1 Florida Department of Transportation STATE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT 1. GENERAL INFORMATION Project Name: State Road 951 Project Development and Environment Study Project Limits: From Manatee Road to Tower Road, Collier County (0.76 miles) County: Collier ETDM Project Number: 8550 Financial Project ID: PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. EXISTING The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is conducting a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study to evaluate the proposed widening of State Road (SR) 951 from south of Manatee Road to north of Tower Road in Collier County. The total project length is approximately 0.76 miles. The project location map (Figure 1) illustrates the location and limits of the study. The project is located within Sections 3 and 10, Township 51 South, Range 26 East, within the Belle Meade United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute (1:24,000) quad map. SR 951 is one of only two roadways onto and off of Marco Island and is the primary north-south connection between Marco Island and the regional roadway network on the mainland of Collier County served by I-75. SR 951 is also part of the emergency evacuation route network designated by the Florida Division of Emergency Management. The project will facilitate evacuations, improve the regional connectivity of the roadway network, and improve traffic operations on SR 951 by expanding traffic capacity to address increased travel demand and congestion projected as a result of population and employment growth in the area. SR 951 is classified as an Urban Minor Arterial within the project study area and is classified by FDOT as Access Classification 3. The existing SR 951 typical section (Figure 2 and Figure 3) is a four-lane divided rural roadway consisting of two 11-foot to 12-foot wide travel lanes and fourfoot paved outside shoulders in each direction, which accommodate on-road bicycle lanes are designated along both sides of the road on the paved shoulder. The median is generally 40 feet in 1 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

5 width. Stormwater runoff is collected in swales along the outside of the roadway. The existing cross-section generally lacks sidewalks. Currently, four-foot designated bicycle lanes are provided along both sides of SR 951 within the study limits. North of Tower Road, SR 951 is a six-lane divided roadway with a five-foot sidewalk on the west side of the roadway and a 10-foot shareduse path along the east side. The existing posted speed limit is 45 miles per hour (mph) and increases to 55 mph south of Manatee Road. The existing right-of-way width is 200 feet. The existing Henderson Creek bridges (Bridge Nos and ) consist of 6-foot inside shoulders, two 12-foot travel lanes and a 10-foot outside shoulder. The bridges are 130-feet in length and have a horizontal separation of 31-feet-one-inch. A full discussion of the existing roadway conditions can be found in Section 2.0 of the Final Preliminary Engineering Report (PER), prepared under separate cover for this project. B. PURPOSE AND NEED One primary purpose of this project is to improve emergency evacuation capability. Marco Island had a population of 16,413 in the 2010 U.S. Census, and with general population growth in the region and seasonal fluctuations from tourism, the number of people to be evacuated during a natural or man-made event would likely be higher. SR 951 is designated as one of two hurricane evacuation routes for Marco Island by the Florida Division of Emergency Management and provides direct access to Interstate 75 and other regional roadways. The only other evacuation route off Marco Island is San Marco Road (CR 92). San Marco Road is a two-lane roadway that does not directly connect to Interstate 75 and requires a much more circuitous path to reach the interstate and most other population centers in the region, and thus would likely attract substantially fewer evacuation trips than SR 951. The proposed improvements to SR 951 will increase the capacity of traffic that can be evacuated during an emergency event and improve emergency response times. The other primary purpose of the project is to maintain and enhance regional connectivity. SR 951 is a north-south urban minor arterial in southeastern Collier County that connects the community of Marco Island with the community of Naples and I-75, providing a gateway to the densely populated coastal communities in Southwest Florida. SR 951 provides regional connectivity between Marco Island and regional centers in Lee County, including Florida Gulf Coast University and Southwest Florida International Airport. SR 951 has a six-lane cross-section immediately north of the project study area, and the proposed SR 951 improvements would be consistent with and supportive of regional connectivity needs. A secondary purpose of the project is to provide increased capacity along SR 951 from Manatee Road to Tower Road to meet the projected future travel demand. The existing year (2014) roadway 5 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

6 Level of Service (LOS) along SR 951 ranges from A to E with traffic volumes ranging from 22,000 to 26,700 Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT). Future roadway operational analysis was performed using Highway Capacity Software (HCS) 2010 (Version 5.01). With the planned future growth in this area volumes are expected to increase to between 33,300 and 40,400 AADT by Opening year (2020) and design year (2040) analysis results show that LOS degrades in the project area between Silver Lakes Boulevard (approximately 0.6 miles south of Manatee Road) and Manatee Road. The projected LOS for the northbound movement without any capacity improvements during the PM peak is LOS F. South of Manatee Road, SR 951 is a multi-lane highway. The LOS F operation for the northbound approach along SR 951 to Manatee Road indicates that the traffic signal operations at Manatee Road are affecting traffic flow. This supports the intersectional analysis results indicating the need for an operational improvement to the SR 951 and Manatee Road intersection to increase capacity of the signalized intersection. An additional secondary criterion of the project s purpose and need is to improve modal interrelationships. This project includes provisions for multimodal interface with transit through the typical section that accommodates bus stop shelter pads along both sides of SR 951 within the project limits. The proposed improvements include bicycle lane accommodations (seven-foot paved shoulders), a five-foot-wide sidewalk along the west side of SR 951 and a 10-foot-wide shared use path along the east side of the roadway. The resulting multimodal improvements will help to improve multimodal connections between neighborhoods immediately adjacent to the project and destinations nearby. The purpose of the PD&E Study is to provide documented environmental and engineering analyses to assist the FDOT in reaching a decision on the location and conceptual design of the capacity improvements to SR 951 and associated improvements in order to meet the objectives of the purpose and need in a safe and efficient manner. This PD&E study satisfies FDOT requirements and follows the process outlined in the current FDOT Project Development and Environment Manual, Part 1 Chapter 10: State, Local, or Privately Funded Project Delivery. C. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS The recommended build alternative consists of widening the existing four-lane divided roadway to a six-lane divided roadway to meet the documented purpose and need for the project. A full discussion of the design details and concept plans for the recommended build alternative can be found in Section 6.0 of the PER, prepared under separate cover for this project. The proposed roadway will consist of a six-lane divided suburban roadway with a 11-foot travel lanes and a 26-foot raised median. The existing four-lane roadway will be widened towards the median. Additional improvements include a ten-foot shared use path on the east side of the roadway, a five-foot sidewalk on the west side of the roadway, and seven-foot paved bike lanes on both sides of the roadway. The design speed for these improvements will be 45 miles per hour 6 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

