Categorical Exclusion Documentation. The Categorical Exclusion (CE) document includes gathering and documenting information applicable to the project and the resulting impacts to the built, natural, and social environment. Due to anticipated acquisition of temporary and permanent right-of-way for the project, it is anticipated that a Level 2 CE will be necessary. It is anticipated that less than 10 acres of permanent or temporary right- of-way will be required for this project. No relocations of people or business are anticipated for the project. WSP will prepare a Draft CE Level 2, using the current INDOT template. Inventoried information will be included in a study area exhibit(s). The CE form will be submitted to INDOT Greenfield District for review and comment. This scope assumes up to two rounds of revisions based on INDOT comments. WSP will submit a revised CE Level 2 for approval and release for public involvement. Following certification of the public involvement package in the Public Involvement task, the CE will be updated to address public comments and submitted to INDOT Greenfield District for final review and approval. If more than 0.5 acre of right‐of‐way would be required for the project, a public notice would be published after INDOT releases the CE for Public Involvement. WSP will assist the INDOT Greenfield District in coordinating public involvement activities, including the advertising of the public hearing opportunity and documenting all activities undertaken during public involvement in the CE Level 2. The notice will solicit the public for the opportunity to request a public meeting or hearing. After the comment period, the WSP will prepare a public involvement packet and CE cover sheet and submit to INDOT Greenfield District for review and signature/certification. This task does not include a public hearing or public meeting. WSP will prepare the summary database for inclusion of mitigation commitments resulting from the NEPA process into future phases of the project. The database spreadsheet will be submitted to INDOT Greenfield District.
