Project Alternatives. The Design/Builder shall review with the Owner alternative approaches to design and construction of the Project.
Project Alternatives. This chapter gives a description of the Project details of the proposed Project, alternative options, designs and implementation strategies. Chapter 5: Policy, Legal and Institutional Framework: This chapter outlines the overview of legislative framework, regulatory, international guidelines and conventions relevant to this project. Chapter 6: Stakeholder Consultation: ‘This Chapter gives description of the objectives, methods used and summary of results of the public consultation activities. Chapter 7: Environmental and Social impacts Assessment and mitigation measures: This chapter presents the analysis of beneficial and adverse impacts of the Project on the biophysical and human (social, cultural and economic) environments. The analysis covers anticipated impacts during the construction, operation phases and decommissioning phases and also describes the enhancement and mitigation measures proposed to enhance benefits or prevent, minimize, mitigate or compensate for adverse impacts as well as the estimated cost of mitigation. Chapter 8: Environmental and Social Management and Monitoring Plan: This Chapter presents the Environmental and Social Management and Monitoring Plan prepared for the project.
Project Alternatives. This PA is intended to cover all build alternatives for the above-listed project types, as well as the no-build alternative. If one or more alternatives are not included in the list of project types above, VDOT and FHWA Virginia Division will coordinate to determine the applicability of the PA to that alternative(s). It may be that one alternative that is covered by the PA would effectively represent the worst-case for all of the alternatives, e.g., if one alternative has more congested conditions than the others. Project Types Not Covered by This PA: Examples of project types that are not specifically covered by this PA include but are not limited to: park and ride lots, parking garages, new intermodal transfer yards, tunnels, intersections that have more than four legs, and intersections with approach speeds less than 15 mph. If a project type is not covered by the PA, project-specific air quality modeling may be needed. For those project types and conditions where applicability of this PA is not certain, VDOT and FHWA Virginia Division will coordinate to determine its applicability. Discretionary Modeling of Projects Otherwise Covered by this PA: This PA does not preclude VDOT from conducting, at its discretion, project-specific modeling for CO for any project, even if the project would otherwise meet the criteria established in this agreement and therefore not require such modeling. Examples of such projects include (but are not limited to) ones for which an environmental impact statement (EIS) is being prepared and ones that may be considered higher profile, i.e., that involve or may involve a greater degree of public and/or stakeholder interest. Years of Analysis: This PA is based on modeling for a project opening year of 2015, so it covers projects of the types and conditions listed above whose opening year (year of completion) is 2015 or later.
Project Alternatives. This PA is intended to cover all build alternatives for the above-listed projects, as well as the no-build alternative. If one or more alternatives are not included in the list of project types above, STATE DOT and STATE Division of FHWA will coordinate to determine the applicability of the PA to that alternative(s). It may be that one alternative that is covered by the PA would effectively represent the worst-case for all of the alternatives, e.g., if one alternative has more congested conditions than the others. As appropriate and as both agencies agree, other agencies (such as the Regional EPA office or the STATE Air Agency) may be brought in to assist in the coordination. For those project types and conditions where applicability of this PA is not certain, STATE DOT and STATE Division of FHWA will coordinate to determine the applicability. As appropriate and as both agencies agree, other agencies (such as the Regional EPA office or the STATE Air Agency) may be brought in to assist in the coordination.
Project Alternatives. The project alternatives crossing Tongass Narrows to provide access to Xxxxxxx Island are shown in Figure 3.
