ECR Number Environmental Commitment Record Requirements Description of ADOT. Responsibilities BIO-2 The freeway will be designed to protect and maintain opportunities for wildlife movement between the South Mountains, the Gila River, and the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx. These opportunities will be located in the region where the freeway will intersect the southwestern portion of the South Mountains. The project will include the five multiuse crossings (bridge structures) identified in Figure 16 of the ROD. Multiuse crossing 4 is aligned with the Maricopa County Regional Trail/Sun Circle Trail/National Trail (see Figure 5-5 on page 5-8 of the Final Environmental Impact Statement). Multiuse crossings 1, 2, 3, and 5 will facilitate wildlife movement and provide access by GRIC members to the South Mountains. These crossing structures and associated fences will be designed to reduce the incidence of vehicle-wildlife collisions and to reduce the impact of the proposed action on wildlife connectivity between the South Mountains, the Gila River, and the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx. ADOT will coordinate with USFWS, AGFD, and GRIC Department of Environmental Quality during the design phase regarding the location and design of wildlife-sensitive roadway structures. ADOT to oversee for compliance BIO-3 For drainage structures, such as culverts located in potential wildlife movement corridors, ADOT will coordinate with USFWS, AGFD, and GRIC Department of Environmental Quality during the design phase regarding the location and design of wildlife-sensitive roadway structures based on the results of species surveys. ADOT will satisfy this commitment.