7 (mph). The existing bridges will be widened to six lanes total. This typical section can be constructed within the existing 200 feet of right-of-way. A strip of additional right-of-way will be needed in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of Tower Road with SR 951 to accommodate a southbound right turn lane and a dual ditch system, and additional right-of-way will be required for offsite stormwater ponds. Figure 4 shows the recommended roadway typical section. The proposed typical section for the bridge widening consists of six 11-ft travel lanes, 2.5-ft inside shoulders, 10-foot outside shoulders, a 10-foot shared-use path (northbound bridge only), and a five-foot sidewalk (southbound bridge only). The widening portions on the inside and outside of each bridge will tie into the existing cross slope thus maintaining the 2% cross slope. Figure 5 illustrates the recommended bridge typical section. 7 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

The final SEIR reflects consideration of the PD&E study and the public hearing. FDOT District One Secretary or Designee / / 13 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

14 ATTACHMENT A SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS A.1. Social Community Cohesion The Recommended Alternative generally involves the widening of SR 951 within existing FDOT ROW with the exception of offsite ponds that are proposed for vacant parcels of land and a strip of vacant land needed for a new southbound right turn lane at Tower Road. This project does not adversely affect existing neighborhoods or cause splitting or isolation of any neighborhoods as the facility is an existing roadway and the widening of the highway will be towards the center median, away from adjoining land uses. The Recommended Alternative is not anticipated to adversely impact elderly persons, handicapped individuals, non-drivers and transit-dependent individuals, or minorities. As noted in greater detail below under Title VI Considerations, the recommended alternative has been developed to without regard to protected groups under Title VI, and no comments have been received regarding conflicts with Title VI or related statutes. Therefore, it is expected that the Recommended Alternative will have no substantial impacts to community cohesion. Community Services Community services typically serve the needs of the surrounding area and provide a focal point for adjacent neighborhoods and communities. Community services include churches, cemeteries, schools, parks, recreational facilities, and public buildings and facilities. The Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve is located to the immediate west of the project area and spans through the median east along Henderson Creek. The associated Rookery Bay Environmental Learning Center is located on the west side of the project corridor south of Tower Road extending to Henderson Creek. The Recommended Alternative will have no direct effect on use of these facilities, and no right-of-way acquisition from these areas is expected. The addition of a southbound right turn lane on SR 951 at Tower Road will improve motorist safety for accessing the Environmental Learning Center. The Greater Naples Fire Rescue 23 station is located near the southern end of the project limits on the west side of SR 951 and offers fire and EMS services. The facility is served by a traffic signal actuated by emergency vehicles to stop traffic on SR 951. Access to and from this facility will remain unchanged, and the signal will continue to control traffic when emergency vehicles depart the station. Therefore, the Recommended Alternative will have no direct impact on the operations at this facility. A-1 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

15 Property access will be maintained along SR 951 during construction, particularly for Florida Highway Patrol, Collier County Sheriff s and fire/ems vehicles. Therefore, it is expected that the Recommended Alternative will not result in substantial impacts to community services. Title VI Considerations In February 1994, the President of the United States issued Executive Order (Environmental Justice) requiring federal agencies to analyze and address, as appropriate, disproportionately high adverse human health and environmental effects of federal actions on ethnic and cultural minority populations and low income populations, when such analysis is required by the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). An adverse effect on minority and/or low-income populations occurs when: (1) the adverse effect occurs primarily to a minority and/or low-income population; or, (2) the adverse effect suffered by the minority and/or low-income population is more severe or greater in magnitude than the adverse effect suffered by the non-minority and/or non-low-income populations. An evaluation of environmental, public health and interrelated social and economic effects of proposed projects on minority and/or low-income populations is required. All proposed projects should include measures to avoid, minimize, and/or mitigate disproportionately high and adverse impacts and provide off-setting benefits and opportunities to enhance communities, neighborhoods, and individuals affected by these activities. The 17 Environmental Justice criteria identified in Executive Order are: (1) air pollution; (2) noise; (3) water pollution; (4) soil contamination; (5) destruction of manmade resources; (6) destruction of natural resources; (7) diminution of aesthetic values; (8) detriment to community cohesion; (9) diminution of economic viability; (10) detriment to facilities access - public and private; (11) detriment to services access - public and private; (12) vibration; (13) diminution of employment opportunities; (14) displacement; (15) traffic congestion and impairment to mobility; (16) exclusion, isolation, or separation; and, (17) diminution of US Department of Transportation (USDOT) benefits. In addition to compliance with Executive Order 12898, any proposed federal project must comply with the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of Title VI and related nondiscrimination regulations provide that no person shall, on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, marital status, disability, or family composition be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subject to discrimination under any program of the federal, state, or local government. Title VIII guarantees each person equal opportunity in housing. In August 2000, the President of the United States issued Executive Order (Improving Access to Service for Persons with Limited English Proficiency), to clarify Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of Its purpose was to ensure accessibility to programs and services to eligible persons who are not proficient in the English language. A-2 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

