1.1 Project Description
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is conducting a Project Development & Environment (PD&E) study to evaluate the proposed widening of State Road (SR) 390 from State Road (SR) 77 (Ohio Avenue) at the west end extending east to SR 75 (US 231) in Lynn Haven, Bay County, a distance of approximately 4.4 miles (mi) (see Figure 1). The project is within Sections 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 of Township 3 South, Range 14 West; Sections 7 and 18 of Township 3 South, Range 13 West.
Figure 1. SR 390 PD&E Study from SR 77 to SR 75 – Project Study Area Map. Lynn Haven, Bay County, Florida
The existing roadway is an undivided two-lane rural collector and urban minor arterial with dedicated right and left turn lanes at signalized intersections and roadside ditches. The current access management classification is Class 5. The project area is divided into two segments, based on the characteristics of the existing roadway and adjacent properties. Segment 1 is from SR 77 (Ohio Avenue) to Delaware Avenue. Segment 2 is from Delaware Avenue to SR 75. Segment 1 has a Class C3R (Suburban Residential) context classification, while Segment 2 is context classification C4 (Urban General). The C3R classification is defined as mostly residential areas within large blocks and a disconnected or sparse roadway network. The C4 classification is defined as a mix of uses set within small blocks with a well-connected roadway network. There are five (5) signalized intersections within the project limits including: SR 77/Ohio Avenue (begin project), CR 389/East Avenue, Transmitter Road/County Road (CR) 2327, Mill Bayou Boulevard/Cato Road, and US 231/SR. 75 (end project). One bridge exists within the project limits (#460020 over Mill Bayou). A full discussion of the existing roadway conditions is included in Section 4.0 of the Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) (July 2019) prepared under separate cover and included in the project file.
The Preferred Alternative will widen the existing roadway within the project limits to an urban six-lane divided roadway with three 11-foot (ft) travel lanes in both the eastbound (EB) and westbound (WB) directions. The Preferred Alternative will require a total of 138 feet of right-of-way (ROW), including the acquisition of 58 to 78 feet of new ROW intermittently from the north or south side of the roadway, varying by location. The Preferred Alternative includes a 6-ft Type 2 Categorical Exclusion Page 5 of 33
SR 390 (E 14TH STREET) FROM SR 77 (OHIO AVENUE) TO SR 75 (US 231)// 421225-2-22-02 sidewalk along the south side and a 12-ft shared use path along the north side of the roadway for the entire project length. Seven-foot buffered bike lanes are proposed adjacent to both the EB and WB lanes for the entire project length. This study includes replacing the existing bridge over Mill Bayou with two new three-lane bridges. The proposed eastbound bridge will be 52-ft 2 inches (in) wide and will include three travel lanes, a buffered bike lane, and sidewalk. The proposed westbound bridge will be 58 ft 2 in wide and will feature three travel lanes, a buffered bike lane, and shared-use path. Both bridges will be approximately 175 ft long. A full discussion of the alternatives evaluated is included in Section 7 and a full discussion of the Preferred Alternative is included in Section 8 of the PER (July 2019) prepared under separate cover and included in the project file.
1.2 Purpose and Need
The purpose of the project is to address capacity deficiencies of SR 390 from SR 77/Ohio Avenue to SR 75/US 231. An expansion of this portion of SR 390 is part of a greater effort to expand roadway capacity in Lynn Haven between SR 368/23rd Street and SR 75/US 231 along SR 390 (from SR 368/23rd Street to SR 77/Ohio Avenue) and SR 390 (from SR 77/Ohio Avenue to SR 75/US 231). The need for the project is based on the following criteria.
Additional roadway capacity on SR 390/East 14th Street is needed to provide more capacity in the northern Lynn Haven area, accommodate future roadway volumes on SR 390, and alleviate some crashes that have occurred along this facility. This increase in capacity will act as a connecting link in the roadway network and relieve parallel facilities located to the south of SR 390/East 14th Street. Due to the planned expansion of SR 390 west of SR 77/Ohio Avenue, the widening of this portion of SR 390 would create an alternative route traveling through Panama City for traffic heading east or west between SR 30/US 98 and SR 75/US 231. As such, the creation of this alternative route may decrease future traffic volume loads on SR 30/US 98 and SR 75/US 231.
PLAN CONSISTENCY The proposed improvements for this corridor are listed in the Bay County Transportation Planning Organization’s (TPO) 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan, 2018/19-2022/23 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and the FDOT’s 2019-2022 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).
ROADWAY CAPACITY / DEFICIENCIES In May 2016, the CR 390 PD&E Study Technical Memorandum - Analysis of Failure Years (Tech Memo) was completed on behalf of FDOT. As part of this Tech Memo, three analyses were performed: an Existing Conditions analysis, a 2045 No-Build scenario analysis, and a 2045 Build scenario analysis. This Tech Memo served as a basis for the capacity analysis of the widening of SR 390/East 14th Street. This information was subsequently updated within a Project Traffic Analysis Report (PTAR) prepared for the project. Within the PTAR, existing traffic information for 2017 (Existing Year) was collected and analyzed to obtain baseline conditions. Future year 2025 (Opening Year) and 2045 (Design Year) No-Build and Build traffic conditions were then created and analyzed.
EXISTING YEAR LEVEL OF SERVICE An operational analysis was performed for existing conditions with the existing lane geometry. The acceptable level of service (LOS) standard for the study corridor is LOS D. The existing Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) ranges from 9,300 vehicles towards the east end of the project at US 231 to 17,500 vehicles near CR 389 as shown in Table 1. Currently, most of SR 390 operates at an acceptable LOS of C/D; however, the segment just east of SR 77 and intersections with SR 77 and Cato Road/Mill Bayou Road fail during the AM peak hour (LOS E/F). Intersection LOS is shown in Table 2.

Table 2. Existing (2017) Intersection LOS
OPENING AND DESIGN YEAR NO-BUILD AND BUILD SCENARIOS Operational analyses of future conditions in the study corridor were analyzed for No‐Build and Build conditions for Opening Year (2025) and Design Year (2045). The FDOT level of service target for peak hours in urbanized areas is LOS D. It should be noted that some of the projected Opening Year traffic volumes are lower than the Existing Year volumes. This is due to other projects in the area being constructed that shift travel patterns and alleviate demand on SR 390 in the Opening Year no-build condition.
The No-Build scenario includes all ongoing construction projects and all funded and programed improvements scheduled to be opened by the analysis year; this includes the improvements at SR 390 and SR 77 being done as part of FPID 217875-4-52-01. The Build conditions include additional turn lanes and through lanes being studied. Improvements at signalized intersections required to attain acceptable level of service beyond the No-Build geometry for the Design Year are: • SR 390/CR 389: Two additional through lanes in each direction on SR 390 • SR 390/Transmitter Road: Two additional through lanes in each direction on SR 390 • SR 390/Cato Road: Two additional through lanes in each direction on SR 390 The aforementioned capacity and operational changes will result in improved traffic operations and reduce delay by the Design Year along SR 390 and at the signalized intersections. The traffic volume and segment LOS projections for the No-Build and Build scenarios during the Opening and Design Years are shown in Table 3. Intersection LOS for the No-Build and Build scenarios during the Opening and Design Years are shown in Table 4.

