Project Development & Environment Steps in the process –Identify and map existing environmental features Social (cultural, neighborhood, recreational) Natural (wetlands, habitats, hydrologic) Physical (air, noise, water quality) –Develop and refine traffic forecasts

Project Development & Environment Steps in the process (continued) –Identify and evaluate potential corridors for improvements: Opportunities and Constraints –Select the optimum corridor –Develop design concept alternatives/alignments –Document positive and negative impacts –Select preferred design alignment

Project Development & Environment Public involvement & Coordination activities: Ongoing throughout the project –Corridor and alternative concept workshops –Public hearing –Newsletters –Direct mailouts –Press releases –Internet web sites –State and local agency coordination –Environmental Advisory Group (EAG) Coordination

Project Development & Environment Documents prepared: –Public Involvement Plan –Location Hydraulics Report –Utility Impact Report –Cultural Resources Report –Wetland Evaluation Report –Geotechnical Report –Air Quality Report –Noise Study Report –Biological Assessment Report –Contamination Screening Report –Permit Coordination Report –Preliminary Engineering Report –State Environmental Report

Permitting Coordination continues from PD&E and Environmental Advisory Group activities Pre-application meetings at start of design Application prepared/submitted at 60% roadway plans and 100% drainage design, proceeding parallel with remaining design activities

Permitting Requires activities at numerous levels –Federal –State –Regional and Local

Permitting Federal agency requirements –US Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) Nationwide & Individual wetland impact Wetland Mitigation No net loss of wetlands –US Environmental Protection Agency NPDES: Non-Point Discharge Elimination System

Permitting State of Florida agency requirements –FDEP Environmental Resource Permit Includes Management and Storage of Surface Water Dredge and fill Wetland Mitigation –Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission Wildlife impact on species of concern

Permitting Regional & Local Government requirements –Water management districts Environmental Resource Permit Drainage Wetland and wildlife impacts –Local governments Drainage Criteria Wetland and wildlife impacts

Permitting Wetland Mitigation Options Creation: Replace and Maintain Mitigation “banking”: Public or Private Beltway Mitigation Bill
