All publications, file reports, manuscripts or other written sources of information which were first consulted and employed in compilation of the environmental impact statement shall be listed. A list of all agencies and individuals from whom all pertinent information was obtained orally or by letter shall be listed separately. Dates and locations of all meetings shall be specified.

Distribution of statement. Four copies shall be submitted to the Department of Planning and Zoning for distribution to the following:

The impact on existing road systems generated by land development necessitates a comprehensive analysis of the variety of problems that may result and the actions that can be taken to minimize the problems. All preliminary major subdivision applications resulting in the generation of more than 10 lots and/or all preliminary major site plan applications shall be accompanied by a traffic impact statement unless specifically waived by the Board. Any application for subdivision approval where less than 10 lots are involved and all applications for minor site plan approval shall not require a traffic impact statement unless specifically requested by the Board.

The Board may waive the requirement for a traffic impact statement totally or partially only if sufficient evidence is submitted to the Board indicating that the proposed project will have a negligible traffic impact, or, alternatively, that a complete report need not be prepared and submitted in order to evaluate adequately the specific traffic impact to be generated by the proposed development. The burden of demonstrating the exceptions shall rest, at all times, with the applicant who must affirmatively demonstrate to the Board the basis for a waiver request.

A summary of ambient air quality in the vicinity of the facility, expressed in terms of levels of sulfur dioxide, particulates and carbon monoxide concentrations, compared with all applicable ambient air quality standards. This data may be obtained from on-site monitoring or, upon approval of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Environmental Quality, from the nearest New Jersey State monitoring site.

Projects of traffic to be generated by the proposed development for average daily, morning peak hour(s), afternoon peak hour(s) and any other peak traffic condition deemed applicable as a result of the type and/or location of the proposed generator. Traffic generation rates should be based upon local indices, where applicable, or rates promulgated by the Institute of Transportation Engineers, where local indices are not available. All rates should be documented in the report. Also, the method and data upon which traffic approach route distributions are based shall be fully documented. Any assumptions regarding the diversion of existing traffic to alternative routes should be clearly specified in the report.

The report shall contain documentation of existing conditions on adjacent streets serving immediate site access/egress, including roadway pavement width, rights-of-way, curb parking conditions, site visibility, grade and curvatures of roadway and traffic control devices. Existing traffic volumes or average daily and peak hour conditions shall be presented with the source of data denoted.

Assessment of the traffic impact of the proposed development, including estimates of levels of services, shall be provided. In preparing these estimates, assumptions regarding the annual growth rate of existing traffic should be fully documented for a period of 10 years. Capacity determination shall be based upon normally accepted standards, with the basis of these estimates clearly indicated. All substantial applications for development in Waterford Township and neighboring municipalities, which have recently been built, are under construction, have been approved for construction, or are being considered for approval, shall be factored in the analysis. In the event the project is staged over a period of time, independent estimates for each stage shall be provided.

In the event that roadway deficiencies are identified for existing and/or future conditions, specific recommendations for the resolution of these problems shall be addressed in the report. The report shall contain a listing of any and all actions to be taken by the applicant to resolve or minimize traffic problems and, as such, shall be considered a firm offer by the applicant to take such actions subject to Board approval.

A description of parking facilities, including locations, number of parking spaces, number of parking levels, and whether the parking area is to be open or covered.

An analysis of emissions from space heating, including:

An analysis of motor vehicle emissions to be generated by the proposed development and, where appropriate, by growth induced by the proposed development based on annual average daily traffic and space heating emissions expressed as tons per day of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, and particulates. The latest data available from the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Publication AP-42, Compilation of Air Pollution Emission Factors, is to be used to calculate emissions if more definitive information is not available.

An analysis of the effect of carbon monoxide emissions on air quality, including anticipated carbon monoxide concentrations compared with ambient air quality standards and with concentrations in the absence of the proposed development at places of maximum concentration and at critical locations, including monitoring sites and sensitive receptors such as hospitals, schools, nursing homes, residences and playgrounds. This analysis should be prepared pursuant to the procedures established in the United States Environmental Protection Agency's publications Guidelines for Air Quality, Maintenance, Planning and Analysis, Volume 9: Evaluating Indirect Sources, Publication No. EPA-450/4-750-001 OAQPS No. 1.2-028, or equivalent procedure.

An analysis of the availability of public transportation and, for housing projects, the accessibility, including distance, safety and convenience of route, by automobile and by other modes of transportation of the following facilities:

A description of measures taken in planning the proposed development which are intended to reduce vehicle miles traveled, including, but not limited to, those measures described in the United States Environmental Protection Agency's publication Guidelines for Air Quality Maintenance, Planning and Analysis, Volume 3: Control Strategies (Chapter II, Section E) Publication No. EPA-450/4-74-003 (OAQPS No. 1.2-002) and in Section 108(f)(i)(A) of the Clean Air Act Amendment of 1977, 43 U.S.C. § 7410.

A description of measures taken in planning the proposed development which are intended to reduce emissions from the completed development in accordance with the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Act, N.J.S.A. 4:24-39 et seq. Applicable standards for dust control are available in the N.J. Department of Agriculture's publication Standards for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control in New Jersey.