SAFETY A safety analysis was conducted for the corridor. Crash data was obtained for the project corridor from the FDOT’s Crash Analysis Reporting System (CARS) for the 5-year period extending between August 2013 and July 2018.
According to the crash data, there have been 261 reported crashes reported along the corridor during this time period. There were 156 (60%) rear end collisions, 53 (20%) angle crashes, 15 (6%) fixed object crashes, 11 (4%) sideswipe collisions, 9 (3%) roadway departure accidents, 2 (1%) animal related crashes, 2 (1%) head on collisions, 3 (1%) rollover accidents, and 7 (3%) crashes classified as other. There were 3 (1%) pedestrian/bicycle related crashes. Type 2 Categorical Exclusion Page 8 of 33
SR 390 (E 14TH STREET) FROM SR 77 (OHIO AVENUE) TO SR 75 (US 231)// 421225-2-22-02
There were no reported fatalities. Alcohol and/or drugs were confirmed in 8 (3%) of the reported crashes. Rear End and Angle type crashes make up 80% of reported crashes for the study period. One-quarter of all accidents resulted in injury with 74% of crashes resulting in property damages alone. Eighty-three percent (83%) of all crashes occurred during daylight hours, with twelve percent (12%) occurring during night-time condition (6% non-lighted, 6% lighted); the remaining accidents occurred during transition periods (dawn & dusk). Seventy-six percent (76%) of crashes occurred in a dry roadway condition, with twenty-four percent (24%) of crashes occurring in a wet pavement condition. Several of the run-off the roadway crashes were a result of driver reaction to upcoming stopped traffic near a signal in both dry and wet roadway conditions. A visual breakdown of the percent by crash type is provided within Figure 2.

3. Social and Economic
The project will not have significant social and economic impacts. Below is a summary of the evaluation performed.
3.1 Social
The project was screened through the Environmental Screening Tool (EST) as part of the Efficient Transportation Decision Making (ETDM) Programming Screen phase (ETDM #14201). Socio-economic data was generated as part of the screening event used for the Final ETDM Programming Screen Summary Report (re-published April 12, 2019), prepared under separate cover. An updated ETDM EST Sociocultural Data Report (SDR) was run in June 2019 to obtain the latest available American Communities Survey (ACS) 2017 demographic data estimates within a 500-foot buffer of the project. The SDR covered the project’s study area of approximately 0.84 square miles. The total population of the study area is approximately 1,321 people found in 456 households. Below are the demographic and socio-economic estimate comparisons of the study area and Bay County. Demographic Comparison

As discussed in the Final ETDM Programming Screen Summary Report, the 2010 US Census block data was reviewed to conduct a more detailed analysis of minority totals since it provides more information than the SDR. This data gives totals for the entire Census block group and does not reflect the approximation of the population based on area of the 500-foot buffer area intersecting the Census block groups. This data identified 23 Census blocks with a total population of 339 people that have a minority population greater than 40%. These Census blocks are concentrated mainly on both sides of SR 390 in Lynn Haven between Pennsylvania Avenue and Colorado Avenue, as well as on the south side of SR 390 between Britton Road and Hilltop Lane in the middle portion of the project. The details and locations of proposed relocations are shown in the project’s Conceptual Stage Relocation Plan (CSRP)(January 2019), prepared under separate cover and included in the project file. Residential impact details associated with estimates of affected demographic parameters are provided in Section 3.2.1 of the CSRP.

As needed to meet the project’s intended purpose and need, two six-lane roadway alternatives were considered, one with a shared use path and one without. Based on the selected roadway alignment common to both alternatives, potential impacts to disadvantaged populations are anticipated to be comparable. The widening of SR 390 between Pennsylvania Avenue and Colorado Avenue is anticipated to require the relocation of 12 residences and 5 businesses (including 3 churches). This comprises 35.3% of the residential relocations and 33.3% of the business relocations for the overall project (discussed further in Section 3.6). The widening of SR 390 between Britton Road and Hilltop Lane is anticipated to require no residential relocations and 7 business relocations. This comprises 46.7% of the business relocations for the overall project. The churches and remaining businesses potentially impacted by the Preferred Alternative are not considered to have special characteristics, services to specialized clientele or cultural orientation.
Within a 500-foot buffer of the Preferred Alternative, various community resources are noted including: 8 religious facilities; 3 mobile home parks, 1 assisted living facility (private), 1 child care/day care facility (private); North Bay Haven Charter Academy (public charter school), Nature Walk Golf Course (private); Lynn Haven Cemetery (public); Lynn Haven Fire Department Station #1; Lynn Haven Police Department; and Lynn Haven Surgical Center (private). Although impacts to several community resources are anticipated (discussed further in Section 3.6), the proposed improvements would have a positive effect to emergency services by potentially reducing the response times for the Lynn Haven police and fire stations at Pennsylvania Avenue near the west end of the project.
Based on the analysis conducted, the Preferred Alternative will not result in high or disproportionate impacts to any minority, ethnic, elderly or handicapped groups, and/or low-income populations. Since the Preferred Alternative improvements will use the existing alignment of SR 390, the proposed project is not expected to affect community cohesion, divide neighborhoods, or contribute to social isolation of any special populations of elderly, handicapped, minority or transit dependent.
This project has been developed without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex, religion, disability, or family status. Therefore, in accordance with the provisions of Executive Order 12898 and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Order 6640.23a, no further Environmental Justice analysis is required. The level of effect is expected to be not significant.
3.2 Economic During the Environmental Technical Advisory Team’s (ETAT) review for this project, the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity commented as part of their review of potential economic effects that the Preferred Alternative is not located in a Rural Area of Opportunity and that the project area has low potential for attraction of new development and generation of employment opportunities. However, completion of the Preferred Alternative improvements is anticipated to assist local residents with commuting to employment, commercial/retail facilities and community services within the Lynn Haven and Panama City areas. Although the project will result in the displacement of residences and businesses, due to the availability of replacement properties (discussed in the CSRP, prepared under separate cover) adverse impacts to the local housing market, local employment market and local tax base are not anticipated. The level of impact is not significant.
3.3 Land Use Changes
Bay County Planning and Zoning’s Comprehensive Plan was reviewed for existing land use within and adjacent to the study area. In Lynn Haven at the western portion of the project between SR 77 and N. East Avenue, land use is urban, with Commercial, Public/Institutional, Mixed Use, and Low-Density Residential land uses. Between N. East Avenue and Transmitter Road the land uses are Mixed Use, C-1 Neighborhood Commercial, General Commercial, Public/Institutional, Residential, Low Density Residential, Mobile Home Park, Conservation, Recreation, and Public.
Type 2 Categorical Exclusion Page 13 of 33
SR 390 (E 14TH STREET) FROM SR 77 (OHIO AVENUE) TO SR 75 (US 231)// 421225-2-22-02
Between Transmitter Road and SR 75 land uses are shown as primarily Residential and Traditional Neighborhood Development with some General Commercial, Agriculture/Timberland, and Industrial. Hurricane Michael, which occurred October 10-11, 2018, caused significant damage to this portion of the Florida panhandle. The storm resulted in extensive damage to numerous residential and commercial structures as well as forested areas along the corridor. While storm-related impacts may lead to parcel-specific changes in land use (e.g., destruction or abandonment of structures), it is assumed that most impacted residences and commercial structures which sustained damage will be repaired. Large-scale changes in existing land use are not expected along the project corridor as a result of Hurricane Michael.
