e. Surface water will be directed to the on -site retention system ,
and released into a natural channel which runs westerly along the
sites northern boundary. This channel releases into a natural wet +
area (swamp) situated in the southern end of Pine Ridge Park, about
85' northeast of the site.

Due to the incorporation of automobiles on the site, surface water
can be expected to become contaminated with petroleum by-products .=
prior to leaving this site. An oil separator incorporated within the �~
retention system can be expected to reduce pollutant levels. {

(4), Flora {{
i
a. Clearing activity, necessary for road installation, building
S
areas and associated parking will reduce numbers of flora present. I
.
This amounts to some .4 acres removed.
i�
c. Through landscaping, new species of flora may be introduced
which are not native to the site.

(5) Fauna
s
a, C. d. The introduction of construction equipment and resultant {
use for clearing necessary for proper grade transition, drainage, and }
foundation stability will reduce habitat and lessen the desirability ;.
(by site fauna) of the site as habitat. The introduction of domestic
pets and human population (along with the previous activity) may }
further hinder the re-establishment of native animal population. {
Animals displaced from the site would eventually be eliminated I
through competitive exclusion. Species that -can withstand the change
of habitat or are suited to the new development would survive in
reduced numbers. tr
(6) Noise
Noise levels would be intermittently high throughout construction, ;
but should be limited to normal waking hours. After construction -
residential activity and traffic noise created by approximately 80°
average daily vehicular trips would increase ambient noise levels.
This increase can be expected to have no signicant impact.
(7) Light and Glare {.
The introduction of streetlights, automobiles, home lighting, etc.
will produce new light and add new reflective surfaces which produce �.
glare. The on -site vegetation is expected to partially mitigate
these effects of development.