16 Based on the social impacts assessment done in the ETDM Preliminary Environmental Discussion, in comparison to the demographic characteristics of Collier County, the 1,320-foot (quarter-mile) project buffer contains higher minority population percentages and lower percentages of individuals age 65 and above and individuals under age 18. The percentage of housing units with no vehicle available is slightly higher than the percentage for Collier County; the median family income is also notably less ($49,262) compared to Collier County ($68,556). In addition, Limited English Proficiency (LEP) accommodations will likely be required during public involvement efforts of the Project Development phase as 18.80% or 97 persons within the census tracts containing the project "speak English not well or not at all". The purpose of this project is to provide enhancements to the mobility and safety for vehicle traffic on SR 951 (regardless of status or classification). Right-of-way acquisition for the project will be minimal and not directly affect any existing residences, businesses or institutional properties. Therefore, FDOT does not anticipate that the proposed project will result in any disproportionate adverse impacts to any minority, ethnic, elderly or handicapped groups, and/or low-income populations in accordance with the provisions of Executive Order and FHWA Order a. No further Environmental Justice analysis is required. Title VI information is being made available at the Public Hearing (discussed on the following page). This project has been developed in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, and in accordance with Executive Order (Environmental Justice). This project has been developed without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex, religion, disability, or family status. Title VI provides that no person shall be, on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, disability or family status, be excluded from participating in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subject to discrimination under any program of the federal, state or local government. No comments have been received during this study regarding conflicts with Title VI or related statutes. Furthermore, the project is not anticipated to negatively affect community resources important to elderly persons, disabled individuals, non-drivers, transit-dependent individuals, or minorities. Controversy Potential FDOT conducted a Public Involvement Program for this project s PD&E study. The program is in compliance with the FDOT Project Development and Environment Manual, Section , Florida Statutes; Executive Orders and 11988; Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for implementing the procedural provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA); and 23 CFR 771. The project team has not received feedback from the public or other stakeholders expressing opposition to or controversy about the project. A-3 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

17 A public hearing was held on. This section will be completed after the Public Hearing. Conclusion The project will have a minimal effect on surrounding properties and will provide improved mobility in the corridor with improved operations during evacuation events. Emergency response will be improved. As the project will not affect community cohesion or community services, the Recommended Alternative is not expected to result in substantial social impacts. A.2. Economic SR 951 provides the primary north-south connection between both Interstate 75/US 41 and Marco Island, a major tourist destination and economic driver for the region. By providing a gateway to the densely populated coastal communities in Southwest Florida. SR 951 provides regional connectivity between Marco Island and regional centers in Lee County, including Florida Gulf Coast University and Southwest Florida International Airport. No adverse impacts are anticipated on commercial properties. By facilitating access to goods and services through a safer and more efficient movement of vehicular traffic through this portion of Collier County, a net economic enhancement is expected from the Recommended Alternative. A.3. Land Use Changes Existing Land Use The project s northern terminus is approximately 0.7 miles south of the intersection of SR 951 with US 41 and the southern terminus is about 6 miles north of Marco Island, all in southwestern Collier County, Florida. SR 951/Collier Boulevard is an existing transportation corridor and one of two main access routes to and from Marco Island. A review of the Efficient Transportation Decision- Making (ETDM) Environmental Screening Tool (EST) and available on-line aerials, indicates that existing land uses adjacent to the project area (within a 300-foot buffer from SR 951 roadway centerline) consist of residential (high density and mobile home), urban and built-up (retail/office), utilities/communications, upland forests, wetlands, and recreational (conservation and golf course). This portion of SR 951 is within the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (RBNERR) boundary. According to the RBNERR Master Plan, only the outside perimeter boundary is provided on the boundary maps, and privately owned land within those boundaries is not under the jurisdiction of the RBNERR. Five parcels of the property are adjacent to the project along the west side of SR 951. These parcels total approximately 20 acres. The remaining parcels are either privately owned or owned by Collier County. The parcels on the east side of SR 951 throughout the project limits and two parcels on the west side of SR 951 south of the Manatee A-4 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