The Future Land Use elements of the Lynn Haven Comprehensive Plan (dated 2018) and the Bay County Comprehensive Plan (dated 2009) were reviewed. Within the Lynn Haven city limits, there are no changes shown between existing and future land uses. Land use changes for the portion outside the city limits (generally between Delaware Avenue and US 231) are generally minor and parcel-specific. The existing C-1 Neighborhood Commercial land use designation between N. East Avenue and Carla Lane will be revised to the General Commercial designation. The existing R-2 Duplex/Manufactured Housing designation between Cato Road and Pipeline Road will be revised to the Residential designation, and Low Density Residential. Just east of the SR 390/US 231 intersection, several parcels currently zoned as R-1 Single Family will be revised to an Industrial land use.
The total ROW to be acquired for the Preferred Alternative is 81.9 acres (discussed further in Section 3.6). The proposed improvements will use the existing alignment of SR 390 and portions of adjacent non-transportation uses will be converted to transportation ROW. However, the proposed project will continue to support the existing and future land uses within the project and surrounding areas. Significant land use changes are not anticipated to occur along the project corridor if the proposed project is implemented. Therefore, the level of impact is not significant.
This project is consistent with the Transportation Mobility Element of the City of Lynn Haven Comprehensive Plan (dated 2018) and the Transportation Element (Chapter 4) of the Bay County Comprehensive Plan (dated October 2009). As discussed previously in Section 1.3, this project is included in the Cost Feasible Plan of Bay County TPO’s 2040 LRTP, the Bay County TPO’s TIP and the FDOT’s STIP.
3.4 Mobility
Travel patterns are expected to remain the same as existing patterns, with the exception of minor changes due to median opening revisions to improve access management. Currently, there are limited multi-modal facilities along this portion of SR 390. The Bay Town Trolley is the transit service serving Bay County, but no trolley services currently travel SR 390. Purple Route 1 travels between Panama City and Lynn Haven and intersects the west end of the project at SR 77. The preliminary design concepts do not include significant intersection improvements, so service for this route should not be adversely affected.
The proposed expansion of SR 390 to a six-lane divided roadway will accomplish the following: • Enable SR 390 to accommodate the amount of traffic demand forecasted in the future. • Three lanes in each direction will allow through vehicles to bypass vehicles slowing for turns, thereby reducing potential rear-end crashes. • A median will provide channelization for left-turning vehicles. Currently, channelization exists at just the signalized intersections and a few of the unsignalized intersections. • Currently, there are intermittent sidewalks along the north side of the roadway from SR 77 to Illinois Avenue and a 100-foot stretch of sidewalk on the south side of the roadway 240 feet east of the intersection of SR 390 and Delaware Avenue. There are no provisions for cyclists within the existing roadway. Six incidents involving Type 2 Categorical Exclusion Page 14 of 33
SR 390 (E 14TH STREET) FROM SR 77 (OHIO AVENUE) TO SR 75 (US 231)// 421225-2-22-02 pedestrians or cyclists were recorded during the five-year crash history. The Preferred Alternative includes a 6- ft sidewalk along the south side and a 12-ft shared use path along the north side of the roadway for the entire project length. Seven-foot buffered bike lanes are proposed adjacent to both the EB and WB lanes for the entire project length. Dedicated facilities for pedestrians and cyclists such as sidewalks and bicycle lanes will enhance access and safety for these users.
SR 75/US 231 also intersects with I-10 north of this segment, and then continues to Dothan, Alabama. The widening of this portion of SR 390 to six lanes, in conjunction with the planned SR 390 six-lane expansion west of SR 77, would create an alternative route to traveling through Panama City for travelers heading east or west between SR 30/US 98 and SR 75/US 231 and as an alternate for truck traffic to access the Port of Panama City from SR 75/US 231 north. Further, the creation of this alternative route would decrease the capacity load on SR 30/US 98 and SR 75/US 231. Construction is on-going for the portions of SR 390 between County Road 2312/W. Baldwin Road and Jenks Avenue (FM# 217875-3) and between Jenks Avenue to east of SR 77/Ohio Avenue (FM# 217875-4) to widen this facility to six lanes. When constructed, this project would act as a connecting link between 23rd Street to SR 75/US 231.
SR 390 between SR 368/23rd Street and SR 77 is a Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) highway connector. SR 75/US 231 is designated as a SIS highway corridor. These facilities are connecting links to the Port of Panama City and the Panama City Greyhound bus station. Although this is not a SIS highway corridor, expansion of this portion of SR 390 will increase roadway capacity connecting to these intermodal facilities as well as provide a viable alternative route to SR 75/US 231 through Panama City.
SR 390/East 14th Street has been designated as an evacuation route by the Florida Division of Emergency Management. Other designated evacuation routes that intersect SR 390 include: SR 77, CR 389, CR 2327, and SR 75/US 231. If an evacuation is needed (such as Hurricane Michael in October 2018), these roadway facilities will be the network utilized to evacuate Lynn Haven and Panama City residents traveling north.
It is anticipated that with the widening of SR 390, traffic congestion would be reduced and flow would improve. This would have a positive effect to emergency services by potentially reducing the response times in the community. Mobility during construction may be decreased due to temporary lane closures. Sidewalks and bicycle lanes will improve pedestrian mobility. Ultimately, mobility is expected to be enhanced by the proposed project.
3.5 Aesthetic Effects The Preferred Alternative is not anticipated to result in the alteration or obstruction of scenic views associated with agricultural or park lands, Florida Scenic Highways or Byways, or other viewshed-sensitive features as none occur within or immediately adjacent to the project study area. In consideration of the environmental sensitivity at Mill Bayou, visual impacts for the proposed SR 390 bridge crossing are anticipated to be comparable to the existing condition. To assist in meeting the “small-town atmosphere” purpose statement within the Future Land Use Element of the City of Lynn Haven’s Comprehensive Plan, context-sensitive solutions such as aesthetic features and landscaping should be considered during the design phase so that the project is in harmony with the community and preserves and/or enhances the natural, environmental, scenic, and aesthetic values of the area. The placement and maintenance of any landscaping will comply with the required clear zone and sight distance at intersections. The proposed typical sections include bicycle lanes, sidewalks and grassed shoulder. In addition, the proposed medians will provide additional green areas to improve the appearance of the roadway for users, including bicyclists and pedestrians. Several business and outdoor advertising (ODA) signs exist along the study area. Potential impacts and permitting issues associated with these will be addressed as applicable during the project design phase. Therefore, the level of impact is not significant.
3.6 Relocation Potential A Conceptual Stage Relocation Plan (CSRP) (January 2019), was prepared under separate cover and included in the Type 2 Categorical Exclusion Page 15 of 33
SR 390 (E 14TH STREET) FROM SR 77 (OHIO AVENUE) TO SR 75 (US 231)// 421225-2-22-02 project file. The construction of the Preferred Alternative is anticipated to result in an estimated 15 business and 34 residential relocations. The residential relocations include owner and tenant resulting in approximate estimated occupancy of 84 residents. One (1) potentially displaced business serves special populations (Little Hearts Learning Center – child care/day care). There are also three (3) potentially impacted churches. These churches and the remaining businesses potentially impacted by the Preferred Alternative are not considered to have special characteristics, services to specialized clientele or cultural orientation. As detailed in the CSRP, the inventory of available decent, safe and sanitary housing units exceeds the potential demand for housing as a result of the potential residential displacements. Replacement housing (including hosing of last resort) is available in Bay County. Additionally, there are ample vacant replacement sites available for commercial use.
