 Basis for determining the need for an

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS);

 Summarizes proposed mitigation to address

identified impacts;

Environmental Assessment Document

slide-16
SLIDE 16

 Wetlands:

  • Permanent impacts = 3 acres
  • Temporary impacts = 3.5 acres

 Two areas with site contamination  Removal of US 61 Overpass (historic property)  Traffic Noise  Right-of-Way - Five parcels impacted (2.9 acres)

  • Two residential properties
  • One commercial/warehouse

Environmental Assessment: Summary of Key Findings

slide-17
SLIDE 17

 Technical analysis concluded a wall along US 61 is

feasible and cost effective

 Federal noise process requires voting by directly

affected property owners and residents

 Voting process will occur in August  Neighborhood meeting will be held on August 19th  Noise wall will be built if 50% or more vote yes or

do not vote
