TY - RPRT T1 - MISSOURI RIVER COMMERCIAL DREDGING, KANSAS CITY, CENTRAL MISSOURI, AND GREATER ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI. [Part 9 of 44] T2 - MISSOURI RIVER COMMERCIAL DREDGING, KANSAS CITY, CENTRAL MISSOURI, AND GREATER ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI. AN - 873133612; 14806-0_0009 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of permits for commercial dredging of sand and gravel from approximately 390 miles of the Missouri River that extends from its confluence with the Mississippi River to near Rulo, Nebraska is proposed. Dredging activities have occurred on the lower Missouri River (LOMR) for the past 100 years, and previous dredging permits have been authorized for five-year periods. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Kansas City District has determined that substantial river bed degradation has occurred in portions of the LOMR and that the reaches of the river most degraded coincide with areas where commercial sand and gravel dredging has been greatest. Key issues identified during scoping include: the geomorphology of the river, including bed degradation and changes in water surface levels; effects of geomorphology on infrastructure and water supplies; economic effects of changing costs for commercial sand and gravel; impacts on the ecosystem and protected species; and recreation. The proposed action is: reauthorization by the USACE of eight existing dredging permits to six applicants; authorization of three additional proposed dredging permits; and authorization of any as yet unforeseen proposed dredging permits. Together, the dredgers propose being permitted to dredge up to 11.6 million tons of sand and gravel from the LOMR annually. Average annual dredging from the LOMR from 2004 to 2008 was 6.9 million tons. Two of the applicants propose constructing onshore sand plants to support the proposed dredging operations. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative and three action alternatives. Under the No Action Alternative, current commercial dredging permits would expire on the extended expiration date of March 31, 2011. Alternatives A, B, and C would set allowable commercial dredging at 2.2 million tons per year, 5.1 million tons per year, and 6.9 million tons per year, respectively. The environmentally preferred alternative is a composite alternative that would include implementation of Alternative B on the St. Joseph and Waverly segments, Alternative C on the Jefferson City and St. Charles segments, and Alternative A on the Kansas City segment. The total allowable combined dredging amount would be 5.8 million tons per year. As part of the environmentally preferred alternative, it is recommended that low flow water surface elevation data should be collected every year and hydroacoustic bed elevation data surveys should be conducted every five years for the lower 498 miles of the LOMR. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Continued commercial dredging would provide the essential sand and gravel components of construction materials, which are integral to the economy of the region that encompasses St. Joseph, greater Kansas City, central Missouri, and greater St. Louis. Implementation of the environmentally preferred alternative should balance the various public interests, including the need for aggregate and the need for a stable river system providing other services including water supply. The allowable levels of dredging with associated restrictions are anticipated to result in no more than slight river bed degradation in the near term and long term. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approval of dredging activities as proposed would likely result in continued, and in some cases substantial, river bed degradation with consequent changes in water surface elevations in the LOMR, including portions of the river at Kansas City, Jefferson City, and St. Charles. Dredging activities would have direct impact on aquatic habitat and benthic substrate. Increased injury or mortality to pallid sturgeon eggs, larvae, or juveniles could occur. Denial of all permit applications would likely result in negative socioeconomic impacts to communities along the river. Under the more restrictive alternatives, production of sand and gravel from alternate sources would need to increase in order to offset the reduced supplies from the LOMR.

To determine this acceleration, we analyze monthly-averaged records for 57 U.S. tide gauges in the Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level (PSMSL) data base that have lengths of 60--156 years. Least-squares quadratic analysis of each of the 57 records are performed to quantify accelerations, and 25 gauge records having data spanning from 1930 to 2010 are analyzed. In both cases we obtain small average sea-level decelerations. To compare these results with worldwide data, we extend the analysis of Douglas (1992) by an additional 25 years and analyze revised data of Church and White (2006) from 1930 to 2007 and also obtain small sea-level decelerations similar to those we obtain from U.S. gauge records.

AN - 873129296; 14794-8_0029 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of Interstate 94 (I-94) from 124th Street to 70th Street and the US Highway 45/I-894 corridor from Lincoln Avenue to Burleigh Street in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin is proposed. The study area encompasses the Zoo Interchange and its four approaches, referred to as the east, west, north, and south legs. The west terminus of the project is 124th Street, and the east terminus is 70th Street, a distance of about 3.5 miles. The south terminus is Lincoln Avenue, and the north terminus is Burleigh Street, a distance of about 5.5 miles. The scope of the project includes rebuilding the mainline roadway and bridges; modifying interchange access to improve safety and traffic flow; reconstructing POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reconstruction would maintain a key link in the local, state, and national transportation network; address the obsolete design of the study-area freeway system to improve safety; replace deteriorating pavement and bridges; and accommodate future traffic volumes at an acceptable level of service. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: New right-of-way, totaling 55 to 74 acres within the study area, would need to be acquired. Acquisition of six to 31 residences would be required to implement the 6-lane Modernization Alternative, six to 32 residences would be needed for the 8-lane Modernization Alternative, and eight residences and three businesses would be needed for the Reduced Impacts Alternative. The adjacent arterials component would require acquisition of one commercial building containing two businesses. Bridge removal and construction of a new bridge could harm Butler's garter snakes. In some areas, design year noise levels could increase by as much as 14 decibels over existing levels.

AN - 873129185; 14794-8_0008 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of Interstate 94 (I-94) from 124th Street to 70th Street and the US Highway 45/I-894 corridor from Lincoln Avenue to Burleigh Street in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin is proposed. The study area encompasses the Zoo Interchange and its four approaches, referred to as the east, west, north, and south legs. The west terminus of the project is 124th Street, and the east terminus is 70th Street, a distance of about 3.5 miles. The south terminus is Lincoln Avenue, and the north terminus is Burleigh Street, a distance of about 5.5 miles. The scope of the project includes rebuilding the mainline roadway and bridges; modifying interchange access to improve safety and traffic flow; reconstructing POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reconstruction would maintain a key link in the local, state, and national transportation network; address the obsolete design of the study-area freeway system to improve safety; replace deteriorating pavement and bridges; and accommodate future traffic volumes at an acceptable level of service. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: New right-of-way, totaling 55 to 74 acres within the study area, would need to be acquired. Acquisition of six to 31 residences would be required to implement the 6-lane Modernization Alternative, six to 32 residences would be needed for the 8-lane Modernization Alternative, and eight residences and three businesses would be needed for the Reduced Impacts Alternative. The adjacent arterials component would require acquisition of one commercial building containing two businesses. Bridge removal and construction of a new bridge could harm Butler's garter snakes. In some areas, design year noise levels could increase by as much as 14 decibels over existing levels.

AN - 873128295; 14794-8_0013 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of Interstate 94 (I-94) from 124th Street to 70th Street and the US Highway 45/I-894 corridor from Lincoln Avenue to Burleigh Street in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin is proposed. The study area encompasses the Zoo Interchange and its four approaches, referred to as the east, west, north, and south legs. The west terminus of the project is 124th Street, and the east terminus is 70th Street, a distance of about 3.5 miles. The south terminus is Lincoln Avenue, and the north terminus is Burleigh Street, a distance of about 5.5 miles. The scope of the project includes rebuilding the mainline roadway and bridges; modifying interchange access to improve safety and traffic flow; reconstructing POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reconstruction would maintain a key link in the local, state, and national transportation network; address the obsolete design of the study-area freeway system to improve safety; replace deteriorating pavement and bridges; and accommodate future traffic volumes at an acceptable level of service. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: New right-of-way, totaling 55 to 74 acres within the study area, would need to be acquired. Acquisition of six to 31 residences would be required to implement the 6-lane Modernization Alternative, six to 32 residences would be needed for the 8-lane Modernization Alternative, and eight residences and three businesses would be needed for the Reduced Impacts Alternative. The adjacent arterials component would require acquisition of one commercial building containing two businesses. Bridge removal and construction of a new bridge could harm Butler's garter snakes. In some areas, design year noise levels could increase by as much as 14 decibels over existing levels.

AN - 873128161; 14794-8_0017 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of Interstate 94 (I-94) from 124th Street to 70th Street and the US Highway 45/I-894 corridor from Lincoln Avenue to Burleigh Street in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin is proposed. The study area encompasses the Zoo Interchange and its four approaches, referred to as the east, west, north, and south legs. The west terminus of the project is 124th Street, and the east terminus is 70th Street, a distance of about 3.5 miles. The south terminus is Lincoln Avenue, and the north terminus is Burleigh Street, a distance of about 5.5 miles. The scope of the project includes rebuilding the mainline roadway and bridges; modifying interchange access to improve safety and traffic flow; reconstructing POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reconstruction would maintain a key link in the local, state, and national transportation network; address the obsolete design of the study-area freeway system to improve safety; replace deteriorating pavement and bridges; and accommodate future traffic volumes at an acceptable level of service. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: New right-of-way, totaling 55 to 74 acres within the study area, would need to be acquired. Acquisition of six to 31 residences would be required to implement the 6-lane Modernization Alternative, six to 32 residences would be needed for the 8-lane Modernization Alternative, and eight residences and three businesses would be needed for the Reduced Impacts Alternative. The adjacent arterials component would require acquisition of one commercial building containing two businesses. Bridge removal and construction of a new bridge could harm Butler's garter snakes. In some areas, design year noise levels could increase by as much as 14 decibels over existing levels.

AN - 873127554; 14794-8_0024 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of Interstate 94 (I-94) from 124th Street to 70th Street and the US Highway 45/I-894 corridor from Lincoln Avenue to Burleigh Street in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin is proposed. The study area encompasses the Zoo Interchange and its four approaches, referred to as the east, west, north, and south legs. The west terminus of the project is 124th Street, and the east terminus is 70th Street, a distance of about 3.5 miles. The south terminus is Lincoln Avenue, and the north terminus is Burleigh Street, a distance of about 5.5 miles. The scope of the project includes rebuilding the mainline roadway and bridges; modifying interchange access to improve safety and traffic flow; reconstructing POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reconstruction would maintain a key link in the local, state, and national transportation network; address the obsolete design of the study-area freeway system to improve safety; replace deteriorating pavement and bridges; and accommodate future traffic volumes at an acceptable level of service. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: New right-of-way, totaling 55 to 74 acres within the study area, would need to be acquired. Acquisition of six to 31 residences would be required to implement the 6-lane Modernization Alternative, six to 32 residences would be needed for the 8-lane Modernization Alternative, and eight residences and three businesses would be needed for the Reduced Impacts Alternative. The adjacent arterials component would require acquisition of one commercial building containing two businesses. Bridge removal and construction of a new bridge could harm Butler's garter snakes. In some areas, design year noise levels could increase by as much as 14 decibels over existing levels.

The study area encompasses the Zoo Interchange and its four approaches, referred to as the east, west, north, and south legs. The west terminus of the project is 124th Street, and the east terminus is 70th Street, a distance of about 3.5 miles. The south terminus is Lincoln Avenue, and the north terminus is Burleigh Street, a distance of about 5.5 miles. The scope of the project includes rebuilding the mainline roadway and bridges; modifying interchange access to improve safety and traffic flow; reconstructing POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reconstruction would maintain a key link in the local, state, and national transportation network; address the obsolete design of the study-area freeway system to improve safety; replace deteriorating pavement and bridges; and accommodate future traffic volumes at an acceptable level of service. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: New right-of-way, totaling 55 to 74 acres within the study area, would need to be acquired. Acquisition of six to 31 residences would be required to implement the 6-lane Modernization Alternative, six to 32 residences would be needed for the 8-lane Modernization Alternative, and eight residences and three businesses would be needed for the Reduced Impacts Alternative. The adjacent arterials component would require acquisition of one commercial building containing two businesses. Bridge removal and construction of a new bridge could harm Butler's garter snakes.

Preparation date: February 18, 2011 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - IDAHO 16, I-84 TO IDAHO 44 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY, ADA AND CANYON COUNTIES, IDAHO. [Part 1 of 2] T2 - IDAHO 16, I-84 TO IDAHO 44 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY, ADA AND CANYON COUNTIES, IDAHO. AN - 873127418; 14796-0_0001 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a new limited-access divided highway route, the Idaho16 extension, connecting Interstate 84 (I-84) to Idaho 44 (State Street), Ada and Canyon counties, Idaho is proposed. Ada and Canyon counties, comprising the Treasure Valley, are growing in terms of population, employment, and housing. Between 1980 and mid-2007, the population of the two counties increased 115 percent. Proposed planned communities and rapid development in the communities of Emmett, Eagle, Star, Nampa, and Meridian are increasing travel demand on Idaho highways and surrounding regional roadways. Current north-south routes connecting I-84 to Idaho 44 are not adequate to meet the future travel demands of the Treasure Valley. Screening determined that the Idaho 16 extension, which includes a new roadway crossing of the Boise River, was the only one of five initial transportation concepts that would meet the area's transportation needs. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to costs, safety, noise, and impacts to the Boise River. Six build alternatives and a No Action Alternative are evaluated in this final EIS. Under Alternative 2D, which is the preferred alternative, a four-lane divided highway would be constructed beginning at I-84 and traversing north through the project study area west of the existing McDermott Road. The extension would cross the Boise River, intersect Idaho 44, and terminate 0.81 miles north of Idaho 44 at existing Idaho 16 for an overall length of 7.45 miles. Facilities would include interchanges at Franklin Road, Ustick Road, and US 20/26 (Chinden Boulevard), and grade-separated crossings (overpasses) at the Union Pacific Railroad, Cherry Lane, and McMillan Road. A 300-foot-wide corridor would provide flexibility for future multimodal operations and travel lane capacity. A 220-foot-wide corridor through the Boise River crossing area corridor would provide width to accommodate the roadway, storm drainage basins, roadside safety features, and utilities. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $490 million and phased construction would be required for completion. Phase 1 would consist of a two-mile, four-lane divided highway connecting Idaho 16 from US 20/26 across the Boise River to Idaho 44. Phase 2 would include constructing the new highway from I-84 to US 20/26, completing all interchanges and overpasses and associated local roadways. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would increase the transportation capacity of the Idaho state highway system within western Ada and eastern Canyon counties and reduce north-south travel times between I-84 and destinations north of the Boise River in the vicinity of the Idaho 16 and Idaho 44 intersection by an estimated 50 percent. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: New right-of-way would require acquisition of 168 full and partial parcels comprising 682 acres and would entail displacement of 48 residential properties, one farm, and two home-based commercial enterprises. Embankments would result in floodplain encroachments at the Boise River, Five Mile Creek, and Ten Mile Creek. Impacts to wetlands would total 6.8 acres with the majority to marsh and forested wetlands. Approximately 25.8 acres of native habitat and an additional 0.7 acres of aquatic habitat would be lost. Nine properties eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places would be adversely affected. Fifty residences would be adversely affected by noise from the proposed roadway.

The study area encompasses the Zoo Interchange and its four approaches, referred to as the east, west, north, and south legs. The west terminus of the project is 124th Street, and the east terminus is 70th Street, a distance of about 3.5 miles. The south terminus is Lincoln Avenue, and the north terminus is Burleigh Street, a distance of about 5.5 miles. The scope of the project includes rebuilding the mainline roadway and bridges; modifying interchange access to improve safety and traffic flow; reconstructing POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reconstruction would maintain a key link in the local, state, and national transportation network; address the obsolete design of the study-area freeway system to improve safety; replace deteriorating pavement and bridges; and accommodate future traffic volumes at an acceptable level of service. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: New right-of-way, totaling 55 to 74 acres within the study area, would need to be acquired. Acquisition of six to 31 residences would be required to implement the 6-lane Modernization Alternative, six to 32 residences would be needed for the 8-lane Modernization Alternative, and eight residences and three businesses would be needed for the Reduced Impacts Alternative. The adjacent arterials component would require acquisition of one commercial building containing two businesses. Bridge removal and construction of a new bridge could harm Butler's garter snakes. In some areas, design year noise levels could increase by as much as 14 decibels over existing levels.

AN - 873126855; 14796-0_0002 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a new limited-access divided highway route, the Idaho16 extension, connecting Interstate 84 (I-84) to Idaho 44 (State Street), Ada and Canyon counties, Idaho is proposed. Ada and Canyon counties, comprising the Treasure Valley, are growing in terms of population, employment, and housing. Between 1980 and mid-2007, the population of the two counties increased 115 percent. Proposed planned communities and rapid development in the communities of Emmett, Eagle, Star, Nampa, and Meridian are increasing travel demand on Idaho highways and surrounding regional roadways. Current north-south routes connecting I-84 to Idaho 44 are not adequate to meet the future travel demands of the Treasure Valley. Screening determined that the Idaho 16 extension, which includes a new roadway crossing of the Boise River, was the only one of five initial transportation concepts that would meet the area's transportation needs. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to costs, safety, noise, and impacts to the Boise River. Six build alternatives and a No Action Alternative are evaluated in this final EIS. Under Alternative 2D, which is the preferred alternative, a four-lane divided highway would be constructed beginning at I-84 and traversing north through the project study area west of the existing McDermott Road. The extension would cross the Boise River, intersect Idaho 44, and terminate 0.81 miles north of Idaho 44 at existing Idaho 16 for an overall length of 7.45 miles. Facilities would include interchanges at Franklin Road, Ustick Road, and US 20/26 (Chinden Boulevard), and grade-separated crossings (overpasses) at the Union Pacific Railroad, Cherry Lane, and McMillan Road. A 300-foot-wide corridor would provide flexibility for future multimodal operations and travel lane capacity. A 220-foot-wide corridor through the Boise River crossing area corridor would provide width to accommodate the roadway, storm drainage basins, roadside safety features, and utilities. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $490 million and phased construction would be required for completion. Phase 1 would consist of a two-mile, four-lane divided highway connecting Idaho 16 from US 20/26 across the Boise River to Idaho 44. Phase 2 would include constructing the new highway from I-84 to US 20/26, completing all interchanges and overpasses and associated local roadways. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would increase the transportation capacity of the Idaho state highway system within western Ada and eastern Canyon counties and reduce north-south travel times between I-84 and destinations north of the Boise River in the vicinity of the Idaho 16 and Idaho 44 intersection by an estimated 50 percent. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: New right-of-way would require acquisition of 168 full and partial parcels comprising 682 acres and would entail displacement of 48 residential properties, one farm, and two home-based commercial enterprises. Embankments would result in floodplain encroachments at the Boise River, Five Mile Creek, and Ten Mile Creek. Impacts to wetlands would total 6.8 acres with the majority to marsh and forested wetlands. Approximately 25.8 acres of native habitat and an additional 0.7 acres of aquatic habitat would be lost. Nine properties eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places would be adversely affected. Fifty residences would be adversely affected by noise from the proposed roadway.