Within the project, there are 34 households with an estimated 84 total residents. It is estimated that approximately 20 percent of the residential and business displacees on this project will be minorities. It is estimated there are 16 elderly occupants (60 years and over) potentially impacted by this alternative. Field observations indicate there are four potentially impacted households with more than five family members and one impacted household with a disabled residential occupant who is potentially impacted by this alternative. The disabled resident may require special assistance in finding suitable replacement housing.
The amount of ROW required for the proposed roadway is 28.3 acres. Approximately 27.5 acres are required for stormwater management facilities (ponds) and 24.2 acres are required for floodplain compensation sites; see the Pond Sitting Report for more information. The total ROW to be acquired for the Preferred Alternative is 81.9 acres. Relocations needed for stormwater management facilities (ponds) and floodplain compensation sites are not included as their locations have not been set. The size and potential location of these ponds will be determined in subsequent design phases.
Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 3601-3619) guarantees each person equal opportunity in housing. Relocation resources are available to all residential and business relocates without discrimination. The level of impact is not significant.
In order to minimize the unavoidable effects of Right of Way acquisition and displacement of people, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will carry out a Right of Way and Relocation Assistance Program in accordance with Florida Statute 421.55, Relocation of displaced persons, and the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-646 as amended by Public Law 100-17).
3.7 Farmland Resources The project does not have any designated farmlands in the project area. Therefore, this project is not subject to the provisions of the Farmland Protection Policy Act of 1981 because it is located in an urbanized area.

4. Cultural Resources
The project will not have significant impacts to cultural resources. Below is a summary of the evaluation performed.
4.1 Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act A Cultural Resource Assessment Survey (CRAS) was conducted in accordance with 36 CFR Part 800 for the project, and the resources listed below were identified within the project Area of Potential Effect (APE). The APE was defined as the existing and proposed right-of-way and was extended to the back or side property lines of parcels from which ROW is proposed for acquisition, or a distance of no more than 100 meters (330 feet) from the SR 390 centerline. The archaeological survey was limited to the proposed SR 390 ROW. The historic architectural survey included the entire APE. This CRAS serves as an update to two previous surveys (Florida Master Site File [FMSF] Survey Nos. 15985 and 17993) conducted in 2008.
The Cultural Resource Assessment Survey Update in Support of the State Road 390 Improvements Project Development and Environment Study, Bay County, Florida (April 2019) was prepared under separate cover and is included in the project file. All work was performed in accordance with Part 2, Chapter 8 of FDOT’s PD&E Manual (revised January 2019); the provisions contained in Chapter 267, Florida Statutes (FS); the specifications set forth in Chapter 1A-46, Florida Administrative Code; and the standards contained in the Florida Division of Historical Resources’ (FDHR) Cultural Resource Management Standards & Operations Manual.
The archaeological survey consisted of background research and pedestrian survey within the project ROW, as the entire archaeological APE had been surveyed as part of a previous investigation (FMSF Survey No.15985). No artifacts were recovered, and no archaeological sites or occurrences were identified within the APE. No further archaeological survey is recommended in support of the proposed SR 390 improvements.
Background research indicated that 40 historic resources (50 years of age or older) are located within project’s APE, of which eight are previously-recorded and 32 are newly-recorded resources. The previously recorded resources include six historic buildings (8BY01544; 8BY01546; 8BY01838; 8BY02010; 8BY02099; 8BY02100); one historic bridge, (8BY01543); and one linear resource group (8BY01366). An additional three previously-recorded resources (8BY01545, 8BY01836, and 8BY01839) located within the APE were determined to have been demolished since they were last surveyed. The newly recorded historic resources include 31 historic buildings (8BY01543; 8BY01544; 8BY01546; 8BY01838; 8BY02010; 8BY02099; 8BY02100; 8BY02583-8BY02614) and one resource group (8BY01366). The surveyed buildings primarily consisted of individual residences, as well as three churches and minimal commercial construction. All of the recorded resources were built between 1940 and 1973. Of the eight previously-recorded resources, the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) had determined that the Atlanta & St. Andrews Bay (A&SAB) Railroad (aka Bay Line Railroad) linear resource (8BY01366) was eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Based upon the results of the current survey, the section of the A&SAB Railroad within the SR 390 improvements APE continues to meet the NRHP criteria for eligibility as a contributing segment of the overall 8BY01366 linear resource. The remaining seven previously-recorded resources and all 32 newly-recorded historic resources do not individually or collectively present sufficient architectural distinction or significant historical associations to meet the criteria for eligibility and are recommended ineligible for listing in the NRHP.
The A&SAB Railroad mainline runs along a corridor on the far eastern side of the T-intersection of SR 390 into SR 75 (US 231). Therefore, although it is within the SR 390 Improvements APE, the railroad corridor runs along the side of SR 75 opposite the approach of the SR 390 corridor from the west. The SR 390 project would involve no improvements along the east side of SR 75 at this intersection of the two highways. Accordingly, no disruption to the Type 2 Categorical Exclusion Page 17 of 33
SR 390 (E 14TH STREET) FROM SR 77 (OHIO AVENUE) TO SR 75 (US 231)// 421225-2-22-02 continued operation of railroad resource or alteration of its track alignment would be caused by implementation of the proposed project. As such, the proposed undertaking will have no effect on the A&SAB Railroad (8BY01366). No additional architectural history survey is recommended.
No other NRHP-eligible or listed cultural resources were identified within the project APE during the survey. Given the results of the CRAS, it is the opinion of FDOT District 3 that the proposed SR 390 project will have no effect on cultural resources listed or eligible for listing in the NRHP. No further work is recommended.
The CRAS Update was submitted to the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), who concurred with the findings on May 16, 2019. The SHPO concurrence letter is included as Attachment 2 within this document. The project will not have significant impacts to cultural resources.
4.2 Section 4(f) of the USDOT Act of 1966, as amended There are no properties in the within or immediately adjacent to the project area that are protected pursuant to Section 4(f) of the USDOT Act of 1966.
4.3 Section 6(f) of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 There are no properties in the project area that are protected pursuant to Section 6(f) of the Land and Water Conservation Fund of 1965.
4.4 Other Protected Public Lands There are no other protected public lands in the project area.

5. Natural Resources
The project will not have significant impacts to natural resources. Below is a summary of the evaluation performed:
5.1 Protected Species and Habitat The following evaluation was conducted pursuant to Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 as amended as well as other applicable federal and state laws protecting wildlife and habitat.
The project corridor was assessed for the presence of suitable habitat for federal- and state-listed protected species in accordance with 50 CFR Part 402 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended, Chapters 5B-40: Preservation of Native Flora of Florida and 68A-27, F.A.C. Rules Relating to Endangered or Threatened Species, and Part 2, Chapter 16 - Protect Species and Habitat of the FDOT PD&E Manual. Results were documented as part of the Natural Resource Evaluation (NRE) prepared for the proposed project in August 2018 and included in the project file.
