As part of the PD&E Study finalized in 2024, potential impacts to the environment were evaluated to avoid, minimize and mitigate any impacts and were documented for this study. Based on the recommended design, there are potential impacts to other surface waters and/or wetlands. As the design phase continues, these impacts and any new impacts associated with the project, including any listed species or other wildlife, will be identified and addressed through the permitting process with the appropriate resource agencies. A re-evaluation will be prepared to document design phase environmental findings.
Noise Studies are performed in both Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study phase and the Design phase. A noise study was completed during the PD&E Study and the final Noise Study Report is in the Documents section below.