AN - 858113276; 14795 AB - PURPOSE: The incremental improvement of levees that protect the city of West Sacramento, Yolo and Solano counties, California is proposed. The city of West Sacramento is located at the confluence of the American and Sacramento Rivers and lies within the natural floodplain of the Sacramento River. Two early implementation projects (EIPs) are proposed by the West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (WSAFCA) under a framework known as the West Sacramento Levee Improvements Program (WSLIP). The study area for the WSLIP includes the city and the lands within WSAFCA's boundaries, which encompass portions of the Sacramento River, the Yolo Bypass, the Sacramento Bypass, and the Sacramento Deep Water Ship Channel. Failure mechanisms and deficiencies have been identified for each of the nine reaches in the WSLIP study area. EIPs are being advanced by WSAFCA to more immediately address flood risk while the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) determines the federal interest in a project being studied under the West Sacramento General Reevaluation Report. This final EIS is a revision of the May 2010 draft EIS and defers program-level analysis for the WSLIP to focus only on the two projects referred to as the CHP Academy EIP and The Rivers EIP. The CHP Academy EIP area is approximately 6,500 feet long and is located on the Sacramento Bypass Levee. Deficiencies at this site are through seepage, geometry, and under-seepage, along with short reaches of instability. The Rivers EIP area is approximately 3,035 feet long and is located on the Sacramento River North Levee, just north of the confluence of the Sacramento and American Rivers, including part of The Rivers residential development. Levee deficiencies at this site include geometry, stability, through-seepage, and under-seepage. Two action alternatives for each EIP are evaluated. The preferred alternative for levee treatments at the CHP Academy site includes a slurry cutoff wall, waterside slope flattening, and a paved bike trail. The preferred alternative for levee treatments at The Rivers site includes a deep soil mixing cutoff wall, landside slope flattening, a paved bike trail, a paved pedestrian trail, a paved landing, and landside levee embankment ramps. Four potential No Action scenarios are also presented, each based on a different application of the USACE's levee vegetation policy. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Early construction of levee improvements that are politically, socially, economically, and environmentally acceptable would further the goal of providing 200-year flood protection for West Sacramento and would reduce flood risk as quickly as possible. The improvements would provide recreation and open space elements for the city that are compatible with flood improvement actions, preserve and enhance riparian and other native habitats, and ensure continuing federal assistance for levee repairs and maintenance. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activity would create safety, noise, traffic, air quality, and visual impacts. Removal of woody vegetation would impact fish and wildlife habitat, recreation, and aesthetics. Species that could be impacted include western pond turtle, giant garter snake, bats, Swainson's hawk, and western burrowing owl. Unavoidable impacts would include temporary road closures, damage to public utility infrastructure and disruption of service, disturbance of archaeological resources, and disturbance of Native American and historical period human remains. The quality of existing recreation opportunities in the levee corridor at The Rivers site would be reduced.

[Part 1 of 3] T2 - US 41 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, BROWN COUNTY, WISCONSIN. AN - 873128269; 14790-4_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of a 3.3-mile segment of US Highway 41 from Memorial Drive to County Road M in Brown County, Wisconsin is proposed. Within the project area, US 41 and Interstate 43 (I-43) serve the City of Green Bay, Village of Howard, Village of Suamico, and surrounding communities. US 41 and I-43 provide a vital north-south transportation link between the Chicago-Milwaukee metropolitan area, the Fox River Valley industrial area, and recreational areas in northeastern Wisconsin and upper Michigan. US 41 is a multi-lane backbone highway and a National Highway System route that is also being planned for future conversion to an interstate highway between Milwaukee and I-43 in Green Bay. The existing US 41 freeway and its interchanges were constructed over 35 years ago and do not meet current design standards. Close proximity of the US 141/Velp Avenue and I-43 interchanges causes operational deficiencies and safety concerns due to inadequate traffic weaving distances. Proposed improvements include reconstructing the interchanges at US 141/Velp Avenue, I-43, and County Road M to meet current design standards, adding an additional lane in each direction on the US 41 mainline, adding auxiliary lanes along US 41 in both directions, constructing new bridges along US 41 over US 141/Velp Avenue, CN Railroad, Wietor Drive, I-43, and Duck Creek, and replacing the County EB/Lakeview Drive structure and the County Road M structure over US 41. In addition, roundabouts would be constructed at the US 141/Velp Avenue interchange ramp terminals, the US 141/Velp Avenue/Memorial Drive intersection east of US 41, the County Road M interchange ramp terminals, and the frontage road intersections with County Road M. Two build alternatives and a No Build Alternative (Alternative A) are analyzed in this draft EIS. Under Alternative D, US 41 would be expanded on a revised alignment that would allow for a freeway split for southbound US 41 to southbound I-43 within the existing interchange footprint. Collector-distributor roads would be constructed on both sides of US 41 between US 141/Velp Avenue and I-43 to accommodate traffic weaving movements. Minor improvements would be made to existing indirect loop ramp geometry at the I-43/US 41 system interchange to accommodate the wider US 41 mainline. Alternative E would involve expanding US 41 with a full reconfiguration of the I-43/US 41 interchange. The US 41 expansion would include a revised northbound alignment, and a raised northbound gradeline to accommodate the southbound US 41 to southbound I-43 ramp within the existing interchange footprint and the northbound I-43 to southbound US 41 flyover ramp piers and foundations. All loop ramps would be eliminated and the I/43/US 41 system interchange would be reconstructed with directional ramps. The existing access between US 141/Velp Avenue and I-43 via US 41 would be eliminated and Atkinson Avenue or an alternate route would be used to access southbound I-43 from US 141/Velp Avenue or to access US 141/Velp Avenue from northbound I-43. Estimated construction costs of Alternative D and Alternative E are $220 million and $230 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The reconstructed highway and interchanges would address geometric and operational deficiencies, improve traffic flow and safety, and help meet traffic demand and mobility needs including future conversion of US 41 to an interstate highway. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: New right-of-way requirements under alternatives D and E would convert 29 acres and 37 acres of land, respectively. Construction would involve two stream crossings, one stream realignment, and impacts to 54 to 55 acres of wetlands. Habitat for Blanding's turtle, wood turtle, common tern, black-crowned night heron, and cattle egret could be affected. The build alternatives would impact 8.4 to 12.2 acres of park land and conservation areas and require relocation of 13 residences and one business.

Within the project area, US 41 and Interstate 43 (I-43) serve the City of Green Bay, Village of Howard, Village of Suamico, and surrounding communities. US 41 and I-43 provide a vital north-south transportation link between the Chicago-Milwaukee metropolitan area, the Fox River Valley industrial area, and recreational areas in northeastern Wisconsin and upper Michigan. US 41 is a multi-lane backbone highway and a National Highway System route that is also being planned for future conversion to an interstate highway between Milwaukee and I-43 in Green Bay. The existing US 41 freeway and its interchanges were constructed over 35 years ago and do not meet current design standards. Close proximity of the US 141/Velp Avenue and I-43 interchanges causes operational deficiencies and safety concerns due to inadequate traffic weaving distances. Proposed improvements include reconstructing the interchanges at US 141/Velp Avenue, I-43, and County Road M to meet current design standards, adding an additional lane in each direction on the US 41 mainline, adding auxiliary lanes along US 41 in both directions, constructing new bridges along US 41 over US 141/Velp Avenue, CN Railroad, Wietor Drive, I-43, and Duck Creek, and replacing the County EB/Lakeview Drive structure and the County Road M structure over US 41. In addition, roundabouts would be constructed at the US 141/Velp Avenue interchange ramp terminals, the US 141/Velp Avenue/Memorial Drive intersection east of US 41, the County Road M interchange ramp terminals, and the frontage road intersections with County Road M. Two build alternatives and a No Build Alternative (Alternative A) are analyzed in this draft EIS. Under Alternative D, US 41 would be expanded on a revised alignment that would allow for a freeway split for southbound US 41 to southbound I-43 within the existing interchange footprint. Collector-distributor roads would be constructed on both sides of US 41 between US 141/Velp Avenue and I-43 to accommodate traffic weaving movements. Minor improvements would be made to existing indirect loop ramp geometry at the I-43/US 41 system interchange to accommodate the wider US 41 mainline. Alternative E would involve expanding US 41 with a full reconfiguration of the I-43/US 41 interchange.

AN - 840348766; 21038362 AB - Potentially toxic nitroaromatic and nitramine compounds are introduced onto soils during detonation of explosives. The present study was conducted to investigate the desorption and transformation of explosive compounds loaded onto three soils through controlled detonation. The soils were proximally detonated with Composition B, a commonly used military explosive containing 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), and octahydro 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX). Gas-exchangeable surface areas were measured from pristine and detonated soils. Aqueous batches of detonated soils were prepared by mixing each soil with ultrapure water. Samples were collected for 141 d and concentrations of Composition B compounds and TNT transformation products 2-amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene (2ADNT), 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene (4ADNT), and 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (1,3,5-TNB) were measured. The RDX, HMX, and TNT concentrations in detonated soil batches exhibited first-order physical desorption for the first, roughly, 10 d and then reached steady state apparent equilibrium within 40 d. An aqueous batch containing powdered Composition B in water was sampled over time to quantify TNT, RDX, and HMX dissolution from undetonated Composition B particles. The TNT, RDX, and HMX concentrations in aqueous batches of pure Composition B reached equilibrium within 6, 11, and 20 d, respectively. Detonated soils exhibited lower gas-exchangeable surface areas than their pristine counterparts. This is likely due to an explosive residue coating on detonated soil surfaces, shock-induced compaction, sintering, and/or partial fusion of soil particles under the intense heat associated with detonation. Our results suggest that explosive compounds loaded to soils through detonation take longer to reach equilibrium concentrations in aqueous batches than soils loaded with explosive residues through aqueous addition. This is likely due to the heterogeneous interactions between explosive residues and soil particle surfaces. © 2010 SETAC.

[Part 29 of 31] T2 - C-111 SPREADER CANAL WESTERN PROJECT, CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA PROJECT COMPREHENSIVE EVERGLADES RESTORATION PLAN, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 873128963; 14785-9_0029 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of the C-111 Spreader Canal Western Project within Everglades National Park, Florida is recommended. The C-111 Canal is the southernmost canal of the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Project and is located in south Miami-Dade County. The C-111 Canal courses through extensive marl wetland prairie and coastal mangrove marsh before it empties into Manatee Bay. The canal serves a basin of approximately 100 square miles and functions primarily to provide flood protection and drainage for the agricultural areas to the west and south of Homestead. The canal is the final segment of the South Dade Conveyance System and provides a means to deliver water to Taylor Slough in Everglades National Park and the eastern Panhandle. Taylor Slough is a natural drainage feature of the Everglades that flows southwest into numerous tributaries that eventually empty into Florida Bay. In addition to Everglades National Park, the C-111 Spreader Canal project study area includes the Model Land and the Southern Glades. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are analyzed in this final integrated project implementation report and EIS. Alternative 2DS, the recommended alternative, would create an approximately nine-mile hydraulic ridge adjacent to Everglades National Park utilizing the Frog Pond Detention Area (FPDA) and Aerojet Canal features. The FPDA would include a 225-cubic-feet-per-second (cfs) pump to route water to an approximately 590-acre above-ground detention area; a second 225-cfs pump station would be constructed to route water to the Aerojet Canal. An operable structure would be constructed within the lower C-111 Canal to create groundwater mounding; and operational changes would be made in the current open and close triggers at existing structure S-18C. A permanent plug would be constructed at existing structure S-20A in the L-31E Canal, operational changes would be made at existing structure S-20, and earthen plugs would be constructed at key locations within the C-110 Canal. Ten plugs would be constructed at semi-regular intervals by returning the existing spoil material from the canal banks to the Canal. Any remaining spoil not utilized in construction of the plugs would be placed into the canal to further promote sheetflow and to lessen the effects of any remaining canal segments. Proposed recreation components include a trailhead and an impoundment cell multi-use trail. The levees will serve as raised trails. Total first cost of the recommended plan is estimated at $161 million. As a result of the lengthy process to obtain federal approval of a project implementation report and the need to address further damage to an already fragile ecosystem, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) has undertaken a state expedited project program initiative to construct the recommended plan prior to authorization of the federal project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the recommended plan would contribute to the restoration of Everglades National Park and the adjacent southeast Florida ecosystem by improving the quantity, timing, and distribution of water delivered to Florida Bay via Taylor Slough. The intermediate water control features, incremental S-18C changes, L-31 E Canal changes, and C-110 Canal plugs would serve to raise hydroperiods and promote sheet flow within the Southern Glades and Model Land and would preserve existing levels of flood damage reduction. The flexibility of the recommended plan would be instrumental in balancing the limited water flows that are currently available. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased water levels would result in alteration of agricultural requirements in the Frog Pond area; and some existing wetlands would be permanently altered.

[Part 28 of 31] T2 - C-111 SPREADER CANAL WESTERN PROJECT, CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA PROJECT COMPREHENSIVE EVERGLADES RESTORATION PLAN, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 873128949; 14785-9_0028 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of the C-111 Spreader Canal Western Project within Everglades National Park, Florida is recommended. The C-111 Canal is the southernmost canal of the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Project and is located in south Miami-Dade County. The C-111 Canal courses through extensive marl wetland prairie and coastal mangrove marsh before it empties into Manatee Bay. The canal serves a basin of approximately 100 square miles and functions primarily to provide flood protection and drainage for the agricultural areas to the west and south of Homestead. The canal is the final segment of the South Dade Conveyance System and provides a means to deliver water to Taylor Slough in Everglades National Park and the eastern Panhandle. Taylor Slough is a natural drainage feature of the Everglades that flows southwest into numerous tributaries that eventually empty into Florida Bay. In addition to Everglades National Park, the C-111 Spreader Canal project study area includes the Model Land and the Southern Glades. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are analyzed in this final integrated project implementation report and EIS. Alternative 2DS, the recommended alternative, would create an approximately nine-mile hydraulic ridge adjacent to Everglades National Park utilizing the Frog Pond Detention Area (FPDA) and Aerojet Canal features. The FPDA would include a 225-cubic-feet-per-second (cfs) pump to route water to an approximately 590-acre above-ground detention area; a second 225-cfs pump station would be constructed to route water to the Aerojet Canal. An operable structure would be constructed within the lower C-111 Canal to create groundwater mounding; and operational changes would be made in the current open and close triggers at existing structure S-18C. A permanent plug would be constructed at existing structure S-20A in the L-31E Canal, operational changes would be made at existing structure S-20, and earthen plugs would be constructed at key locations within the C-110 Canal. Ten plugs would be constructed at semi-regular intervals by returning the existing spoil material from the canal banks to the Canal. Any remaining spoil not utilized in construction of the plugs would be placed into the canal to further promote sheetflow and to lessen the effects of any remaining canal segments. Proposed recreation components include a trailhead and an impoundment cell multi-use trail. The levees will serve as raised trails. Total first cost of the recommended plan is estimated at $161 million. As a result of the lengthy process to obtain federal approval of a project implementation report and the need to address further damage to an already fragile ecosystem, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) has undertaken a state expedited project program initiative to construct the recommended plan prior to authorization of the federal project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the recommended plan would contribute to the restoration of Everglades National Park and the adjacent southeast Florida ecosystem by improving the quantity, timing, and distribution of water delivered to Florida Bay via Taylor Slough. The intermediate water control features, incremental S-18C changes, L-31 E Canal changes, and C-110 Canal plugs would serve to raise hydroperiods and promote sheet flow within the Southern Glades and Model Land and would preserve existing levels of flood damage reduction. The flexibility of the recommended plan would be instrumental in balancing the limited water flows that are currently available. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased water levels would result in alteration of agricultural requirements in the Frog Pond area; and some existing wetlands would be permanently altered. Flood protection would be affected on a total of 11,565 acres of land, including 776 acres of privately-owned lands, and acquisition and easement fees would add to project costs.

[Part 8 of 31] T2 - C-111 SPREADER CANAL WESTERN PROJECT, CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA PROJECT COMPREHENSIVE EVERGLADES RESTORATION PLAN, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 873128874; 14785-9_0008 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of the C-111 Spreader Canal Western Project within Everglades National Park, Florida is recommended. The C-111 Canal is the southernmost canal of the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Project and is located in south Miami-Dade County. The C-111 Canal courses through extensive marl wetland prairie and coastal mangrove marsh before it empties into Manatee Bay. The canal serves a basin of approximately 100 square miles and functions primarily to provide flood protection and drainage for the agricultural areas to the west and south of Homestead. The canal is the final segment of the South Dade Conveyance System and provides a means to deliver water to Taylor Slough in Everglades National Park and the eastern Panhandle. Taylor Slough is a natural drainage feature of the Everglades that flows southwest into numerous tributaries that eventually empty into Florida Bay. In addition to Everglades National Park, the C-111 Spreader Canal project study area includes the Model Land and the Southern Glades. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are analyzed in this final integrated project implementation report and EIS. Alternative 2DS, the recommended alternative, would create an approximately nine-mile hydraulic ridge adjacent to Everglades National Park utilizing the Frog Pond Detention Area (FPDA) and Aerojet Canal features. The FPDA would include a 225-cubic-feet-per-second (cfs) pump to route water to an approximately 590-acre above-ground detention area; a second 225-cfs pump station would be constructed to route water to the Aerojet Canal. An operable structure would be constructed within the lower C-111 Canal to create groundwater mounding; and operational changes would be made in the current open and close triggers at existing structure S-18C. A permanent plug would be constructed at existing structure S-20A in the L-31E Canal, operational changes would be made at existing structure S-20, and earthen plugs would be constructed at key locations within the C-110 Canal. Ten plugs would be constructed at semi-regular intervals by returning the existing spoil material from the canal banks to the Canal. Any remaining spoil not utilized in construction of the plugs would be placed into the canal to further promote sheetflow and to lessen the effects of any remaining canal segments. Proposed recreation components include a trailhead and an impoundment cell multi-use trail. The levees will serve as raised trails. Total first cost of the recommended plan is estimated at $161 million. As a result of the lengthy process to obtain federal approval of a project implementation report and the need to address further damage to an already fragile ecosystem, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) has undertaken a state expedited project program initiative to construct the recommended plan prior to authorization of the federal project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the recommended plan would contribute to the restoration of Everglades National Park and the adjacent southeast Florida ecosystem by improving the quantity, timing, and distribution of water delivered to Florida Bay via Taylor Slough. The intermediate water control features, incremental S-18C changes, L-31 E Canal changes, and C-110 Canal plugs would serve to raise hydroperiods and promote sheet flow within the Southern Glades and Model Land and would preserve existing levels of flood damage reduction. The flexibility of the recommended plan would be instrumental in balancing the limited water flows that are currently available. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased water levels would result in alteration of agricultural requirements in the Frog Pond area; and some existing wetlands would be permanently altered. Flood protection would be affected on a total of 11,565 acres of land, including 776 acres of privately-owned lands, and acquisition and easement fees would add to project costs. Construction activities would disrupt local feeding areas of some species and habitat for the Cape Sable seaside sparrow could experience extended hydroperiods exceeding its optimal range. Localized reduction in freshwater flow in the C-111 Canal could precipitate some redistribution of West Indian manatee in estuarine coastal areas. Rehydration of the FPDA could result in risk to fish from the presence of pesticides and metals attributed to past agricultural activity.

