality of life currently
experienced by the Mdewakanton sioux Community,
negatively affect the character of the surrounding
residential and farming community, and 9reatly
reduce land use options for vacant land l.n the
area.
Traffic - the EAW has not adequately addressed the
affect the volume of traffic will have on area land
use, the problems resulting from assimilating mine
traffic with the ~redominately passenger traffic of
County Road 42, l.nternal mine traffic, regional
mine access, hours of operation, and noise
generated by accelerating trucks. Furthermore, the
EAW inadequately addresses truck and equipment
generated pollution such as dust and vehicle
related air contaminants and fails to provide
prudent design and access alternatives.