Literature reviews, agency database searches and field reviews for protected species and their suitable habitat were conducted within and adjacent to the project corridor. Ten federal listed species, eighteen state listed species, and two managed non-listed species were determined to have a likelihood for utilization of habitats within or adjacent to the study area based on database and literature research, and field observations of available habitat. Based on the findings obtained during corridor field survey efforts, no federally- or state-protected faunal or floral species were observed within the project corridor. Effects determinations for the various federal and state-protected species are presented in the following paragraphs and the rationale for these determinations is found in the NRE document.
Federally-Listed Species A finding of may affect, not likely to adversely affect was determined for Florida skullcap (Scutellaria floridana), gentian pinkroot (Spigelia gentianoides), Godfrey’s butterwort (Pinguicula ionantha), white birds-in-a-nest (Macbridea alba), Gulf sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi), smalltooth sawfish (Pristis pectinata), reticulated flatwoods salamander (Ambystoma bishopi), eastern indigo snake (Drymarchon corais couperi), and West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus). A finding of may affect was determined for the Panama City crayfish (Procambarus econfinae) in preparation of this species being listed under the ESA. A finding of no effect was determined for the crystal lake nailwort (Paronychia chartacea), Harper’s beauty (Harperocallis flava), telephus spurge (Euphorbia telephioides), and red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis). Section 7 consultation with the USFWS and NMFS is not yet complete. Additionally, when pile-driving details are determined, the Department will re-initiate consultation with the USFWS and NMFS to determine the severity of underwater noise impacts which may occur during construction. Coordination with both agencies will continue during the Design phase of the project and will be completed prior to the project advancing to construction.
USFWS Critical Habitat Currently, no designated critical habitat for any federal listed species occurs within or adjacent to the project area.
State-Listed Species A finding of no adverse effect anticipated was determined for the bog buttons (Lachnocaulon digynum), Henry’s spider-lily (Hymenocallis henryae), pinewoods aster (Aster spinulosis), quillwort yellow-eyed grass (Xyris isoetifolia), southern milkweed (Ascelpias viridula), St. John’s black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia nitida), wiregrass gentian (Gentiana pennelliana), gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus), Florida pine snake (Pituophis melanoleucus mugitis), black skimmer (Rhynchops niger), least tern (Sterna antillarum), southeastern American kestrel (Falco sparverius paulus), little blue heron (Egretta caerulea), roseate spoonbill (Platalea ajaja), reddish egret (Egretta rufescens) and tricolored heron (Egretta tricolor). A finding of no effect anticipated was determined for the dark headed hatpins (Eriocaulon

SR 390 (E 14TH STREET) FROM SR 77 (OHIO AVENUE) TO SR 75 (US 231)// 421225-2-22-02 nigrobracteatum), mock pennyroyal (Stachydeoma graveolens), whitetop pitcherplant (Sarracenia leucophylla), and Florida burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia floridana).
Otherwise Protected Species A finding of no adverse effect anticipated was determined for the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and Florida black bear (Ursus americanus floridanus). Based on field reviews and inspection of available bridge reports, there is no evidence of bat usage or occupancy of the existing Mill Bayou bridge; therefore, exclusion activities are not anticipated to be necessary during construction.
As discussed further in NRE Section 6.4, multiple protection measures are to be employed to negate and minimize any potential effects to protected species. These measures will include more detailed field surveys and agency coordination during the project’s design phase, adherence to agency permit conditions during construction, relocation of any potentially affected gopher tortoises, measures to reduce potential Florida black bear conflicts during construction, and the use of species-specific standard protection measures during construction including: Construction Special Provisions for Sturgeon Protection Guidelines; Sea Turtle and Smalltooth Sawfish Construction Conditions; Standard Protection Measures for the Eastern Indigo Snake and Standard Manatee Conditions for In-Water Work. Based on the use of these measures and compensatory mitigation to offset habitat impacts, as applicable, the level of impact is not significant.
Agency coordination was conducted as part of the ETDM screening and Advance Notification review process. The ETDM screening process was used to become aware of any issues noted by the commenting agencies. ETDM coordination was conducted with USFWS, FWC, and NMFS (under Wetlands, Wildlife and Habitat, and Coastal and Marine headings). An NRE outlining the project's potential impacts to protected species and habitat, wetlands, and essential fish habitat was submitted to the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) Division of Plant Industry on DATE??. Coordination with these agencies is on-going. This document will be updated after consultation is completed.
5.2 Wetlands and Other Surface Waters The following evaluation was conducted pursuant to FDOT PD&E Manual Part 2, Chapter 9 – Wetlands and Other Surface Waters, Presidential Executive Order 11990 of 1977 as amended, Protection of Wetlands, and the USDOT Order 5660.1A, Preservation of the Nation's Wetlands.
As documented within the NRE prepared under separate cover for this project, the boundaries of all wetlands and other surface waters within the study area were approximated using both desktop and limited field reviews. No jurisdictional delineations/determinations were conducted. Based on the evaluation completed, approximately 34 acres of wetlands and other surface waters occur within the study area. Of these 34 acres, 3.27 acres may be impacted by the Preferred Alternative. Potentially impacted wetlands were quantitatively and qualitatively assessed using the Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM) as per Chapter 62-345, Florida Administrative Code. The Preferred Alternative evaluation resulted in a UMAM functional loss of -2.09 units. Surface waters proposed for impacts include wetlands adjacent to the existing roadway, Beatty Bayou, Mill Bayou, and Minge Branch.
On DATE??, the FDOT transmitted the NRE to the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Northwest Florida Water Management District (NWFWMD), Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the US Environmental Protection Agency for review and concurrence with the findings outlined in the NRE. Coordination with these agencies is on-going. This document will be updated after consultation is completed.

SR 390 (E 14TH STREET) FROM SR 77 (OHIO AVENUE) TO SR 75 (US 231)// 421225-2-22-02
Wetland impacts which will result from the construction of this project will be mitigated pursuant to Section 373.4137, F.S., to satisfy all mitigation requirements of Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S., and 33 U.S.C. §1344. The exact impact acreage and number of mitigation credits required to fully offset the lost value of functions resulting from the project’s wetland impacts will be determined during the design phase and in coordination with the state and federal environmental permitting agencies.
The project occurs within the geographic service areas of the Sweetwater Mitigation Bank (MB), Breakfast Point MB, and Bear Creek MB. The Horseshoe Creek MB, which is currently being permitted, is anticipated to provide saltmarsh mitigation credits.
In accordance with Executive Order 11990 and US DOT 5660.1A, and based on the documentation of existing wetland conditions as presented in this NRE, and in consideration of the Preferred Alternative and its effects on wetlands, it is hereby determined that: - The proposed project will have no significant short-term or long-term adverse impacts to wetlands. - There is no practicable alternative to construction in wetlands. - Measures have been taken to minimize harm to wetlands.
5.3 Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) In accordance with the FDOT PD&E Manual Part 2, Chapter 17 – Essential Fish Habitat and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act as amended (MSA), EFH occurring within the study area was identified, along with potential impacts to EFH which may result from construction of the Preferred Alternative. No Habitat Areas of Particular Concern (HAPCs) were identified.
