Farmland. If applicable, the CONSULTANT will evaluate the data and document potential farmland impacts in accordance with Part 2, Chapter 6 of the PD&E Manual.
Farmland. Project activities must not result in the conversion of unique, prime, or locally significant agricul- tural properties to urban uses.
Farmland. The U.S. Farmland Protection Policy Act requires coordination with the U.S. Department of Agriculture – Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) whenever a project receives a score 60 or more points in Part VI of form AD-1006, Farmland Conversion Impact Rating or form NRCS-CPA-106, Farmland Conversion Impact Rating for Corridor Type Projects. If additional coordination with NRCS and final completion of either form results in a score of more than 160 points, there is potential for adverse impacts to farmland Does the completion of either NRCS form identified above result in a score greater than 160 points? Does not apply – the project does not impact farmland No Yes – project is ineligible for PCE
Farmland. The measures below apply only to cultivated land and land Hydro-Québec turns over to revegetation upon completion of the work . Traffic in the right-of-way shall generally be restricted to one lane eight metres wide, without limiting easement rights held by Hydro-Québec . To reduce the traffic area as much as possible, the road in the right-of-way shall normally run along the support structures, unless features of the environment require otherwise . To the extent possible, Hydro-Québec shall ensure that the road in the right-of-way does not prevent the landowner or occupant from entering neighboring fields . Ruts shall be leveled if they hinder farm operations . Hydro-Québec shall establish the access roads to the right-of-way and the restrictions on traffic within the right-of-way . The road in the right-of-way shall be established by Hydro-Québec and the contractor before construction starts . In some cases (in sensitive areas or when special arrangements have been made with the landowner), access roads may be marked out on the ground . Depending on the season and nature of the soil, Hydro-Québec shall restrict access to the site by vehicles and machinery that are too heavy to travel on the land without disturbing it . When the construction work is completed, Hydro-Québec shall remove temporary structures and restore the land to its original condition .
Farmland. It is assumed that coordination with the Natural Resource and Conservation Service (NRCS) will not be required for this project. If farmland resources are identified and coordination with the NRCS is deemed necessary by TDOT, these services can be provided by Xxxxxx-Xxxx in accordance with Additional Services clause of this agreement.
Farmland. The project area includes Prime Farmland and Farmland of Statewide Importance. Construction of the proposed project would directly impact designated farmland, potentially resulting in an incremental loss of this resource. While the project will be mitigating for impacts to farmland, the project will still be removing large quantities of farmland from the existing community. Therefore, even with mitigation, there would be a significant and unavoidable impact to farmland. Mitigation Acquisition/Purchase Compensation may be required for the loss of habitat for California Tiger Salamander, Vernal Pool Invertebrates, and Swainson’s Hawk. The potential exists for a single mitigation approach to include all three species. Potential mitigation approaches include preservation of suitable habitat at an off-site location (enhancement of the habitat at the off-site location may also be a component of the compensation) or purchase of sufficient habitat credits at a mitigation bank approved by USFWS and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). Compensation may also be required for the loss of farmland, oak woodland and wetlands. Similar to the single mitigation approach for California Tiger Salamander, Vernal Pool Invertebrates and Swainson’s Hawk, there is a potential to consolidate farmland, oak woodland and wetlands to one location. Potential mitigation cost estimates are included in the right-of-way cost. See Right-of-Way Data Sheet in Attachment H. The EIR/EIS is the appropriate document for the proposed project (see Attachment G for Final EIR/EIS.
Farmland. AIRC has sole ownership or exclusive use of -------- the Farmland and the Farmland is sufficient for the proper growing, cultivation and harvesting of the Products as contemplated by this Agreement. AIRC shall provide AenP with use of the farmland so that AenP will be able to grow, cultivate and harvest the products and otherwise perform its responsibilities hereunder.
Farmland. Because the project site includes soils designated as “farmland of statewide importance,” the project is potentially subject to the Farmland Protection Policy Act (FPPA). Therefore, Xxxxxxx Associates will con‐ tact the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Agency (USDA‐NRCS) to deter‐ mine the proper characterization of the site with regards to farmlands. If required by USDA‐NRCS, Coff‐ man Associates will complete the “federal agency” portions of Form AD‐1006, Farmland Impact Rating Form, on behalf of FAA. This form is used by FAA and USDA‐NRCS to determine the significance of im‐ pacts, if any, to federally protected farmlands.
Farmland. Given the project is located within the urban growth boundary, it is assumed that coordination with the Natural Resource and Conservation Service (NRCS) will not be required. If farmland resources are identified and coordination with the NRCS is deemed necessary by either the Client or TDOT, these services can be provided by Xxxxxx-Xxxx in accordance with the Additional Services clause of this agreement.
