In addition, FEMA may revise part of this FIS by the Letter of Map Revision process, which does not involve republication or redistribution of the FIS. It is, therefore, the responsibility of the user to consult with community officials and to check the Community Map Repository to obtain the most current FIS components. Selected Flood Insurance Rate Map panels for this community contain information that was previously shown separately on the corresponding Flood Boundary and Floodway Map panels (e.g., floodways, cross sections).

  • Existing Conditions - Environment 4 Existing Conditions - Environment
    Existing Conditions - Environment 4 Existing Conditions - Environment In August of 2005, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act - A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) transportation funding authorization bill was signed into law. With the passage of SAFETEA-LU came new criteria which were required to be added to all LRTP documents in the United States. In 2007, CUUATS developed an addendum to the 2004 LRTP which included additional information required by SAFETEA-LU pertaining to the environment, safety, security, and a public participation plan. This chapter is an update of the 2007 addendum but also builds upon that information to include MOEs related to environmental quality and natural features in the metropolitan planning area. This chapter will provide a complete environmental resource inventory, discuss possible mitigation measures for each resource and describe the MOE being used to track progress into the future where applicable. Not all environmental resources will have a MOE associated with it. 4.1 Air Quality The Environmental Protection Act of the State of Illinois regulates the concentrations of six pollutants: carbon monoxide (CO), lead (Pb), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter (PM), ozone (O3), and sulfur dioxide (SO2). Table 4.1 shows a summary of each pollutant and standards for the United States. Primary Standards refer to air quality levels required to protect public health with an adequate margin of safety. Secondary Standards, or welfare standards, refer to air quality levels required to safeguard visibility, comfort, animals, and property from the deleterious effects of poor air quality1. The US EPA lowered the ozone standards for the 8-hour averaging time in 2008 from 0.08 to 0.075.

Citizens, boards and commissions, Council Members and City staff are all solicited for input into the goal setting process. The City Council reviews all of this input and selects a relatively small number of top priority fi ve-year goals for the City. They also identify several actions for the next one - two years to address each goal. The City Council Goals provide direction in determining how limited fi nancial and staff resources are allocated. Staff prepares implementation plans for each City Council Goal Action, and written evaluations are conducted periodically to measure progress on each. The following goals were specifi cally targeted at the University District and carried throughout this Action Plan. Our Community is the Home of the University of Illinois – A World Class University • Implement the recommendations of the Campus Area Transportation Plan.