[Part 1 of 31] T2 - C-111 SPREADER CANAL WESTERN PROJECT, CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA PROJECT COMPREHENSIVE EVERGLADES RESTORATION PLAN, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 873128187; 14785-9_0001 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of the C-111 Spreader Canal Western Project within Everglades National Park, Florida is recommended. The C-111 Canal is the southernmost canal of the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Project and is located in south Miami-Dade County. The C-111 Canal courses through extensive marl wetland prairie and coastal mangrove marsh before it empties into Manatee Bay. The canal serves a basin of approximately 100 square miles and functions primarily to provide flood protection and drainage for the agricultural areas to the west and south of Homestead. The canal is the final segment of the South Dade Conveyance System and provides a means to deliver water to Taylor Slough in Everglades National Park and the eastern Panhandle. Taylor Slough is a natural drainage feature of the Everglades that flows southwest into numerous tributaries that eventually empty into Florida Bay. In addition to Everglades National Park, the C-111 Spreader Canal project study area includes the Model Land and the Southern Glades. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are analyzed in this final integrated project implementation report and EIS. Alternative 2DS, the recommended alternative, would create an approximately nine-mile hydraulic ridge adjacent to Everglades National Park utilizing the Frog Pond Detention Area (FPDA) and Aerojet Canal features. The FPDA would include a 225-cubic-feet-per-second (cfs) pump to route water to an approximately 590-acre above-ground detention area; a second 225-cfs pump station would be constructed to route water to the Aerojet Canal. An operable structure would be constructed within the lower C-111 Canal to create groundwater mounding; and operational changes would be made in the current open and close triggers at existing structure S-18C. A permanent plug would be constructed at existing structure S-20A in the L-31E Canal, operational changes would be made at existing structure S-20, and earthen plugs would be constructed at key locations within the C-110 Canal. Ten plugs would be constructed at semi-regular intervals by returning the existing spoil material from the canal banks to the Canal. Any remaining spoil not utilized in construction of the plugs would be placed into the canal to further promote sheetflow and to lessen the effects of any remaining canal segments. Proposed recreation components include a trailhead and an impoundment cell multi-use trail. The levees will serve as raised trails. Total first cost of the recommended plan is estimated at $161 million. As a result of the lengthy process to obtain federal approval of a project implementation report and the need to address further damage to an already fragile ecosystem, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) has undertaken a state expedited project program initiative to construct the recommended plan prior to authorization of the federal project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the recommended plan would contribute to the restoration of Everglades National Park and the adjacent southeast Florida ecosystem by improving the quantity, timing, and distribution of water delivered to Florida Bay via Taylor Slough. The intermediate water control features, incremental S-18C changes, L-31 E Canal changes, and C-110 Canal plugs would serve to raise hydroperiods and promote sheet flow within the Southern Glades and Model Land and would preserve existing levels of flood damage reduction. The flexibility of the recommended plan would be instrumental in balancing the limited water flows that are currently available. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased water levels would result in alteration of agricultural requirements in the Frog Pond area; and some existing wetlands would be permanently altered. Flood protection would be affected on a total of 11,565 acres of land, including 776 acres of privately-owned lands, and acquisition and easement fees would add to project costs. Construction activities would disrupt local feeding areas of some species and habitat for the Cape Sable seaside sparrow could experience extended hydroperiods exceeding its optimal range. Localized reduction in freshwater flow in the C-111 Canal could precipitate some redistribution of West Indian manatee in estuarine coastal areas. Rehydration of the FPDA could result in risk to fish from the presence of pesticides and metals attributed to past agricultural activity.

[Part 14 of 31] T2 - C-111 SPREADER CANAL WESTERN PROJECT, CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA PROJECT COMPREHENSIVE EVERGLADES RESTORATION PLAN, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 873128040; 14785-9_0014 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of the C-111 Spreader Canal Western Project within Everglades National Park, Florida is recommended. The C-111 Canal is the southernmost canal of the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Project and is located in south Miami-Dade County. The C-111 Canal courses through extensive marl wetland prairie and coastal mangrove marsh before it empties into Manatee Bay. The canal serves a basin of approximately 100 square miles and functions primarily to provide flood protection and drainage for the agricultural areas to the west and south of Homestead. The canal is the final segment of the South Dade Conveyance System and provides a means to deliver water to Taylor Slough in Everglades National Park and the eastern Panhandle. Taylor Slough is a natural drainage feature of the Everglades that flows southwest into numerous tributaries that eventually empty into Florida Bay. In addition to Everglades National Park, the C-111 Spreader Canal project study area includes the Model Land and the Southern Glades. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are analyzed in this final integrated project implementation report and EIS. Alternative 2DS, the recommended alternative, would create an approximately nine-mile hydraulic ridge adjacent to Everglades National Park utilizing the Frog Pond Detention Area (FPDA) and Aerojet Canal features. The FPDA would include a 225-cubic-feet-per-second (cfs) pump to route water to an approximately 590-acre above-ground detention area; a second 225-cfs pump station would be constructed to route water to the Aerojet Canal. An operable structure would be constructed within the lower C-111 Canal to create groundwater mounding; and operational changes would be made in the current open and close triggers at existing structure S-18C. A permanent plug would be constructed at existing structure S-20A in the L-31E Canal, operational changes would be made at existing structure S-20, and earthen plugs would be constructed at key locations within the C-110 Canal. Ten plugs would be constructed at semi-regular intervals by returning the existing spoil material from the canal banks to the Canal. Any remaining spoil not utilized in construction of the plugs would be placed into the canal to further promote sheetflow and to lessen the effects of any remaining canal segments. Proposed recreation components include a trailhead and an impoundment cell multi-use trail. The levees will serve as raised trails. Total first cost of the recommended plan is estimated at $161 million. As a result of the lengthy process to obtain federal approval of a project implementation report and the need to address further damage to an already fragile ecosystem, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) has undertaken a state expedited project program initiative to construct the recommended plan prior to authorization of the federal project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the recommended plan would contribute to the restoration of Everglades National Park and the adjacent southeast Florida ecosystem by improving the quantity, timing, and distribution of water delivered to Florida Bay via Taylor Slough. The intermediate water control features, incremental S-18C changes, L-31 E Canal changes, and C-110 Canal plugs would serve to raise hydroperiods and promote sheet flow within the Southern Glades and Model Land and would preserve existing levels of flood damage reduction. The flexibility of the recommended plan would be instrumental in balancing the limited water flows that are currently available. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased water levels would result in alteration of agricultural requirements in the Frog Pond area; and some existing wetlands would be permanently altered. Flood protection would be affected on a total of 11,565 acres of land, including 776 acres of privately-owned lands, and acquisition and easement fees would add to project costs. Construction activities would disrupt local feeding areas of some species and habitat for the Cape Sable seaside sparrow could experience extended hydroperiods exceeding its optimal range. Localized reduction in freshwater flow in the C-111 Canal could precipitate some redistribution of West Indian manatee in estuarine coastal areas. Rehydration of the FPDA could result in risk to fish from the presence of pesticides and metals attributed to past agricultural activity.

[Part 26 of 31] T2 - C-111 SPREADER CANAL WESTERN PROJECT, CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA PROJECT COMPREHENSIVE EVERGLADES RESTORATION PLAN, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 873127447; 14785-9_0026 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of the C-111 Spreader Canal Western Project within Everglades National Park, Florida is recommended. The C-111 Canal is the southernmost canal of the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Project and is located in south Miami-Dade County. The C-111 Canal courses through extensive marl wetland prairie and coastal mangrove marsh before it empties into Manatee Bay. The canal serves a basin of approximately 100 square miles and functions primarily to provide flood protection and drainage for the agricultural areas to the west and south of Homestead. The canal is the final segment of the South Dade Conveyance System and provides a means to deliver water to Taylor Slough in Everglades National Park and the eastern Panhandle. Taylor Slough is a natural drainage feature of the Everglades that flows southwest into numerous tributaries that eventually empty into Florida Bay. In addition to Everglades National Park, the C-111 Spreader Canal project study area includes the Model Land and the Southern Glades. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are analyzed in this final integrated project implementation report and EIS. Alternative 2DS, the recommended alternative, would create an approximately nine-mile hydraulic ridge adjacent to Everglades National Park utilizing the Frog Pond Detention Area (FPDA) and Aerojet Canal features. The FPDA would include a 225-cubic-feet-per-second (cfs) pump to route water to an approximately 590-acre above-ground detention area; a second 225-cfs pump station would be constructed to route water to the Aerojet Canal. An operable structure would be constructed within the lower C-111 Canal to create groundwater mounding; and operational changes would be made in the current open and close triggers at existing structure S-18C. A permanent plug would be constructed at existing structure S-20A in the L-31E Canal, operational changes would be made at existing structure S-20, and earthen plugs would be constructed at key locations within the C-110 Canal. Ten plugs would be constructed at semi-regular intervals by returning the existing spoil material from the canal banks to the Canal. Any remaining spoil not utilized in construction of the plugs would be placed into the canal to further promote sheetflow and to lessen the effects of any remaining canal segments. Proposed recreation components include a trailhead and an impoundment cell multi-use trail. The levees will serve as raised trails. Total first cost of the recommended plan is estimated at $161 million. As a result of the lengthy process to obtain federal approval of a project implementation report and the need to address further damage to an already fragile ecosystem, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) has undertaken a state expedited project program initiative to construct the recommended plan prior to authorization of the federal project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the recommended plan would contribute to the restoration of Everglades National Park and the adjacent southeast Florida ecosystem by improving the quantity, timing, and distribution of water delivered to Florida Bay via Taylor Slough. The intermediate water control features, incremental S-18C changes, L-31 E Canal changes, and C-110 Canal plugs would serve to raise hydroperiods and promote sheet flow within the Southern Glades and Model Land and would preserve existing levels of flood damage reduction. The flexibility of the recommended plan would be instrumental in balancing the limited water flows that are currently available. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased water levels would result in alteration of agricultural requirements in the Frog Pond area; and some existing wetlands would be permanently altered. Flood protection would be affected on a total of 11,565 acres of land, including 776 acres of privately-owned lands, and acquisition and easement fees would add to project costs. Construction activities would disrupt local feeding areas of some species and habitat for the Cape Sable seaside sparrow could experience extended hydroperiods exceeding its optimal range. Localized reduction in freshwater flow in the C-111 Canal could precipitate some redistribution of West Indian manatee in estuarine coastal areas. Rehydration of the FPDA could result in risk to fish from the presence of pesticides and metals attributed to past agricultural activity.

[Part 18 of 31] T2 - C-111 SPREADER CANAL WESTERN PROJECT, CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA PROJECT COMPREHENSIVE EVERGLADES RESTORATION PLAN, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 873127411; 14785-9_0018 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of the C-111 Spreader Canal Western Project within Everglades National Park, Florida is recommended. The C-111 Canal is the southernmost canal of the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Project and is located in south Miami-Dade County. The C-111 Canal courses through extensive marl wetland prairie and coastal mangrove marsh before it empties into Manatee Bay. The canal serves a basin of approximately 100 square miles and functions primarily to provide flood protection and drainage for the agricultural areas to the west and south of Homestead. The canal is the final segment of the South Dade Conveyance System and provides a means to deliver water to Taylor Slough in Everglades National Park and the eastern Panhandle. Taylor Slough is a natural drainage feature of the Everglades that flows southwest into numerous tributaries that eventually empty into Florida Bay. In addition to Everglades National Park, the C-111 Spreader Canal project study area includes the Model Land and the Southern Glades. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are analyzed in this final integrated project implementation report and EIS. Alternative 2DS, the recommended alternative, would create an approximately nine-mile hydraulic ridge adjacent to Everglades National Park utilizing the Frog Pond Detention Area (FPDA) and Aerojet Canal features. The FPDA would include a 225-cubic-feet-per-second (cfs) pump to route water to an approximately 590-acre above-ground detention area; a second 225-cfs pump station would be constructed to route water to the Aerojet Canal. An operable structure would be constructed within the lower C-111 Canal to create groundwater mounding; and operational changes would be made in the current open and close triggers at existing structure S-18C. A permanent plug would be constructed at existing structure S-20A in the L-31E Canal, operational changes would be made at existing structure S-20, and earthen plugs would be constructed at key locations within the C-110 Canal. Ten plugs would be constructed at semi-regular intervals by returning the existing spoil material from the canal banks to the Canal. Any remaining spoil not utilized in construction of the plugs would be placed into the canal to further promote sheetflow and to lessen the effects of any remaining canal segments. Proposed recreation components include a trailhead and an impoundment cell multi-use trail. The levees will serve as raised trails. Total first cost of the recommended plan is estimated at $161 million. As a result of the lengthy process to obtain federal approval of a project implementation report and the need to address further damage to an already fragile ecosystem, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) has undertaken a state expedited project program initiative to construct the recommended plan prior to authorization of the federal project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the recommended plan would contribute to the restoration of Everglades National Park and the adjacent southeast Florida ecosystem by improving the quantity, timing, and distribution of water delivered to Florida Bay via Taylor Slough. The intermediate water control features, incremental S-18C changes, L-31 E Canal changes, and C-110 Canal plugs would serve to raise hydroperiods and promote sheet flow within the Southern Glades and Model Land and would preserve existing levels of flood damage reduction. The flexibility of the recommended plan would be instrumental in balancing the limited water flows that are currently available. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased water levels would result in alteration of agricultural requirements in the Frog Pond area; and some existing wetlands would be permanently altered. Flood protection would be affected on a total of 11,565 acres of land, including 776 acres of privately-owned lands, and acquisition and easement fees would add to project costs. Construction activities would disrupt local feeding areas of some species and habitat for the Cape Sable seaside sparrow could experience extended hydroperiods exceeding its optimal range. Localized reduction in freshwater flow in the C-111 Canal could precipitate some redistribution of West Indian manatee in estuarine coastal areas. Rehydration of the FPDA could result in risk to fish from the presence of pesticides and metals attributed to past agricultural activity.

[Part 21 of 31] T2 - C-111 SPREADER CANAL WESTERN PROJECT, CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA PROJECT COMPREHENSIVE EVERGLADES RESTORATION PLAN, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 873127150; 14785-9_0021 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of the C-111 Spreader Canal Western Project within Everglades National Park, Florida is recommended. The C-111 Canal is the southernmost canal of the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Project and is located in south Miami-Dade County. The C-111 Canal courses through extensive marl wetland prairie and coastal mangrove marsh before it empties into Manatee Bay. The canal serves a basin of approximately 100 square miles and functions primarily to provide flood protection and drainage for the agricultural areas to the west and south of Homestead. The canal is the final segment of the South Dade Conveyance System and provides a means to deliver water to Taylor Slough in Everglades National Park and the eastern Panhandle. Taylor Slough is a natural drainage feature of the Everglades that flows southwest into numerous tributaries that eventually empty into Florida Bay. In addition to Everglades National Park, the C-111 Spreader Canal project study area includes the Model Land and the Southern Glades. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are analyzed in this final integrated project implementation report and EIS. Alternative 2DS, the recommended alternative, would create an approximately nine-mile hydraulic ridge adjacent to Everglades National Park utilizing the Frog Pond Detention Area (FPDA) and Aerojet Canal features. The FPDA would include a 225-cubic-feet-per-second (cfs) pump to route water to an approximately 590-acre above-ground detention area; a second 225-cfs pump station would be constructed to route water to the Aerojet Canal. An operable structure would be constructed within the lower C-111 Canal to create groundwater mounding; and operational changes would be made in the current open and close triggers at existing structure S-18C. A permanent plug would be constructed at existing structure S-20A in the L-31E Canal, operational changes would be made at existing structure S-20, and earthen plugs would be constructed at key locations within the C-110 Canal. Ten plugs would be constructed at semi-regular intervals by returning the existing spoil material from the canal banks to the Canal. Any remaining spoil not utilized in construction of the plugs would be placed into the canal to further promote sheetflow and to lessen the effects of any remaining canal segments. Proposed recreation components include a trailhead and an impoundment cell multi-use trail. The levees will serve as raised trails. Total first cost of the recommended plan is estimated at $161 million. As a result of the lengthy process to obtain federal approval of a project implementation report and the need to address further damage to an already fragile ecosystem, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) has undertaken a state expedited project program initiative to construct the recommended plan prior to authorization of the federal project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the recommended plan would contribute to the restoration of Everglades National Park and the adjacent southeast Florida ecosystem by improving the quantity, timing, and distribution of water delivered to Florida Bay via Taylor Slough. The intermediate water control features, incremental S-18C changes, L-31 E Canal changes, and C-110 Canal plugs would serve to raise hydroperiods and promote sheet flow within the Southern Glades and Model Land and would preserve existing levels of flood damage reduction. The flexibility of the recommended plan would be instrumental in balancing the limited water flows that are currently available. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased water levels would result in alteration of agricultural requirements in the Frog Pond area; and some existing wetlands would be permanently altered. Flood protection would be affected on a total of 11,565 acres of land, including 776 acres of privately-owned lands, and acquisition and easement fees would add to project costs. Construction activities would disrupt local feeding areas of some species and habitat for the Cape Sable seaside sparrow could experience extended hydroperiods exceeding its optimal range. Localized reduction in freshwater flow in the C-111 Canal could precipitate some redistribution of West Indian manatee in estuarine coastal areas. Rehydration of the FPDA could result in risk to fish from the presence of pesticides and metals attributed to past agricultural activity.