EFH was identified within the study area for shrimp, red drum, Spanish and king mackerel, gray snapper, and gag grouper. Within the study area, EFH occurs at the Mill Bayou crossing and consists of saltmarsh; estuarine water column; and mud, sand, shell, and rock substrates. The depth of Mill Bayou at this crossing is estimated to be 4-5 ft deep. Although the portion of Mill Bayou within the study area is relatively shallow, it may provide spawning, breeding, and foraging habitat for a variety of important commercial and recreational fisheries and their prey species.
FDOT District Three has determined that the project will have “minimal” potential adverse effects on EFH. The Preferred Alternative will result in 0.19 acre of impacts to salt marsh, consisting primarily of shading and trimming impacts. Mitigation of the project’s salt marsh EFH impacts are anticipated to be completed in conjunction with the compensatory mitigation to offset wetland impacts. Due to construction of the two new bridges over Mill Bayou, there will be unavoidable impacts to the estuarine water column and substrates within the channel. Impacts to these EFH types will come from the volumetric displacement by bridge piles during construction and shading. Shading impacts are expected to be minimal due to the tidal nature of the crossing and low visibility within the water column. The extent of the volumetric loss impacts will be determined during the design of the SR 390 bridges, when the number and size of piles required for each bridge is determined.
As discussed previously in Section 5.1, this NRE has been submitted to NMFS for their review and comment and coordination is on-going. This document will be updated after consultation is completed.
5.4 Floodplains Floodplain impacts resulting from the project were evaluated pursuant to FDOT PD&E Manual Part 2, Chapter 13 – Floodplains, Executive Order 11988 of 1977, Floodplain Management, USDOT Order 5650.2, “Floodplain Management Protection”, and Federal‐Aid Policy Guide 23 CFR 650A.
As discussed in the Location Hydraulics Report (LHR)(May 2019) and Pond Siting Report (PSR)(May 2019), both Type 2 Categorical Exclusion Page 21 of 33
SR 390 (E 14TH STREET) FROM SR 77 (OHIO AVENUE) TO SR 75 (US 231)// 421225-2-22-02 prepared under separate cover and included in the project file, the project site is located on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Community‐Panel Numbers 12005C0332H, 12005C0351H, and 12005C0352H (effective date: June 2, 2009) in Bay County. Most of the project traverses FEMA Zone X (outside the 500-year floodplain) with short crossings over FEMA Zone A (100-year floodplain with no base flood elevation determined) and FEMA Zone AE (100-year floodplain with base flood, Elevation 7.0 feet, NAVD). The project crosses no regulatory floodways; however, the Mill Bayou regulatory floodway ends about 4,000 feet south of the corridor. Therefore, a “No-Rise” Certification is not anticipated to be necessary.
The floodplain is in a non‐urbanized, low density land use area with encroachments classified as "minimal" (per LHR Section 4.6). Minimal encroachments on a floodplain occur when there is floodplain involvement, but the impacts on human life, transportation facilities, and natural and beneficial floodplain values are not significant and can be resolved with minimal efforts. Impacts to the 100-year floodplain will occur in three ways: 1) transverse impacts resulting from the cross-drain extensions and bridge widening; 2) longitudinal impacts resulting from the road widening in areas of 100-year floodplain; and 3) impacts due to stormwater management facilities located adjacent to wetland and storage areas. The Preferred Alternative will result in approximately 12.5 acres of floodplain impact. Based on local floodplain elevations presented in the LHR, approximately 24.2 acres of floodplain compensation area will be needed to offset these impacts. Two cross drains within FEMA Zone A (Structures S-7 and S-8) are recommended for additional pipes to minimize flooding conditions that exist within and outside the SR 390 project limits. The remaining culverts are anticipated to be extended or replaced in kind. Any increases in head loss due to lengthening of cross drains are anticipated to be offset by reduction in drainage area due to diversion to stormwater facilities.
Floodplain compensation will be provided as necessary under the NWFWMD/FDEP and Bay County floodplain criteria. Floodplain compensation sites (FPC) will be required for the floodplain impacts located along the project corridor. Currently, seven floodplain compensation sites totaling 24.2 acres are recommended for the PD&E concept. The sizes and locations of FPC sites will be determined in subsequent design phases based on updated conditions and evaluations. A determination will need to be done during the design phase of the project to determine any changes to the 100-year floodplain elevations. Any fill into the floodplain may require an equal amount of excavation to provide “cup for cup” mitigation.
The proposed cross drains and floodplain compensation areas will perform hydraulically in a manner equal to or greater than the existing condition, and backwater surface elevations are not expected to increase. As a result, there will be no significant change in flood risk, and there will not be a significant change in the potential for interruption or termination of emergency service or in emergency evacuation routes. Therefore, it has been determined that this encroachment is not significant.
5.5 Sole Source Aquifer There is no Sole Source Aquifer associated with this project.
5.6 Water Quality and Stormwater In accordance with Part 2, Chapter 11 of the FDOT’s PD&E Manual, a Pond Siting Report (May 2019) and a Water Quality Impact Evaluation (WQIE) checklist (April 2019) were prepared for this project (under separate cover) to assess impacts to water quality and quantity resources that could potentially result from construction of the Preferred Alternative. These documents estimated stormwater management facility (SMF) requirements for stormwater runoff treatment (pollutant removal) and attenuation, identified preliminary stormwater pond locations, identified/estimated floodplain encroachments and identified preliminary floodplain compensation (FPC) sites for the project. The project is within Water Body IDs (WBIDs) 1084 (Direct Runoff to Bay), 1088 (Beatty Bayou), 1086 (Mill Bayou), and 1095 (Minge Bayou). WBIDs 1086 and 1088 are impaired for fecal coliform bacteria but not for nutrients. There are no waters of

Aquatic Preserves, Outstanding Florida Waters, Wild or Scenic Rivers or other water bodies of special designation within or immediately adjacent to the project. As such, enhanced water quality treatment criteria are not required. However, the project is within the NWFWMD’s St. Andrew Bay Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Plan (November 2017). There is currently minimal treatment of stormwater runoff from this portion of SR 390. The proposed stormwater management facilities are anticipated to result in an overall water quality benefit as consistent with the goals and objectives of the existing SWIM Plan.
Drainage for the existing roadway is provided through collection and conveyance by open roadside ditches, side drains, ditch bottom inlets, and cross drains. The stormwater runoff for the Preferred Alternative will be collected and conveyed to stormwater treatment facilities via curb, gutter, and pipes. The water quality and runoff attenuation will be achieved through the construction of offsite wet ponds, which will require the acquisition of additional right-of-way. Based on preliminary estimates, 11 ponds totaling approximately 27.5 acres are recommended for the PD&E concept. The sizes and locations of stormwater management facilities will be determined in subsequent design phases based on updated conditions and evaluations. The proposed stormwater facilities will be designed to meet state water quality and quantity requirements as required by the NWFWMD in Chapter 62-330, FAC (and applicable Applicant’s Handbook) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Water quality impacts resulting from erosion and sedimentation will be controlled in accordance with regulatory agency permits and adherence to the FDOT's Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction (Section 104 “Prevention, Control, and Abatement of Erosion and Water Pollution”).
5.7 Aquatic Preserves There are no aquatic preserves in the project area.
5.8 Outstanding Florida Waters There are no Outstanding Florida Waters (OFW) in the project area.
5.9 Wild and Scenic Rivers There are no designated Wild and Scenic Rivers in the project area.
5.10 Coastal Barrier Resources There are no Coastal Barrier Resources in the project area.

6. Physical Resources
The project will not have significant impacts to physical resources. Below is a summary of the evaluation performed for these resources.
