1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The project follows the existing transportation facility and utilizes the existing ROW where possible. Wetland and stream impacts occur where there is
no other feasible location for the multi-use trail or drainage features.
1b. Specificallydescribe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Where feasible, slopes were steepened to 2:1 adjacent to wetlands. Sediment and erosion control measures mnll be located to minimize stream and
wetland impacts.