AN - 873126608; 14785-9_0003 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of the C-111 Spreader Canal Western Project within Everglades National Park, Florida is recommended. The C-111 Canal is the southernmost canal of the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Project and is located in south Miami-Dade County. The C-111 Canal courses through extensive marl wetland prairie and coastal mangrove marsh before it empties into Manatee Bay. The canal serves a basin of approximately 100 square miles and functions primarily to provide flood protection and drainage for the agricultural areas to the west and south of Homestead. The canal is the final segment of the South Dade Conveyance System and provides a means to deliver water to Taylor Slough in Everglades National Park and the eastern Panhandle. Taylor Slough is a natural drainage feature of the Everglades that flows southwest into numerous tributaries that eventually empty into Florida Bay. In addition to Everglades National Park, the C-111 Spreader Canal project study area includes the Model Land and the Southern Glades. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are analyzed in this final integrated project implementation report and EIS. Alternative 2DS, the recommended alternative, would create an approximately nine-mile hydraulic ridge adjacent to Everglades National Park utilizing the Frog Pond Detention Area (FPDA) and Aerojet Canal features. The FPDA would include a 225-cubic-feet-per-second (cfs) pump to route water to an approximately 590-acre above-ground detention area; a second 225-cfs pump station would be constructed to route water to the Aerojet Canal. An operable structure would be constructed within the lower C-111 Canal to create groundwater mounding; and operational changes would be made in the current open and close triggers at existing structure S-18C. A permanent plug would be constructed at existing structure S-20A in the L-31E Canal, operational changes would be made at existing structure S-20, and earthen plugs would be constructed at key locations within the C-110 Canal. Ten plugs would be constructed at semi-regular intervals by returning the existing spoil material from the canal banks to the Canal. Any remaining spoil not utilized in construction of the plugs would be placed into the canal to further promote sheetflow and to lessen the effects of any remaining canal segments. Proposed recreation components include a trailhead and an impoundment cell multi-use trail. The levees will serve as raised trails. Total first cost of the recommended plan is estimated at $161 million. As a result of the lengthy process to obtain federal approval of a project implementation report and the need to address further damage to an already fragile ecosystem, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) has undertaken a state expedited project program initiative to construct the recommended plan prior to authorization of the federal project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the recommended plan would contribute to the restoration of Everglades National Park and the adjacent southeast Florida ecosystem by improving the quantity, timing, and distribution of water delivered to Florida Bay via Taylor Slough. The intermediate water control features, incremental S-18C changes, L-31 E Canal changes, and C-110 Canal plugs would serve to raise hydroperiods and promote sheet flow within the Southern Glades and Model Land and would preserve existing levels of flood damage reduction. The flexibility of the recommended plan would be instrumental in balancing the limited water flows that are currently available. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased water levels would result in alteration of agricultural requirements in the Frog Pond area; and some existing wetlands would be permanently altered. Flood protection would be affected on a total of 11,565 acres of land, including 776 acres of privately-owned lands, and acquisition and easement fees would add to project costs. Construction activities would disrupt local feeding areas of some species and habitat for the Cape Sable seaside sparrow could experience extended hydroperiods exceeding its optimal range. Localized reduction in freshwater flow in the C-111 Canal could precipitate some redistribution of West Indian manatee in estuarine coastal areas. Rehydration of the FPDA could result in risk to fish from the presence of pesticides and metals attributed to past agricultural activity.

AN - 821194276; 20965580 AB - Production, usage and disposal of the munitions constituent (MC) cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) has led to environmental releases on military facilities. The chemical attributes of RDX are conducive for leaching to surface water which may put aquatic organisms at risk of exposure. Because RDX has been observed to cause aberrant neuromuscular effects across a wide range of animal phyla, we assessed the effects of RDX on central nervous system (CNS) functions in the representative aquatic ecotoxicological model species, fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas). We developed a fathead minnow brain-tissue cDNA library enriched for transcripts differentially expressed in response to RDX and trinitrotoluene (TNT) exposure. All 4,128 cDNAs were sequenced, quality filtered and assembled yielding 2230 unique sequences and 945 significant blastx matches (E ≤10(-5)). The cDNA library was leveraged to create custom-spotted microarrays for use in transcript expression assays. The impact of RDX on transcript expression in brain tissue was examined in fathead minnows exposed to RDX at 0.625, 2.5, 5, 10mg/L or an acetone-spike control for 10 days. Overt toxicity of RDX in fathead minnow occurred only at the highest exposure concentration resulting in 50% mortality and weight loss. Conversely, Bayesian analysis of microarray data indicated significant changes in transcript expression at concentrations as low as 0.625 mg/L. In total, 154 cDNAs representing 44 unique transcripts were differentially expressed in RDX exposures, the majority of which were validated by reverse transcriptase-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Investigation of molecular pathways, gene ontology (GO) and individual gene functions affected by RDX exposures indicated changes in metabolic processes involved in: oxygen transport, neurological function, calcium binding/signaling, energy metabolism, cell growth/division, oxidative stress and ubiquitination. In total, our study indicated that RDX exposure affected molecular processes critical to CNS function in fathead minnow. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AN - 873129648; 14767-1_0029 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a controlled-access toll road extending 22 miles from I-85 west of Gastonia in Gaston County to I-485, near the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport, in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina is proposed. The project is known both as the Gaston East-West Connector and as the Garden Parkway. Limited crossings of the Catawba River constrain travel between Gaston and Mecklenburg Counties; and within southern Gaston County, south of I-85, a lack of connecting east-west roadways makes travel circuitous and limits mobility. Congestion and frequent incidents on I-85 inhibit regional travel and diminish the ability of I-85 to function as a strategic highway corridor and intrastate corridor. Projected growth in southern Gaston County and western Mecklenburg County would further increase demand for accessibility and connectivity between the two counties. Twelve new location detailed study alternatives (DSAs) and a No-Build Alternative are evaluated in this condensed final EIS. The preferred alternative (DSA 9) would have four 12-foot travel lanes, with a 50-foot median and 12-foot paved inside and outside shoulders. The typical right-of-way would be approximately 280 feet, with additional right-of-way required for interchanges, service roads, and improvements to intersecting roads. In addition, between NC 273 (Southpoint Road) and I-485, there would be an auxiliary lane in each direction. Although not part of the ultimate project, if a fifth and sixth lane are needed in the future, they would be constructed to the inside, resulting in a 26-foot paved median. From west to east, interchanges would be located at I-85, US 29-74, Linwood Road (SR 1133), US 321, Robinson Road (SR 2416), NC 274 (Union Road), NC 279 (South New Hope Road), NC 273 (Southpoint Road), Dixie River Road (SR-1155), and I-485. An interchange at Bud Wilson Road (SR-2423) was proposed for all DSAs in the draft EIS, but was eliminated as part of the preferred alternative. The project would include mainline bridge crossings of Blackwood Creek, an unnamed tributary to Crowders Creek located just east of US 321, Catawba Creek, South Fork Catawba River, and Catawba River. Design refinements to the preferred alternative incorporated since the draft EIS was prepared include modifications to improve access to neighborhoods, reduce impacts, and maintain local connectivity. The mainline design speed is 70 miles per hour (mph), with a planned posted speed limit of 65 mph. Tolls would be collected by an electronic toll collection system that would involve pre-registration and use of a transponder/receiver system that would allow vehicles to move through the toll-collection locations at highway speeds. There would be no cash toll booths. For travelers who do not have a transponder, a video system would capture license plate information and the vehicles registrant would be billed. Total cost of implementing the preferred alternative is estimated at $1.28 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Gaston East-West Connector would improve east-west transportation mobility in the area around the City of Gastonia, between Gastonia and the Charlotte metropolitan area, and particularly to establish direct access between the rapidly growing areas of southeast Gaston County and western Mecklenburg County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the preferred alternative would impact 882 acres of upland forest, 4.1 acres of ponds, 7.5 acres of wetlands, and 38,894 linear feet of perennial streams. Highway right-of-way would cross 91 streams and convert 1,084 acres of prime and important farmland. Destruction of natural communities along the right-of-way would result in the loss of foraging and breeding habitats for various animal species. Right-of-way acquisition would impact 25 neighborhoods and require 348 residential relocations and 37 business relocations. Traffic noise would impact 245 receptors. Construction workers could encounter 21 to 24 hazardous materials sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

AN - 873129638; 14767-1_0028 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a controlled-access toll road extending 22 miles from I-85 west of Gastonia in Gaston County to I-485, near the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport, in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina is proposed. The project is known both as the Gaston East-West Connector and as the Garden Parkway. Limited crossings of the Catawba River constrain travel between Gaston and Mecklenburg Counties; and within southern Gaston County, south of I-85, a lack of connecting east-west roadways makes travel circuitous and limits mobility. Congestion and frequent incidents on I-85 inhibit regional travel and diminish the ability of I-85 to function as a strategic highway corridor and intrastate corridor.

[Part 23 of 29] T2 - GASTON EAST-WEST CONNECTOR PROJECT, I-85 TO I-485 AND NC 160, GASTON AND MECKLENBERG COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 873129548; 14767-1_0023 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a controlled-access toll road extending 22 miles from I-85 west of Gastonia in Gaston County to I-485, near the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport, in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina is proposed. The project is known both as the Gaston East-West Connector and as the Garden Parkway. Limited crossings of the Catawba River constrain travel between Gaston and Mecklenburg Counties; and within southern Gaston County, south of I-85, a lack of connecting east-west roadways makes travel circuitous and limits mobility. Congestion and frequent incidents on I-85 inhibit regional travel and diminish the ability of I-85 to function as a strategic highway corridor and intrastate corridor. Projected growth in southern Gaston County and western Mecklenburg County would further increase demand for accessibility and connectivity between the two counties. Twelve new location detailed study alternatives (DSAs) and a No-Build Alternative are evaluated in this condensed final EIS. The preferred alternative (DSA 9) would have four 12-foot travel lanes, with a 50-foot median and 12-foot paved inside and outside shoulders. The typical right-of-way would be approximately 280 feet, with additional right-of-way required for interchanges, service roads, and improvements to intersecting roads. In addition, between NC 273 (Southpoint Road) and I-485, there would be an auxiliary lane in each direction. Although not part of the ultimate project, if a fifth and sixth lane are needed in the future, they would be constructed to the inside, resulting in a 26-foot paved median. From west to east, interchanges would be located at I-85, US 29-74, Linwood Road (SR 1133), US 321, Robinson Road (SR 2416), NC 274 (Union Road), NC 279 (South New Hope Road), NC 273 (Southpoint Road), Dixie River Road (SR-1155), and I-485. An interchange at Bud Wilson Road (SR-2423) was proposed for all DSAs in the draft EIS, but was eliminated as part of the preferred alternative. The project would include mainline bridge crossings of Blackwood Creek, an unnamed tributary to Crowders Creek located just east of US 321, Catawba Creek, South Fork Catawba River, and Catawba River. Design refinements to the preferred alternative incorporated since the draft EIS was prepared include modifications to improve access to neighborhoods, reduce impacts, and maintain local connectivity. The mainline design speed is 70 miles per hour (mph), with a planned posted speed limit of 65 mph. Tolls would be collected by an electronic toll collection system that would involve pre-registration and use of a transponder/receiver system that would allow vehicles to move through the toll-collection locations at highway speeds. There would be no cash toll booths. For travelers who do not have a transponder, a video system would capture license plate information and the vehicles registrant would be billed. Total cost of implementing the preferred alternative is estimated at $1.28 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Gaston East-West Connector would improve east-west transportation mobility in the area around the City of Gastonia, between Gastonia and the Charlotte metropolitan area, and particularly to establish direct access between the rapidly growing areas of southeast Gaston County and western Mecklenburg County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the preferred alternative would impact 882 acres of upland forest, 4.1 acres of ponds, 7.5 acres of wetlands, and 38,894 linear feet of perennial streams. Highway right-of-way would cross 91 streams and convert 1,084 acres of prime and important farmland. Destruction of natural communities along the right-of-way would result in the loss of foraging and breeding habitats for various animal species. Right-of-way acquisition would impact 25 neighborhoods and require 348 residential relocations and 37 business relocations. Traffic noise would impact 245 receptors. Construction workers could encounter 21 to 24 hazardous materials sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

From west to east, interchanges would be located at I-85, US 29-74, Linwood Road (SR 1133), US 321, Robinson Road (SR 2416), NC 274 (Union Road), NC 279 (South New Hope Road), NC 273 (Southpoint Road), Dixie River Road (SR-1155), and I-485. An interchange at Bud Wilson Road (SR-2423) was proposed for all DSAs in the draft EIS, but was eliminated as part of the preferred alternative. The project would include mainline bridge crossings of Blackwood Creek, an unnamed tributary to Crowders Creek located just east of US 321, Catawba Creek, South Fork Catawba River, and Catawba River. Design refinements to the preferred alternative incorporated since the draft EIS was prepared include modifications to improve access to neighborhoods, reduce impacts, and maintain local connectivity. The mainline design speed is 70 miles per hour (mph), with a planned posted speed limit of 65 mph. Tolls would be collected by an electronic toll collection system that would involve pre-registration and use of a transponder/receiver system that would allow vehicles to move through the toll-collection locations at highway speeds. There would be no cash toll booths. For travelers who do not have a transponder, a video system would capture license plate information and the vehicles registrant would be billed. Total cost of implementing the preferred alternative is estimated at $1.28 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Gaston East-West Connector would improve east-west transportation mobility in the area around the City of Gastonia, between Gastonia and the Charlotte metropolitan area, and particularly to establish direct access between the rapidly growing areas of southeast Gaston County and western Mecklenburg County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the preferred alternative would impact 882 acres of upland forest, 4.1 acres of ponds, 7.5 acres of wetlands, and 38,894 linear feet of perennial streams. Highway right-of-way would cross 91 streams and convert 1,084 acres of prime and important farmland. Destruction of natural communities along the right-of-way would result in the loss of foraging and breeding habitats for various animal species. Right-of-way acquisition would impact 25 neighborhoods and require 348 residential relocations and 37 business relocations. Traffic noise would impact 245 receptors. Construction workers could encounter 21 to 24 hazardous materials sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

AN - 873128530; 14767-1_0019 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a controlled-access toll road extending 22 miles from I-85 west of Gastonia in Gaston County to I-485, near the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport, in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina is proposed. The project is known both as the Gaston East-West Connector and as the Garden Parkway. Limited crossings of the Catawba River constrain travel between Gaston and Mecklenburg Counties; and within southern Gaston County, south of I-85, a lack of connecting east-west roadways makes travel circuitous and limits mobility. Congestion and frequent incidents on I-85 inhibit regional travel and diminish the ability of I-85 to function as a strategic highway corridor and intrastate corridor. Projected growth in southern Gaston County and western Mecklenburg County would further increase demand for accessibility and connectivity between the two counties. Twelve new location detailed study alternatives (DSAs) and a No-Build Alternative are evaluated in this condensed final EIS. The preferred alternative (DSA 9) would have four 12-foot travel lanes, with a 50-foot median and 12-foot paved inside and outside shoulders. The typical right-of-way would be approximately 280 feet, with additional right-of-way required for interchanges, service roads, and improvements to intersecting roads.