Project Alternatives. At this time, no proposed alignments have been identified for the Altamont Corridor Rail Project; however, the corridor limits are between Stockton and San Jose, California, which are the terminal stations for the current ACE service. Specific alignments and station locations will be identified along this corridor and evaluated through the preparation of this project environmental document. The Altamont Corridor Rail Project is intended to include a potential branch east of Tracy to allow operation of trains between the Bay Area and points north including Stockton and Sacramento as well as points south including Modesto and beyond within the statewide HST System. Project alternatives are intended to provide intermodal connections to the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) to serve the Oakland Airport, the cities of Oakland and San Francisco as well as other East Bay and South Bay locations via BART. Intermodal connections to BART would be provided in the Livermore vicinity, should the Dublin/Pleasanton BART line be extended, as well as in the Fremont/Union City vicinity, either meeting the existing Fremont line or the Warm Springs/San Xxxx extension. The Altamont Corridor Rail Project may also accommodate a future connection to the Dumbarton rail service in the Fremont/ Union City vicinity as well as an intermodal connection to the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) light rail network in Santa Xxxxx County. Additionally, the project will accommodate feeder and connecting bus services providing access to proximate market areas and interfacing with regional bus links where appropriate.
Project Alternatives. The Project prioritisation was undertaken during the conduct of the Feasibility Study (FS) in 2014 by a different consultant. This has been re-evaluated during the preparation of the Detailed Design Report. During FS conducted by a different consultant in 2014, all available investment proposals and other identified proposals were reviewed, in conjunction with AWSB, and the WSPs. Out of this process, a total of 68 project proposals in the satellite towns of Nairobi were identified and assessed. Based on a further analysis based on five main criteria; target area, overall water supply and sanitation situation, poverty reduction, cost efficiency and performance of the WSP, a total of 25 projects, dubbed “last mile investments” that build on existing investments (e.g. water sources available but no network) were prioritized for further studies and implementation. The Ruiru – Juja Water Supply Project (RJ01) is one of the two projects out of the 25 that have been selected for financing during the current first project phase. Alternative water supply projects within the project area were also assessed to ensure complementarity where possible and maximisation of benefits. All the relevant national and county policies, laws, regulations and institutions were reviewed and discussed to ensure total compliance with the governing laws and regulations as well as contributing towards achievement of the objectives of the operational policies. Liaison with the identified relevant institutions will further contribute towards the success of the proposed project. The identified national policies, laws and guidelines include: • Vision 2030; • Session Paper No.10 of 2014 on the National Environment Policy, 2014; • National Water Policy; • The Constitution of Kenya; • The Environment Management and Coordination Act, 1999 (and the amendments of 2015); • The Water Act, 2016; • The Public Health Act (Cap. 242); • Employment Act, 2007; • Work Injury Benefits Act (WIBA); • The Occupational Safety and Health Act, 2007; • Land Act, 2012 and the 2016 Amendments; and • Kiambu County Water and Sanitation Services Act, 2015. Lenders’ environmental and social guidelines such as the KfW Sustainability Guidelines and World Bank Environmental and Social Framework were also reviewed and incorporated in the assessment to ensure that implementation of the proposed project is in conformity with their environmental and social requirements. In particular, an assessment based on the KfW guidelines ...
Project Alternatives. This section will discuss alternatives identified by the PDT, including the no-project alternative. CEQA alternatives to meet most of the project objectives and reduce environmental effects of the proposed The section will also discuss those alternatives considered and rejected. The alternative access feasibility study prepared for the proposed school concluded access from Airport Boulevard is infeasible and subject to more severe environmental impacts than the proposed bridge, so an Airport Boulevard alternative will not be subjected to a detailed analysis. The analysis may include an alternative to the use of Xxx Road as a detour route during the , construction period. The range of alternatives include alternative design approaches to the bridge crossing identified by the PDT.
Project Alternatives. CONSULTANT will provide an analysis of a reasonable range of alternatives to the preferred project that would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the preferred project. CONSULTANT proposes to evaluate alternatives, developed in close cooperation with the County of Humboldt. The alternatives will include a road diet on Central Avenue not being included, maintaining one parameter wetlands, and a reduced scale alternative that would limit development to two story buildings. A No Project alternative, which will assume that the proposed project will not be rezoned, must be addressed. The EIR must identify the environmentally superior alternative and, if that is the no-project alternative, the environmentally superior alternative among the remaining alternatives. CONSULTANT will address cumulative effects using the “full build out” method in which impacts are considered in the context of the anticipated development over their current planning period. Any reasonable, feasible options for mitigating or avoiding the project’s contribution to any significant cumulative effects will be identified.
