  • South Bridge Connector, Brown County, Wisconsin, Tier I Draft
    SECTION 2 Alternatives Considered 2.1 Introduction This section describes how the Lead Agencies evaluated alternatives to meet the project purpose identified in Section 1, Purpose of and Need for the Project. The project purpose is to identify the most appropriate improvements for addressing existing east-west transportation demand and the demand generated by the planned development in the southern portion of the Green Bay metropolitan area. In each step of the evaluation, alternatives were assessed to determine whether they met the project purpose and the following needs: • Address congestion in the vicinity of the existing Fox River bridges. • Accommodate existing and planned land use and future travel demand generated by planned development. • Reduce travel time by improving east-west connectivity. • Address higher-than-average crash rates and safety issues in the vicinity of the existing Fox River bridges. This section provides an overview of the alternatives development process. Section 2.2 describes the detailed process Brown County conducted from 2006 through 2020 to identify, screen, and evaluate alternatives. Brown County initially identified and evaluated construction alternatives involving improvements to existing roads and new road construction, and non-construction alternatives. New road alternatives are described as general routes. As additional information on the routes was developed, the alternative routes were refined; those retained for detailed analysis in the EIS are described as 500-foot corridors containing a specific working alignment. Section 2.3 describes the Corridor Alternatives retained for detailed study in this Tier 1 EIS, and further explains the use of working alignments. In 2008, the Lead Agencies issued a Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS and began engineering and environmental studies as part of the NEPA process to explore how to address the need for improved east-west travel in the southern Green Bay metropolitan area and meet eligibility requirements for state and federal funding.

  • Natural Hazards
    CHAPTER 3 THREATS AND HAZARDS RISK ASSESSMENT This chapter been prepared to identify the hazards believed to pose the greatest risk to the residents of Brown County; to profile the extent and severity of past county hazards; and to assess the vulnerability of the county to the risk of future hazard events. Through the risk assessment process, emergency management personnel will be able to more effectively evaluate potential hazard mitigation measures and develop useful strategies to address the risks associated with the identified hazards. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION Although Brown County could potentially be at risk from several distinct hazards, this plan narrows the scope of the hazards to those that pose the greatest risk to residents and facilities of the county. Identification of the hazards was based on a priority ranking of the many different natural and man-made/technological hazards previously identified in the 2012 Brown County All Hazards Mitigation Plan. The natural and man- made/technological hazards included in this list were first identified in the Resource Guide to All Hazards Mitigation Planning in Wisconsin that was prepared by the Association of Wisconsin Regional Planning Commissions through funding provided by the State of Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs, Wisconsin Emergency Management, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The following is a list of the hazards considered by the Steering Committee. Natural Hazards •Lightning Storm/Thunderstorm •Heavy Snow Storm •Ice Storm •Tornadoes/High Winds Flooding Tornados •Blizzards •Stormwater Flooding •Flooding (Flash, Ravine, Lake) •Extreme Cold •Extreme Heat •Fog •Hail Storms •Dam Faiure Flooding Winter Storms Wild Fires •Forest Fires •Wildland Fires •Coastal Hazards •Agriculture •Drought •Earthquake •Landslide •Subsidence Thunderstorms Drought Brown County 55 2020 All Hazards Mitigation Plan HAZARDS RISK ASSESSMENT SURVEY Members of Brown County’s previous 2007 and 2012 All Hazards Mitigation Plan Steering Committee created a Natural Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Matrix.