[Part 12 of 29] T2 - GASTON EAST-WEST CONNECTOR PROJECT, I-85 TO I-485 AND NC 160, GASTON AND MECKLENBERG COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 873127732; 14767-1_0012 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a controlled-access toll road extending 22 miles from I-85 west of Gastonia in Gaston County to I-485, near the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport, in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina is proposed. The project is known both as the Gaston East-West Connector and as the Garden Parkway. Limited crossings of the Catawba River constrain travel between Gaston and Mecklenburg Counties; and within southern Gaston County, south of I-85, a lack of connecting east-west roadways makes travel circuitous and limits mobility. Congestion and frequent incidents on I-85 inhibit regional travel and diminish the ability of I-85 to function as a strategic highway corridor and intrastate corridor. Projected growth in southern Gaston County and western Mecklenburg County would further increase demand for accessibility and connectivity between the two counties. Twelve new location detailed study alternatives (DSAs) and a No-Build Alternative are evaluated in this condensed final EIS. The preferred alternative (DSA 9) would have four 12-foot travel lanes, with a 50-foot median and 12-foot paved inside and outside shoulders. The typical right-of-way would be approximately 280 feet, with additional right-of-way required for interchanges, service roads, and improvements to intersecting roads. In addition, between NC 273 (Southpoint Road) and I-485, there would be an auxiliary lane in each direction. Although not part of the ultimate project, if a fifth and sixth lane are needed in the future, they would be constructed to the inside, resulting in a 26-foot paved median. From west to east, interchanges would be located at I-85, US 29-74, Linwood Road (SR 1133), US 321, Robinson Road (SR 2416), NC 274 (Union Road), NC 279 (South New Hope Road), NC 273 (Southpoint Road), Dixie River Road (SR-1155), and I-485. An interchange at Bud Wilson Road (SR-2423) was proposed for all DSAs in the draft EIS, but was eliminated as part of the preferred alternative. The project would include mainline bridge crossings of Blackwood Creek, an unnamed tributary to Crowders Creek located just east of US 321, Catawba Creek, South Fork Catawba River, and Catawba River. Design refinements to the preferred alternative incorporated since the draft EIS was prepared include modifications to improve access to neighborhoods, reduce impacts, and maintain local connectivity. The mainline design speed is 70 miles per hour (mph), with a planned posted speed limit of 65 mph. Tolls would be collected by an electronic toll collection system that would involve pre-registration and use of a transponder/receiver system that would allow vehicles to move through the toll-collection locations at highway speeds. There would be no cash toll booths. For travelers who do not have a transponder, a video system would capture license plate information and the vehicles registrant would be billed. Total cost of implementing the preferred alternative is estimated at $1.28 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Gaston East-West Connector would improve east-west transportation mobility in the area around the City of Gastonia, between Gastonia and the Charlotte metropolitan area, and particularly to establish direct access between the rapidly growing areas of southeast Gaston County and western Mecklenburg County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the preferred alternative would impact 882 acres of upland forest, 4.1 acres of ponds, 7.5 acres of wetlands, and 38,894 linear feet of perennial streams. Highway right-of-way would cross 91 streams and convert 1,084 acres of prime and important farmland. Destruction of natural communities along the right-of-way would result in the loss of foraging and breeding habitats for various animal species. Right-of-way acquisition would impact 25 neighborhoods and require 348 residential relocations and 37 business relocations. Traffic noise would impact 245 receptors. Construction workers could encounter 21 to 24 hazardous materials sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

The mainline design speed is 70 miles per hour (mph), with a planned posted speed limit of 65 mph. Tolls would be collected by an electronic toll collection system that would involve pre-registration and use of a transponder/receiver system that would allow vehicles to move through the toll-collection locations at highway speeds. There would be no cash toll booths. For travelers who do not have a transponder, a video system would capture license plate information and the vehicles registrant would be billed. Total cost of implementing the preferred alternative is estimated at $1.28 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Gaston East-West Connector would improve east-west transportation mobility in the area around the City of Gastonia, between Gastonia and the Charlotte metropolitan area, and particularly to establish direct access between the rapidly growing areas of southeast Gaston County and western Mecklenburg County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the preferred alternative would impact 882 acres of upland forest, 4.1 acres of ponds, 7.5 acres of wetlands, and 38,894 linear feet of perennial streams. Highway right-of-way would cross 91 streams and convert 1,084 acres of prime and important farmland. Destruction of natural communities along the right-of-way would result in the loss of foraging and breeding habitats for various animal species. Right-of-way acquisition would impact 25 neighborhoods and require 348 residential relocations and 37 business relocations. Traffic noise would impact 245 receptors. Construction workers could encounter 21 to 24 hazardous materials sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

AN - 873127590; 14767-1_0013 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a controlled-access toll road extending 22 miles from I-85 west of Gastonia in Gaston County to I-485, near the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport, in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina is proposed. The project is known both as the Gaston East-West Connector and as the Garden Parkway. Limited crossings of the Catawba River constrain travel between Gaston and Mecklenburg Counties; and within southern Gaston County, south of I-85, a lack of connecting east-west roadways makes travel circuitous and limits mobility. Congestion and frequent incidents on I-85 inhibit regional travel and diminish the ability of I-85 to function as a strategic highway corridor and intrastate corridor. Projected growth in southern Gaston County and western Mecklenburg County would further increase demand for accessibility and connectivity between the two counties. Twelve new location detailed study alternatives (DSAs) and a No-Build Alternative are evaluated in this condensed final EIS. The preferred alternative (DSA 9) would have four 12-foot travel lanes, with a 50-foot median and 12-foot paved inside and outside shoulders. The typical right-of-way would be approximately 280 feet, with additional right-of-way required for interchanges, service roads, and improvements to intersecting roads. In addition, between NC 273 (Southpoint Road) and I-485, there would be an auxiliary lane in each direction. Although not part of the ultimate project, if a fifth and sixth lane are needed in the future, they would be constructed to the inside, resulting in a 26-foot paved median. From west to east, interchanges would be located at I-85, US 29-74, Linwood Road (SR 1133), US 321, Robinson Road (SR 2416), NC 274 (Union Road), NC 279 (South New Hope Road), NC 273 (Southpoint Road), Dixie River Road (SR-1155), and I-485. An interchange at Bud Wilson Road (SR-2423) was proposed for all DSAs in the draft EIS, but was eliminated as part of the preferred alternative.

[Part 1 of 29] T2 - GASTON EAST-WEST CONNECTOR PROJECT, I-85 TO I-485 AND NC 160, GASTON AND MECKLENBERG COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 873127532; 14767-1_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a controlled-access toll road extending 22 miles from I-85 west of Gastonia in Gaston County to I-485, near the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport, in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina is proposed. The project is known both as the Gaston East-West Connector and as the Garden Parkway. Limited crossings of the Catawba River constrain travel between Gaston and Mecklenburg Counties; and within southern Gaston County, south of I-85, a lack of connecting east-west roadways makes travel circuitous and limits mobility. Congestion and frequent incidents on I-85 inhibit regional travel and diminish the ability of I-85 to function as a strategic highway corridor and intrastate corridor. Projected growth in southern Gaston County and western Mecklenburg County would further increase demand for accessibility and connectivity between the two counties. Twelve new location detailed study alternatives (DSAs) and a No-Build Alternative are evaluated in this condensed final EIS. The preferred alternative (DSA 9) would have four 12-foot travel lanes, with a 50-foot median and 12-foot paved inside and outside shoulders. The typical right-of-way would be approximately 280 feet, with additional right-of-way required for interchanges, service roads, and improvements to intersecting roads. In addition, between NC 273 (Southpoint Road) and I-485, there would be an auxiliary lane in each direction. Although not part of the ultimate project, if a fifth and sixth lane are needed in the future, they would be constructed to the inside, resulting in a 26-foot paved median. From west to east, interchanges would be located at I-85, US 29-74, Linwood Road (SR 1133), US 321, Robinson Road (SR 2416), NC 274 (Union Road), NC 279 (South New Hope Road), NC 273 (Southpoint Road), Dixie River Road (SR-1155), and I-485. An interchange at Bud Wilson Road (SR-2423) was proposed for all DSAs in the draft EIS, but was eliminated as part of the preferred alternative. The project would include mainline bridge crossings of Blackwood Creek, an unnamed tributary to Crowders Creek located just east of US 321, Catawba Creek, South Fork Catawba River, and Catawba River. Design refinements to the preferred alternative incorporated since the draft EIS was prepared include modifications to improve access to neighborhoods, reduce impacts, and maintain local connectivity. The mainline design speed is 70 miles per hour (mph), with a planned posted speed limit of 65 mph. Tolls would be collected by an electronic toll collection system that would involve pre-registration and use of a transponder/receiver system that would allow vehicles to move through the toll-collection locations at highway speeds. There would be no cash toll booths. For travelers who do not have a transponder, a video system would capture license plate information and the vehicles registrant would be billed. Total cost of implementing the preferred alternative is estimated at $1.28 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Gaston East-West Connector would improve east-west transportation mobility in the area around the City of Gastonia, between Gastonia and the Charlotte metropolitan area, and particularly to establish direct access between the rapidly growing areas of southeast Gaston County and western Mecklenburg County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the preferred alternative would impact 882 acres of upland forest, 4.1 acres of ponds, 7.5 acres of wetlands, and 38,894 linear feet of perennial streams. Highway right-of-way would cross 91 streams and convert 1,084 acres of prime and important farmland. Destruction of natural communities along the right-of-way would result in the loss of foraging and breeding habitats for various animal species. Right-of-way acquisition would impact 25 neighborhoods and require 348 residential relocations and 37 business relocations. Traffic noise would impact 245 receptors. Construction workers could encounter 21 to 24 hazardous materials sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

Design refinements to the preferred alternative incorporated since the draft EIS was prepared include modifications to improve access to neighborhoods, reduce impacts, and maintain local connectivity. The mainline design speed is 70 miles per hour (mph), with a planned posted speed limit of 65 mph. Tolls would be collected by an electronic toll collection system that would involve pre-registration and use of a transponder/receiver system that would allow vehicles to move through the toll-collection locations at highway speeds. There would be no cash toll booths. For travelers who do not have a transponder, a video system would capture license plate information and the vehicles registrant would be billed. Total cost of implementing the preferred alternative is estimated at $1.28 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Gaston East-West Connector would improve east-west transportation mobility in the area around the City of Gastonia, between Gastonia and the Charlotte metropolitan area, and particularly to establish direct access between the rapidly growing areas of southeast Gaston County and western Mecklenburg County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the preferred alternative would impact 882 acres of upland forest, 4.1 acres of ponds, 7.5 acres of wetlands, and 38,894 linear feet of perennial streams. Highway right-of-way would cross 91 streams and convert 1,084 acres of prime and important farmland. Destruction of natural communities along the right-of-way would result in the loss of foraging and breeding habitats for various animal species. Right-of-way acquisition would impact 25 neighborhoods and require 348 residential relocations and 37 business relocations. Traffic noise would impact 245 receptors. Construction workers could encounter 21 to 24 hazardous materials sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

[Part 13 of 15] T2 - FUTURE I-70 KANSAS CITY METRO PROJECT, KANSAS CITY, JACKSON COUNTY, MISSOURI (FIRST TIER CONDENSED FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT). AN - 873127659; 14761-5_0013 AB - PURPOSE: Improvement of the Interstate 70 (I-70) corridor from the Kansas state line to east of I-470, including the Kansas City downtown loop, in Jackson County, Missouri is proposed. The 18-mile I-70 corridor and the entire downtown loop are vital to serving regional transportation needs and I-70 in the Kansas City metropolitan area (KC Metro) is also the main artery for traffic bound for major cities and towns in Missouri and the adjacent states of Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Illinois. I-70 is a four-lane or six-lane divided and fully access-controlled interstate facility. The study area includes all land within 100 feet of the existing highway right-of-way along the corridor and within 300 feet of the existing highway right-of-way at interchanges along I-70. An expanded study area consisting of 1,000 feet on either side of the highway including the downtown loop is being evaluated for land use and socioeconomic studies. In the five year period 2003 to 2007, 20 crashes within the study area involved a fatality. Crash rates between 2003 to 2007 exceeded 150 percent of the statewide average at the downtown loop, westbound from the Benton curve to the downtown loop, eastbound from the Jackson curve to I-435, and at the I-435 interchange. A No Build strategy and three build strategies are evaluated in this first tier condensed final EIS. For the second tier studies, the portion of I-70 under analysis here will be divided into sections of independent utility. The No Build Strategy would include maintenance activities and projects already committed as part of the statewide transportation improvement program. The Improve Key Bottlenecks strategy would include: 1) rebuilding and/or rehabilitating I-70 and the entire downtown loop with a design life of 30 to 50 years; 2) downtown loop lane balance improvements; 3) improved interchanges by addressing ramp lengths, merge areas, weave sections, and bicycle/pedestrian access; 4) interchange additions, consolidations, modifications, or eliminations to improve traffic flow and safety; 5) improvement of the Jackson and Benton curves; 6) rebuilding the I-70/I-435 interchange to provide six lanes on I-70 and six lanes on I-435 through the interchange; 7) the addition of collector distributor roads on I-70 and I-470 through the I-70/I-470 interchange; 8) integrate Operation Green Light on parallel routes; 9) improve incident management response times; and 10) enhanced I-70 express bus service, bus transit on shoulder, and park and ride lots. The Add General Lanes strategy would include the actions of the Improve Key Bottlenecks strategy and would: rehabilitate and/or rebuild I-70 with four lanes in each direction from the downtown loop to I-470; upgrade the Truman Road interchange; rebuild the I-70/I-435 interchange to provide eight lanes on I-70 and six lanes on I-435 through the interchange; and add directional ramps in the southeast and southwest corners of the downtown loop. The Transportation Improvement Corridor Strategy would include all of the parts of the Improve Key Bottlenecks Strategy plus a dedicated transportation corridor between the downtown loop and I-470. The transportation improvement corridor could be located between the eastbound and westbound lanes or on one side of the I-70 corridor. As currently proposed, the transportation improvement corridor would be barrier-separated from the regular traffic lanes. The transportation improvement corridor could be used for congestion-managed lanes, reversible lanes, high occupancy vehicle lanes, or bus lanes. The preferred strategy is the Improve Key Bottlenecks Strategy from the downtown loop to east of I-435. The preferred strategy from east of I-435 to I-470 is either the Improve Key Bottlenecks Strategy or the Add General Lanes Strategy. That decision will be left open to the second tier studies. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvement strategy would reduce crash rates, remove key bottlenecks, reduce the potential for ramp back-up onto the freeway, improve multi-modal travel times, restore and maintain bridge and pavement conditions, increase safe access across I-70 and the downtown loop for non-motorized travel, and improve the efficiency of freight movement. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the preferred strategy would require the relocation of 228 single-family homes, 19 multi-family buildings, 67 businesses, and four community facilities, based upon the widest strategy footprint carried forward. Three downtown parks could be affected. Impervious surface, rainwater runoff, and noise levels are expected to increase. The build strategies could have adverse effects, including increased noise, on minorities and low-income persons living along the corridor.

[Part 2 of 15] T2 - FUTURE I-70 KANSAS CITY METRO PROJECT, KANSAS CITY, JACKSON COUNTY, MISSOURI (FIRST TIER CONDENSED FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT). AN - 873127638; 14761-5_0002 AB - PURPOSE: Improvement of the Interstate 70 (I-70) corridor from the Kansas state line to east of I-470, including the Kansas City downtown loop, in Jackson County, Missouri is proposed. The 18-mile I-70 corridor and the entire downtown loop are vital to serving regional transportation needs and I-70 in the Kansas City metropolitan area (KC Metro) is also the main artery for traffic bound for major cities and towns in Missouri and the adjacent states of Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Illinois. I-70 is a four-lane or six-lane divided and fully access-controlled interstate facility. The study area includes all land within 100 feet of the existing highway right-of-way along the corridor and within 300 feet of the existing highway right-of-way at interchanges along I-70. An expanded study area consisting of 1,000 feet on either side of the highway including the downtown loop is being evaluated for land use and socioeconomic studies. In the five year period 2003 to 2007, 20 crashes within the study area involved a fatality. Crash rates between 2003 to 2007 exceeded 150 percent of the statewide average at the downtown loop, westbound from the Benton curve to the downtown loop, eastbound from the Jackson curve to I-435, and at the I-435 interchange. A No Build strategy and three build strategies are evaluated in this first tier condensed final EIS. For the second tier studies, the portion of I-70 under analysis here will be divided into sections of independent utility. The No Build Strategy would include maintenance activities and projects already committed as part of the statewide transportation improvement program. The Improve Key Bottlenecks strategy would include: 1) rebuilding and/or rehabilitating I-70 and the entire downtown loop with a design life of 30 to 50 years; 2) downtown loop lane balance improvements; 3) improved interchanges by addressing ramp lengths, merge areas, weave sections, and bicycle/pedestrian access; 4) interchange additions, consolidations, modifications, or eliminations to improve traffic flow and safety; 5) improvement of the Jackson and Benton curves; 6) rebuilding the I-70/I-435 interchange to provide six lanes on I-70 and six lanes on I-435 through the interchange; 7) the addition of collector distributor roads on I-70 and I-470 through the I-70/I-470 interchange; 8) integrate Operation Green Light on parallel routes; 9) improve incident management response times; and 10) enhanced I-70 express bus service, bus transit on shoulder, and park and ride lots. The Add General Lanes strategy would include the actions of the Improve Key Bottlenecks strategy and would: rehabilitate and/or rebuild I-70 with four lanes in each direction from the downtown loop to I-470; upgrade the Truman Road interchange; rebuild the I-70/I-435 interchange to provide eight lanes on I-70 and six lanes on I-435 through the interchange; and add directional ramps in the southeast and southwest corners of the downtown loop. The Transportation Improvement Corridor Strategy would include all of the parts of the Improve Key Bottlenecks Strategy plus a dedicated transportation corridor between the downtown loop and I-470. The transportation improvement corridor could be located between the eastbound and westbound lanes or on one side of the I-70 corridor. As currently proposed, the transportation improvement corridor would be barrier-separated from the regular traffic lanes. The transportation improvement corridor could be used for congestion-managed lanes, reversible lanes, high occupancy vehicle lanes, or bus lanes. The preferred strategy is the Improve Key Bottlenecks Strategy from the downtown loop to east of I-435. The preferred strategy from east of I-435 to I-470 is either the Improve Key Bottlenecks Strategy or the Add General Lanes Strategy. That decision will be left open to the second tier studies. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvement strategy would reduce crash rates, remove key bottlenecks, reduce the potential for ramp back-up onto the freeway, improve multi-modal travel times, restore and maintain bridge and pavement conditions, increase safe access across I-70 and the downtown loop for non-motorized travel, and improve the efficiency of freight movement. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the preferred strategy would require the relocation of 228 single-family homes, 19 multi-family buildings, 67 businesses, and four community facilities, based upon the widest strategy footprint carried forward. Three downtown parks could be affected. Impervious surface, rainwater runoff, and noise levels are expected to increase. The build strategies could have adverse effects, including increased noise, on minorities and low-income persons living along the corridor.

An expanded study area consisting of 1,000 feet on either side of the highway including the downtown loop is being evaluated for land use and socioeconomic studies. In the five year period 2003 to 2007, 20 crashes within the study area involved a fatality. Crash rates between 2003 to 2007 exceeded 150 percent of the statewide average at the downtown loop, westbound from the Benton curve to the downtown loop, eastbound from the Jackson curve to I-435, and at the I-435 interchange. A No Build strategy and three build strategies are evaluated in this first tier condensed final EIS. For the second tier studies, the portion of I-70 under analysis here will be divided into sections of independent utility. The No Build Strategy would include maintenance activities and projects already committed as part of the statewide transportation improvement program. The Improve Key Bottlenecks strategy would include: 1) rebuilding and/or rehabilitating I-70 and the entire downtown loop with a design life of 30 to 50 years; 2) downtown loop lane balance improvements; 3) improved interchanges by addressing ramp lengths, merge areas, weave sections, and bicycle/pedestrian access; 4) interchange additions, consolidations, modifications, or eliminations to improve traffic flow and safety; 5) improvement of the Jackson and Benton curves; 6) rebuilding the I-70/I-435 interchange to provide six lanes on I-70 and six lanes on I-435 through the interchange; 7) the addition of collector distributor roads on I-70 and I-470 through the I-70/I-470 interchange; 8) integrate Operation Green Light on parallel routes; 9) improve incident management response times; and 10) enhanced I-70 express bus service, bus transit on shoulder, and park and ride lots. The Add General Lanes strategy would include the actions of the Improve Key Bottlenecks strategy and would: rehabilitate and/or rebuild I-70 with four lanes in each direction from the downtown loop to I-470; upgrade the Truman Road interchange; rebuild the I-70/I-435 interchange to provide eight lanes on I-70 and six lanes on I-435 through the interchange; and add directional ramps in the southeast and southwest corners of the downtown loop. The Transportation Improvement Corridor Strategy would include all of the parts of the Improve Key Bottlenecks Strategy plus a dedicated transportation corridor between the downtown loop and I-470. The transportation improvement corridor could be located between the eastbound and westbound lanes or on one side of the I-70 corridor. As currently proposed, the transportation improvement corridor would be barrier-separated from the regular traffic lanes. The transportation improvement corridor could be used for congestion-managed lanes, reversible lanes, high occupancy vehicle lanes, or bus lanes. The preferred strategy is the Improve Key Bottlenecks Strategy from the downtown loop to east of I-435. The preferred strategy from east of I-435 to I-470 is either the Improve Key Bottlenecks Strategy or the Add General Lanes Strategy. That decision will be left open to the second tier studies. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvement strategy would reduce crash rates, remove key bottlenecks, reduce the potential for ramp back-up onto the freeway, improve multi-modal travel times, restore and maintain bridge and pavement conditions, increase safe access across I-70 and the downtown loop for non-motorized travel, and improve the efficiency of freight movement. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the preferred strategy would require the relocation of 228 single-family homes, 19 multi-family buildings, 67 businesses, and four community facilities, based upon the widest strategy footprint carried forward. Three downtown parks could be affected. Impervious surface, rainwater runoff, and noise levels are expected to increase. The build strategies could have adverse effects, including increased noise, on minorities and low-income persons living along the corridor.

NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the preferred strategy would require the relocation of 228 single-family homes, 19 multi-family buildings, 67 businesses, and four community facilities, based upon the widest strategy footprint carried forward. Three downtown parks could be affected. Impervious surface, rainwater runoff, and noise levels are expected to increase. The build strategies could have adverse effects, including increased noise, on minorities and low-income persons living along the corridor.

AN - 873127060; 14761-5_0004 AB - PURPOSE: Improvement of the Interstate 70 (I-70) corridor from the Kansas state line to east of I-470, including the Kansas City downtown loop, in Jackson County, Missouri is proposed. The 18-mile I-70 corridor and the entire downtown loop are vital to serving regional transportation needs and I-70 in the Kansas City metropolitan area (KC Metro) is also the main artery for traffic bound for major cities and towns in Missouri and the adjacent states of Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Illinois. I-70 is a four-lane or six-lane divided and fully access-controlled interstate facility. The study area includes all land within 100 feet of the existing highway right-of-way along the corridor and within 300 feet of the existing highway right-of-way at interchanges along I-70. An expanded study area consisting of 1,000 feet on either side of the highway including the downtown loop is being evaluated for land use and socioeconomic studies. In the five year period 2003 to 2007, 20 crashes within the study area involved a fatality. Crash rates between 2003 to 2007 exceeded 150 percent of the statewide average at the downtown loop, westbound from the Benton curve to the downtown loop, eastbound from the Jackson curve to I-435, and at the I-435 interchange. A No Build strategy and three build strategies are evaluated in this first tier condensed final EIS. For the second tier studies, the portion of I-70 under analysis here will be divided into sections of independent utility. The No Build Strategy would include maintenance activities and projects already committed as part of the statewide transportation improvement program. The Improve Key Bottlenecks strategy would include: 1) rebuilding and/or rehabilitating I-70 and the entire downtown loop with a design life of 30 to 50 years; 2) downtown loop lane balance improvements; 3) improved interchanges by addressing ramp lengths, merge areas, weave sections, and bicycle/pedestrian access; 4) interchange additions, consolidations, modifications, or eliminations to improve traffic flow and safety; 5) improvement of the Jackson and Benton curves; 6) rebuilding the I-70/I-435 interchange to provide six lanes on I-70 and six lanes on I-435 through the interchange; 7) the addition of collector distributor roads on I-70 and I-470 through the I-70/I-470 interchange; 8) integrate Operation Green Light on parallel routes; 9) improve incident management response times; and 10) enhanced I-70 express bus service, bus transit on shoulder, and park and ride lots. The Add General Lanes strategy would include the actions of the Improve Key Bottlenecks strategy and would: rehabilitate and/or rebuild I-70 with four lanes in each direction from the downtown loop to I-470; upgrade the Truman Road interchange; rebuild the I-70/I-435 interchange to provide eight lanes on I-70 and six lanes on I-435 through the interchange; and add directional ramps in the southeast and southwest corners of the downtown loop. The Transportation Improvement Corridor Strategy would include all of the parts of the Improve Key Bottlenecks Strategy plus a dedicated transportation corridor between the downtown loop and I-470. The transportation improvement corridor could be located between the eastbound and westbound lanes or on one side of the I-70 corridor. As currently proposed, the transportation improvement corridor would be barrier-separated from the regular traffic lanes. The transportation improvement corridor could be used for congestion-managed lanes, reversible lanes, high occupancy vehicle lanes, or bus lanes. The preferred strategy is the Improve Key Bottlenecks Strategy from the downtown loop to east of I-435.

AN - 873127342; 14759-3_0005 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a new highway between State Route 36 (SR-36) and Interstate 80 (I-80) in Tooele County, Utah is proposed. The project study area is located in the Tooele Valley with Sheep Lane roadway to the west and SR-36 to the east. Development trends and plans within Tooele Valley include large-scale residential and commercial expansion within the next five to ten years in Tooele City, Erda Township, Stansbury Park, Lake Point, and Eastern Grantsville. The population in the valley is projected to triple by the design year 2030. Since the mid-1990's, five major studies or plans have identified the need for increased capacity due to increased travel demand. Traffic analyses indicate that by 2030, SR-36, the main north-south route in the project study area will become heavily congested and fail if no improvements are made. The existing I-80 Lake Point interchange will also fail. Three alternatives, including a No Build Alternative, are presented in this abbreviated final EIS. The Midvalley Highway West Alternative with Option B is the preferred alternative and would include the following elements: a four lane arterial between SR-36 and SR-112; a four lane freeway between SR-112 and I-80; a re-alignment of SR-138 at Sheep Lane; interchanges with the proposed freeway at I-80, SR-138, and 1000 North, as well as the planned 3400 North (future parkway); structures over the Union Pacific Railroad tracks, Erda Way, Sheep Lane, and the Midvalley Trail; and at-grade intersections with SR-112 and SR-36. Due to funding constraints, the Midvalley Highway may be constructed in phases. One scenario would be to build the full project as two arterials, later expanding to a freeway when necessary. Another phasing strategy would be to build the project by segments. The northern segment between SR-138 and I-80 may be constructed first, followed by the southern arterial segment between SR-36 and SR-112, with the segment between SR-112 and SR-138 constructed last. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Project implementation would provide increased north-south transportation capacity and thereby reduce anticipated congestion on SR-36 and at the Lake Point interchange with I-80. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the preferred alternative would require right-of-way acquisition of 577 acres including194 acres of agricultural lands and 6.7 acres of wetlands. One residential relocation could be required.

AN - 873127330; 14759-3_0003 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a new highway between State Route 36 (SR-36) and Interstate 80 (I-80) in Tooele County, Utah is proposed. The project study area is located in the Tooele Valley with Sheep Lane roadway to the west and SR-36 to the east. Development trends and plans within Tooele Valley include large-scale residential and commercial expansion within the next five to ten years in Tooele City, Erda Township, Stansbury Park, Lake Point, and Eastern Grantsville. The population in the valley is projected to triple by the design year 2030. Since the mid-1990's, five major studies or plans have identified the need for increased capacity due to increased travel demand. Traffic analyses indicate that by 2030, SR-36, the main north-south route in the project study area will become heavily congested and fail if no improvements are made. The existing I-80 Lake Point interchange will also fail. Three alternatives, including a No Build Alternative, are presented in this abbreviated final EIS. The Midvalley Highway West Alternative with Option B is the preferred alternative and would include the following elements: a four lane arterial between SR-36 and SR-112; a four lane freeway between SR-112 and I-80; a re-alignment of SR-138 at Sheep Lane; interchanges with the proposed freeway at I-80, SR-138, and 1000 North, as well as the planned 3400 North (future parkway); structures over the Union Pacific Railroad tracks, Erda Way, Sheep Lane, and the Midvalley Trail; and at-grade intersections with SR-112 and SR-36. Due to funding constraints, the Midvalley Highway may be constructed in phases. One scenario would be to build the full project as two arterials, later expanding to a freeway when necessary. Another phasing strategy would be to build the project by segments. The northern segment between SR-138 and I-80 may be constructed first, followed by the southern arterial segment between SR-36 and SR-112, with the segment between SR-112 and SR-138 constructed last. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Project implementation would provide increased north-south transportation capacity and thereby reduce anticipated congestion on SR-36 and at the Lake Point interchange with I-80.

AN - 853675523; 14758 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a new four-mile highway to improve mobility between the municipality of Cidra and the Puerto Rico Strategic Highway Network (PRSHN) is proposed. The project area is in the municipalities of Cidra and Cayey, both of which are located in the mountain ranges of the central eastern region of Puerto Rico, approximately 22 and 25 miles to the south south-west of San Juan, respectively. Both municipalities encompass sensitive natural resource areas and habitat for the endangered Puerto Rican plain pigeon. Cidra has experienced considerable population growth within its urban and suburban township boundaries. Private cars are the principal mode of transportation and the main access to Cidra from the PRSHN is along secondary road PR-172, which connects the PR-52 expressway to Cidra central business district. From PR-52 to La Sierra Sector, PR-172 is a four-lane road characterized by steep slopes, small radius horizontal curves, poor drainage, and absence of pavement markings. From La Sierra Sector to Cidra central business district, PR-172 is a four-lane road with small radius horizontal curves, poor drainage, and absence of pavement markings. The poor roadway geometry contributes to unsafe conditions which are exacerbated when heavy freight traffic utilizes the road. PR-172 is classified as one of the most dangerous roads in Puerto Rico, averaging over three fatalities per year since 2000. In addition to a No Action Alternative, five alignments for new route construction are evaluated in this draft EIS. Current land uses along the new road alternative corridors is predominately rural residential, secondary forest, and pasture zones. Under the build alternatives, a new four-lane road would be constructed beginning at the intersection of PR-7733 and the entrance to the Cidra Industrial Park and ending at three different locations along PR-52. New intersections would be constructed at existing roads. For alternatives C1, C2, and C3, the intersection of PR-1 with PR-184 in Cayey and the intersection of PR-7733 and the industrial entrance in Cidra would be converted to four leg intersections. Alternative C4 would require three new intersections with the new connector at PR-7733, PR-1, and PR-52. Alternative C5 would require an additional intersection at PR-743. Alternative C3, which is the preferred alternative, would require construction of five overpasses or underpasses across existing roads, but would not require bridges over water bodies. Estimated capital costs of the build alternatives range from $117.7 million for Alternative C3 to $141.4 million for Alternative C5. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A new road would improve transportation safety, eliminate congestion, and provide greater levels of service. Improved mobility would enhance economic development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction impacts would include traffic detours, temporary deterioration of air quality, increased noise and vibration, increased sedimentation and turbidity in water bodies, and temporary diversion of streams and rivers during placement of culverts and bridge piers. Project right-of-way requirements would involve 17 to 31 stream crossings and would impact 87.4 to 126.3 acres of forest, 5.8 to 13.0 acres of wetlands, and 264 to 349 acres of Puerto Rican plain pigeon habitat. Identified pre-Columbian and colonial archaeological resources could be affected. Acquisition of 54 to 69 residential structures and up to seven commercial structures would be required.

Preparation date: January 5, 2011 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - The shallow stratigraphy and sand resources offshore of the Mississippi barrier islands AN - 913702960; 2012-009796 AB - Coastal Mississippi is protected by a series of barrier islands ranging in length from 10-25 kilometers that are less than 2 kilometers wide. The majority of these islands comprise the Gulf Islands National Seashore (GUIS), an ecologically diverse shoreline that provides habitat for wildlife including migratory birds and endangered animals. The majority of GUIS is submerged, and aquatic environments include dynamic tidal inlets, ebb-tide deltas, and seagrass beds. The islands are in a state of decline, with land areas severely reduced during the past century by storms, sea-level rise, and human alteration. Morton (2008) estimates that since the mid-1800s up to 64 percent of island surface area has been lost. Heavy damage was inflicted in 2005 by Hurricane Katrina, which passed by as a Category 3 storm and battered the islands with winds of more than 160 kilometers per hour and a storm surge up to 9 meters. Since 2007, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in collaboration with the National Park Service, has been mapping the seafloor and substrate around the islands as part of the USGS Northern Gulf of Mexico Ecosystem Change and Hazard Susceptibility project. The purpose of these investigations is to characterize the near-surface stratigraphy and identify the influence it may have on island evolution and fate. In 2009, this effort provided the basis for a collaborative effort with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to expand the investigation outside of GUIS boundaries as part of the Mississippi Coastal Improvement Project (MsCIP). The MsCIP program consists of structural, nonstructural, and environmental project elements to restore portions of coastal Mississippi and GUIS affected by storm impact. The project includes the placement of sand along the islands, both on the present beaches and within the littoral zone, to mitigate shoreline erosion and breaching. This action requires the location and assessment of offshore sand or sediment deposits that can provide suitable material for shoreline renourishment. The geophysical and sample information collected by the USGS during geologic investigations provides this information. As part of the MsCIP program, in March 2010 the USGS mapped approximately 300 square kilometers of seafloor around GUIS. Interferometric swath bathymetry, sidescan sonar, and Chirp sub-bottom profiling were used to characterize seafloor elevations, texture, and the underlying stratigraphy. On the basis of this information, potential sediment resources were identified. The most promising offshore deposits for beach restoration include shoals, lowstand valley fill, tidal delta deposits, abandoned barrier deposits, and dredge spoil. Of these, lowstand valley fill deposits and dredge spoil are less desirable; lowstand deposits are buried under a 2- to 4-meter blanket of mud, and dredge spoil volume is small. A relict tidal delta and submerged shoals are the most desirable deposits; the tidal delta contains a large volume of material still exposed on the seafloor, and parts of submerged shoals have modest volume and thin mud cover.

N and P transport was investigated in runoff from compost mulch berms made from various organic waste materials in combination with each other and with soil on a simulated military training landscape in north Alabama in 2007 and 2008. Berms were constructed using composted municipal yard waste (YW), wood chips (WC), pine bark fines (PB), and soil (SL) mixed in eight different proportions. Berms made from 100% soil which had a cumulative runoff PO4-P content of 12 mg L-1 posed the greatest threat of negatively impacting the environment from inorganic P transport. Using compost mulch material with 40% soil to build berms reduced the potential for yard waste and wood chips to cause off-site negative environmental impacts from total dissolved solids, N, and P transport. Berms made from 100% pine bark fines which had cumulative runoff values of 760, 9, 22 and 5 mg L -1, respectively, of TDS, NH4-N, NO3-N, and PO 4-P had the least potential to cause negative off-site environmental impact. To prevent negative impacts of nutrient transport in runoff from berms on training landscapes, the sites need to be well buffered to hydrologically isolate them from adjoining ecosystems.

For shallow Half Moon Lake, Wisconsin, the Al:P ratio varied in a negative exponential pattern as a function of increasing redox-P concentration. While more Al was needed to inactivate higher concentrations of redox-P, inactivation was more efficient at higher redox-P. The Al:P ratio needed to bind 90% of the redox-P exceeded 150:1 for redox-P concentrations 2.0 mg/g. Competition for binding sites by other constituents in relation to redox-P concentration may be responsible for this pattern. Although organically bound P was not important in Half Moon Lake, it may be in other cases, and lake specific assays are recommended to determine the most appropriate Al dosage. Even then, slower processes of P release from labile organic P and vertical diffusion may not be addressed by higher Al dosages, and more research is warranted. Because redox-P varied horizontally as a result of lake bathymetry, variations in the Al:P ratio were considered for lake-wide alum dose calculation for Half Moon Lake. The estimated lake-wide average dosage of 115 g Al/m2 was high but similar to other recent effective treatments reported in the literature.

Formulas for armor stability and damage progression have been developed and are widely used for practical applications. However, none of the formulas accounts for the water depth at the toe of the structure explicitly. An alternative approach based on the maximum wave momentum flux at the toe of the structure is proposed in this article. Equations for sizing stable armor stone for constant incident waves and water level are proposed and calibrated using available data. Equations are also developed for determining damage progression in a life-cycle analysis involving varying wave and water level characteristics. The developed equations are calibrated using the damage progression tests conducted previously by the authors and verified using an additional 10 tests conducted for this article.

The present study was conducted to investigate the desorption and transformation of explosive compounds loaded onto three soils through controlled detonation. The soils were proximally detonated with Composition B, a commonly used military explosive containing 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), and octahydro 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX). Gas-exchangeable surface areas were measured from pristine and detonated soils. Aqueous batches of detonated soils were prepared by mixing each soil with ultrapure water. Samples were collected for 141 d and concentrations of Composition B compounds and TNT transformation products 2-amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene (2ADNT), 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene (4ADNT), and 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (1,3,5-TNB) were measured. The RDX, HMX, and TNT concentrations in detonated soil batches exhibited first-order physical desorption for the first, roughly, 10 d and then reached steady state apparent equilibrium within 40 d. An aqueous batch containing powdered Composition B in water was sampled over time to quantify TNT, RDX, and HMX dissolution from undetonated Composition B particles. The TNT, RDX, and HMX concentrations in aqueous batches of pure Composition B reached equilibrium within 6, 11, and 20 d, respectively. Detonated soils exhibited lower gas-exchangeable surface areas than their pristine counterparts. This is likely due to an explosive residue coating on detonated soil surfaces, shock-induced compaction, sintering, and/or partial fusion of soil particles under the intense heat associated with detonation. Our results suggest that explosive compounds loaded to soils through detonation take longer to reach equilibrium concentrations in aqueous batches than soils loaded with explosive residues through aqueous addition. This is likely due to the heterogeneous interactions between explosive residues and soil particle surfaces.

Flow thickness and velocity were combined to estimate time series of the instantaneous discharge. Comparisons of the calculated overtopping discharge time series at the two locations revealed that the time series of instantaneous discharge was the same at both locations with the only difference being a short phase lag. Individual peaks of the discharge time series were examined, and an empirical expression was determined for the root-mean-squared discharge peak. The largest discharge peaks were overestimated by the Rayleigh distribution. For locations on the landward-side slope where the friction slope is approximately the same as the levee slope, it is possible to derive a stream power probability density function based on the overtopping discharge cumulative exceedance probability. The stream power probability density function may be a useful tool for assessing erosion potential of overtopped earthen levees.