18 Road intersection are privately owned. The remaining property adjacent to the project is owned by Collier County. This includes areas legally described by the Collier County Property Appraiser s website as proposed realignment of SR 951 ; however, these areas appear to occur within the existing ROW. Future Land Use A review of Collier County s Future Land Use Map shows that the area is designated as a mixed-use Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict along the study area of SR 951, with the conservation district Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve further to the west. Collier County has designated an Activity Center north of the study area, in the immediate vicinity of the SR 951/US 41 intersection. The Activity Center anticipates additional future commercial development to build upon what is already there today. In the immediate vicinity of the study area, the area west of SR 951 includes Rookery Bay Environmental Learning Center and is located within the managed boundary of the Rookery Bay Reserve Managed Boundary, so future development west of SR 951 is likely minimal if any. East of SR 951, a mix of highway-oriented commercial uses is mostly built up in the area, though redevelopment is possible and the vacant property north of Henderson Creek may become more attractive for commercial development. Changes in Land Use Patterns As discussed previously, the project will acquire a minimal amount of new ROW from currently vacant property to accommodate ponds and a southbound right turn lane at Tower Road. This acquisition will not result in changes in adjacent land uses beyond that which is already allowable or subject to revision under Collier County s planning/zoning/land development requirements and guidelines. There are no adverse anticipated effects on the area's character resulting from the Recommended Alternative, as widening SR 951 to six lanes supports Collier County s Long Range Needs Element transportation element in their Growth Management Plan and is consistent with the wider highway segment to the north. A widening to six lanes is also consistent with the Collier MPO s 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). Conclusion While some right-of-way will be needed for offsite ponds and a southbound right turn lane at Tower Road, these are proposed to be sited on vacant parcels. The project is consistent with plans for the area. Therefore, the Recommended Alternative is not expected to result in substantial changes in land use. A-5 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

19 A.4. Mobility SR 951 is designated as a hurricane evacuation route by the Florida Division of Emergency Management and is only one of two roadways that provide access onto and off of Marco Island. The only other evacuation route off Marco Island is San Marco Road (CR 92). San Marco Road is a two-lane roadway that does not directly connect to Interstate 75 and requires a much more circuitous path to reach the interstate and most other population centers in the region, and thus would likely attract substantially fewer evacuation trips than SR 951. The proposed enhancement to SR 951will increase the capacity of traffic that can be evacuated during an emergency event and improve emergency response times. The existing cross-section generally lacks sidewalks and amenities for transit. Currently, four-foot designated bicycle lanes are provided along both sides of SR 951 within the study limits. Improvements to the cross section previously shown in Figures 4 and 5 will include a 10-foot-wide shared use path on the east side of the road and a 5-foot-wide sidewalk on the west side of the road. Two seven-foot-wide buffered bike lanes will accommodate those cyclists that wish to use the roadway. Adequate space for future transit improvements like bus stops and pullouts will be accommodated in the corridor. As noted above, the widening of SR 951 to six lanes is consistent with both the Collier MPO s 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan and Collier County s Growth Management Plan. For all the reasons cited above, a net enhancement to mobility is expected. A.5. Aesthetic Effects The proposed widening of SR 951 will result in minor aesthetic impacts to the surrounding area as the additional lanes will be added to the median of the existing right-of-way. Other than pond areas that are proposed within vacant parcels and additional right-of-way from vacant property needed to accommodate a southbound right turn lane to Tower Road and a dual ditch system, no property will be acquired from adjoining land uses. Based on the minimal right-of-way needed, these impacts have been determined as not substantial. A.6. Relocation Potential The existing 200-foot highway right-of-way will generally accommodate the six-lane typical section for the project, and the preferred alternative will not result in any residential or business displacements. Right-of-way will need to be acquired for both the southbound right turn lane at Tower Road (along with a dual ditch system) and for two offsite stormwater ponds. Existing access to adjoining properties will be maintained. A-6 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

20 FDOT will carry out a right-of-way acquisition and relocation program in accordance with Florida Statute and the Uniform Relocation and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (Public Law , as amended by Public Law ). FDOT produced brochures that describe in detail the Department s relocation assistance program and right-of-way acquisition program called Your Relocation: Residential, Your Relocation: Business, Farms and Nonprofit Organizations, Your Relocation: Signs, and The Real Estate Acquisition Process. Each of these brochures was made available and distributed as needed at the public information workshop and at the public hearing, and also were made available upon request to any interested person. As a result, a Conceptual Stage Relocation Plan was not prepared in accordance with the provisions set forth in 49 CFR, Part 24.4 of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Acquisition Act of 1970, since no residential or business relocations are anticipated for this project, and access is maintained to all parcels. The FDOT will carry out a Right-of-Way and Relocation Program in accordance with Florida Statute and the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (Public Law as amended by Public Law ). The brochures that describe in detail the FDOT s Relocation Assistance Program and Right-of-Way acquisition program are Residential Relocation Under the Florida Relocation Assistance Program, Relocation Assistance Business, Farms and Non-profit Organizations, Sign Relocation Under the Florida Relocation Assistance Program, Mobile Home Relocation Assistance, and Relocation Assistance Program Personal Property Moves. All of these brochures were made available at the Public Hearing and upon request to any interested persons. Therefore, although there are no residential or business relocations, this section considers ROW acquisition and the impacts with this acquisition are not expected to be substantial.

