Waters of the U.S. – Jurisdictional limits of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under the Clean Waters Act, as defined in 33 CFR 328. DocuSign Envelope ID: F30041C2-2CD0-40EA-B2F7-45DA235A97DB This Scope of Work is for the Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) Study for: • I-10 E from I-69/US 59 to SH 99 approximately 30 miles in Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx Counties. The purpose of this study is to conduct analysis and planning activities with resource agencies and the public in order to produce a transportation planning product that effectively serves the community's transportation needs. The results of the study may be used to inform a subsequent project-specific National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. Linking Planning and NEPA is an integral part of the PEL Process that would be followed in order to minimize duplication of effort, promote environmental stewardship, encourage meaningful and productive public engagement, and reduce delays in project implementation. The PEL Process framework includes: • System Planning; • Identifying the Transportation Need; • Identifying and engaging Stakeholders throughout the community; • Defining Roles and Responsibilities; • Defining and refining the Travel Corridor (including logical termini); • Developing Need, Purpose, Goals and Objectives; • Developing Performance Measures; • Developing Alternatives and Defining Modes of Travel; • Evaluating and Screening Alternatives; • Identifying Planning-Level Environmental Impacts and Potential Mitigation Options; • Documenting the Evaluation Process; and • Developing reports to document and finalize the PEL Study. The PEL study is prepared to meet the thresholds identified in Appendix A to 23 CFR 450, specifically 23 CFR § 450.212(b) and 450.318(b), so that it can be used to inform the NEPA process. In order to meet these requirements the PEL study shall be NEPA-like and include the following thresholds: • Coordination with local, state, tribal, and federal agencies; • Public input and review of the PEL study, including opportunity for public/agency involvement in decision making; • Document decisions in technical memorandum format including specific information such as dates, interested parties, decisions made, distribution list, etc.; and • Adherence to and completion of the Planning/Environmental Linkages Questi...
Wetland Delineation. The USFW National Wetlands Inventory map shows the irrigated fields of Buzzy’s Ranch as wetlands. Lumos’ subconsultant, Resource Concepts, Inc. (RCI) will conduct a wetland and other waters of the United States (WOUS) delineation in accordance with the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (TR-Y-87-1) as amended by the Arid West Regional Supplement (2008), A Field Guide to the Identification of the Ordinary High Water Xxxx (OHWM) in the Arid Xxxx Xxxxxx xx xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx (2008), and the Arid West 2016 Regional Wetland Plant List. The purpose of a wetland delineation report is to identify and describe aquatic resources and known possible sensitive plant, fish, and wildlife species. This report facilitates efforts to: Avoid or minimize impacts to aquatic resources during the project design process; Document aquatic resource boundary determinations for review by the USACE; Provide early identification of known sensitive species within the survey area; and, Provide background information on the survey area. Following the field work and report preparation, RCI will meet with the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) to go over our findings and determine the most efficient steps forward in developing mitigation for impacts to wetlands and other WOUS. RCI’s scope and cost estimate are based on the following assumptions: The trail along the river will cross some jurisdictional wetlands. The National Wetland Inventory map indicates the trail could cross 700 feet of wetlands. This area is also mapped as having hydric soils. The trail along the river will cross other WOUS. There are three drainages related to irrigation discharge that will be crossed by the trail. Two field surveys will be conducted. One prior to irrigation being turned onto the field of interest to assess wetland hydrology and one later in the spring to identify the vegetation in the wetland areas to the species level.
Wetland Delineation. XXXXXXX XXXXX will perform an initial field assessment and delineation of the wetlands and prepare a draft wetland memo will be developed and provided to City of Fort Xxxxxxx Environmental Planner. Field visit will be completed with City staff. XXXXXXX XXXXX will coordinate with City on the amount and kind of wetland mitigation, with the assumption that on-site mitigation is preferred. It is anticipated that less than 0.10 acres of wetlands will be impacted.

Wetland Delineation. Consultant will conduct a field investigation within the potential Project limits to collect data necessary to identify and delineate the geographic extent of potential jurisdictional waters in accordance with Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) definitions of jurisdictional waters, the Corps’ 1987 Wetlands Delineation Manual, the Corps’ 2008 Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Region (Version 2.0) and supporting guidance documents based on current and historic land use conditions. The location of each jurisdictional water potentially subject to Corps and RWQCB jurisdiction will be field located using a Trimble Pathfinder XRS GPS unit (accuracy <50cm). Field data taken regarding vegetation, soil, and hydrology conditions observed during the delineation process will be digitally formatted by Consultant and data linked for use in ARCINFO during data analysis. As some areas within potential Project limits are currently tidal wetlands, field data studies will concentrate on defining the wetland/upland interface. All areas identified as potential jurisdictional waters of the United States and / or State will be mapped on to a 100-scale base map. The base map will consist of a color orthorectified aerial photograph and engineer level topographic mapping. All potential jurisdictional areas identified during data analysis and mapping will be reviewed with respect to possible exemption from Corps and RWQCB jurisdiction.
Wetland Delineation. Buyer shall as promptly as possible after the date hereof obtain, at its expense, a Wetland Delineation of the Property identifying the area of the Property that is unbuildable.
Wetland Delineation. E&A will provide a wetland delineation of the area that will be impacted by construction of the culvert and roadway embankment. This information will be necessary to assess wetland and bed & bank impacts and must be provided with the 404 Permit Applications to the USACE.
Wetland Delineation. Normally, formal wetland delineations are not a required part of CEQA documents, as long as a reasonable estimate of wetland extent is provided. However, we understand that a need has been identified for a formal delineation, to be verified the Corps. Our scope does not include applying for Clean Water Act 404 or state Fish &Game Code 1601 permits. To delineate the wetlands, recent and historic aerial photos of the site and vicinity will be reviewed. Available biological, hydrologic, and geologic studies regarding the site and vicinity, including the 1998 Biological Evaluation conducted by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Associates (HLA) will also be reviewed. A delineation of wetlands and non-wetland waters of the United States on the property will be conducted in accordance with currently accepted methods. Hydric soils, hydrology, and vegetation will be examined. The delineation will include wetlands subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act as well as those defined by other regulatory agencies, as applicable. We assume that the extent of wetlands that we will delineate is approximately 0.7 acre, as estimated in the 1998 HLA Biological Evaluation of the Miyashita site. Any identified potential wetlands or other waters that occur on-site will be delineated using a topographic base map or ratio rectified aerial photograph (scale or larger), provided by the County. A topographic base map scale of or larger is required by the Corps for their formal jurisdictional determination. County of Santa