Superstructure icing from sea spray and atmospheric icing in the Arctic may impact offshore platform operations. Though icing has not caused the loss of an offshore platform, it can reduce safety, operational tempo, and productivity. Historically, many ice protection technologies were tested on offshore platforms with little success. However, new technologies and modern versions of old technologies used successfully in aviation, the electric power industry, and ground transportation systems, may be adapted to an offshore environment. This paper provides a framework for assessing the relative threat of ice accumulation types, such as superstructure ice, glaze, rime, frost, and snow, to the safety of platform functions.

Since older infrastructures seem to be more susceptible to piping and seepage failure, their construction design should be analyzed and monitored at places where a potential problem could occur. Once an impoundment is constructed without adequate filters layers and foundation treatments, then the prevention of piping or seepage may require an effective approach to constructing a cut-off wall to prevent eventual failure. In order to identify and understand theses failure modes, it is important to identify the physical parameters of the impoundment system, such as the zones of various soil gradations, the compaction of these zones, the hydraulic conductivity, the compatibility of the soil formations within and beneath the core or liner, as well as the cohesive and dispersive properties of soils at various location within the structure. Once these parameters are known and quantified, an adequate assessment of the structure's susceptibility to piping or contaminant transport can be established. This type of an analysis will enable the proper design of a cut-off wall and predetermine the effectiveness of its long-term performance. The Vermont Waterbury Dam (built in 1938) is example of seepage related problem that implemented a cut-off wall design to prevent piping paths from undermining the structure. In this case, some forensic sampling had to be performed and the parameters of the soils as just mentioned were key factors in determining the wall design. In this paper, the Waterbury dam rehabilitation is investigated as case studies, in order to better understand how older designs and poor construction of impoundments can lead to piping condition in dams as well as failures in waste barrier systems. The Secant Cut-off wall (constructed at Waterbury Dam) is mentioned as a corrective measure taken for this dam and there is a brief discussion as to how this construction rehabilitation technique can be applied to waste barrier impoundments.

In addition, traditional ADF deicing fluids are harmful to helicopter components, and cannot be used for deicing helicopters. Infrared energy is a potential alternative to ADF. However, excessive infrared heating of the laminated composite helicopter blades during deicing could result in blade failure. This report investigates infrared deicing physical processes through experimentation and found excessive infrared heating of the ice substrate is only an issue when the ice thickness is less than 1mm. In addition, this report evaluates IR heater designs for optimizing deicing and recommends future development that may allow hybrid infrared systems to reduce ADF use.

The application of reverse engineering complex interaction networks from high dimensional omics data (gene, protein, metabolic, signaling) can be used to overcome these limitations. This approach was used to characterize adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) for chemicals that disrupt the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal endocrine axis in fathead minnows (FHM, Pimephales promelas). Gene expression changes in FHM ovaries in response to seven different chemicals, over different times, doses, and in vivo versus in vitro conditions, were captured in a large data set of 868 arrays. Potential AOPs of the antiandrogen flutamide were examined using two mutual information-based methods to infer gene regulatory networks and potential AOPs. Representative networks from these studies were used to predict network paths from stressor to adverse outcome as candidate AOPs. The relationship of individual chemicals to an adverse outcome can be determined by following perturbations through the network in response to chemical treatment, thus leading to the nodes associated with the adverse outcome. Identification of candidate pathways allows for formation of testable hypotheses about key biological processes, biomarkers, or alternative endpoints that can be used to monitor an AOP. Finally, the unique challenges facing the application of this approach in ecotoxicology were identified and a road map for the utilization of these tools presented.

Three of the 11 matting systems were also evaluated under the same loading conditions over soft, fine-grained subgrades. Matting product types included high-density polyethylene, aluminum, fiberglass, and polyester. System installation methods included continuous rolls of material, segmented rolls, and connection of individual panels. The matting products were assembled in test sections of various sizes, which depended on individual panel dimensions and product availability. The mats were trafficked with a 7-ton, six-wheeled U.S. Marine Corps transport truck loaded with a 7-ton payload until 20% of the mat section was no longer reusable or 2,000 truck passes were achieved. Earth pressure cells were installed under nine of the sand test sections to monitor load distributions provided by the matting systems. On the basis of the test results, recommendations are given for selecting the best roadway matting system types for use on low-volume roads with sand or soft, fine-grained subgrades.

We used data from an urbanized catchment, the 14.3 km (super 2) Dead Run watershed near Baltimore, Maryland, USA, and the physics-based gridded surface/subsurface hydrologic analysis (GSSHA) model to examine the relative effect of each of these factors on flood peaks, runoff volumes, and runoff production efficiencies. GSSHA was used because the model explicitly includes the spatial variability of land-surface and hydrodynamic parameters, including subsurface storm drains. Results indicate that increases in drainage density, particularly increases in density from low values, produce significant increases in the flood peaks. For a fixed land-use and rainfall input, the flood magnitude approaches an upper limit regardless of the increase in the channel drainage density. Changes in imperviousness can have a significant effect on flood peaks for both moderately extreme and extreme storms. For an extreme rainfall event with a recurrence interval in excess of 100 years, imperviousness is relatively unimportant in terms of runoff efficiency and volume, but can affect the peak flow depending on rainfall rate. Changes to the width function affect flood peaks much more than runoff efficiency, primarily in the case of lower density drainage networks with less impermeable area. Storm drains increase flood peaks, but are overwhelmed during extreme rainfall events when they have a negligible effect. Runoff in urbanized watersheds with considerable impervious area shows a marked sensitivity to rainfall rate. This sensitivity explains some of the contradictory findings in the literature.

Four flume experiments were conducted with tracer materials to examine how a sand pulse infiltrates into a gravel bed. These experiments were primarily designed to test two hypotheses: (1) that vertical gradational trends of interstitial deposits are due to differential transport of finer sand in suspended load (hydraulic sorting) and (2) that the formation of a bridge layer (a thin layer of infiltrated sediments that become lodged in shallow pore throats) precludes subsequent infiltration into a gravel framework. Several sand colors were sequentially introduced into a flume containing a gravel substrate. After the experiments were conducted bed cores were collected and separated into vertical layers including surface layers composed primarily of sand that was transporting as bed load before the experiment was terminated and interstitial deposits in the gravel framework. Sand from each layer was sieved and measured. The color distribution of each grain class of each vertical layer of each core was measured to determine the temporal provenance of the interstitial deposits. Results supported the occurrence of hydraulic sorting. Older (finer) sand particles were disproportionately prevalent in interstitial deposits when compared to bed load samples. The experiments did not support the second hypothesis. Substantial secondary infiltration occurred after the initial formation of a bridge layer.

The model studies included two- and three-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling of currents and a real-time ship simulator study. The first two model studies focused upon the Mile Point area where the St. Johns Bar Pilots Association restricts the movement of larger vessels during ebb tide due to strong crosscurrents. The crosscurrents occur from Pablo Creek on the south and Sisters Creek on the north. The third model study was to evaluate SAJ's GRR-2 plan to deepen and widen the entire deep-draft Federal project. The final result was a channel design allowing larger ships access to JAXPORT docks and reduce or eliminate tidal delays.

Objectives were to (1) compare trends (1993-2007) of three catfishes collected in Pool 26 and Open River reaches of the upper Mississippi River, and (2) provide needed information to managers on population dynamics through time using a binary gear approach of active (i.e., daytime electrofishing) and passive gears (hoopnetting). Active gears resulted in a higher catch per unit effort (CPUE) of all cat-fishes in each habitat-reach combination as compared to passive gears. Passive gears resulted in negligible catches of blue catfish and flathead catfishes (e.g., mean of <1 fish/net night). Catch per unit effort using active gear resulted in a greater number of channel catfish captured in Pool 26 compared to the Open River, with Open River SCB habitat having the lowest CPUE in most years. Blue catfish in the Open River had a higher CPUE using active gear as compared to Pool 26, with the Open River MCB having the greatest CPUE. Flathead catfish had a higher CPUE in MCB habitat compared to SCB habitat, with the Open River MCB having the highest CPUE in most years. However, declining trends in flathead catfish appears to be occurring in Open River habitats while trends in flathead catfish appear to be slightly increasing in Pool 26. The most common length-classes captured were substock and stock-sized fish regardless of habitat, species, or reach. Trends for channel catfish were easily determined due to high catch rates; however, more monitoring and enhanced sampling is needed to accurately assess flathead catfish and blue catfish trends and to accurately determine demographics for all three species.

This significant investment emphasizes the importance of ensuring that rehabilitation techniques perform well to help reduce the high annual cost for repairs. The repair of pavement base layers with compacted lifts of crushed aggregate requires specialized labor and equipment, contributes significantly to total construction time, is very difficult to perform-particularly in restricted access areas-and often results in a poorly constructed repair and loss in performance. Flowable fill technology has shown some success when used for backfilling patches and utility cut repairs. The purpose of this paper is to present performance and cost advantages of using preblended flowable fill for rapid repair of damaged areas in highway and airfield pavements. Eleven commercially available flowable fill blends were evaluated with laboratory and field testing methods. The laboratory evaluation consisted of standard material characterization testing including compressive strength, flowability, hardening time, and excavatability. Field testing included constructing and trafficking simulated utility cuts and full-depth patches in existing pavements. An examination of structural capacity, surface deformation, and visible surface distress was conducted for each repair at regular traffic intervals. In addition, construction time, difficulty, and cost were compared with those of a traditional aggregate repair. Testing results indicate that backfilling utilities and patches in pavements with flowable fill reduce the potential for premature failure, reduce construction time, and reduce total project cost while increasing repair performance.

AN - 873127626; 14753-3_0031 AB - PURPOSE: Transportation improvements to existing portions of US 50/63 (Rex Whitton Expressway) and the local street network in Cole County, Missouri are proposed. The Whitton Expressway is located in central Jefferson City near the downtown business district, the Missouri State Penitentiary (MSP) redevelopment site, the Old Munichberg and Central East Side neighborhoods, and the campus of Lincoln University. Transitions in roadway types from freeway to urban arterial and back to freeway lead to unsatisfactory levels of service and associated traffic congestion, especially during peak periods. The Whitton Expressway portion of the study corridor extends three miles and is bounded on the west by Bolivar Street, just east of the Tri-level interchange, and on the east by the Eastland Drive interchange. The area from 300 feet south of the Whitton Expressway north to McCarty Street is included. Access to the MSP site from portions of downtown and the Central East Side between McCarty Street and the prison is also being examined. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to historic properties, neighborhood cohesion, pedestrian access, and accessibility to businesses and institutions. In addition to a No Build Alternative, three mainline Whitton Expressway concepts and three prison access concepts are considered as reasonable alternatives in this final EIS. Under Alternative 4, an elevated viaduct starting just east of Broadway and returning to grade near the Jackson overpass would be constructed. Alternative 5 would involve construction of a parkway with a wide median and additional travel lanes; an optional elevated structure would carry through traffic separate from local traffic if deemed necessary. Under Alternative 6, a north-south overpass at Madison Street would be constructed and improvements would be made at Jefferson and Monroe. Under Alternative A, a new half-diamond interchange on Whitton Expressway at Lafayette Street would be constructed and Lafayette would be widened to four or five lanes. Alternative D would utilize a new half-diamond interchange at Lafayette and realign Clark Avenue. Alternative G is a slight permutation of Alternative D and would involve construction of a full diamond interchange at Lafayette. The preferred alternative is a combination of Alternative 6, the Madison Street overpass option, and Alternative G, a new full diamond interchange at Lafayette Street and a realigned Clark Avenue. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the proposed action would improve roadway capacity, traffic operations, and traffic safety. Structural engineering would reduce the opportunities for head-on crashes and add room for recovery or avoidance of obstacles. Access to MSP, Lincoln University, and Jefferson City High School would be improved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Full build-out of the preferred alternative would: directly affect historic resources such as the Craftsman/Monastery district and the property of the Lincoln University President's House; acquire the Quinn Chapel AME church; alter access to several downtown businesses; fully acquire 25 residences and four business properties; and partially acquire 16 residences and four business properties. Right-of-way acquisition and construction would impact a minority population and take an historic district associated with the African American Foot neighborhood.

[Part 28 of 31] T2 - WHITTON EXPRESSWAY, JEFFERSON CITY, COLE COUNTY, MISSOURI. AN - 873127607; 14753-3_0028 AB - PURPOSE: Transportation improvements to existing portions of US 50/63 (Rex Whitton Expressway) and the local street network in Cole County, Missouri are proposed. The Whitton Expressway is located in central Jefferson City near the downtown business district, the Missouri State Penitentiary (MSP) redevelopment site, the Old Munichberg and Central East Side neighborhoods, and the campus of Lincoln University. Transitions in roadway types from freeway to urban arterial and back to freeway lead to unsatisfactory levels of service and associated traffic congestion, especially during peak periods. The Whitton Expressway portion of the study corridor extends three miles and is bounded on the west by Bolivar Street, just east of the Tri-level interchange, and on the east by the Eastland Drive interchange. The area from 300 feet south of the Whitton Expressway north to McCarty Street is included. Access to the MSP site from portions of downtown and the Central East Side between McCarty Street and the prison is also being examined. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to historic properties, neighborhood cohesion, pedestrian access, and accessibility to businesses and institutions. In addition to a No Build Alternative, three mainline Whitton Expressway concepts and three prison access concepts are considered as reasonable alternatives in this final EIS. Under Alternative 4, an elevated viaduct starting just east of Broadway and returning to grade near the Jackson overpass would be constructed. Alternative 5 would involve construction of a parkway with a wide median and additional travel lanes; an optional elevated structure would carry through traffic separate from local traffic if deemed necessary. Under Alternative 6, a north-south overpass at Madison Street would be constructed and improvements would be made at Jefferson and Monroe. Under Alternative A, a new half-diamond interchange on Whitton Expressway at Lafayette Street would be constructed and Lafayette would be widened to four or five lanes. Alternative D would utilize a new half-diamond interchange at Lafayette and realign Clark Avenue. Alternative G is a slight permutation of Alternative D and would involve construction of a full diamond interchange at Lafayette. The preferred alternative is a combination of Alternative 6, the Madison Street overpass option, and Alternative G, a new full diamond interchange at Lafayette Street and a realigned Clark Avenue. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the proposed action would improve roadway capacity, traffic operations, and traffic safety. Structural engineering would reduce the opportunities for head-on crashes and add room for recovery or avoidance of obstacles. Access to MSP, Lincoln University, and Jefferson City High School would be improved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Full build-out of the preferred alternative would: directly affect historic resources such as the Craftsman/Monastery district and the property of the Lincoln University President's House; acquire the Quinn Chapel AME church; alter access to several downtown businesses; fully acquire 25 residences and four business properties; and partially acquire 16 residences and four business properties. Right-of-way acquisition and construction would impact a minority population and take an historic district associated with the African American Foot neighborhood.

AN - 873127551; 14753-3_0012 AB - PURPOSE: Transportation improvements to existing portions of US 50/63 (Rex Whitton Expressway) and the local street network in Cole County, Missouri are proposed. The Whitton Expressway is located in central Jefferson City near the downtown business district, the Missouri State Penitentiary (MSP) redevelopment site, the Old Munichberg and Central East Side neighborhoods, and the campus of Lincoln University. Transitions in roadway types from freeway to urban arterial and back to freeway lead to unsatisfactory levels of service and associated traffic congestion, especially during peak periods. The Whitton Expressway portion of the study corridor extends three miles and is bounded on the west by Bolivar Street, just east of the Tri-level interchange, and on the east by the Eastland Drive interchange. The area from 300 feet south of the Whitton Expressway north to McCarty Street is included. Access to the MSP site from portions of downtown and the Central East Side between McCarty Street and the prison is also being examined. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to historic properties, neighborhood cohesion, pedestrian access, and accessibility to businesses and institutions. In addition to a No Build Alternative, three mainline Whitton Expressway concepts and three prison access concepts are considered as reasonable alternatives in this final EIS. Under Alternative 4, an elevated viaduct starting just east of Broadway and returning to grade near the Jackson overpass would be constructed. Alternative 5 would involve construction of a parkway with a wide median and additional travel lanes; an optional elevated structure would carry through traffic separate from local traffic if deemed necessary. Under Alternative 6, a north-south overpass at Madison Street would be constructed and improvements would be made at Jefferson and Monroe. Under Alternative A, a new half-diamond interchange on Whitton Expressway at Lafayette Street would be constructed and Lafayette would be widened to four or five lanes. Alternative D would utilize a new half-diamond interchange at Lafayette and realign Clark Avenue. Alternative G is a slight permutation of Alternative D and would involve construction of a full diamond interchange at Lafayette. The preferred alternative is a combination of Alternative 6, the Madison Street overpass option, and Alternative G, a new full diamond interchange at Lafayette Street and a realigned Clark Avenue. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the proposed action would improve roadway capacity, traffic operations, and traffic safety. Structural engineering would reduce the opportunities for head-on crashes and add room for recovery or avoidance of obstacles. Access to MSP, Lincoln University, and Jefferson City High School would be improved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Full build-out of the preferred alternative would: directly affect historic resources such as the Craftsman/Monastery district and the property of the Lincoln University President's House; acquire the Quinn Chapel AME church; alter access to several downtown businesses; fully acquire 25 residences and four business properties; and partially acquire 16 residences and four business properties. Right-of-way acquisition and construction would impact a minority population and take an historic district associated with the African American Foot neighborhood.