21 ATTACHMENT B CULTURAL IMPACTS B.1. Historic Sites/Districts In accordance with Chapter 267 F.S. and FDOT procedures, a Cultural Resource Assessment Survey (CRAS) (Southeastern Archaeological Research, Inc. (SEARCH), February 2017) was prepared for the project to locate and identify any historic resources, including sites and/or districts, occurring within the project area of potential effect (APE) and to assess their significance in terms of their potential eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). As a result of the assessment, one newly recorded historic structure (8CR01395) was identified within the Area of Potential Effect (APE). Resource 8CR01395 lacks the architectural distinction and significant historical associations necessary to be considered for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and is recommended ineligible. No existing or potential historic districts were identified. No further historic survey is recommended in support of the proposed SR 951 improvements. The CRAS was submitted to SHPO on March 21, 2017 for review. SHPO concurred with the findings and recommendations in a letter received March 27, The SHPO concurrence letter is included in Appendix B. Although this is a state-funded project, a US Army Corps of Engineers permit could be required for impacts to Henderson Creek and associated wetlands. Therefore, the CRAS was also prepared in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act in addition to Chapter 267, F.S. The Recommended Alternative is not expected to result in substantial impacts to historical resources. B.2. Archaeological Sites As discussed in the previous section, the study team conducted a Cultural Resource Assessment Survey (CRAS) in February 2017, A total of 57 shovel test locations were inspected for surface artifacts, but were not excavated due to urban development or underground utilities. Overall, the existing right of way has been disturbed by road construction, maintenance, and extensive underground utilities, including fiber optic cables, telephone lines, and drainage pipes. No archaeological sites or occurrences were identified in the APE, and no further archaeological survey is recommended. The CRAS was submitted to SHPO on March 21, 2017 for review. SHPO concurred with the findings and recommendations in a letter received March 27, The SHPO concurrence letter is included in Appendix B. The Recommended Alternative is not expected to result in substantial impacts to archaeological resources. B-1 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

22 B.3. Recreation Areas The SR 951 study area is fully located within the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (RBNERR), an area within Collier County that includes 110,000 acres of native habitats including pristine mangrove forest, uplands and protected waters. The Reserve represents one of the few relatively undisturbed mangrove estuaries in North America. The RBNERR comprises the western extent of the Everglades ecosystem, an ecological region of international significance due to its high level of biodiversity, contiguous freshwater and marine wetlands and abundance of coastal and marine wildlife. Per the RBNERR Management Plan, annual visitation to the RBNERR is approximately 750,000 people. Recreational activities within the RBNERR including sport fishing, boating, hiking, sailing, bird watching or simply enjoying the aesthetics of the area. The RBNERR Environmental Learning Center and Headquarters is located on approximately 8.3 acres along the west side of SR 951 approximately 0.20-mile south from Tower Road. The Environmental Learning Center is a 16,500 square-foot facility with four research laboratories, classrooms and 140-seat auditorium, and two-story visitor center. A pedestrian observation bridge crosses south over Henderson Creek and connects to the Henderson Creek Interpretive Boardwalk and 0.50-mile long Snail Trail. Two additional trails, both unsurfaced, occur south of the Snail Trail and provide visitor access to other areas of the RBNERR. Access to these facilities is via an entrance on Tower Road. According to the 2013 RBNERR Master Plan, the following facilities are planned adjacent to the SR 951 project corridor near the existing Environmental Learning Center: Observation Tower (boardwalk constructed 2010) Collaborative Use Facility Visitor Use Provider Facilities Maintenance, Storage, and Additional Parking Facilities Coordination has taken place with management of the Environmental Learning Center. The SR 951 project will not encroach closer to the Environmental Learning Center facilities, and an addition of a southbound turn lane to Tower Road is expected to improve safety for motorists seeking to access the Environmental Learning Center. Therefore, the Recommended Alternative is expected to result in enhanced use of this recreational resource. B-2 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

Wetlands and Other Surface Waters Pursuant to Presidential Executive Order entitled Protection of Wetlands, the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) has developed a policy, (DOT Order A), Preservation of the Nation s Wetlands, dated August 24, 1978, which requires all federally funded or permitted highway projects to protect wetlands to the fullest extent possible. In accordance with this policy, as well as Part 2, Chapter 18 (Wetlands and Other Surface Waters) of the FDOT Project Development and Environment Manual, the study area was evaluated for wetlands and surface waters that have potential involvement with the proposed improvements. Wetland delineations were conducted by ecologists familiar with Florida s plant communities using wetland delineation methodology described in Rule , Florida Administrative Code, which considers the vegetation, hydrologic, and soil features that specifically exist in Florida. They also used the criteria described in the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (1987) and Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region (2010) to determine federal wetland jurisdictional boundaries. A functional assessment of the wetlands in the study area used the Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM) detailed in Chapter , Florida Administrative Code. The UMAM refers to the state-wide method to determine the functional value provided by wetlands and other surface waters and is used to determine the amount of mitigation required to offset wetland and surface water impacts for regulatory permits. The preferred alternative may impact approximately 6.4 acres of wetlands. Based on the findings of the Natural Resources Evaluation (Inwood Consulting Engineers, Inc., April 2017) (NRE), it was determined that there is no practical alternative to the proposed construction in wetlands and that the proposed action includes all practicable measures to minimize harm to wetlands. Table 1 indicates the acreage and types of wetland affected. C-1 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

These wetland mitigation areas provide emergent (herbaceous) and forested freshwater credits. Estuarine impacts, such as mangrove forests, may be purchased at Little Pine Island Mitigation Bank. The study area is not located within (but close to) the service area of Little Pine Island Mitigation Bank and permitting agencies may allow the use of this bank to offset impacts on a case-by-case basis; it is also a viable mitigation option to offset other surface water and Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) impacts. The anticipated wetland mitigation is provided in Table 1. These amounts may change as coordination continues with regulatory agencies during the design and permitting phases. Some of the ways that wetland impacts have been avoided or minimized include limiting widening to the existing right-of-way, adding travel lanes towards the median, and by adding the 10-foot shared-use path on the outside of the northbound lane rather than southbound lane, thus avoiding Rookery Bay Preserve and additional mangrove forest impacts. In addition, the Build Alternative minimizes impacts to Henderson Creek by restricting the size of the piles supporting the additional lanes. C-2 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

