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 option does not affect flood risk of damage, because the pump station would be built with sensitive equipment at least 3 feet above the 100 year flood elevation just as the other alternate locations. The proposed alternate location is not located in a floodway or a wave action velocity hazard area.) Strong citizen opposition was expressed for this alternative. Also, the required force main length is 2,100 feet, and the force main would need to be located 15 feet below existing grade, rendering this option technically and economically infeasible. Therefore, this alternative was not recommended.
Environmental Assessment
The following is to summarize the finding of the environmental investigation for each alternative.
(1) Effects, destruction and/or displacement of wildlife and marine life, including endangered species, and their habitats, or food chain
The investigation included analysis of biota that might be affected by the alternatives. The Endangered Species Act of 1973 designates the U.S. Department of the Interior (USDI), Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), as the lead agency with responsibility for protection of threatened and endangered species. Protected species and habitats are specified at 50 CFR 17 222.23(a), 226, and 227.4. Additionally, a search was performed of databases from the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF), and the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DACS), with regard to threatened and endangered plants and insects.
Stokes Environmental Associates, Ltd. accessed information directly by online services from the DCR Natural Heritage Resources System (NHRS) database on 27 June 2018 and obtained current information from the database. No federal endangered or threatened species, bald eagle
Project Number SEA 18-4999.1 3 nests or concentration areas, species of concern, or the critical habitats of such species were listed for the site in the US Fish and Wildlife Service Information Planning and Consultation database. Based on the search results, the following federal and/or state listed species are located within a 3-mile radius of the subject site: Turtle, Kemp's ridley sea Lepidochelys kempii; Sturgeon, Atlantic Acipenser oxyrinchus; Turtle, leatherback sea Dermochelys coriacea; Turtle, hawksbill sea Eretmochelys imbricata; Tern, roseate Sterna dougallii dougallii; Turtle, loggerhead sea Caretta caretta; Knot, red Calidris canutus rufa; Bat, northern long-eared Myotis septentrionalis; Turtle, green sea Chelonia mydas; Plover, piping Charadrius melodus; Turtle, eastern chicken Deirochelys reticularia reticularia; Plover, Wilson's Charadrius wilsonia; Rail, black Laterallus jamaicensis; Bat, Rafinesque's eastern big-eared Corynorhinus rafinesquii macrotis; Bat, tri-colored Perimyotis subflavus; Rattlesnake, canebrake Crotalus horridus; Falcon, peregrine Falco peregrinus; Shrike, loggerhead Lanius ludovicianus; Tern, gull-billed Sterna nilotica; Treefrog, barking Hyla gratiosa; Shrike, migrant loggerhead Lanius ludovicianus migrans.
Habitat requirements for each of the above species were evaluated and compared with habitats at the subject site and its immediate vicinity. The recommended project area consists of turf grass and newly planted pine trees (2 inch diameter), and does not currently provide habitat for any species listed in the databases. The pump station construction, maintenance, and operation are not likely to affect surrounding habitat areas for the species. This will result in a de minimis disturbance to potential habitat area, and is unlikely to result in any incidental take of threatened or endangered species.
A Self-Certification Letter documenting compliance with the Endangered Species Act was sent to the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service on 27 June 2018. No further review is necessary. Official determinations with regard to state listed species can be obtained by requesting review by the DGIF and the DCR if desired. No impact is anticipated.
Based on the results of this preliminary investigation, there appear to be no federal or state listed endangered or threatened species or proposed federal or state listed species or critical habitats at the subject site and no critical habitats near the subject site. No impact is anticipated for alternatives or for the proposed site.
(2) Destruction or disturbance of marshland or wetlands
The National Wetlands Inventory Map from the US Fish and Wildlife Service Web GIS Publication, updated 1 October 2017, does not show designated wetlands on the subject site (see NWI map in Appendix A).
During the site reconnaissance the project area and alternatives appeared to be well drained.
According to the Soil Survey of Norfolk, soils at this site are classified as Augusta-Urban land series. These soils generally consist of silty clay loam. This soil series represents fill soil placed
Project Number SEA 18-4999.1 4 by human activities. Available surveys for the region have not rated this series for general characteristics due to variability depending on recent history of development.
The subject site was evaluated for the presence of jurisdictional wetlands in accordance with the onsite determination methods specified in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE), Wetlands Delineation Manual (Technical Report Y-87-1) (1987), including interpretations specified by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Memorandum from Major General Arthur E. Williams, Directorate of Civil Works, March 1992).
Wetlands were not found at the subject site, but were located 25 feet north of the pump station platform as part of the vegetated stormwater pond bench, based on preliminary visual inspection. It should be noted that only the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) can make the final official jurisdictional determination for nonagricultural and agricultural areas, respectively.
One minor impact to the wetland north of the site includes potential removal of an existing stormwater discharge pipe to the stormwater pond from the wetland bench area, if the pipe is not abandoned in place. This will result in a de minimis disturbance, initially, and will be a small enhancement the wetland area in the long term.
The proposed project has no permanent direct effect on wetlands and no indirect effect on surface water flow on nearby wetlands.
The no action alternative would cause the low sanitary sewer capacity to continue, which is not protective of wetlands.
(3) Displacement of households, businesses, or services
There are no residents, households, businesses or other activities at the recommended site. The project is located on City owned lands between area zoned as OSP Open Space and Preservation and area zoned as Institutional (IN). The pump station land is located in an original right-of-way designated area. Surrounding areas include parks, stormwater pond with wetland bench, nursing home, residences, and an inactive school. The sanitary sewer pump station has been placed on the north side of the site in order to be the most compatible for the land uses and values of the vicinity. The pump station will not result in any displacement and is not anticipated to have any significant adverse environmental effects that would result in displacement of surrounding residents.
No impact is anticipated for the recommended site.
(4) Possible destruction of surrounding farm land or the loss of open space land
Farmland is a productive use of natural land valued as a resource outside of metropolitan communities. The natural land values are often inadequately addressed by independent market forces, thus federal, state, and local government programs generally consider the potential of a
Project Number SEA 18-4999.1 5 project to result in conversion of important farmland to non-farm use, in order to coordinate the protection of these values. According to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey of Norfolk, soils onsite, which consist of fill material, are classified as "not prime farmland" and have not been identified as unique farmland or land of statewide or local importance. The existing site is not valuable as farmland resource. Also, the site is within an urbanized area, so the value of other qualities of the land may likely outweigh the value of farmland productiveness. No impact is anticipated for either alternative.
