  • Existing Environment Water Resources
    SEHSR Richmond, VA, to Raleigh, NC EXISTING ENVIRONMENT A condensed format was used for this Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), as clarified in the Executive Summary of this report. The following discussion on the existing environment describes existing conditions associated with the natural environment, land features, air quality, noise, visual conditions, cultural and community resources, transportation, and infrastructure within the Southeast High Speed Rail (SEHSR) Richmond to Raleigh Project Study Area. The Study Area for the natural and physical environment, cultural resources, and infrastructure varies from 300 to 1,000 feet in width depending on the resource, and is centered about the existing rail line or right of way (ROW). In areas where the existing railroad curves do not meet the design standards for high speed rail, the Study Area expands to approximately 500 feet outside of the proposed rail realignments. The Study Areas for the human environment, noise, and air quality are generally larger than the Project area boundaries. The larger Study Areas are defined by regions of influence in which a resource may potentially have noticeable project-related impacts. Regions of influence for human resources account for factors such as community sizes, geographical and political boundaries, and census boundaries. These human resources include social and economic issues, community resources, and land use planning. The air quality Study Area is influenced by local and regional atmospheric conditions. The noise Study Area is determined by the limit of noise intrusions associated with the project. All references to “Study Area” and “Project” below pertain to the Richmond to Raleigh Project, unless otherwise noted.

  • Environmental Consequences
    4 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES D.C. TO RICHMOND SOUTHEAST HIGH SPEED RAIL 4 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES The discussion on environmental consequences summarizes potential effects on the human, physical, and natural environments that may result from construction and operation of the Washington, D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail Project (DC2RVA Project). The existing environment within the study area was described in Chapter 3. The effects presented in this chapter are based on the conceptual engineering developed for the Build Alternatives. Effects are identified for each alternative within the six areas defined for the Project in detail in Chapter 2 and summarized below in Table 4.0-1. Table 4.0-1: Summary of Build Alternatives Alternative Area Alternative Description Area 1: Arlington 1A Add Two Tracks on the East (Long Bridge Approach) 1B Add Two Tracks on the West 1C Add One Track East and One Track West Area 2: Northern Virginia 2A Add One Track/Improve Existing Track (Long Bridge to Dahlgren Spur) Area 3: Fredericksburg 3A Maintain Two Tracks Through Town (Dahlgren Spur to Crossroads) 3B Add One Track East of Existing 3C Add Two-Track Bypass East Area 4: Central Virginia 4A Add One Track/Improve Existing Track (Crossroads to Doswell) Area 5: Ashland 5A Maintain Two Tracks Through Town (Doswell to I-295) 5A–Ashcake Maintain Two Tracks Through Town (Relocate Station to Ashcake) 5B Add One Track East of Existing 5B–Ashcake Add One Track East of Existing (Relocate Station to Ashcake) 5C Add Two-Track West Bypass 5C–Ashcake Add Two-Track

  • DC2RVA Tier II Draft Environmental Impact Statement and Section 4(F)
    2 ALTERNATIVES D.C. TO RICHMOND SOUTHEAST HIGH SPEED RAIL ALTERNATIVES 2 2.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the process used by the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) to develop the alternatives evaluated in the Tier II Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Washington, D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail (DC2RVA) Project. The following sections summarize the Southeast High Speed Rail (SEHSR) Tier I EIS alternatives and the Tier II Draft EIS planning dates. The remainder of Chapter 2 summarizes the Tier II Draft EIS alternatives development and evaluation process, including alternatives considered but dismissed and descriptions of the Build Alternatives evaluated in detail in the Tier II Draft EIS. Further details on the development and screening of the Tier II Draft EIS alternatives are in the Alternatives Technical Report in Appendix A. 2.1.1 SEHSR Tier I EIS Alternatives Summary The DC2RVA Tier II EIS builds on the decisions the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) made as part of the SEHSR Tier I EIS and Record of Decision, completed in 2002 (Figure 2.1-1). The SEHSR Tier I EIS addressed the development, implementation, and operation of higher speed passenger rail service in the approximately 500- mile travel corridor from Washington, D.C. through Richmond, VA and Raleigh, NC to Charlotte, NC1. The SEHSR Tier I EIS considered the no build option and nine alternatives utilizing combinations of existing track sections. The study area for each SEHSR Tier I alternative was a six-mile wide corridor, centered on existing rail rights-of-way, between Washington, D.C.