25 Based on the proposed impact footprint for the Recommended Alternative, there is no practicable alternative to construction in wetlands. However, the Recommended Alternative will have no significant short-term or long-term adverse impacts to wetlands. Measures to minimize and avoid these impacts to the greatest extent practicable have been implemented in the project design, and will be implemented through adherence to the FDOT s Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction and applicable agency permit conditions during project construction. Wetland impacts which will result from the construction of this project will be mitigated pursuant to Section , F.S., to satisfy all mitigation requirements of Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S., and 33 U.S.C Specific mitigation requirements will be developed during the upcoming environmental permitting phase of the project. The proposed project was evaluated for potential wetland impacts in accordance with Executive Order 11990, Protection of Wetlands. Based upon the above considerations, it is determined that there is no practicable alternative to the proposed construction in wetlands and the proposed action includes all practicable measures to minimize impacts to wetlands which may result from such use. The Recommended Alternative is not expected to result in substantial impacts to wetlands or surface waters. C.2. Aquatic Preserves and Outstanding Florida Waters The effects of the SR 951 project on Aquatic Preserves and Outstanding Florida Waters (OFW) were considered as required under Part 2, Chapter 19 of the FDOT Project Development and Environment Manual. The Florida Legislature, through the Florida Aquatic Preserve Act of 1975 (Chapter 258, Florida Statutes), set aside state-owned submerged lands with exceptional biological, aesthetic and scientific value as aquatic preserves. Generally, designated aquatic preserves are also considered Outstanding Florida Waters (OFWs). Florida Statutes Section (27) grants the FDEP the authority to designate OFWs statewide. Most OFWs are open water areas managed by the state or federal government as parks, wildlife refuges, preserves, marine sanctuaries, estuarine research reserves, aquatic preserves, etc. The SR 951 project is located within the Rookery Bay sub-basin of the Gulf of Mexico as defined by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). Rookery Bay is designated as both an Aquatic Preserve and an Outstanding Florida Water (OFW). According to FDEP, The Rookery Bay Aquatic Preserve, established in August, 1977, constitutes 58,076 acres of estuarine lagoonal bays and barrier islands. Henderson Creek is the largest source of freshwater inflow. The larger Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (RBNERR) is an area within Collier County that includes 110,000 acres of native habitats including pristine mangrove forest, uplands and protected waters. The Reserve represents one of the few relatively undisturbed mangrove estuaries in North America. The RBNERR comprises the western extent of the Everglades C-3 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

26 ecosystem, an ecological region of international significance due to its high level of biodiversity, contiguous freshwater and marine wetlands and abundance of coastal and marine wildlife. It is not possible to realign SR 951 to avoid the Rookery Bay Aquatic Preserve/RBNERR as it is an existing facility fully within the preserve s limits, and the effects of realignment would have a much greater social and environmental impact on the surrounding area. However, the proposed action includes all practicable measures to minimize impacts to surface water resources which may result from such use, described in greater detail in Section C.3 below. As a result, the Recommended Alternative is not expected to result in substantial impacts to wetlands or surface waters. C.3. Water Quality The effects of the project on water quality were considered per part 2 Chapter 20 of the FDOT Project Development and Environment Manual to ensure compliance with the Clean Water Act, particularly the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program administered by DEP under Section 403, Florida Statutes, and state water quality regulations under Chapter 62 of the Florida Administrative Code. As noted above in Section C.2, the project is located within SFWMD s limits, and Rookery Bay is designated both an Aquatic Preserve and an OFW. The project traverses one Waterbody ID (WBID) in the Rookery Bay Basin. WBID 3278U is verified as impaired for Nutrients on the current FDEP 303(d) list: WBID 3278U Rookery Bay (Coastal Segment) This WBID is listed as impaired for dissolved oxygen, fecal coliform, and Nutrients. Rookery Bay is an estuarine system. There are two parallel existing bridges (over Henderson Creek) within the project limits allowing for conveyance of offsite and onsite runoff to the Gulf of Mexico. The two bridges are designated as structure numbers and and are 130 feet long. There are two basins within the project limits. The stormwater runoff in Basins 1 and 2 is collected in roadside ditches discharging into Henderson Creek that flow toward the Gulf of Mexico. Some degree of water quality treatment is currently provided by the existing grass ditches with ditch blocks. The Recommended Alternative s stormwater management facilities have been developed in accordance with the water quality and quantity requirements of the SFWMD in the expectation of receiving an Environmental Resource Permit (ERP). Wet detention ponds will provide for water quality improvements; no water quantity attenuation for the project runoff is required due to the tidal nature of the receiving water body. Per SFWMD criteria, the wet detention system will treat 1" over the entire developed area or 2.5" over the net new impervious area, whichever is greater. Further coordination between the FDOT and SFWMD will continue during the upcoming environmental permitting and construction phases. With the design criteria produced for this C-4 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

