Description of the impact likely to result from the proposed taking. A. Introduction The Proposed project is for the construction of a shared use trail in the City of Newton which will provide access from an existing trail to Peterson Park. The project has an anticipated construction timeframe beginning in the Spring 2020 with completion approximately 1 year later (weather and river dependant). The scope of work includes creating a Riverwalk and installing a retaining wall. See location Map included as Appendix D for location of instream work. The total length of the project is 0.81 miles (500’ (0.1 mile) of the 0.81 miles will be instream work). The project will be conducted within existing Right-of-Way so there will be no land acquisition. There will be in stream work to the Embarras River. IDNR’s response to the EcoCAT on May 18, 2018 recommended obtaining an Incidental Take Authorization (ITA) for the state-threatened Eastern Sand Darter and the state-endangered Smooth Softshell turtle in order to minimize or avoid potential adverse impacts to these species. A determination for all other natural resources in the project vicinity can be found in the Natural Resources Review Memo (NRR) (Attached as appendix C). B.