Open space is valuable for its scenic quality and increase of quality of life of citizens in the locality. The proposed site is located within Colonial Place Greenway, an open space area, and will include a minor degree of blocked view. The proposed site has the least impact on the scenic values of open space of all practicable alternatives identified for the service area, with the Colonial Place Circle (Alternative E) being of greatest concern regarding open space because of impacts to large trees and plantings, and Alternative E was considered infeasible on this basis (among others). All available areas are used as open space. At the proposed location the pump station is situated close to the stormwater pond and away from the intersection to minimize blocking view of scenic open space view from public right-of-way. The project will include addition of 2 large canopy trees, 4 small canopy trees, and 6 small shrubs within the 100 foot Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area buffer. The plan will also include one-to-one replacement or transplant of several sapling trees which will need to be moved in the project, and all compaction and excavation will be located outside of the critical root zone of mature trees so as to avoid adverse impact. The proposed plan includes both a minor adverse impact from effects of blocked view in open space, and a minor beneficial impact of overall increased scenic quality of the open space. The proposed site appears to cause the least impact on open space, in comparison with the alternatives and thus is recommended.
(5) Effects on land having archeological significance
Lands having archeological significance are under the authority of the Department of Historic Resources (DHR) Division of Natural Heritage. Prior to the 1950s the area consisted of undeveloped forested wetlands. In the 1950s during the construction of Llewellyn Avenue, the area was cleared and filled to create the current grass lot. No known historic resources which may have potential archeological significance are located within the direct area of potential effect. Clearance from the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) in regard archeological resources was received and is attached. This is further discussed in the section on Destruction or disturbance of areas of historical significance.
(6) Destruction or disturbance of areas of historical significance
The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to manage a National Register of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture. This National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is in the custody of the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), as approved by the U.S. Department of the Interior (USDI), National Park Service (NPS).
Project Number SEA 18-4999.1 6 Protection of Historic and Cultural Properties by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation is outlined in 36 CFR 800 including procedures for implementation of the NEPA.
A Direct Area of Potential Effect (Direct APE) was defined including the city-owned property parcel on which the pump station will be built. An indirect Area of Potential Effect (Indirect APE) was defined for the site including: all public right-of-ways within visibility of the pump station and all blocks that include properties from which the sanitary sewer pump station is visible, including visibility from highrise buildings.
Stokes Environmental Associates, Ltd. obtained an archives search from the Department of Historic Resources (DHR) Division of Natural Heritage on 20 June 2018 and obtained current information from the database (Attachment 6). The DHR maintains listings and related maps showing known historic sites and sites which are listed or eligible for listing in the NRHP. The area of potential effect (APE) was reviewed on these maps. The historic resources described below were located within the indirect area of potential effect and no historic resources were located in the direct area of potential effect of the project. .

A response from the request for environmental review for this project by the SHPO was received on July 20, 2018. The SHPO indicated the proposed project will not affect historic resources.
(7) Use of irretrievable resources
Environmental resources used by the project include: developable land (very limited because of zoning, location, size, etc.), open space (again very limited based on small size), Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area buffers (offset by BMP), and floodplains (fully discussed elsewhere in report). The pump station will occupy approximately 800 square feet of land on parcel upon which it is built. Associated landscaping and subsurface vaults and piping will occupy approximately 0.1 acre. Additional information about impact on open space is discussed in the appropriate sections
Project Number SEA 18-4999.1 7 throughout this report. The immediate vicinity of the pump station subject to potential odor is used as open space consisting of trees and grass along Llewellyn Avenue, incorporated into Colonial Place Greenway. The area also serves as a buffer and extension for the recreational field formerly used the inactive J. E. B. Stuart School property, which has been zoned as Institutional. Air quality effects in area immediately surrounding the pump station, outside of the footprint of the structure are compatible with the existing land use and no impact is anticipated. Odor, if any, is expected to be limited to the immediate vicinity of the pump station. Impacts are not expected, based on land use at the institutional land adjacent west of the site and on the subject property, separation from neighbors by street, and stormwater BMP. Based on current land use planning, no impact is anticipated. Significant mineral resources are unlikely to be held by the property. Materials at the project area include urban fill material and a small amount of well-rounded gravel just under the turf. No impact on mineral resources is anticipated. The effect from the land use is a negligible adverse impact.
(8) Noise
Noise will be produced during the construction of the pump station, piping, and appurtenances. Other construction work on buried utilities may be scheduled by the City when the subject project activities are taking place, extending cumulative time period of construction noise. Noise associated with the project activities involves vehicular traffic and operation of heavy equipment onsite, as well as vibratory removal of paved surfaces for the installation of buried piping and appurtenances. Sensitive receptors to noise include single family residences, nursing home, and park area. No historic structures are close enough to the project area or structurally situated in a way that they could be adversely affected by vibratory noise. Short-term noise during construction is a temporary and minor adverse impact.
Noise produced by the completed pump station design is de minimis related to electric water pump operation. Road noise reduction by the pump house serving as a sound barrier on the west side of Llewellyn Avenue is a minor beneficial impact.
(9) Traffic circulation and traffic pattern disruption
Construction of the pipes associated with the pump station will involve construction work on th Llewellyn Avenue and 38 Street in and around the intersection. Simultaneous non-project work on water/utilities will be conducted in the same area. Appropriate detour routes and signage will be obtained for the project if needed. This is a minor adverse impact.
Ms. Thelma Drake, Assistant Director of Transportation in the City of Norfolk Division of Transportation, was contacted by telephone on July 2, 2018 and confirmed that no existing roads, transportation plans, or anticipated future plans would be adversely affected by the final constructed pump station. Long term traffic circulation and traffic patterns are not anticipated to be impacted.
Project Number SEA 18-4999.1 8 (10) Odor/air quality
Sanitary sewer pump stations remove any free gas present flowing through the pipes; also, a small amount of sewer gas is released due to fluctuations of sewage levels in the wet well. Odiferous constituents in sewer gas and their odor threshold include the following: Hydrogen Sulfide (0.00047 ppm), Ethyl Mercaptan (0.00019 ppm), Methyl Mercaptan (0.0011 ppm), Dimethyl Sulfide (0.0001 ppm), Sulfur Dioxide (0.009 ppm), Benzyl Mercaptan (0.00019 ppm).
The 2018 Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD) Design and Construction Standards include evaluation of the need for odor control and provision for odor control devices as necessary. There will be some amount of sewer gas emission from the final pump station; however, it is expected to be undetectable most of the time based on experience with other pump stations. The pump station is located approximately 100 feet northeast of playground structures and approximately 150 feet from the nearest housing. A grass path and sidewalk (next to the roadway) pass approximately 13 and 18 feet of the station. The pump station is located a sufficient distance from the housing and playground structures that odor is not likely to affect these existing sensitive receptors in the surrounding land. No impact is anticipated for sensitive receptors. In the unlikely event of odor impacts, it is anticipated that air scrubbers can be added to eliminate any such odor. The current and anticipated future land use of unoccupied open space use near a roadway is compatible with potential effect on air quality in the immediate vicinity of the pump station, thus no impact is anticipated.
(11) Damage and/or pollution of surface water resulting from erosion, discharges or other sources
Evaluation of the site with respect to surface features included an onsite survey of the property and a review of U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic mapping, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) wetlands mapping, local records for other regulated surface features, and available aerial photographs. According to information reviewed and onsite observations, surface water drainage at the subject site appeared to be generally toward the north then following the lowland just west of the site in the 100 foot Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area buffer, in a northerly direction. It drains into the municipal stormwater system (as opposed to infiltration), which discharges into the Best Management Practice (BMP) pond adjacent to the project area, which discharges into the Lafayette River.
The completed project will include approximately 800 square feet of impervious surface in a Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area, resulting in higher volume of stormwater discharge from the pump station platform footprint. Considering the course of surface water flow, nonpoint sources of pollution, intensely developed area, and other factors, the completed pump station project area is not expected to significantly increase total discharge of pollutants, though the volume of stormwater discharge would increase lightly because of the small addition of impervious surface. The design plan is required to satisfy at least the requirements of the Norfolk Bureau of Environmental Service, which is to compensate for the impervious surface encroachments into the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area buffer (CBPA). The mitigation plan will include placement of 2 large canopy trees, 4 small canopy trees, and 6 small shrubs within the CBPA, in
Project Number SEA 18-4999.1 9 addition to the replacement or transplant of the existing newly planted trees as discussed elsewhere. This will provide canopy coverage and will increase the absorptiveness of the soil to mitigate floodwater volume, allowing for greater infiltration of runoff containing nonpoint source pollutants. In regard to surface water discharge volume and quality, the impervious surface is expected to be a minor adverse impact and the added vegetation will have a minor beneficial impact.
Runoff pollution from land disturbance contains sediment and pollutants bound in the sediment. During the construction phase of the project, the runoff pollution will be limited by a Virginia Sediment and Erosion Control Plan, which is to be included in the project. The short-term runoff pollution during construction will be a de minimis adverse impact, and all alternatives had similar effect.
(12) Aesthetic concerns and visual impacts
The pump station will have a minor affect on view, including view of open space. See the Appendix section of this report for the map of Area of Indirect Affect, which depicts properties from which the pump station will be visible, including visibility from a high-rise building, Colonial Place Greenway a nursing home, single-family homes, City property containing the th inactive school site, Llewellyn Avenue, 38 Street, and walkways. The aesthetic/visual effect includes a de minimis adverse effect related to the use of a small amount of open space. A minor beneficial effect on the scenic values of open space is expected because of the installation of trees and landscaping. The visual impact was considered to be higher at alternative E and is equivalent at all other alternatives, including the proposed alternative.
(13) Any disturbance to designated wild, scenic and/or recreational river use
The subject site is located within one mile of the Lafayette River. The Lafayette River is neither a designated Wild & Scenic River, nor a river being studied as a potential component of the Wild & Scenic River system, nor a river listed in the National Rivers Inventory. The site is not located on or visible from any rivers. No impact is anticipated.
(14) Socio-economic changes
Effects on socio-economic prosperity of the City of Norfolk and human environment for communities with City of Norfolk, include aesthetics (a de minimis adverse impact and minor beneficial impact), use of land resources, and requires land uses at the adjacent institutional land and on Colonial Place Greenway on the subject property to be compatible (no impact or minor adverse impact). Improved sanitary sewer capacity is an obvious benefit of the pump station. No overall significant impact is anticipated with regard to employment or adverse effect on surrounding residents.
Project Number SEA 18-4999.1 10 The area of effect of the pump station does include a percentage of socio-economically vulnerable people. The percentage of minorities and low-income people in the area of effect of the project is slightly greater than the state average. All neighborhoods need pump station capacity, and most have pump stations. There is not a disproportionate impact on any socio- economic group.
No impact is anticipated, except improved sanitation in the Colonial Place Neighborhood is a beneficial impact.
(15) Floodplain impacts
Executive Order 11988 - Floodplain Management, dated 24 May 1977, requires agencies to determine whether any proposed action will occur in a floodplain, and stipulates procedures to be followed for any action to be located within a floodplain. The term “floodplain” is defined in the Executive Order to mean the lowland and relatively flat area adjoining inland and coastal waters including flood-prone areas of offshore islands, including at a minimum, that area subject to a one percent (1%) or greater chance of flooding in any given year. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Manual, dated 1985, indicates that the floodplain described in the Executive Order is, by definition, the 100-year floodplain. FEMA regulations for Floodplain Management and Flood Hazard Identification (44 CFR 59 through 77) provide further clarification and was relied on in this investigation.
Flood Insurance Rate Maps and Flood Hazard Boundary Maps, as prepared by FEMA, provide the usual and customary basis for determining whether a site occurs within a 100-year floodplain. According to information found in Flood Hazard Boundary Map and Flood Insurance Rate Map 5101040018H dated 17 February 2017 for Norfolk, Virginia, reviewed by Mr. Lane Stokes, the property is located in zone AE. Zone AE signifies areas within the 100- year flood plain where Base Flood Elevations have been determined. The property is not located in a floodway or a wave action velocity hazard area. Regardless of the ground surface elevation, the pump station will be built with a Design Flood Elevation three feet above the Base Flood Elevation for the 100 year flood event, which at this location is 8 feet above mean sea level resulting in a floor elevation of 11 feet above mean sea level. The control platform and all water sensitive equipment will be built above the Design Flood Elevation to the extent feasible. This Design Flood Elevation is also required by City of Norfolk standards. No impact by damage to the pump station is anticipated from flooding.
Sensitive geomorphic features such as flood plains, topography, drainage routes, surface water (i.e., streams, creeks, lakes, or rivers), infiltration and groundwater features, wetlands, and forests are of potential importance to the human environment due to the functions and values of such features. The functions and values include natural habitat, enhancement to water quality, scenic open space value of adjacent water bodies, and a migration corridor for wetlands and stream buffers to ensure their future presence following sea level rise. The subject property was visually and physically evaluated for the presence of sensitive and geomorphic features in order to determine whether the project would present any potential for significant change in such features.
Project Number SEA 18-4999.1 11
According to a survey and engineering plan drawing provided by Johnson, Mirmiran and Thompson, dated June 2018 the property and proposed construction area is located within the 100 foot Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area buffer and is regulated under the Norfolk Chesapeake Bay Preservation Ordinance. According to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Virginia Hydrologic Unit Atlas (1995), the site is within the Elizabeth River (JL56) Unit of the Hampton Roads Drainage Basin. Construction of the proposed facility will include placement of clean fill soil on a 50 foot by 100 foot area of grass to be reseeded, graded to slope gradually from the existing ground surface at the edge of the fill area to 4.5 feet above ground surface at the base of the elevated pump station platform. This is a substantial change to topography, increasing the area of lost floodplain beyond the footprint of the building. This is a minor adverse impact based on small size. Notwithstanding this minor adverse impact, the proposed location has less overall environmental impact than the alternative locations, and the otherwise compatibility of the land uses may work to preserve this area that may otherwise be lost from competing land uses such as future development of the area in the future. Assessment on existing environmental values is discussed in the respective sections throughout this report. Due to loss of floodplain area needed for the pump station and due to re-contouring within the floodplain, there is a minor adverse impact. This impact is offset by installation of landscape plantings, but the physical footprint is the minimum needed for pump station operations. The enhanced pumping capacity reduces potential for bypass upsets, which reduce the risk of impacts to waterways; thus, the proposed site is considered to provide an overall benefit to floodplain areas. All alternative sites, except Colonial Place Circle (Alternative E) which is outside the floodplain, had similar conclusions regarding floodplains.
Project Number SEA 18-4999.1 12 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
This National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Environmental Investigation has reviewed a sanitary sewer pump station, including alternative sites, with respect to environmental effects, based on items described in the Virginia Clean Water Revolving Loan Fund Program requirements.
Four alternatives were reviewed including a no-action alternative (continued operation of existing pump station and three alternative sites).
Short-term and long-term effects were considered. The analysis included each of the following areas of concern:
(1) Effects, destruction and/or displacement of wildlife and marine life, including endangered species, and their habitats, or food chain (2) Destruction or disturbance of marshland or wetlands (3) Displacement of households, businesses, or services (4) Possible destruction of surrounding farm land or the loss of open space land (5) Effects on land having archeological significance (6) Destruction or disturbance of areas of historical significance (7) Use of irretrievable resources (8) Noise (9) Traffic circulation and traffic pattern disruption (10) Odor/air quality (11) Damage and/or pollution of surface water resulting from erosion, discharges or other sources (12) Aesthetic concerns and visual impacts (13) Any disturbance to designated wild, scenic and/or recreational river use (14) Socio-economic changes (15) Floodplain impacts
Based on this analysis, the proposed project was found to have no significant adverse environmental impact.

Taylor of Johnson, Mirmiran, & Thompson (Client) in the preliminary assessment of environmental conditions at the subject property, as outlined in this report. This report has been prepared solely for the exclusive use of Client and its agents for specific application to the property assessed. No other person or business entity shall have any rights with regard to our contract for this project, or any rights of reliance on this report or related documents prepared by Stokes Environmental. The scope of services included in this study may not be appropriate to the needs of other users of this document, and any such use is at the risk of user. This investigation was conducted in accordance with the scope of work, terms, and conditions outlined in the applicable contract or letter of agreement between Client and Stokes Environmental Associates, Ltd. In the event of any conflict between this disclaimer and the applicable contract or letter of agreement, the contract or letter of agreement shall take precedence.
This work has been performed using reasonable care within the scope of work and in accordance with budgetary limitations. Stokes Environmental Associates strives to conduct its services in keeping with industry standards and in accordance with generally accepted environmental science practice. No other warranty, expressed or implied, is made.
Our conclusions and recommendations are based upon our observations at the site, the reviewed documentation, any test results reviewed, interviews, any other information provided and our previous experience in this area. The conclusions and recommendations assume that data and other information provided are reasonably accurate. It must be recognized that available agency records, addresses, maps, and other information reviewed in this assessment are often incomplete, contain errors, may not be current, may list alternate facility names or addresses, or may provide otherwise misleading data. Verification of agency data, determination of facility locations that are listed by post office box, continuous updating and other tasks related to database information are generally beyond the scope and cost allowances of this investigation. However, the Environmental Professional performing the review has made a reasonable effort to compensate for mistakes or insufficiencies in the information reviewed that are obvious in light of other information actually known to the Environmental Professional. It should also be recognized that information may be available which was not found or reviewed in this assessment. The conclusions and recommendations are based on a limited review of the site and cannot provide complete assurance that all liabilities were detected. The conclusions and recommendations do not reflect variations in site conditions not visually apparent or which could exist intermediate of the sample locations or which could exist in the future.
Stokes Environmental Associates, Ltd. has analyzed the information obtained in this investigation in keeping with existing guidelines and regulations, but cannot accurately predict what actions or interpretations any given agency may take presently, or what standards and practices may apply to the site in the future. Should such variations in regulations, guidelines or site conditions become apparent in the future, it will be necessary to reevaluate our conclusions and recommendations based upon additional analyses and on-site observations as appropriate. It should be noted that only the appropriate regulatory agencies can make the final decision with respect to the extent of their jurisdiction. This site assessment report is not intended to provide a regulatory compliance audit. Unless known conditions indicate other durations, it is generally assumed that a site assessment is viable for a period of 180 days.
The pricing for this work is based on the absence of personal liability of the preparers with respect to the work, and the understanding that any claim associated with the work shall look solely to Stokes Environmental Associates, Ltd.
Stokes Environmental Associates, Ltd. acknowledges that it maintained in full force and effect at the time the services described in the investigation were performed, professional liability (errors and omissions) insurance with minimum policy limits of one million dollars each occurrence and one million dollars in the aggregate. Stokes Environmental Associates, Ltd. currently maintains such insurance in full force and effect and currently has no plan to terminate such insurance in the foreseeable future. Stokes Environmental Associates, Ltd.'s liability in connection with this investigation shall cease after a period of three years from the date of completion of the study, and Stokes Environmental Associate's total aggregate liability in connection with the investigation shall not exceed that amount actually covered by insurances on any such claim.
Please note that no environmental investigation can wholly eliminate uncertainty regarding the potential for adverse environmental conditions in connection with a property. This study is intended to reduce, but not eliminate, such uncertainty. The investigation recognizes reasonable limits of time and cost, and is designed to provide an appropriate level of inquiry, based on existing industry standards.

Area Size 0.3 SECTION IV. AREA OF POTENTIAL EFFECT (APE) https://solutions.virginia.gov/epix/secure/PrintApplication.aspx?id=6fef56ac-dcd9-4328-953c-3a2fd03981c9 3/5 7/12/2018 ePIX - Print Application The Area of Potential Effects (APE) is defined as the geographic area or areas within which a project may directly or indirectly cause changes in the character or use of historic properties, if they exist. It is not necessary for an historic property to be present in order to define an APE.
An example of a direct effect is the demolition of an historic building while an indirect effect would be the alteration of an historic setting resulting from the construction of a communications tower or the introduction of noise as the result of the construction of factory. An area such as the footprint of a proposed building is obviously within the APE, but you must also consider visual effects on the property and the limits of all ground-disturbing activity. So, any project may have two APEs - one for direct effects and one for indirect effects.
Please see our guidance on Defining Your APE for more detailed information on defining direct and indirect APEs. If you are using DHR's Data Sharing System, you should indicate the APE on the DSS map. For instructions on how to do this, consult the DSS general use guidelines.
Please provide a brief summary of and justification for the APE and upload your APE map at the end of the application. The written boundary description must match the submitted APE map.
Excavation and construction activities will occur on a 0.3 acre area of land. The area of potential effect, shown in the attached documents, encompasses all properties and public right-of-ways from which the sewer pump station is visible, including visiblity from highrise buildings, and all blocks adjacent to blocks that include visibility of the pump station. Indirect effects include the visual character of Llewellyn Avenue and 38th APE Street as routes of travel. SECTION V. CONSULTING PARTIES AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
The views of the public, Indian tribes and other consulting parties (e.g. local governments, local historical societies, affected property owners, etc.) that may have an interest in historic properties that may be affected by the project are essential to informed decision-making. In some cases, the public involvement necessary for other environmental reviews such as that under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) may be sufficient for the Section 106 process, but the manner in which the public is involved must reflect the nature and complexity of the proposed project and its effects on historic resources.
What consulting parties have you identified that have an interest in this project? Please describe your previous and future efforts to involve consulting parties.
Norfolk Historical Society. An email was sent to the consulting party. See Consulting Parties attachments.

Additional Property Information
Architecture Setting: Urban Acreage: 202 Site Description: Developed during the first quarter of the 20th century, Colonial Place emerged as a suburban community supporting the growing downtown area of Norfolk. Real estate developers recognized the financial prospects of Colonial Place, inspired by its location on the Lafayette River and its direct accessibility to the streetcar line. The neighborhood, originally catering to upper class patrons, developed with grand single-family dwellings that exhibited revival and American movement-era styles and forms. The flat tract was landscaped with tree-lined streets, traffic circles, and an intricate system of curvilinear roads that complimented the less than one-acre housing lots. The domestic buildings were buffered from the public streets by sidewalks and a grassy median planted with shade trees, primarily consisting of large maples. Colonial Place’s initial development constituted roughly nineteen dwellings between the years 1903-1911. Development was slow, substantially hindered by stiff competition and a citywide building slump. Consequently, the Development Company abandoned its original “high-class” image, allowing the community to thrive as a solidly middle class community. Growth of this middle class neighborhood was accelerated as the First World War launched a trend of housing needs nationwide. These needs created a second phase of development that included just over 750 buildings between 1912 and 1941. As a result, Colonial Place became defined by a variety of 20th century architectural styles and building types ranging from high style to vernacular interpretations of the elaborate styles erected decades earlier. The area making up the Colonial Place historic district presently consists of approximately 913 single-family dwellings, 43 multiple-family dwellings (including condominiums), a school, a pump house, four landscaped parks, two churches, a monument, and 354 supporting outbuildings, which includes sixty-nine sheds, a gazebo, and 282 garages.
The boundaries of the proposed district occupy approximately 202 of the original 220 acres conceived in 1903 by the Sterling Place Company as Colonial Place. Colonial Place became a cohesive residential neighborhood just to the east of Riverview (VDHR 122- 0823), on a peninsula jutting north into the Lafayette River. The surrounding water, originally known as Tanner’s Creek, distinctly forms the northern boundary of the neighborhood, with Knitting Mill Creek forming the western edge and East Haven Creek defining the eastern border. The topography-created boundaries are delineated by the streetscape with Mayflower Avenue encircling the community on three sides and 38th Street forming the southern boundary. Aligned with the landscape, the streets were laid on a slightly angled north-south axis along the central peninsula, with bisecting cross-streets. Landscaped traffic circles, crescents, and avenues further distinguished the plan.
Colonial Place Historic District is located on a peninsula that juts northward into the Lafayette River, north of the City of Norfolk. The river distinctly forms the northern boundary of the neighborhood, with Knitting Mill Creek forming the western edge and East Haven Creek defining the eastern border. Mayflower Avenue encircles the peninsula on the east, north, and west sides, providing vistas of the water. The southern boundary is 38th Street, excluding those resources on the southern side of the street. The district consists of 202 acres of the approximately 220 acres of the original subdivision. Surveyor Assessment: Start Year: 1903 Date Source: Site Visit Notes: In May of 1903, the farm was sold for $150,000 to a private firm for development. The Sterling Place Company, chartered on March 28th of that year and renamed the Colonial Place Corporation in 1908, purchased the property. Under the supervision of George W. Dillard, a speculative developer from North Carolina, the company intended to develop the property as a high-class suburban community bearing the company’s namesake. ------Start Year: 1912 Date Source: Site Visit Notes: Once Colonial Place shed its pretensions of appealing to upper income residents, a speculative building boom took place, beginning in 1912 and lasting through the Depression until World War II. It was clearly the community’s largest period of growth, with approximately 766 dwellings built. ------

Marked by its collection of early 20th century revival and American movement buildings, Colonial Place is an example of the residential subdivisions that emerged as the suburbs of Norfolk expanded with the advent of the streetcar and automobile at the turn of the 20th century. Such communities offered residents a scenic alternative to the dense inner city older neighborhoods. George W. Dillard, area developer and president of the newly established Sterling Place Company, submitted the original plat in 1903 for the subdivision of Colonial Place, which was originally conceived as Sterling Place. The community, consisting of over 220 acres, was laid out specifically to attract middle and upper income residents. The building requirements, extensive services, restrictions, attractive landscaping and often generously sized lots attest to the development company’s desire to attract a certain class of people. Based on original plat maps of the community, the area was developed over several decades between 1903 and 1941, with additional infill development occurring later. Organized along the curvilinear waterfront, the streets were constructed along the slightly angled north- south axis of the central peninsula, with bisecting cross streets. The monotony of the ubiquitous grid plan was intentionally avoided through the introduction of a series of traffic circles, crescents, and squares. The peninsula extends into the Lafayette River and offers exceptional views and a bucolic setting. The community was further distinguished by the naming of its streets using a unified colonial theme, in keeping with the much-touted 1907 Jamestown Exposition.
The houses along the northern semi-circular edge are substantial in size and are set well back from the road with large grassy yards in front. The interior housing lots include a variety of building forms and sizes, ranging from large two-and-a-half-story brick dwellings to smaller, bungalow residences. In general, the larger houses are set upon sizeable lots, while the smaller houses are set upon narrow lots and separated by narrow alleys or driveways with freestanding garages and sheds. The chronological development is visible in terms of the architecture, which includes a wide range of building dates ranging from 1906 to infill housing of the late 1990s. The neighborhood is generally defined by its eclectic collection of Colonial Revival style houses, ranging from the Georgian Revival American four-square house to the Craftsman Bungalow to the Tudor Revival and Spanish Mission-revival style dwelling.
As a whole, Colonial Place has achieved significance as the product of a distinctive period whose individual components combine to create a distinguishable entity with high artistic value, based upon the original plans of the developers. The proposed district meets National Register criteria A and C, and is significant under the themes of architecture and community planning/development with the period of significance extending from 1903 to 1941. The neighborhood consists of 965 properties (including approximately 913 single dwellings, 43 multiple dwellings, two churches, a school, a pump house, a monument, and four landscaped parks). There are 793 contributing primary resources and 172 non-contributing primary resources, supported by a total of approximately 354 secondary resources.
Criterion A: That are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history.
Colonial Place meets Criterion A of the National Register of Historic Places, as a planned community that developed because of its support of the expanding middle-class suburban population of Norfolk in the early decades of the 20th century.
The Sterling Place Company, renamed the Colonial Place Corporation in 1908, purchased a 166-acre farm in May 1903. The company, under the direction of developer and president George W. Dillard, filed an official plat for the newly devised suburb later that same year. The residential community, which ultimately consisted of over 220 acres, was to be known originally as Sterling Place, although the plat indicated the neighborhood had been unofficially renamed Colonial Place in 1906 (officially the name was changed in 1908). The proposed plan depicted the neighborhood’s original lot divisions, street layout, and open spaces. Infill of the landscape was required to raise the level of the marshy lowland for suitable high ground development, rather than the normal act of grading. The new subdivision was composed of intersecting streets, deliberately designed to take advantage of the irregular shoreline of the surrounding Tanner’s Creek (soon thereafter renamed Lafayette River), differentiating the neighborhood from the surrounding streets. Furthermore, the neighborhood had tree-lined curvilinear streets, paved with the advertised “bitulithic” and curbed granolithic sidewalks. In addition, the amenities included an embanked protective outer seawall edge, telephone, city water, electric light, gas, sewerage, several parks, six wooded acres, convenient streetcar access, and scenic views along the waterfront. The extensive and costly seawall embankment was undertaken with “permission obtained from the Secretary of War and from the Board of Harbor Commissioners” and “mark[ed] a number of exceptional features in residential property.” Other specifications stated that the lots were “eighty-one feet [in] front, or more than three times the width of the usual building lot in Norfolk, while other sites [were] one hundred and ten feet front, thus insuring an appearance of lawns between the residences, all of the flats in front of the bulkheads [were] dredged out so that no mud…show [ed] at low-water and the bulkhead [was] to be of concrete, with concrete steps, sixty feet wide at the ends of the streets, thus affording landing places for power boats and other pleasure crafts, at all times.”
In an effort to attract the intended exclusive clientele, Colonial Place was touted as being “high class residential section” and one of Norfolk’s most beautiful neighborhoods. Accordingly, restrictions on housing costs were imposed. The highest prices were for those lots on the waterfront with the less expensive lots making up the interior sections. Furthermore, it was not permitted for a dwelling to be constructed on less than two lots. By doing this, the company created a larger number of less expensive properties while maintaining the illusion of a “high-class” roomy suburb. In keeping with the “high class” vision, the development company advertised that “No lots w[ould] be sold to persons of African descent, no board fences, no liquor and the beautiful waterfront c[ould] never be used for commercial purposes.”
From the outset, approximately 2,208 lots were platted with an envisioned 1,104 residential dwellings to be erected, as it was restricted for development to occur on less than two lots. Approximately 169 of these lots were south of Pocahontas Avenue (later 38th Street) and a few of these lots were improved. Once the streets were actually laid out, however, it was clear to the developers that this southernmost area was visually disjoined from the cohesive 1903 subdivision plan. Therefore, the area was disregarded as part of Colonial Place, eventually becoming the northern portion of Kensington and Virginia Place. Between 1903 and 1911, the first phase of the neighborhood’s development, Colonial Place faced stiff competition from other “high class” suburbs, as well as a building slump that hit Norfolk in 1909. Although 980 lots were sold by 1912, primarily as investments, only approximately twenty houses and four traffic circle parks had been actually erected. Consequently, by 1912, the company abandoned its original restrictive vision and Colonial Place began to thrive as a solidly middle-class community.
The pace of development in Colonial Place was further affected by the influx of workers brought to the port city on the eve of the First World War (1914-1918). This second period of growth (1912-1941) extended through the war, the Depression and in the years leading up to America’s entry into World War II. During this second development phase, approximately 766 dwellings were built. The final building phase included approximately 241 additional buildings, constructed after 1941.
Criteria C: That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction.

The suburban neighborhood of Colonial Place meets Criterion C of the National Register of Historic Places for its substantial concentration of high style and, as the market demanded, less ornate architecture. Colonial Place retains many of its original early 20th century residential revival and American movement buildings, the majority of which were speculatively designed by local builders and architects. The earliest houses erected were generally imposing Colonial Revival and Queen Anne style residences built for upper-middle class residents. Construction was originally focused in the southern portion of the neighborhood, on streets such as Newport Avenue, Gosnold Avenue, Pocahontas Avenue, and Colonial Avenue. Although the pricier waterfront lots along Mayflower Avenue were desirable, the marshy land took longer to infill than expected. Consequently, those lots were not developed initially. The dwellings, ornamented to the specific tastes of the property owners, were sited on spacious lots with landscaped yards. Each of these large single-family buildings exhibited high-style ornamentation, including wrap-around porches, bracketing, denticulated moldings, sleeping porches, and an array of detailed cladding materials.
By the time residential construction began to take off after many of the imposed restrictions were disregarded in 1912, house sizes and stylistic features had begun to change in response to a new middle-class clientele. As a result, larger numbers of smaller, less ornamented houses were built in the neighborhood. The dominant styles were modest Colonial Revival dwellings balanced by a number of Craftsman-style Bungalows. These later dwellings generally housed middle-income residents, and exhibited less architectural ornament than the houses erected prior to 1912.

The design was composed of intersecting curvilinear streets that took advantage of the irregular shoreline of the Lafayette River. Aligning the grid pattern with the natural landscape created the picturesque views desired by the developers. The curvilinear riverfront avenue and central esplanade created opportunities for small parks where awkward intersections resulted in spaces that proved inappropriate for housing lots. The developers, attempting to set Colonial Place apart from Norfolk’s other emerging “high-class” suburbs, used popular picturesque ideals inspired by influential architects and landscapists such as Alexander Jackson Davis and Frederick Law Olmsted. The city-planning theories established by the City Beautiful Movement, which emerged at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago, were also clearly influential. Implementation of these emerging ideals in Colonial Place included the incorporation of the existing trees, visually linked vistas, a central esplanade, small parks, and the preservation of the natural beauty of the surroundings. A focal point of the neighborhood was the elliptical waterfront, enhanced by the curvilinear Mayflower Avenue and the centrally laid Newport Avenue. Tree-lined streets, sidewalks, and four small traffic circles further improved the neighborhood. The greatest influence in the design of the community planning of Colonial Place, however, was the Jamestown Exhibition of 1907, which was held in Norfolk. The exposition was highly influential in the planning of the suburb, including the naming of the subdivision, the name of the Development Company, and the streets, all which were in accordance with the colonial theme. Furthermore, the Colonial Revival style was clearly the most prevalent illustration of architecture in the early years of development in Colonial Place.

Architecture Setting: Suburban Acreage: .9 Site Description: 1996 survey: This small church is located on a corner site, facing north to 37th Street and east to Llewellyn Avenue, in a residential neighborhood.
2004 survey: This building is located within the Park Place Historic District. The district is located approximately five miles north of the city of Norfolk center. The district is defined by an urban grid street pattern with 25-, 35-, and 50-feet wide by 100-feet long residential lots. The area is primarily characterized by early 20th-century single-family dwellings with commercial, religious, educational, and industrial buildings interspersed.
This building is located on the southwest corner of the intersection of 37th Street and Llewellyn Avenue, facing north. Buildings of similar scale surround it. ------2004 survey: There is a church school appended to the west elevation of the church. Surveyor Assessment: 1996 survey: This small church has a traditional form, but is constructed of "modern" materials, as in the concrete block structure and metal steeple. It is also representative of a number of smaller, more simple churches built after World War Two in older neighborhoods, which stand in juxtaposition to the large churches built a few decades earlier. The church is located in Park Place, which was developed as a streetcar suburb of Norfolk and annexed at the turn of the century.
2004 survey: This resource is located in the proposed Park Place Historic District. The district is comprised of four planned developments dating to the turn of the 20th century; Park Place, Virginia Place, Kensington, and Old Dominion Place. The Park Place Historic District is located in the former Norfolk County, which originally surrounded the city of Norfolk. In 1902, the city of Norfolk annexed an area in Norfolk County to its north, which included the Park Place Historic District. Early 20th century single- and multiple-family dwellings with commercial, religious, educational, and industrial buildings interspersed are located within a gridiron street pattern.
The City of Norfolk located its city park east of the historic district along Granby Street (roughly the east boundary of the district), which was the major north-south corridor connecting Norfolk and Ocean View, a resort area along the Chesapeake Bay. The trolley car was the primary mode of transportation between Norfolk and Ocean View in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with a prominent stop at the city park marked by a late 19th century waiting station. In addition the formation of the Naval Station at the northwest end of the current city boundaries also facilitated the expansion of the trolley system. A line was added on Hampton Boulevard, the west boundary of the district connecting downtown Norfolk to the developing military facility. The growth of the suburbs around the city of Norfolk is attributed to the streetcar system, which operated until the 1940s. The Park Place, Virginia Place, Kensington, and Old Dominion Place developments expanded the existing suburbs, which had been planned north and east of the downtown.
The Park Place Historic District is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places as a representative of a type of neighborhood development and architecture under Criteria A and C with a period of significance of 1884-1955.
This property is comprised of a church and church school. Both buildings contribute to the Park Place Historic District.

Architecture Setting: Urban Acreage: 347 Site Description: 2000 PIF: The selected area known as Park Place in Norfolk, Virginia is a large mixed-use neighborhood located north of the downtown area and North Ghent Historic District, and immediately south of Colonial Place Historic District. The proposed historic district encompasses the neighborhoods originally known as Park Place, Kensington Place, Virginia Place and Old Dominion Place.
The boundaries for the proposed district are 38th Street at the north, Granby/Church/Monticello Streets at the east, Rugby Street and the Norfolk and Western Railroad tracks at the south, and Hampton Boulevard at the west. These boundaries are selected beacuse they emcompass contiguous street development and because of the physical boundaries created by the major corridors formed by Hampton Boulevard, Granby/Church/Monticello Street, and 38th Street.
2005 NRHP: The Park Place Historic District is located in the city of Norfolk, Virginia approximately five miles north of the city’s center. The district is sited west of Norfolk’s first city park and north of the 1884 Norfolk and Western, currently Norfolk Southern, railroad spur to the Lambert’s Point docks. The area is flat and is divided by roadways forming a grid pattern. Streets oriented east- west are primarily numbered and those oriented north-south are named. Dividing the north and south portions of the Historic District is an east-west oriented roadway, Lamberts Point Road, which was an early road leading from the Norfolk city center, located south of the district, to the Elizabeth River near the Lamberts Point docks, west of the district. The roadways to the north of Lamberts Point Road are oriented directly east-west, while the roadways to the south of Lamberts Point Road are oriented more northwest-southeast. The roadways to the south follow the grid pattern of the neighborhoods established earlier and south of the Park Place Historic District. The roadways in the north portion are oriented to the major roadways leading north-south.
The Historic District comprises four major developments dating from the period 1890 to 1899, which occupy four quadrants of the area. Virginia Place is located on the northeast corner, Park Place is located on the southeast corner, Kensington is located on the northwest corner and Old Dominion Place is situated on the southwest corner. There are other smaller areas within the boundaries that are portions of other developments outside of the Park Place Historic District boundaries.
The streets are paved with asphalt and some feature original granite curbing. Most granite curbing has been replaced with poured concrete curbing. The streets oriented east-west are narrower than those providing north-south through traffic such as Hampton Boulevard, Colley Avenue, Colonial Avenue, Llewelyn Avenue and Granby Street north of West 32nd Street. Colley Avenue features a landscaped median from West 25th to West 28th Streets planted with live oaks. The residential areas have had additional plantings of crepe myrtles along the streets, which were added in the 1930s. ------The boundaries of the Park Place Historic District are roughly 38th Street to the north; Granby Street, Monticello Avenue and Church Street to the east; the Norfolk Southern Railroad tracks south of East and West 23rd Street to the south; and Hampton Boulevard to the west. Areas eliminated from these rough boundaries include resources that would be considered non-contributing at the edges of the Historic District. Surveyor Assessment: 2005 NRHP Summary Statement of Significance: The Park Place Historic District is a residential and industrial Historic District located north of the center of the city of Norfolk, Virginia. It is primarily defined by turn-of-the-20th-century residential buildings and low-scale turn-of-the-20th-century to mid-20th-century industrial buildings. The district comprises four major developments dating to the late 19th century: Kensington, Park Place, Old Dominion Place and Virginia Place. Mostly residential in character, an industrial area is situated at the south and west ends of the district, which was influenced by the Norfolk Southern railroad spur that was built in

1884. Development pressure due to the success of Ghent, Norfolk’s first planned suburban development, in 1890 led to the sale of numerous small farmsteads surrounding the downtown area to alleviate the increased housing demand. The initial sale of lands within the Park Place Historic District occurred in 1890 with subsequent land acquisitions and suburban development plans in 1896, 1898, and 1902. The addition of the streetcar line in 1898 and the development of Lafayette Park, Norfolk’s first city park, made the Park Place Historic District an attractive and convenient place to reside. The easy access to the downtown and proximity to developing industry along the railroad line enabled the area to develop quickly in the 1910 to 1920 period. Additional buildings were added and improved into the 1950s. The district is comprised of 1532 contributing resources and 333 non-contributing resources, and encompasses approximately 347 acres. The Park Place Historic District is significance under Criteria A and C for its association with Norfolk’s suburban development and for its architectural character and integrity from the period 1884 to 1955.

Previously recommended eligible. The consultant preparing the nomination has asked for boundary advice. While surveying the HD, the consultant has discovered a large area that has non-contributing resources. Questions are whether this renders the HD not eligible?; should this area be left out?; should it be left in as non contributing? The committee felt that there was still enough to maintain eligibility, and they felt the boundaries could be drawn either way, but there was preference to leaving the non- contributing area out. The consultant has promised to provide street views and the matter may be revisited, if needed.

Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). Any activity proposed on National Wildlife Refuge lands must undergo a 'Compatibility Determination' conducted by the Refuge. Please contact the individual Refuges to discuss any questions or concerns.
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered 06/27/2018 Event Code: 05E2VA00-2018-E-09477 2 species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat.
A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12.
If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF
Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/ eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http:// www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http:// www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/ comtow.html.
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit to our office.

Project Name: Norfolk Pump Station
Project Type: WASTEWATER FACILITY
Project Description: The Virginia State Water Control Board is considering funding the project listed above by the Virginia Clean Water Revolving Loan Program. The project addresses the need for a new sewer pump station is needed and is proposed to be constructed just south of a stormwater pond on a 0.3 acre, rectangular parcel of land owned by the City of Norfolk, located on the northwest corner of Llewellyn and 38th Street (see attached drawing). The entire parcel is designated as the Direct Area of Potential Effect, and the pump station is to be located in the center of the northern half of the parcel, near the stormwater pond. The pump station 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 approzimately 11 ft high and 6 ft deep into ground, which will include subsurface piping, reservoirs, and electric/utility connections. The landscaping will be carried out by Norfolk Recreation, Parks, and Open Space (REPOS) staff, including planning and labor.
Prior to the 1950s the area consisted of undeveloped swampland. In the 1950s the area was cleared and filled to create the current grass lot, during the construction of Llewellyn Avenue.
Excavation for the pump station will include an approximately 80 by 50 ft area, approximately 8 ft deep, plus an pproximately 165 ft long trench for buried force main sewer pipe and cleanout stations, with depth of up to 15 ft. There will also be associated 4 foot deep electrical and other utility line trenches for connection to the pump station.
