Environmental Assessment Job Number 040778 Tier 3 Categorical Exclusion Page 1 of 2 The Environmental Division reviewed the referenced project and has determined it falls within the definition of the Tier 3 Categorical Exclusion as defined by the ARDOT/FHWA Memorandum of Agreement on the processing of Categorical Exclusions. The following information is included for your review and, if acceptable, approval as the environmental documentation for this project. The purpose of this project is to replace the Onion Creek Bridge (M2569) on Highway 252 with a box culvert just north of Beverly in Sebastian County, Arkansas. Total length of the project is 0.28 mile. A project location map is attached. The existing roadway consists of two 10’ wide paved travel lanes with 2’ wide unpaved shoulders. Proposed improvements include two 11’ wide paved travel lanes with 2’ wide paved shoulders. Up to 17.1 acres of right of way may be required for this project. Of this acreage, 11.1 acres is Prime Farmland and 1.1 acres of Farmland of Statewide Importance. Form NRCS-CPA-106 is attached. Design data for this project is as follows: Design Average Daily Percent Design Speed Year Traffic Trucks 2020 150 6 55 mph 2040 200 6 55 mph The project will not involve relocations, underground storage tanks, hazardous materials, wellhead protection areas/public water supplies, any environmental justice issues, or cultural resources. The State Historic Preservation Officer’s clearance is attached. The project will replace the existing bridge with a concrete box culvert. Wetlands are located within the footprint of the proposed project and impacts are estimated not to exceed 0.5 acre. North of the existing bridge, Onion Creek parallels both sides of Highway 252. Onion Creek is classified as a perennial stream and impacts should not exceed 0.3 acres. Stream realignment should not exceed 460 linear feet. Construction should be allowed under the terms of a Nationwide Permit 23 for Categorical Exclusions as defined in the Federal Register 82 (4): 1860 – 2008. Compensatory mitigation will be provided for unavoidable stream and wetland impacts. The official species list obtained through the US Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation website lists the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus), Job Number 040778 Tier 3 Categorical Exclusion Page 2 of 2 Spectaclecase (Cumberlandia monodonta), American burying beetle (Nicrophorus americanus), rattlesnake-master borer moth (Papaipema eryngii), and Geocarpon minimimum as protected species potentially affected by the proposed project. Based on the lack of habitat, scope of the project, and distance to known species it is our determination that the proposed project will have “no effect” on the Piping Plover, Spectaclecase, rattlesnake-master borer moth, and Geocarpon minimum. Based on the lack of habitat and distance to known species it is our determination that the proposed project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect the American burying beetle. The proposed action is within the scope of the Programmatic Biological Opinion for Transportation Projects within the Range of the Indiana Bat and Northern Long-eared Bat (PBO) including the following avoidance and minimization measure: the clearing of trees will be prohibited April 1 through November 15. The Action may affect the northern long-eared bat; however, any take that may occur as a result of the Action is not prohibited under the Endangered Species Act Section 4(d) rule. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service concurrence was received on September 4, 2019. Sebastian County participates in the National Flood Insurance Program. The project is located in Zone A, Special Flood Hazard Area. The final project design will be reviewed to confirm that the design is adequate and that the potential risk to life and property are minimized. Adjacent properties should not be impacted nor have a greater flood risk than existed before project construction. None of the encroachments will constitute a substantial floodplain encroachment or a risk to property or life. This project has been determined to generate minimal air quality impacts for Clean Air Act criteria pollutants and has not been linked with any special mobile source air toxic (MSAT) concerns. As such, this project will not result in changes in traffic volumes, vehicle mix, basic project location, or any other factor that would cause a meaningful increase in MSAT impacts of the project from that of the no-build alternative. Based on the ARDOT noise policy, a noise analysis is not required for this project. The replacement of the bridge with a box culvert on existing location will not involve added capacity or expose noise sensitive land uses to a new traffic noise source. In compliance with federal guidelines, local authorities will not require notification. No other adverse environmental impacts were identified. No public involvement will be needed for the project. The checklist used to verify consideration of potential environmental impacts is attached.

  • The Relation Between Road Crack Vegetation and Plant Biodiversity in Urban Landscape
    Int. J. of GEOMATE, June, 2014, Vol. 6, No. 2 (Sl. No. 12), pp. 885-891 Geotech., Const. Mat. & Env., ISSN:2186-2982(P), 2186-2990(O), Japan THE RELATION BETWEEN ROAD CRACK VEGETATION AND PLANT BIODIVERSITY IN URBAN LANDSCAPE Taizo Uchida1, JunHuan Xue1,2, Daisuke Hayasaka3, Teruo Arase4, William T. Haller5 and Lyn A. Gettys5 1Faculty of Engineering, Kyushu Sangyo University, Japan; 2Suzhou Polytechnic Institute of Agriculture, China; 3Faculty of Agriculture, Kinki University, Japan; 4Faculty of Agriculture, Shinshu University, Japan; 5Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants, University of Florida, USA ABSTRACT: The objective of this study is to collect basic information on vegetation in road crack, especially in curbside crack of road, for evaluating plant biodiversity in urban landscape. A curbside crack in this study was defined as a linear space (under 20 mm in width) between the asphalt pavement and curbstone. The species composition of plants invading curbside cracks was surveyed in 38 plots along the serial National Route, over a total length of 36.5 km, in Fukuoka City in southern Japan. In total, 113 species including native plants (83 species, 73.5%), perennial herbs (57 species, 50.4%) and woody plants (13 species, 11.5%) were recorded in curbside cracks. Buried seeds were also obtained from soil in curbside cracks, which means the cracks would possess a potential as seed bank. Incidentally, no significant differences were found in the vegetation characteristics of curbside cracks among land-use types (Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test, P > 0.05). From these results, curbside cracks would be likely to play an important role in offering habitat for plants in urban area.

This meeting brought together over 80 scientists from 19 countries on four continents (Europe, and Co-chairs . 34 North America, South America, and Australia). Representation from the United States was rather low, Parting Shot . 35 but that was expected, as several other meetings on freshwater molluscs were held in the USA earlier in the year. Ellipsaria Vol. 17 - No. 4 December 2015 The First International Meeting on Biology and Conservation of Freshwater Bivalves was held in Bragança, Portugal, in 2012. That meeting was organized by Manuel Lopes-Lima and his colleagues from several academic institutions in Portugal. In addition to being a research scientist with the University of Porto, Portugal, Manuel is the IUCN Coordinator of the Red List Authority on Freshwater Bivalves. The goal of the first meeting was to create a network of international experts in biology and conservation of freshwater bivalves to develop collaborative projects and global directives for their protection and conservation. The Bragança meeting was very productive in uniting freshwater mussel biologists from European countries with their colleagues in North and South America. The meeting format did not include concurrent sessions, which allowed everyone to attend to every talk and all of the plenary talks by leading scientists.