6.1 Highway Traffic Noise The following evaluation was conducted pursuant to 23 CFR 772 and Section 335.17, F.S., Procedures for Abatement of Highway Traffic Noise and Construction Noise.
A Noise Study Report (NSR) was prepared in August 2019 (under separate cover) for the proposed project in accordance with Title 23 Code of Federal Regulations Part 772 (23 CFR 772), Procedures for Abatement of Highway Traffic Noise and Construction Noise (effective July 13, 2011), using methodology established by the FDOT in the PD&E Manual, Part 2, Chapter 18 (updated January 2019) and the Traffic Noise Modeling and Analysis Practitioners Handbook (dated January 1, 2016). The NSR is included in the project file. The NSR utilized the August 2019 conceptual design plans for the proposed project, which included the Preferred Alternative. The objectives of the NSR were to identify noise-sensitive sites adjacent to the project corridor, to evaluate the existing and future traffic noise levels at the sites with the proposed improvements, and to evaluate the need for and effectiveness of noise abatement measures. Additional objectives include the evaluation of construction noise and vibration impacts, and the identification of noise "contours", which are provided to assist local authorities in exercising land use control over the remaining undeveloped lands, so as to avoid development of lands for use by incompatible activities adjacent to the roadways within the local jurisdictions.
The prediction of existing and future traffic noise levels with the proposed roadway improvements was performed using FHWA's Traffic Noise Model (TNM - Version 2.5). The TNM propagates sound energy, in one-third octave bands, between highways and nearby receptors, taking into account the intervening ground's acoustical characteristics and topography, and rows of buildings. Highway traffic noise impacts occurred at two of the 542 receptors for both the existing conditions and the no-build condition. These two locations represented residences, and both represent relocations during the build condition.
Within Segment 1 (S.R. 77 (Ohio Avenue) to Delaware Avenue) and Segment 2 (Delaware Avenue to S.R. 75), the study area was divided into 6 distinct noise sensitive common noise environments (CNEs) within the project limits (CNE’s 1 and 2 within Segment 1 and CNE’s 3 through 6 within Segment 2). As a result of the proposed design, all six of the CNEs would experience design year noise levels that approach or exceed the NAC for the intended land use category. Of the 542 receptor locations modeled, a total of 83 traffic noise level impacts were predicted, all residences (Activity Category B) within the project vicinity, as a result of them approaching or exceeding the Federal and State Noise Abatement Criteria. Seven of the 83 receptors also had substantial impacts (i.e., potential traffic noise level increase of more than 15 dB(A) above existing conditions). The substantial impacts occur at specific receptors within CNE 2 (within roadway Segment 1).
Within Segment 1, a total of 280 individual noise receptors were modeled, representing 275 residences (Activity Category B), of which 19 receptors represented relocations, and 5 churches (Activity Category D). Within Segment 2, a total of 261 individual noise receptors were modeled, representing 252 residences (Activity Category B), of which 4 represented relocations, 2 churches, North Bay Haven Charter Academy athletic field (4 receptors, Activity Category C), Nature Walk Golf Course (2 receptors, Activity Category C), and the Riverside Pool (1 receptor, Activity Category C).
The results of the noise abatement analysis are discussed further in Section 3.4.3 of the Noise Study Report. Based Type 2 Categorical Exclusion Page 24 of 33
SR 390 (E 14TH STREET) FROM SR 77 (OHIO AVENUE) TO SR 75 (US 231)// 421225-2-22-02 on the noise analyses performed to date, there are no feasible solutions available to mitigate the noise impacts at CNEs 1, 2, or 3 for various reasons (e.g., limited number or isolated distribution of impacted receptors, limitations to barrier length due to cross streets or driveway access and/or roadway sight distance/safety considerations). However, portions within CNEs 4 (Derby Woods community located east and west of Belmont Boulevard), CNE 5 (Riverside community located west of Cato Road), and CNE 6 (West portion of the Grant’s Mill community, located west of Grants Mill Drive) meet the FDOT’s feasibility and reasonableness criteria for noise barrier consideration. For the Derby Woods community, the optimum barrier would be a total of 1,550 feet long and 16 feet high, would benefit a total of 18 receptors, and is below the FDOT’s cost per benefitted receptor criterion. For the Riverside Community, a barrier 1,100 feet long and 12 feet high provides a 7 dB(A) or greater noise reduction for 5 receptors, benefits a total of 11 receptors and is below the FDOT’s cost per benefitted receptor criterion. For the Grant’s Mill (West) community, a noise barrier 600 feet long and 12 feet high would provide at least a 5 dB(A) reduction benefit to four impacted receptors, plus two additional receptors. The recommended barrier would also meet the 7-decibel design goal noise reduction factor for three impacted residences, while still meeting FDOT’s cost per benefitted receptor criterion
The location of all barriers analyzed, including reasonable noise barriers, can be found in Appendix C of the NSR. The Florida Department of Transportation is committed to the construction of feasible and reasonable noise abatement measures at the noise impacted locations for CNE 4, CNE 5, and CNE 6 contingent upon the following conditions: 1. Final recommendations on the construction of abatement measures is determined during the project’s final design and through the public involvement process; 2. Detailed noise analyses during the final design process support the need, feasibility and reasonableness of providing abatement; 3. Cost analysis indicates that the cost of the noise barrier(s) will not exceed the cost reasonable criteria; 4. Community input supporting types, heights, and locations of the noise barrier(s) is provided to the District Office; and 5. Safety and engineering aspects as related to the roadway user and the adjacent property owner have been reviewed and any conflicts or issues resolved.
The predominant construction activities associated with the SR 390 (East 14th Street) improvement project are expected to be earth removal, hauling, grading, and paving. Construction activities such as usage of pile-hammers (pile-driving), and impact hammers (jack hammers, hoe rams, etc.) may create sporadic, temporary, but disruptive construction noise and/or vibration impacts to nearby sensitive receptors.
Construction of the proposed project may cause temporary noise and/or vibration impacts to nearby developed land uses. If additional land uses are developed in the vicinity of the proposed project prior to construction, then additional construction noise and vibration impacts could occur. It anticipated that application of the FDOT’s Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction will minimize potential construction noise and vibration impacts. Therefore, the level of impact is not significant.
6.2 Air Quality The project is located in an area which is designated attainment for all of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards under the criteria provided in the Clean Air Act. Therefore, the Clean Air Act conformity requirements do not apply to this project.
This project is expected to improve traffic flow by adding capacity to relieve congestion, which should reduce operational greenhouse gas emissions. Construction-phase air quality impacts will be temporary and will primarily be in the form of emissions from diesel-powered construction equipment and dust from construction activities. Air pollution associated with the creation of airborne particles will be effectively controlled through the use of watering or the

Therefore, the Preferred Alternative is expected to have no significant impact on air quality.
6.3 Contamination A Level I contamination evaluation was conducted for the study and a Contamination Screening Evaluation Report (CSER) (July 2019) was prepared under separate cover pursuant to FHWA’s Technical Advisory T 6640.8A and the FDOT PD&E Manual, Part 2 Chapter 20. The Level I assessment was conducted to identify and evaluate sites containing hazardous materials, petroleum products, or other sources of potential environmental contamination along the SR 390 project corridor.