27 project to address water quality, the Recommended Alternative is not expected to result in substantial impacts to water quality. C.5. Drainage and Floodplains Protection of floodplains and floodways is required by Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management; USDOT Order , Floodplain Management and Protection; and Federal-Aid Policy Guide 23 CFR 650A. The discussion that follows is consistent with part 2 Chapter 24 of the FDOT Project Development and Environment Manual. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has developed a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the study area. The relevant FIRM panel number is 12021C0612H, for Collier County, Florida dated May 16, Most the project is designated Zone AE; areas identified as Zone AE are areas of the 100-year floodplain where the base flood elevation is determined. The 100- year flood stage elevation at the vicinity of the project is 7 feet NAVD. Compensation for any floodplain impacts will not be required due to the tidal nature of the floodplains associated with the Gulf of Mexico. Per coordination with Collier County maintenance staff in August 2015, they indicated that SR 951 has not experienced overtopping, however Manatee Road has experienced flooding issues associated with clogged drainage pipes during heavy storm events. In October 2015, a flooding complaint letter was sent to FDOT from an adjacent development, Holiday Manor, on Henderson Creek Drive immediately north of the study area. The complainant states that since the reconstruction of that segment of SR 951 (Permit No S), improper construction, and/or lack of maintenance of the drainage ditches along SR 951 is causing flooding along Henderson Creek Drive. The main reason for the flooding was attributed to excessive vegetation and/or lack of maintenance of the ditches. During the design phase of the project, this area will be revisited to ensure that no offsite drainage is blocked and that positive drainage to the outfall is maintained. The Recommended Alternative is not expected to result in substantial impacts to existing drainage patterns or floodplains. C.7. Protected Species and Habitat This project was evaluated for potential impacts to wildlife and habitat resources, including protected species in accordance with 50 CFR Part 402 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended; 50 CFR 17 (federal animal list); F.S., Endangered and Threatened Species Act; Chapter 68A F.A.C. (Endangered and Threatened species list); 68A F.A.C. C-5 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

28 (Species of Special Concern list), and Part 2, Chapter 27 of the FDOT s Project Development and Environment Manual, Protected Species and Habitat. A Natural Resources Evaluation (NRE) (dated April 2017) was prepared under separate cover for this project to document current environmental conditions along the corridor and potential impacts to wildlife, habitat, or listed species; evaluate the project area s current potential to support species listed as endangered, threatened or of special concern; identify current permitting and regulatory agency coordination requirements for the project; and request comments from regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over the study. The proposed project corridor falls within the designated US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Consultation Areas (CA) for four federally-listed wildlife species: American crocodile, Florida bonneted bat, Florida scrub jay, and red-cockaded woodpecker. Other federally protected species that may occur in the project area include: American alligator, bald eagle, eastern indigo snake, Florida panther, smalltooth sawfish, West Indian manatee, wood stork, and Nassau grouper. Species designated by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) as threatened or species of special concern include: big cypress fox squirrel, Florida black bear (no longer imperiled and recently designated managed species ), and wading birds. FDOT determined that the proposed widening of SR 951 will have No Effect on the Florida scrub jay, red-cockaded woodpecker, bald eagle, Florida black bear, and wading birds. The proposed project May Affect, but is Not Likely to Adversely Affect the American crocodile, bonneted bat, American alligator, Florida panther, smalltooth sawfish, wood stork, Nassau grouper, and big cypress fox squirrel. Based on the US Army Corps of Engineers Effect Determination Key for Manatee (2013), it is anticipated that the proposed action May Affect the manatee since the project contains work in a Warm Water Aggregation Area. Finally, per the USFWS South Florida Programmatic Wood Stork Key (2010), it is anticipated that the proposed actions will Not Likely Adversely Affect the wood stork since the project contains suitable foraging habitat, but impacts to those habitats do not occur within a core foraging area and will be offset at a USFWS-approved mitigation bank. The NRE was submitted to the US Fish and Wildlife Service and they have indicated their concurrence with these findings in a letter dated. The effect determination for the statelisted species was concurred with by the FFWCC in a letter dated. C-6 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

29 Species specific commitments were previously discussed in Section 6 above. Through adherence to these commitments, the Recommended Alternative is not expected to result in substantial impacts to protected species or their habitats. C.8. Essential Fish Habitat This project was evaluated for potential impacts to Essential Fish Habitat (EFH), including protected species in accordance with 50 CFR Part 600 of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, as amended; and Part 2, Chapter 11 of the FDOT s Project Development and Environment Manual, Essential Fish Habitat. The Build Alternative would directly impact less than acres of EFH substrate associated with Henderson Creek. These impacts would be the result of 10 additional 18-inch piles needed for the inside and outside of the bridge. The pile driving activities are likely to produce temporary, localized sediment plumes in the action area that would dissipate once pile driving stopped. The plumes would likely settle out of the water column and turbidity subside to background levels within the hour, depending on sediment type and currents. The sediment and turbidity would be restrained by barriers and other Best Management Practices (BMPs) designed to avoid or minimize impacts. The pile driving activities would also produce noise and vibrations that would likely result in temporary avoidance of the action area by demersal and pelagic fish; however, studies have shown that most species quickly recolonize the action area once pile driving activities stop. The duration and probability of direct impacts to Federally managed species would be minimized by implementing time (or seasonal) restrictions and other best management practices designed to avoid or minimize impacts. Indirect effects of the proposed widening may include additional shading impacts to EFH associated with Henderson Creek. These indirect effects would be relatively minor given the height and width of the proposed bridge would and not greatly change light penetration to the water or result in dramatic changes to the plant community (since none occurs) in the water. A shading evaluation may be completed during the design and permit phases of the project, if warranted. The project s actions are not expected to cause cumulative impacts to EFH or Federally managed resources because most of these areas are owned by the public or protected by regulations. Any future project intending to impact EFH or Federally managed resources would be required to obtain the necessary permits and demonstrate avoid and minimization measures as well as mitigation. Unavoidable wetland impacts, including those to EFH, will be offset to fulfill the requirements of 33 U.S.C and Part IV of Chapter 373, Florida Statutes. FDOT will coordinate with C-7 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

