Common use of Analysis of Stream Modifications and Associated Habitats Clause in Contracts

Analysis of Stream Modifications and Associated Habitats. Provide a habitat impact analysis when modification of a stream channel is included as part of the Transportation Activity where the streambed is being relocated, straightened, altered (deepened or widened), or cleaned as a part of road/bridge construction or as an easement involving drainage improvements. 25.3.1 The report on the habitat impact analysis shall describe impacts; both direct and indirect, to the adjacent riparian habitats associated with stream modifications, and shall include: • A description of existing vegetation that includes all elements listed in this attachment, • Areal extent of temporary and permanent impacts, in acres, including impacts in temporary or permanent easements outside the State's proposed right of way, • Type of impacts proposed to affect the channel (e.g., channelization, fill, excavation) and adjacent surfaces (e.g., vegetation clearing for equipment operation). 25.3.2 Stream Modification and Associated Habitats Reports shall include: • Sources for and results of preliminary data collection, • The name(s) of the person(s) performing the fieldwork, • Dates of fieldwork, • Weather conditions at the time of the survey(s), • Whether the rare and protected species is absent or present, • Survey protocols or other methods used, • Analysis of the Transportation Activity’s potential to affect the channel, • Appropriate shapefiles (GIS), 7.5-minute USGS topographic maps, and/or aerial photographs showing all areas surveyed; and, • Photographs typical of the area(s) surveyed.
