<br />City ofCenterville <br />Centerville Downtown RedevelopmentProject <br /> <br />December 29, 2006 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />IdentifYing the areas of concern will be accomplished through discussion with local government staff and <br />regulatory agencies, and, if appropriate, other affected parties. Soliciting input and addressing <br />environmental concerns from all parties early on in the EA W process is invaluable in minimizing project . <br />delays. Should previously unrecognized environmental issues become evident during this process, the <br />scope of the environmental analysis (see Task 5) can be modified to address the concerns. <br /> <br />Supporting studies that appear at this time to be needed include analyses of traffic impacts, air quality and <br />noise impacts, and wetland impacts (see Tasks 2-4 below). A stormwater analysis will also be needed but <br />will be completed under a separate scope of work. It is assumed that the results of the stormwater <br />analysis will be available in time for use in preparation ofthe EA W. For thepurposesofthis proposal, it <br />is assumed that other studies or field surveys (such as cultural resources/archaeological surveys, etc.) will <br />not be necessary to complete the EA W, or that they will be completed. under a separate scope of work. If <br />additional studies or field surveys become warranted, we will contact you immediately and discuss how <br />you wish to proceed. <br /> <br />Task 2: Traffic Analysis <br /> <br />The traffic study included in the CSAH 14 study does not appear to include sufficient future growth to <br />cover the proposed land uses in. the City's redevelopment area. Therefore, a traffic study relative <br />specifically to the proposed redevelopment project will be completed in order to determine the traffic <br />impacts that could be expected to result from the project. We propose the following activities to complete <br />the traffic portion of this proposed development's EA W: <br /> <br />· Collect necessary background information on theproject, including traffic counts at six (6) <br />intersections during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours. <br />· Prepare peak hour traffic forecasts for the study intersections for the years 2010 and 2030. <br />Prepare average daily traffic forecasts on CSAH 14 and CSAH 21 for the years 2010 and <br />2030. <br />· Analyze the traffic impacts of the proposed development for the years 2010 and 2030. The <br />analyses would include the peak hour operations at the study intersections and the daily <br />volumes on the study roadways. <br />· Prepare a draft report discussing our process, results, and recommendations for the traffic <br />operations associated with the proposed development. <br /> <br />Our collection of background data includes confirming that less intense development was used in the <br />CSAH 14 EA W to ensure this traffic study is needed. Three meetings with the City, developers, and/or <br />the County are also expected to discuss our processes and results, including a kick-off meeting to discuss <br />initial assumptions and study direction. <br /> <br />Task 3: Wetland DeterminationIDelineation <br /> <br />Since we are outside of the growing season (April- October), a wetland determination will be performed <br />to identifY wetlands located within the project area. We anticipate investigating at least three areas based <br />on aerial photo, National Wetlands Inventory, and hydric soils map review. We will provide preliminary <br />wetland boundaries based on the field investigation. <br /> <br />In the spring (during the growing season), a wetland delineation will be performed in accordance with <br />U.S. Army Corps of Engineers standard jurisdictional wetland delineation protocol to identifY wetiand <br />areas and determine potential impact or avoidance issues. A wetland delineation report will be prepared <br />and submitted to the Rice Creek Watershed District for approval as the Local Government Unit (LGU) <br />responsible for the administration of the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA). <br />
