1. Avoidance and Minimization
3i. Total temporary stream impacts:
70
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Permanent Impacts were removed from the project and instead replace with temporary utility crossings. Overall measures to reduce impacts were still
taken. Proposed crossings occur at specific areas to minimize total area impacted. Crossing #1 occurs at an existing road crossing.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Limit disturbance areas to minimal needed for equipment and installation. Work to be done in periods of dry weather. Work to be completed in minimal
time necessary. Silt Fence and other erosion control measures are proposed to minimize sedimentation runoff. Additional notes are included on the
plans
