  • Chapter Provides Information on EGC ESP Site Location, On-Site
    CHAPTER 2 Site Characteristics This chapter provides information on the EGC ESP Site location, on-site activities and controls, present and projected population distribution, meteorological, hydrological, geological, and seismological characteristics. The purpose of presenting this information is to provide the bases for demonstrating the adequacy of the site characteristics from a site safety viewpoint and to provide input to support environmental characterization. The influence of the EGC ESP site characteristics on the design and operation of a possible future nuclear power facility will be assessed at the construction and operating license (COL) stage pursuant to 10 CFR 52 Subpart C. REV2 2-1 CHAPTER 2 - SITE CHARACTERISTICS SITE SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT FOR EGC EARLY SITE PERMIT SECTION 2.1 – GEOGRAPHY AND DEMOGRAPHY 2.1 Geography and Demography 2.1.1 Site Location and Description 2.1.1.1 Specification of Location The EGC ESP Facility will be co-located on the property of the existing CPS Facility and its associated 4,895 ac man-made cooling reservoir (Clinton Lake) (CPS, 2002). The EGC ESP Facility will be located approximately 700 ft south of the existing CPS Facility. The CPS Facility lies within Zone 16 of the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates. The exact UTM coordinates for the EGC ESP Facility will depend upon the specific reactor technology selected for deployment and will be finalized at COL. As shown on Figures 1.2-1 and 2.1-1 there is a complex transportation system surrounding the EGC ESP Site. The nearest major highways are Illinois State Routes 54, 10, and 48, all of which cross the CPS Facility property.

  • The Greater Chicago Region: a Logistics Epicenter
    the greater chicago region By Mike Kirchhoff, CEcD, and Jody Peacock Fully one third of rail and truck traf- fic – and half the nation’s container traffic – pass through the Chicago region. While these statistics are impres- sive, Chicago’s infrastructure is being pushed to its limit. And projections point to more challenges ahead. In 2001 the Chicago Area Transportation Study (the Chicago region’s transporta- tion planning agency) projected 600 more daily trains in the region within 20 years (2,400 trains/year), and pro- jected an increase in Intermodal lifts of more than 250 percent in the same time period. Market impacts such as these are projected to demand more than 7,000 additional acres of land for Intermodal facilities.

  • Chapter Five: Transportation
    CHAPTER FIVE: TRANSPORTATION Transportation Recommendations Summary . Recognize that the County’s transportation network is critical to its economic health. Maintain state and county highways, and make improvements primarily to address safety concerns. Update County highway access control standards to ensure safe access. Prepare model specifications for new town roads to assure proper construction. Support and plan for pedestrian and bicycle facilities, including the Ice Age Trail and connections to it Highway Committee Review Draft #1: February 2015 Page 1 This chapter includes background information, goals, objectives, policies and recommended programs to guide the future development and maintenance of various modes of transportation in Marquette County over the 20-year planning period. Given the County’s rural setting, the primary focus is on highways and local roads. The chapter also compares the County’s transportation policies and programs to state and regional transportation plans. A. EXISTING TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES Access is a key determinant of growth because it facilitates the flow of goods and people. Marquette County is well connected to the region through the existing roadway network, especially the Interstate. Other transportation facilities, such as freight rail and bike and recreational trails and routes, are also found in the County. This section summarizes the County’s existing transportation facilities. ROADWAYS Marquette County is served by Interstate 39 and four state trunk highways, all of which link the County with the region’s major cities. These links are vital to the County’s tourism and recreation-based economy, as well as channeling product and commuter flows. Interstate 39 serves as the County’s primary north-south traffic artery.

  • Chapter V: Transportation
    City of Beloit Comprehensive Plan Chapter V: Transportation Chapter V: Transportation Work with WisDOT on the Interstate 39/90/43 interchange reconstruction project to ensure its timely completion and better access to the local road network, particularly for lands east of Interstate 39/90. Advance towards construction of the proposed Inman/Freeman Parkway and Highway 81 bypass to serve peripheral area development, relocate heavy traffic, and improve access to the north and west sides. Maintain and enhance the area’s local, collector, and arterial road network, with improvements targeted to key roadways like Prairie Avenue. Enhance Beloit as a walkable, bikable City through developing an interconnected sidewalk and trail network, carefully considering the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians in road design, and requiring designs of new developments that have the pedestrian in mind. In an era of rising fuel costs, enhance in-town and intercity mobility for people and products through investments in busses, other ridesharing, and rail. Adopted: March 17, 2008 119 City of Beloit Comprehensive Plan Chapter V: Transportation Adopted: March 17, 2008 120 City of Beloit Comprehensive Plan Chapter V: Transportation This chapter includes background information, goals, objectives, policies, and recommended programs to guide the future development and maintenance of various modes of transportation in the City of Beloit over the 20-year planning period.