[Part 6 of 31] T2 - WHITTON EXPRESSWAY, JEFFERSON CITY, COLE COUNTY, MISSOURI. AN - 873127528; 14753-3_0006 AB - PURPOSE: Transportation improvements to existing portions of US 50/63 (Rex Whitton Expressway) and the local street network in Cole County, Missouri are proposed. The Whitton Expressway is located in central Jefferson City near the downtown business district, the Missouri State Penitentiary (MSP) redevelopment site, the Old Munichberg and Central East Side neighborhoods, and the campus of Lincoln University. Transitions in roadway types from freeway to urban arterial and back to freeway lead to unsatisfactory levels of service and associated traffic congestion, especially during peak periods. The Whitton Expressway portion of the study corridor extends three miles and is bounded on the west by Bolivar Street, just east of the Tri-level interchange, and on the east by the Eastland Drive interchange. The area from 300 feet south of the Whitton Expressway north to McCarty Street is included. Access to the MSP site from portions of downtown and the Central East Side between McCarty Street and the prison is also being examined. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to historic properties, neighborhood cohesion, pedestrian access, and accessibility to businesses and institutions. In addition to a No Build Alternative, three mainline Whitton Expressway concepts and three prison access concepts are considered as reasonable alternatives in this final EIS. Under Alternative 4, an elevated viaduct starting just east of Broadway and returning to grade near the Jackson overpass would be constructed. Alternative 5 would involve construction of a parkway with a wide median and additional travel lanes; an optional elevated structure would carry through traffic separate from local traffic if deemed necessary. Under Alternative 6, a north-south overpass at Madison Street would be constructed and improvements would be made at Jefferson and Monroe. Under Alternative A, a new half-diamond interchange on Whitton Expressway at Lafayette Street would be constructed and Lafayette would be widened to four or five lanes. Alternative D would utilize a new half-diamond interchange at Lafayette and realign Clark Avenue. Alternative G is a slight permutation of Alternative D and would involve construction of a full diamond interchange at Lafayette. The preferred alternative is a combination of Alternative 6, the Madison Street overpass option, and Alternative G, a new full diamond interchange at Lafayette Street and a realigned Clark Avenue. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the proposed action would improve roadway capacity, traffic operations, and traffic safety. Structural engineering would reduce the opportunities for head-on crashes and add room for recovery or avoidance of obstacles. Access to MSP, Lincoln University, and Jefferson City High School would be improved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Full build-out of the preferred alternative would: directly affect historic resources such as the Craftsman/Monastery district and the property of the Lincoln University President's House; acquire the Quinn Chapel AME church; alter access to several downtown businesses; fully acquire 25 residences and four business properties; and partially acquire 16 residences and four business properties. Right-of-way acquisition and construction would impact a minority population and take an historic district associated with the African American Foot neighborhood.

AN - 873127445; 14753-3_0020 AB - PURPOSE: Transportation improvements to existing portions of US 50/63 (Rex Whitton Expressway) and the local street network in Cole County, Missouri are proposed. The Whitton Expressway is located in central Jefferson City near the downtown business district, the Missouri State Penitentiary (MSP) redevelopment site, the Old Munichberg and Central East Side neighborhoods, and the campus of Lincoln University. Transitions in roadway types from freeway to urban arterial and back to freeway lead to unsatisfactory levels of service and associated traffic congestion, especially during peak periods. The Whitton Expressway portion of the study corridor extends three miles and is bounded on the west by Bolivar Street, just east of the Tri-level interchange, and on the east by the Eastland Drive interchange. The area from 300 feet south of the Whitton Expressway north to McCarty Street is included. Access to the MSP site from portions of downtown and the Central East Side between McCarty Street and the prison is also being examined. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to historic properties, neighborhood cohesion, pedestrian access, and accessibility to businesses and institutions. In addition to a No Build Alternative, three mainline Whitton Expressway concepts and three prison access concepts are considered as reasonable alternatives in this final EIS. Under Alternative 4, an elevated viaduct starting just east of Broadway and returning to grade near the Jackson overpass would be constructed. Alternative 5 would involve construction of a parkway with a wide median and additional travel lanes; an optional elevated structure would carry through traffic separate from local traffic if deemed necessary. Under Alternative 6, a north-south overpass at Madison Street would be constructed and improvements would be made at Jefferson and Monroe. Under Alternative A, a new half-diamond interchange on Whitton Expressway at Lafayette Street would be constructed and Lafayette would be widened to four or five lanes. Alternative D would utilize a new half-diamond interchange at Lafayette and realign Clark Avenue. Alternative G is a slight permutation of Alternative D and would involve construction of a full diamond interchange at Lafayette. The preferred alternative is a combination of Alternative 6, the Madison Street overpass option, and Alternative G, a new full diamond interchange at Lafayette Street and a realigned Clark Avenue. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the proposed action would improve roadway capacity, traffic operations, and traffic safety. Structural engineering would reduce the opportunities for head-on crashes and add room for recovery or avoidance of obstacles. Access to MSP, Lincoln University, and Jefferson City High School would be improved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Full build-out of the preferred alternative would: directly affect historic resources such as the Craftsman/Monastery district and the property of the Lincoln University President's House; acquire the Quinn Chapel AME church; alter access to several downtown businesses; fully acquire 25 residences and four business properties; and partially acquire 16 residences and four business properties. Right-of-way acquisition and construction would impact a minority population and take an historic district associated with the African American Foot neighborhood.

AN - 873127303; 14753-3_0025 AB - PURPOSE: Transportation improvements to existing portions of US 50/63 (Rex Whitton Expressway) and the local street network in Cole County, Missouri are proposed. The Whitton Expressway is located in central Jefferson City near the downtown business district, the Missouri State Penitentiary (MSP) redevelopment site, the Old Munichberg and Central East Side neighborhoods, and the campus of Lincoln University. Transitions in roadway types from freeway to urban arterial and back to freeway lead to unsatisfactory levels of service and associated traffic congestion, especially during peak periods. The Whitton Expressway portion of the study corridor extends three miles and is bounded on the west by Bolivar Street, just east of the Tri-level interchange, and on the east by the Eastland Drive interchange. The area from 300 feet south of the Whitton Expressway north to McCarty Street is included. Access to the MSP site from portions of downtown and the Central East Side between McCarty Street and the prison is also being examined. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to historic properties, neighborhood cohesion, pedestrian access, and accessibility to businesses and institutions. In addition to a No Build Alternative, three mainline Whitton Expressway concepts and three prison access concepts are considered as reasonable alternatives in this final EIS. Under Alternative 4, an elevated viaduct starting just east of Broadway and returning to grade near the Jackson overpass would be constructed. Alternative 5 would involve construction of a parkway with a wide median and additional travel lanes; an optional elevated structure would carry through traffic separate from local traffic if deemed necessary. Under Alternative 6, a north-south overpass at Madison Street would be constructed and improvements would be made at Jefferson and Monroe. Under Alternative A, a new half-diamond interchange on Whitton Expressway at Lafayette Street would be constructed and Lafayette would be widened to four or five lanes. Alternative D would utilize a new half-diamond interchange at Lafayette and realign Clark Avenue. Alternative G is a slight permutation of Alternative D and would involve construction of a full diamond interchange at Lafayette. The preferred alternative is a combination of Alternative 6, the Madison Street overpass option, and Alternative G, a new full diamond interchange at Lafayette Street and a realigned Clark Avenue. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the proposed action would improve roadway capacity, traffic operations, and traffic safety. Structural engineering would reduce the opportunities for head-on crashes and add room for recovery or avoidance of obstacles.

AN - 873126931; 14753-3_0002 AB - PURPOSE: Transportation improvements to existing portions of US 50/63 (Rex Whitton Expressway) and the local street network in Cole County, Missouri are proposed. The Whitton Expressway is located in central Jefferson City near the downtown business district, the Missouri State Penitentiary (MSP) redevelopment site, the Old Munichberg and Central East Side neighborhoods, and the campus of Lincoln University. Transitions in roadway types from freeway to urban arterial and back to freeway lead to unsatisfactory levels of service and associated traffic congestion, especially during peak periods. The Whitton Expressway portion of the study corridor extends three miles and is bounded on the west by Bolivar Street, just east of the Tri-level interchange, and on the east by the Eastland Drive interchange. The area from 300 feet south of the Whitton Expressway north to McCarty Street is included. Access to the MSP site from portions of downtown and the Central East Side between McCarty Street and the prison is also being examined. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to historic properties, neighborhood cohesion, pedestrian access, and accessibility to businesses and institutions. In addition to a No Build Alternative, three mainline Whitton Expressway concepts and three prison access concepts are considered as reasonable alternatives in this final EIS. Under Alternative 4, an elevated viaduct starting just east of Broadway and returning to grade near the Jackson overpass would be constructed. Alternative 5 would involve construction of a parkway with a wide median and additional travel lanes; an optional elevated structure would carry through traffic separate from local traffic if deemed necessary. Under Alternative 6, a north-south overpass at Madison Street would be constructed and improvements would be made at Jefferson and Monroe. Under Alternative A, a new half-diamond interchange on Whitton Expressway at Lafayette Street would be constructed and Lafayette would be widened to four or five lanes. Alternative D would utilize a new half-diamond interchange at Lafayette and realign Clark Avenue. Alternative G is a slight permutation of Alternative D and would involve construction of a full diamond interchange at Lafayette. The preferred alternative is a combination of Alternative 6, the Madison Street overpass option, and Alternative G, a new full diamond interchange at Lafayette Street and a realigned Clark Avenue. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the proposed action would improve roadway capacity, traffic operations, and traffic safety. Structural engineering would reduce the opportunities for head-on crashes and add room for recovery or avoidance of obstacles. Access to MSP, Lincoln University, and Jefferson City High School would be improved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Full build-out of the preferred alternative would: directly affect historic resources such as the Craftsman/Monastery district and the property of the Lincoln University President's House; acquire the Quinn Chapel AME church; alter access to several downtown businesses; fully acquire 25 residences and four business properties; and partially acquire 16 residences and four business properties. Right-of-way acquisition and construction would impact a minority population and take an historic district associated with the African American Foot neighborhood.

[Part 1 of 2] T2 - MECHANICAL CREATION AND MAINTENANCE OF EMERGENT SANDBAR HABITAT IN THE RIVERINE SEGMENTS OF THE UPPER MISSOURI RIVER, MONTANA, NEBRASKA, NORTH DAKOTA, SOUTH DAKOTA. AN - 873129625; 14752-2_0001 AB - PURPOSE: A program to mechanically create and maintain emergent sandbar habitat (ESH) within 440 miles of the upper Missouri River to support least tern and northern Great Plains piping plover populations in Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota is proposed. The ESH program is being implemented by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a part of the Missouri River Recovery Program (MRRP) and this draft programmatic EIS is tiered from the Final EIS and Record of Decision for the Master Water Control Manual Review and Update issued in March 2004. The construction and operation of the Missouri River Main Stem Reservoir System altered the Missouri River. Six dams and their associated lakes affect the geomorphologic, hydrologic, ecological, social, cultural, and economic conditions along the river and the hydrologic and geomorphic processes that would have created habitat for least terns and piping plovers are greatly reduced. The least tern was federally listed as endangered in 1985 and the piping plover as threatened in 1986. Construction of ESH is proposed for five riverine segments downstream from four of these dams: 1) the 203.5-mile Fort Peck segment from Fort Peck Dam to the headwaters of Lake Sakakawea near Williston, North Dakota; 2) the 85.9-mile Garrison segment form Garrison Dam to the Lake Oahe headwaters south of Bismarck, North Dakota; 3) the 35-mile Fort Randall segment from Fort Randall Dam to upstream of the Niobrara River confluence; 4) the 17-mile Lewis & Clark segment from upstream of the Niobrara River confluence to Lewis and Clark Lake headwaters; and 5) the 58.1-mile Gavins Point segment from Gavins Point Dam to Ponca, Nebraska. The alternatives considered represent a range of ESH acreage goals from Alternative 1 (11,886 acres) through Alternative 5 (1,315 acres). In addition, two no action alternatives are considered: the existing ESH program with current levels of construction of approximately 150 acres per year, and the No Program Alternative. The preferred alternative would employ an adaptive management implementation process (AMIP) whereby actions would be progressively implemented until the desired biological response is attained and sustained. While the exact number of acres needed to be constructed and replaced is uncertain at this time, the impacts associated with constructing and replacing up to the acreage of Alternative 3.5 (4,370 acres) are assessed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Program implementation would benefit least tern and piping plover populations by supplementing natural habitat and adult bird numbers are projected to increase over the life of the program under all action alternatives. New ESH would also benefit other shore birds and many native fish species, as well as amphibians and reptiles. The preferred AMIP alternative would provide a flexible approach to meeting identified biological metrics for the least tern and piping plover. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Including borrow areas, an estimated 2.75 acres would be impacted for each acre of ESH constructed. Implementation of many of the larger alternatives would risk construction-related effects to the endangered pallid sturgeon. Activities in the Fort Randall and Gavins Point segments could result in significant adverse impacts on resources within the Missouri National Recreational River, part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.

Preparation date: December 27, 2010 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MECHANICAL CREATION AND MAINTENANCE OF EMERGENT SANDBAR HABITAT IN THE RIVERINE SEGMENTS OF THE UPPER MISSOURI RIVER, MONTANA, NEBRASKA, NORTH DAKOTA, SOUTH DAKOTA. AN - 16369202; 14752 AB - PURPOSE: A program to mechanically create and maintain emergent sandbar habitat (ESH) within 440 miles of the upper Missouri River to support least tern and northern Great Plains piping plover populations in Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota is proposed. The ESH program is being implemented by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a part of the Missouri River Recovery Program (MRRP) and this draft programmatic EIS is tiered from the Final EIS and Record of Decision for the Master Water Control Manual Review and Update issued in March 2004. The construction and operation of the Missouri River Main Stem Reservoir System altered the Missouri River. Six dams and their associated lakes affect the geomorphologic, hydrologic, ecological, social, cultural, and economic conditions along the river and the hydrologic and geomorphic processes that would have created habitat for least terns and piping plovers are greatly reduced. The least tern was federally listed as endangered in 1985 and the piping plover as threatened in 1986. Construction of ESH is proposed for five riverine segments downstream from four of these dams: 1) the 203.5-mile Fort Peck segment from Fort Peck Dam to the headwaters of Lake Sakakawea near Williston, North Dakota; 2) the 85.9-mile Garrison segment form Garrison Dam to the Lake Oahe headwaters south of Bismarck, North Dakota; 3) the 35-mile Fort Randall segment from Fort Randall Dam to upstream of the Niobrara River confluence; 4) the 17-mile Lewis & Clark segment from upstream of the Niobrara River confluence to Lewis and Clark Lake headwaters; and 5) the 58.1-mile Gavins Point segment from Gavins Point Dam to Ponca, Nebraska. The alternatives considered represent a range of ESH acreage goals from Alternative 1 (11,886 acres) through Alternative 5 (1,315 acres). In addition, two no action alternatives are considered: the existing ESH program with current levels of construction of approximately 150 acres per year, and the No Program Alternative. The preferred alternative would employ an adaptive management implementation process (AMIP) whereby actions would be progressively implemented until the desired biological response is attained and sustained. While the exact number of acres needed to be constructed and replaced is uncertain at this time, the impacts associated with constructing and replacing up to the acreage of Alternative 3.5 (4,370 acres) are assessed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Program implementation would benefit least tern and piping plover populations by supplementing natural habitat and adult bird numbers are projected to increase over the life of the program under all action alternatives. New ESH would also benefit other shore birds and many native fish species, as well as amphibians and reptiles. The preferred AMIP alternative would provide a flexible approach to meeting identified biological metrics for the least tern and piping plover. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Including borrow areas, an estimated 2.75 acres would be impacted for each acre of ESH constructed. Implementation of many of the larger alternatives would risk construction-related effects to the endangered pallid sturgeon. Activities in the Fort Randall and Gavins Point segments could result in significant adverse impacts on resources within the Missouri National Recreational River, part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - DISPOSAL AND REUSE OF FORT MCPHERSON, FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA. AN - 873130037; 14749-9_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal and reuse of the lands and facilities of Fort McPherson, Georgia are proposed. The 487-acre Fort McPherson installation lies four miles southwest of downtown Atlanta and seven miles northwest of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The fort is the site of 2.3 million gross square feet of building space, including 102 family housing units. The base also features an 18-hole golf course that comprises 200 acres within the installation. In its 2005 report to the President, the Base Closure and Realignment (BRAC) Commission recommended the following actions related to Fort McPherson: closure of the facility; relocation of the headquarters of the U.S. Army Forces Command and the headquarters of the U.S. Army Reserve Command to Pope Air Force Base (AFB), North Carolina; relocation of the Third Army headquarters to Shaw AFB, South Carolina; relocation of the Installation Management Agency Southeast Region headquarters and the U.S. Network Enterprise Technology Command Southeast Region headquarters to Fort Eustis, Virginia; and relocation of the Army Contracting Agency Southern Region headquarters to Fort Sam Houston, Texas. The BRAC Commission recommendations must be effected no later than September 15, 2011. Methods for property disposal available to the U.S. Army include transfer to another federal agency, public benefit conveyance, economic development conveyance, negotiated sale, competitive sale, exchanges for military construction, conservation conveyance, and conveyance for cost of environmental remediation. Under the proposed action, six buildings at the fort, including the Lawrence Joel Army Health and Dental Clinic, would be transferred to the Veterans Administration (VA). In addition, the Army is working with both credit unions on Fort McPherson, which have requested conveyance of their currently leased property. The Army proposes to dispose of the remaining surplus property for redevelopment in accordance with the reuse plan developed by the McPherson Planning Local Redevelopment Authority (MPLRA). The MPLRA has expressed a preference for mixed-use sustainable development at a higher level of intensity than baseline conditions exhibit. Mixed-use developments could include housing, office and retail space, light industrial facilities, recreational facilities, public amenities, community facilities, and the like. Of the 487 acres within the form boundary, 422 acres are considered suitable for lease due to the fact that they are relatively free of contaminants; the remaining 65 acres are not suitable for transfer by deed until further evaluation and/or remedial action has been undertaken to clean areas affected by contaminated soils. This final EIS presents alternative disposal methods and reuse alternatives. The preferred alternative is for early disposal of the property as a single entity. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Mixed-use development as proposed by the MPLRA would provide for a socioeconomically integrated community development to serve as a bedroom community with respect to the city of Atlanta. The disposition of buildings to the VA would provide a relatively inexpensive means of expanding the agency's capacity in the Atlanta area, an area providing residence to thousands of veterans. Cleanup of the 65 acres affected by contaminated soils would prevent further degradation to the regional aquifer and allow the sites to be developed for beneficial purposes. The transfer would add to the local property tax base. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The expected intensification of site development would disturb and displace soils and vegetation and result in the regular generation of municipal wastes and air and water pollutants. Historically significant buildings and archaeological resource sites within the installation would no longer receive the protection of the U.S. Army, leaving the structures open to possible modification or demolition and the archaeological sites open to disturbance or displacement.
