QUALIFICATIONS Project Number SEA 18-4999.1 ii INTRODUCTION Stokes Environmental Associates, Ltd. was authorized by Mr. Christopher A. Taylor, PE, Env Sp of Johnson, Mirmiran, & Thompson, to prepare a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Review in compliance with the requirements of the Clean Water Revolving Loan Fund Program, in accordance with the requirements of the NEPA. Objectives The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is the basic national charter for protection of the environment. Section 102(2) of NEPA requires federal agencies to act in accordance with the letter and spirit of the Act. Regulations promulgated by the Council on Environmental Quality, (40 CFR 1500) outline methods for evaluating compliance with the Act. Virginia Code sections 10.1-118 et seq. implement the applicable requirements of NEPA, for major state projects, and requires environmental investigation prior to constructing major projects. The Virginia Clean Water Revolving Loan Fund Program Design Manual provides details of the environmental investigation needed for projects receiving loan assistance under the program, in compliance with NEPA. The purpose of the following investigation is to provide the investigation required by the Clean Water Revolving Loan Fund program in compliance with the requirements of NEPA. Period of Investigation and Key Investigators Investigation of the site was performed during the period of 24 April 2018 through 20 July 2018 as Stokes Environmental Associates, Ltd. (SEA, Ltd.), Project SEA 18-4999.1. The following Environmental Professionals performed this investigation: Mr. T. Lane Stokes, III was the Project Manager for this National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Environmental Investigation. Mr. Thomas L. Stokes, Jr. assisted in research and analysis, and provided technical review of this report. Project Number SEA 18-4999.1 1 FINDINGS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATION Project Description The City of Norfolk new sanitary sewer pump station is proposed for funding by the Clean Water Revolving Loan Fund Program, to provide needed capacity in the service area in western Colonial Place in Norfolk, Virginia. The proposed site is located near the intersection of Llewellyn and 38th Street (see attached drawing). The pump station is to be constructed in the center of the northern half of a 0.3 acre, rectangular parcel of land owned by the City of Norfolk, consisting of a grass field surrounded by trees, just south of a stormwater pond. It is to include a raised platform at approximately 18 ft by 44 ft, with a 14 ft by 14 ft submersible pump house to be approximately 11 ft high and 6 ft deep into ground, and will include subsurface piping, reservoirs, and electric/utility connections. The landscaping is to be carried out by Norfolk Recreation, Parks, and Open Space (REPOS) staff, including planning and labor. Alternative Sites In order to meet the need for sanitary sewer capacity, minimal environmental impact, and optimal project feasibility, an analysis was conducted by Christopher A. Taylor, P. E., senior associate of Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, Inc., which identified all potentially favorable alternative design options that would not result in displacement of private property or loss of essential public services. Further details on alternative site locations are included in the Appendix section of the report. The alternative sites included the following: Alternative A - Pump Station at Llewellyn Avenue & 38th Street (Proposed Site): This site is located within a grass field between Llewellyn Avenue and the building of former J. E. B. Elementary School (currently inactive). This option would occupy a small amount of space within the floodplain and negligible environmental impacts as described in this report. Alternative B - No Action: This option is a baseline which has no increased environmental impact. Compared to the other options, no land resources would be used. However, this alternative does not supply the needed capacity, which may have adverse effects on human health and the environment. Alternative C - Pump Station at Delaware Avenue and Llewellyn Avenue: This site is located in Colonial Place Greenway between a playground and Llewellyn Avenue. The environmental impacts of this option and their degree would be similar to the proposed option at Pump Station at Llewellyn Avenue and 38th Street. The site is within undeveloped floodplain area and would include some blocked view of open space, while the final landscaped pump station would improve the aesthetic quality of the open space area. The City of Norfolk mentioned concern regarding proximity of wetlands. The cost of this option is substantially higher, because this would require 1,160 feet of force main length (more than 7 times longer than the proposed site). The additional underground piping is undesirable for environmental reasons as well as the Project Number SEA 18-4999.1 2 incremental risk per increased linear foot of pipe. This alternative was not recommended based on cost and environmental concerns. Alternative D - Pump Station at the terminus of Maryland Avenue: This site is located on southeast corner of Virginia Avenue and Maryland Avenue. The site is within undeveloped floodplain area. The pump station would need to be exceedingly high in order to meet flood elevations, which would have substantial blocked view of open space and minor adverse unavoidable aesthetic impact on Colonial Place Greenway and residences. The City of Norfolk also expressed concern regarding the proximity to wetlands. Therefore this alternative was not recommended. Alternative E - Pump Station in Colonial Place Circle: This location is within a heavily landscaped traffic circle at the intersection of Delaware Avenue and Colonial Avenue. This option would include substantial blocked view of open space, unmitigatable adverse aesthetic impact, and damage to the critical root zone of old-growth canopy trees. This area is central to the view from heavily trafficked public rights-of-way. This option does not use undeveloped floodplain resources. (The absence of floodplain with this

  • A Clear Expression of Purpose
    The Park System of Norfolk, Virginia An Analysis of its Strengths and Weaknesses By The Trust for Public Land Center for City Park Excellence Washington, D.C. February 2005 Introduction and Executive Summary A venerable city with colonial-era roots, Norfolk, Virginia, has an increasingly bright future as the center of its large metropolitan area at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. In 2004, with their city in the midst of an impressive civic renaissance, a group of Norfolk citizen leaders became interested in knowing the state of Norfolk’s park and recreation system and how it compares with those of other similar cities. They turned to the Trust for Public Land’s Center for City Park Excellence, which is known for its studies of urban park systems, and contracted for an overview and analysis of Norfolk. With the assistance of the Bay Oaks Park Committee, and with cooperation from city officials, TPL undertook this study of Norfolk’s park system. Data on the system’s acreage, budget, manpower, and planning process was supplemented by interviews with city leaders, park and planning staff and Norfolk’s citizens. Utilizing an extensive database of city park information Norfolk was evaluated both on its own merits and against other American cities. By dint of time and budget, TPL’s analysis is not comprehensive; it only provides an initial set of snapshot views and comparisons. Nevertheless, the findings of this study are clear enough. By almost every measure, TPL finds that while the city of Norfolk has some wonderful parks, scenic riverfronts, tree-lined boulevards and sandy beaches, it simply doesn’t have enough of them.

  • State of the Elizabeth River 2014
    State of the Elizabeth River Scorecard 2014 November 17, 2014 Scientific data compiled & analyzed by: Elizabeth River State of the River Steering Committee 2014, Convened by Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and The Elizabeth River Project Summarized and interpreted for the public by: Summary: From Almost Dead to an Average Score of C And Most Notorious Branch is Now the Most Improved Parents might not think a C is too hot, if your kid brings it home from school. But when one of the three most toxic rivers on the Chesapeake Bay brings home a C, that’s reason to celebrate. The Elizabeth River was commonly presumed dead when The Elizabeth River Project entered the picture in 1993. Fast forward to 2014. Area scientists have scored each of the branches of the Elizabeth for an average overall health of C for this urban river. Better news yet: The notoriously polluted Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River shows the most improving trends. This is the long stretch of the river that has been industrialized since before the Revolution; the branch too often in the past was described as devoid of life. For this report, area scientists found improving trends for bacteria, nitrogen, bottom health, and contaminants on the bottom of the Southern Branch. A committee of local, state and regional scientists prepared this State of the River report for The Elizabeth River Project and VA Department of Environmental Quality to determine changes since the last comprehensive scorecard for the Elizabeth River, issued by the same partners in 2008, and to identify trends over the last 10 years.