The CSER included standard environmental site assessment practices of reviewing records of regulatory agencies, site reconnaissance, literature review, and personal interviews of individuals and business owners within the limits of the project. For purposes of this report, the project study area included the limits of the mainline project and a 300-foot buffer area extending beyond those boundaries (500-foot buffer at intersections).
Based on a document and site review, a total of 28 sites were identified for potential contamination involvement within the study area. Of these, 5 sites were ranked “High”, 7 sites were ranked “Medium” and 16 sites were ranked “Low” for potential contamination. All remaining adjacent properties not identified in this report were given a “No” rating. A summary of the information on the “High” and “Medium” sites is provided in Table 5. More detailed information for each facility is provided in the CSER.
For the sites ranked “Low”, no further action is required at this time. These sites/facilities have the potential to impact the proposed project, based on select variables these have been determined to have low risk to the project at this time. Variables that may change the risk ranking include a facility’s non-compliance to environmental regulations, new discharges to the soil or groundwater, and modifications to current permits. Should any of these variables change, assessment of these facilities shall be conducted during subsequent project development phases.
For those locations with a risk ranking of “High” or “Medium”, including any proposed stormwater treatment ponds and/or floodplain compensation sites outside the FDOT right-of-way, Level II screening will be conducted during the design phase if it is determined during the project’s design that construction activities could be in their vicinity or if the site will be subject to right-of-way acquisition. Currently, the Preferred Alternative will require right-of-way acquisition from two “High”-ranked sites: KAMAX C&D Landfill, (Site 51); Hancock’s Cutoff BP (Site 57) and five “Medium”-ranked sites: Private Property (Site 36); Express Lane #93 (Site 37); Texaco Food Store #4171 (Site 39); Pitts Sand Company (Site 52); and Tom Thumb #133 (Site 56). The location of parcels identified as having a potential for contamination impact are shown in Appendix I of the CSER document.
If dewatering will be necessary during construction, a NWFWMD Water Use Permit will be required. The Contractor will be responsible for obtaining and ensuring compliance with any necessary dewatering permit(s). Any dewatering operations in the vicinity of potentially contaminated areas are expected to be limited to low-flow, short-term operations. A dewatering plan may be necessary to avoid potential contamination plume exacerbation.
The “High” and “Medium” ranked sites identified and any newly-identified sites will be evaluated further during the project design phase(s), including Level II testing as necessary. Future project design plans will contain marked contamination polygons and general notes as applicable. The FDOT will oversee any remediation activities necessary.
It should be noted that buildings and bridge structures constructed prior to the regulation of asbestos-containing Type 2 Categorical Exclusion Page 26 of 33
SR 390 (E 14TH STREET) FROM SR 77 (OHIO AVENUE) TO SR 75 (US 231)// 421225-2-22-02 materials and lead-based coatings have a potential for hazardous material impacts during demolition. The use of asbestos materials was generally banned in 1977 and lead-based paint was generally banned in 1978. As a result, structures constructed prior to 1980 have a high potential to contain asbestos and/or lead-based paint. A review of the Bay County Property Appraiser’s database indicates many of the structures within the project corridor were constructed prior to 1980. As a result, ROW acquisition which would include the demolition of any building structure will require and lead-based paint screening.

As such, Chapter 20 of the FDOT’s PD&E Manual states the following: “Based on the age of the bridge, lead-based coating shall be assumed to be present within faying surfaces of splices and top flanges embedded in concrete decks as well as other surfaces. Abatement plans for handling, management and removal of asbestos-containing materials and lead-based coating must be prepared before demolition, modification or rehabilitation of the existing bridge.”
Additionally, Section 120, Excavation and Embankment – Subarticle 120.1.2, Unidentified Areas of Contamination of the FDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction will be provided in the project construction documents. This specification requires that in the event that any hazardous material or suspected contamination is encountered during construction, or if any spills caused by construction-related activities should occur, the Contractor shall be instructed to stop work immediately and notify the District, as well as the appropriate regulatory agencies for assistance. Based on 1) the future completion of Level II field screening for the “High” and “Medium” risk ranked sites identified, 2) the completion of contamination remediation activities as determined necessary (following future testing activities), 3) the inclusion of the appropriate contamination demarcation in the construction plans, and 4) adherence to standard specs related to handling known and unknown contamination. Contamination is not expected to have a significant impact on the project.
6.4 Utilities and Railroads Widening SR 390 will require relocations of some existing utilities. Cost estimates will be finalized in the final design phase. The FDOT’s coordination with potentially affected utility owners started during the PD&E study and will continue throughout Design and Construction phases. Project design will seek to avoid and minimize impacts to existing utilities to the extent feasible within roadway right-of-way. A full discussion of utilities can be found in Sections 4.1.10 and 8.11 of the PER prepared under separate cover.
The A&SAB (Bay Line) Railroad mainline runs along a corridor on the far eastern side of the tee intersection of SR 390 into SR 75 (US 231). However, this feature is outside the current project limits and no disruptions in service are anticipated.
Therefore, the Preferred Alternative is anticipated to have no significant impacts to utilities or railroads.
6.5 Construction Entrances to all businesses will be maintained to the maximum extent possible during project construction. A Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plan will be developed during final design for the implementation of the Preferred Alternative.
Construction activities for the proposed project will have temporary air, noise, water quality, traffic flow, and visual effects for the residents and travelers within the immediate vicinity of the project. These effects will be minimized through the application of the Department's Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction. Expected construction impacts from the project activities are not significant.

9. Public Involvement
A comprehensive Public Involvement Program was conducted for this project in compliance with the FDOT PD&E Manual, Part 1, Chapter 11.
Through the Efficient Transportation Decision Making (ETDM) process (project #14201), FDOT informed numerous federal, state, and local agencies of the project and its scope. The Environmental Technical Advisory Team (ETAT) provided their comments on the project’s purpose and need and issued their Degree of Effect (DOE) findings by resource area. Upon completion of the ETDM Programming Screen review, the Programming Screen Summary Report was developed and published on April 12, 2019 with FDOT’s response to each DOE finding as well as discussion about the overall project. As a result of the ETDM screening, there were no substantial comments received.
An alternatives public workshop was held on March 12, 2019 from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm at Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church Parish Hall, 5622 Julie Drive, Panama City, FL 32404. The purpose of the workshop was to provide an opportunity for the public to provide comments regarding the location and conceptual design of the proposed improvements to SR 390 within the project limits. A meeting announcement was sent to public officials, agencies, and property owners on the mailing list. In accordance with FDOT’s PD&E Manual guidelines, a quarter-page legal display advertisement was published in The News Herald on February 25, 2019. One hundred nineteen citizens signed the attendance sheets at the public workshop and 24 written comments were received. There were four comments expressing opposition to the project with the rest supporting it explicitly (three) or asking for more information/making suggestions. The top topics were noise along the project corridor and access management. All comments received were taken into consideration in the development of the alternatives.
A public hearing is scheduled for September 19, 2019. Following the completion of the hearing, this section will be updated and include the certified public hearing transcript. All project public and agency coordination will be summarized within a Comments and Coordination Report to be completed following the hearing.
