    Union Station to Oak Cliff Dallas Streetcar Dallas, Texas Environmental Assessment July 2011 In conjunction with Union Station to Oak Cliff Dallas Streetcar INTRODUCTION FOR WHAT PURPOSE HAS THIS DOCUMENT BEEN PREPARED? Many federally-funded projects, such as the one proposed within, must be reviewed under a number of environmental statutes, regulations, and executive orders. This environmental assessment (EA), prepared pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) implementing regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500–1508) and the NEPA implementing procedures of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) (23 CFR Part 771), briefly discusses (1) the need for the proposal, (2) alternatives to the proposal as required by §102(2)(E), (3) the environmental impacts of the proposed action and alternatives, and (4) list of agencies and persons consulted (40 CFR §1508.9). In December 2010, FTA awarded a $23 million Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant award to support a streetcar project within the City of Dallas, Texas. TIGER is a component of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This project is consistent with the North Central Texas Council of Government’s (NCTCOG) Mobility 2030: The Metropolitan Transportation Plan for the Dallas-Fort Worth Area, 2009 Amendment and Mobility 2035: The Metropolitan Transportation Plan for North Central Texas. WHO IS THE PROJECT SPONSOR? The FTA is lead agency for the proposed action – the Union Station to Oak Cliff Streetcar TIGER Project. As the grant recipient, the NCTCOG is the project sponsor and current owner. Upon completion of the proposed action, ownership would be transferred to the City of Dallas.

  • Geology of the Oak Cliff Quadrangle, Dallas County, Texasl Wilson Bryan2
    Geology of the Oak Cliff Quadrangle, Dallas County, Texasl Wilson Bryan2 ABSTRACT Consolidated marine rocks of the Oak Cliff Quadrangle belong to a portion of the Upper Cretaceous Austin formation. On the basis of lithology the formation is divided into a lower chalk and a middle marl. Buried channels, some 6 feet deep and 95 feet across, occur in the lower chalk. They result from submarine scouring, indicating that ·deposition was not a continuous process. Bentonite seams, some as much as 6 inches thick, occur at various horizons in the lower chalk, pointing to periodic volcanic activity. Numerous small normal faults in the Austin formation may have resulted from differential compaction of the underlying, incompetent, Eagle Ford shale. Unconsolidated Quaternary alluvial deposits occur along the Trinity river, with terrace surfaces approximately 110, 65, and 26 feet above the floodplain. The terrace material consists of reworked chalk and marl, foraminiferal sands, silts, sands, and gravel. Introduction The Oak Cliff Quadrangle, as defined here, is a rectangu- 1ar area including approximately 64 square miles of south­ <!entral Dallas County, Texas (Fig. 1). It is bounded by the parallels 32° 37' 30" and 32° 45' 00" and by meridians 96° 45' 00° and 96° 52' 30". Physiographically, this area is part of the Black Prairie region of the Gulf Coastal Plain. Located on the gentle back slope of the White Rock cuesta, the area slants to the east in the same direction as the dip ,of the Austin formation. Topography of the entire area is one of low rolling hills, excepting a narrow portion in the north and northeast where the Trinity River has cut through the resistant lower Austin, leaving high bluffs flanking the river.
