Environmental Planning. Providing high level environmental strategies involving issues to include, but not be limited to, soil management and stockpiles, sustainability initiatives, air quality, water quality, wetlands, flood plains, noise and other categories. These Services must be coordinated with DFW's Environment Affairs Department (EAD), as directed by DFW. The specific Services may include, but not limited to, the following: i) Preparing environmental studies and reports concerning Airport development and operational issues; ii) Assisting EAD in preparing NEPA documentation (e.g. categorical Exclusions and Environmental Assessments and other environmental permit applications) for both Airport development and operations; iii) Assisting in preparing environmental permit applications required for both Airport development and operations; iv) Collecting relevant data from both internal and external sources; v) Developing with EAD plans, studies and procedures related to complying with environmental rules and regulations; and vi) Initiating surveys and assisting in developing policies to allow the Airport system to operate in an environmentally efficient and sustainable manner, including, but not limited to, environmental management plans, integrated contingency plans, waste minimization/recycling programs and energy conservation programs.

Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979 6-1

Environmental Planning. Existing natural resources in the Project Area provide stormwater detention capabilities that minimize or reduce downstream flood risk. Identifying, conserving, and preserving existing natural pervious surfaces, and providing a plan for new environmental features in the Phase One Area is a key outcome of the Plan. Currently, creation of new environmental areas such as wetlands and prairie areas is accomplished piecemeal in conjunction with mitigation actions associated with construction of incremental portions of transportation and other infrastructure. The Plan will utilize outputs from the optimization study to define appropriate and comprehensive green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) and nature-based solutions (NBS) to support intentional saturation of the stormwater runoff determined in Subtask 3.1. This task will encompass estimates of future land use, possible mitigation needs for transportation infrastructure, and return on investment (ROI) calculations for GSI and NBS applications. Through this Task, the Project Team will: o A GIS visualization tool (or components of a larger tool or StoryMap) that communicates outputs from the optimization study. The tool will relate flooding risk/potential/vulnerability with GSI and NBS. This visualization tool will identify ideal locations for implementing GSI and NBS. The tool may be standalone or a component of a larger tool that communicates Subtask 3.3 outcomes from the TSI Project. • Develop an environmental and wetland analysis: o Conduct a supply and demand analysis of wetland and stream compensatory mitigation credits associated with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. o If a demand is identified, utilize H&H modeling to identify locations that could both meet estimated credit demand and reduce future flood risk. Identify planning-level focus areas and design criteria for wetland and/or stream restoration, enhancement, and/or creation. o Discuss ownership circumstances, revenue potential, and maintenance needs/costs of these environmental/mitigation actions. • Develop cost-benefit calculations and return-on-investment (ROI) parameters on GSI and NBS practices, including preservation of floodplains, for use by local governments and developers. Information could include the potential to reduce capital, operation, and maintenance expenses for transportation and other infrastructure through reduction of channel erosion and sediment transport. • Develop a funding strategy toolbox that local governments and pa...

Environmental Planning. § 8.1.1 Norfolk shall perform environmental planning as required for the Utility Relocation Project to conform to all applicable federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. § 8.1.2 Norfolk shall provide a proposed environmental plan (“Environmental Plan”), including any necessary mitigation and protection measures, to the VPA for the VPA’s review and acceptance prior to Norfolk’s implementation of it.
