Indirect and Cumulative Impacts. The Engineer shall conduct analyses of the potential indirect and cumulative impacts (ICI) of the project following current State guidance, with input from the State and other local experts with respect to proposed developments in the vicinity of the project. The ICI analysis shall be summarized in the Draft EA.
Indirect and Cumulative Impacts. SWCA will prepare a Risk Assessment for Indirect Impacts for the project as provided in the TxDOT Environmental Compliance Toolkit. The assessment includes seven questions with “yes”, “no” or “unknown” checkboxes. The answer to each checkbox determines if you proceed to the next question. The purpose of the assessment is to determine if an indirect impacts analysis is required for the proposed project. Supporting text will be added to the bottom of each question in order to bolster the findings of each question. SWCA will also prepare a Risk Assessment for Cumulative Impacts for the project as provided in the TxDOT Environmental Compliance Toolkit. This assessment includes three questions with “yes” or “no” checkboxes. The answer to each checkbox determines if you proceed to the next question. The purpose of the assessment is to determine if a cumulative impacts analysis is required for the proposed project. Supporting text will be added to the bottom of each question in order to bolster the findings of each question.
Indirect and Cumulative Impacts. (ICI) Analysis (This scope is for the corresponding section(s) of the CE documentation, EA, or EIS.)
Indirect and Cumulative Impacts. SWCA will update the Risk Assessment for Indirect Impacts for the project. The assessment includes seven questions with “yes”, “no” or “unknown” checkboxes. The answer to each checkbox determines if you proceed to the next question. The purpose of the assessment is to determine if an indirect impacts analysis is required for the proposed project. The results of the assessment stated that an indirect impacts analysis was required. Supporting text will be added to the bottom of each question in order to bolster the findings of each question. SWCA will complete a Risk Assessment for Cumulative Impacts for the project. The assessment includes three questions with “yes” or “no” checkboxes. The answer to each checkbox determines if you proceed to the next question. The purpose of the assessment is to determine if a cumulative impacts analysis is required for the proposed project. The results of the assessment stated that a cumulative impacts analysis was required. Supporting text will be added to the bottom of each question in order to bolster the findings of each question.
Indirect and Cumulative Impacts. Analysis
a) Indirect Impacts Analysis (Steps 1-7 per TxDOT’s Guidance on Preparing Indirect and Cumulative Impact Analyses, September 2010)
b) Cumulative Impacts Analysis (Steps 1-8 per TxDOT’s Guidance on Preparing Indirect and Cumulative Impact Analyses, September 2010) 7) Mitigation and Commitments
a) Commitments need to be included as Environmental Permits Issues and Commitments (EPIC) items and submitted to the Environmental Affairs Division of the Texas Department of Transportation (ENV) for review. (Draft EPICs are welcome, final EPICs are required.)
b) Finalize EPIC sheet for incorporation into plans (and contractor bidding documents) to ensure that implementation occurs through proper execution of plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E) contract. DocuSign Envelope ID: B951F3F6-E6BB-4D9E-AFCF-6ACF0EF5B3D9
c) Ensure that the EPIC sheet language is appropriate for contractor bidding documents and does not use NEPA language (this may require consultation with the Design Division or the Construction Division).
Indirect and Cumulative Impacts. TxDOT may require a detailed analysis of the direct, indirect and cumulative impacts of the proposed project to environmental and social resources within the study area. This analysis requires a 7-step process to determine indirect impacts that are anticipated to result from the proposed project, followed by an 8-step process to determine other reasonably foreseeable actions which would cumulatively affect the resources identified within the study area. Potential mitigation for those impacts is also to be addressed.
Indirect and Cumulative Impacts a. The Engineer shall complete the Induced Growth Indirect Impacts Decision Tree and Risk Assessment for Indirect Impacts and shall coordinate with the State for approval.
b. The Engineer shall complete the Cumulative Impacts Decision Tree and Risk Assessment for Cumulative Impacts and shall coordinate with the State for approval.
c. The Engineer shall conduct and document the indirect and cumulative impact analyses in accordance with state and federal guidelines.
Indirect and Cumulative Impacts. The Engineer shall prepare an Induced Growth Indirect Impacts Technical Report and Cumulative Impacts Technical Report for the project in accordance with the State’s most current guidance on preparing indirect and cumulative impact analyses. Encroachment effects shall be discussed within the context of individual resource analyses in the EA document. Deliverables: Draft Induced Growth Indirect Impacts Technical Report (electronic PDF and DOC) Final Induced Growth Indirect Impacts Technical Report (1 hard copy and electronic PDF and DOC) Draft Cumulative Impacts Technical Report (electronic PDF and DOC) Final Cumulative Impacts Technical Report (1 hard copy and electronic PDF and DOC) Completed comment response matrices (electronic PDF) DocuSign Envelope ID: 67397975-F81B-4755-90E3-12120FAB096F
Indirect and Cumulative Impacts. In accordance with TxDOT guidance, because the project purpose and need does not include economic development, and because the project is in a rural area outside of a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) boundary, induced growth indirect impacts analysis is not required and is not included in this scope of services. The Engineer shall conduct analyses of the potential cumulative impacts of the project following current State guidance, with input from the State and other local experts with respect to proposed developments in the vicinity of the project. The Engineer shall summarize the cumulative impacts analyses in the Draft EA.
Indirect and Cumulative Impacts. The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations requires that all federal agencies consider the indirect and cumulative impacts of any proposed action. The ENGINEER shall identify indirect and cumulative impacts in accordance with the STATE’s Environmental Handbook for Indirect and Cumulative Impacts. • MSAT Qualitative Analysis Technical Report • Archeology Background Study • Biological Evaluation Form • Community Impacts Assessment • Hazardous Materials Initial Site Assessment • Historical Project Coordination Request (PCR) • Traffic Noise Analysis Technical Report • Water Resources Technical Report • Indirect and Cumulative Impacts Technical Report • Section 4(f) and 6(f) Properties Technical Report DocuSign Envelope ID: ED57FAE2-481A-4535-A126-CE7F0E526760 The ENGINEER shall complete an Open-Ended (d)-list CE Memo, a CE Determination Form and an Environmental, Permits, Issues and Commitments (EPIC) sheet for a single Build Alternative. The completed drafts will be submitted to TxDOT San Antonio District for review and approval. • Open-Ended (d)-list CE Memo • CE Determination Form • EPIC sheet The ENGINEER shall establish, track, organize and manage the project’s record, which is the record supporting the agency's decisions. The documents and materials shall be organized in chronological order by date and indexed. The index should include a brief description of each document. The index should be updated on a regular basis. The project record shall be maintained by the ENGINEER throughout the duration of this work authorization. Documentation and materials to be compiled as part of the PR include:
