Powers Authority (l-5 JPA), are collectively known as the Interstate 710 (1-710) Corridor Project Funding Partners. These agencies are collectively funding the preparation of preliminary engineering and environmental documenlat1on for the proposed 1-710 Corridor Project to evaluate improvements along the 1-710 Corridor from Ocean Blvd. in the city of Long Beach to State Route 60 (SR~60) (Historic Property Survey Report [HPSR], Attachment A, Maps 1-4). The proposed alternatives for this project include Alternative 1 (No Build Alternative), Alternative 5A (Freeway Widening up to 10 General-Purpose Lanes), Alternative 6A (10 General Purpose Lanes plus a Four~ Lane Freight Corridor), Alternative 6B (10 General Purpose Lanes plus a Zero-Emissions Four-Lane Freight Corridor). and Alternative 6C (10 General Purpose Lanes plus a Zero-Emissions Four-Lane Freight Corridor tolled), Alternative 5A and 6A-6C also include improvements to 42 local arterial intersections within the 1-710 Corridor Project Study Area. A detailed project description is included in the Historical Resources Evaluation Report (HRER), Attachment C. I 2. AREA OF POTENTIAL EFFECTS The Area of Potential Effects (APE) for the project was established in consultation wrth Noah M. Stewart, Caltrans PQS Architectural History; and Abdi Saghaft, Caltrans Project Manager, on December 20, 2011 The APE maps are located in Attachment A of this HPSR. The 1-710 Corridor Project's APE was delineated to include all resources that could potentially be directly or indirectly affected by the 1-710 Corridor Project. The areas of direct effects include the areas where physical impacts will occur. These are generally limited to the proposed and existing rights-of­ way, as well as areas where utilities will be relocated, and include the horizontal and vertical limits {ranging from a maximum height of 100 feet [ft] [freight corridor construction] la a maximum depth of 150 fl [drilling for borings and bridge piles]) associated with ground-disturbing activities. The areas of indirect effects extend beyond those of the direct effects and incorporate areas that may be indirectly affected by visual. noise, or other effects- The areas of indirect effects generally Include all properties that are adjacent to the proposed right-of~way unless they are undeveloped. In most cases, the APE includes only the properties adjacent to the proposed right~of-way and/or temporary construction easements (TCEs), but additional parcels may be included where there are proposed new bridges, bridges that are being widened or replaced. or construction of new elevated features such as ramps and the freight corridor in Alternatives 6A-6C. Exceptions include properties that are buffered by topographic features, large parking and/or landscaped areas, or buildings on other properties The APE extends around the entirety of those parcels where the built environment will be indirectly affected. The vertical APE includes the maximum anticipated depth of ground disturbing activities. which is expected to be a maximum of 150 ft at bridge pile locations. ---·· . ···------- For the Federal undertaking described in Part 1: To minimi2:e redundancy and paperwork for the California Department of Transportation and the State Historic Preservation Officer, and in the spirit intended under the federal Paperwork Reduction Act (U.S.C. 44 Chapter 35), this document also satisfies consideration under California Environmental OLJality Act Guidelines Section §15064.S(a) and as appropriate, Public Resources Code §5024 {a)(b) and (d).
