She added that this amendment is to transfer $9,500 from Personnel Services to Professional Services/Consultant Services so that a consultant can be hired for future land use technical assistance.

Roberts advised that he has not received any comments from Pennington County regarding left hand turns at the intersection of Dunsmore Road and Sheridan Lake Road.

Eighty Years of Vegetation and Landscape Changes in the Northern Great Plains: A Photographic Record. U.S. Depart- ment of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Conser- vation Research Report No. 45. This publication is a photographic record of vegetation and landscape changes that have occurred at selected sites in the Northern Great Plains over the past 80 to 90 years. Based on photographic and written records, the authors found few changes had taken place other than (1) a general increase in the density and cover of woody plant species, particularly Ponderosa pine; (2) those resulting from direct human intervention, such as tillage, haying, and road con- struction; and (3) a general increase in nonindigenous spe- cies, particularly yellow sweet clover and created wheat- grass, as they escape from roadside restoration projects and agronomic plantings.

  • Spring Creek Neighborhood Area Future Land Use Plan
    Spring Creek Neighborhood Area FUTURE LAND USE PLAN in conjunction with the Rapid City Area Metropolitan Planning Organization and the South Dakota Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration SPRING CREEK NEIGHBORHOOD AREA Spring Creek Neighborhood Area Future Land Use Plan Executive Summary The Future Land Use Plan is an indispensable tool for all sectors of the community. Local government can invest public infrastructure dollars more wisely if the location and magnitude of anticipated growth is identified. Private sector businesses can use the Plan to make more accurate growth projections and better position themselves to meet the needs of the future population. The Plan will provide developers and landowners with a clear idea of the location and type of development desired by the community thus saving time and money in assembling development plans. The Plan will enable individual citizens to be more aware of how the community and their specific neighborhoods will develop, assisting them in making more informed decisions about where to live and work. The Spring Creek Neighborhood Area Future Land Use Plan includes land within corporate city limits, the three-mile platting jurisdiction and the Metropolitan Planning Organization planning jurisdiction. The Spring Creek Neighborhood Area encompasses approximately 29,995 acres and is located in the southwestern portion of the community. The following points summarize the intent of the Spring Creek Neighborhood Area Future Land Use Plan: • Residential growth patterns will increase as single family dwelling units; • Extension of infrastructure is identified to support the anticipated growth patterns; and • South Dakota Highway 79 and United States Highway 16 are entryway corridors into Rapid City.

  • Final Environmental Impact Statement Appendix
    Final Environmental Impact Statement and National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 Consultation: Reconfiguration of VA Black Hills Health Care System U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Black Hills Health Care System November 2016 This page intentionally left blank. Final Environmental Impact Statement VA Black Hills Health Care System Reconfiguration November 2016 PREFACE What is NEPA and How Does it Apply to Federal Actions? • Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), federal agencies must comply with the procedural requirements of NEPA before they make final decisions about major federal actions that could have effects on the human environment. For purposes of NEPA, “effects” and “impacts” mean the same thing. They include ecological, aesthetic, historic, cultural, economic, social, or health impacts, whether adverse or beneficial and whether direct, indirect, or cumulative. “Human environment” includes the natural and physical environment and the relationship of people with that environment. • NEPA’s procedural requirements pertain to a federal agency’s projects, programs, plans, policies, and proposals. NEPA applies when a federal agency has discretion to choose among one or more alternative means of accomplishing a particular goal. • NEPA requires federal agencies to consider environmental effects in their decision making. It does not require the decision maker to select the environmentally preferable alternative or prohibit adverse environmental effects. Decision makers in federal agencies often have other concerns and policy considerations to take into account in the decision-making process, such as social, economic, health, or national security interests. However, NEPA does require that decision makers be informed of the environmental consequences of their decisions. • A federal agency must prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) if it is proposing a “major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment”.