30 USFWS, NMFS and FWC to identify the appropriate mitigation during the design and permit phases of the project. Based on the limited scale of impacts on EFH outlined above and the mitigative measures proposed for wetlands and EFH, the Recommended Alternative is not expected to result in substantial impacts to EFH. C-8 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

31 ATTACHMENT D PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT D.1. Highway Traffic Noise A traffic noise study was performed in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations Title 23 Part 772 (23 CFR 772), Procedures for Abatement of Highway Traffic Noise and Construction Noise and Florida Statute , State Highway Construction; Means of Noise Abatement, following methodology and policy established by FDOT in the Project Development and Environment Manual, Part 2, Chapter 17. The purpose of the noise study is to identify noise sensitive sites that would be impacted with the proposed project and evaluate abatement measures at impacted noise sensitive sites if applicable. The project is considered a Type I project as defined in 23 CFR 772 because the proposed improvement will add lane capacity to the SR 951 corridor. As required by 23 CFR 772, predicted noise levels were produced using the FHWA Traffic Noise Model (TNM), version 2.5. Within the project limits, noise sensitive land uses adjacent to SR 951 include residential neighborhoods, outdoor eating areas and seating, educational buildings, nature trails, and a golf course. Seventy five noise sensitive sites were identified within the project limits. With added lanes on SR 951 being constructed in the existing median of the facility, no travel lanes will be closer to sensitive receptors under the future build alternative than current conditions. Of the 75 noise sensitive sites within the study limits, zero noise sensitive sites are predicted to experience impacts in the future from traffic noise associated with the proposed widening of SR 951 from four to six lanes. In this context, no impacts means that no receptors will have noise levels that approach the FHWA Noise Abatement Criteria (NAC) or exhibit a substantial increase of greater than 15 db(a) over existing levels. Future no-build alternative exterior traffic noise levels are predicted to range from 47.1 db(a) to 64.4 db(a). With the proposed widening of SR 951, the exterior noise levels for the future (2040) build alternative are predicted to range from 50.0 db(a) to 63.7 db(a). When compared to the existing noise levels, future build alternative noise levels are predicted to increase by an average of 2.3 db(a). The range of increase is 0.7 db(a) to 3.4 db(a). Therefore, none of the evaluated sites will experience a substantial increase [15 db(a) or more] of traffic noise because of the proposed widening. Noise Abatement Considerations Noise abatement measures were not considered at any noise sensitive sites identified adjacent to SR 951 because the predicted noise levels do not approach, meet or exceed the residential Noise Abatement Criteria for the land uses present in the corridor, nor are they expected to substantially D-1 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

32 increase above existing conditions as a direct result of the transportation improvement project. Therefore, the FDOT does not recommend the construction of noise barriers in conjunction with the SR 951 improvements. Construction Impacts Based on the existing land use within the limits of this project, construction of the proposed roadway improvements may have temporary noise and vibration impacts. Vibration sensitive sites on the project include residential neighborhoods, outdoor eating areas and seating, educational buildings, nature trails and a golf course. Trucks, compaction equipment, earth moving equipment, demolition equipment, pumps, and generators are sources of construction noise and vibration. During the construction phase of the proposed project, short-term noise and vibration may be generated by stationary and mobile construction equipment. The construction noise and vibration will be temporary at any location and will be controlled by adherence to the most recent edition of the FDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction. Should any noise or vibration issue arise during construction, the Project Engineer, in concert with the District Noise Specialist and the Contractor, will investigate additional methods of controlling these impacts Date of Public Knowledge Most property adjacent to SR 951 within the study limits is already developed or protected from development as part of the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. The date that the State Environmental Impact Report is approved will be the Date of Public Knowledge. Under FDOT policy, a land use review will be performed during the project s final design to determine if any sites received a building permit or were constructed after the time the noise study report was performed but prior to the Date of Public Knowledge. If any new sensitive receptors are identified, they will be assessed for noise impacts at that time. As no impacts were identified and no noise abatement is proposed, the Recommended Alternative is not expected to result in substantial impacts associated with highway traffic noise. D.2. Air Quality The discussion on air quality that follows is consistent with the requirements of Part 2 Chapter 16 of the FDOT Project Development and Environment Manual. Under the Clean Air Act as amended (40 CFR 50), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for six pollutants: ozone, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and lead. Virtually all of the state of Florida, including Collier County, is designated as in attainment of the NAAQS for these six pollutants. The Transportation Conformity Rule (40 CFR 93, Subpart A) may apply to projects in areas designated as nonattainment for ozone, nitrogen dioxide or particulate matter. This portion of SR 951 is located in an area that is designated as in attainment of the NAAQS for ozone, nitrogen D-2 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

33 dioxide or particulate matter. Therefore, the Transportation Conformity Rule does not apply to the Recommended Alternative. This document does not incorporate an analysis of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or climate change effects for the grade separation alternative because no federal GHG standards have been set, and the potential change in GHG emissions is very small in the context of the affected environment. Because of the insignificance of the GHG impacts, those local impacts will not be meaningful to a decision on the environmentally preferable alternative or to a choice among alternatives. For these reasons, no alternatives-level GHG analysis has been performed for this project. The project is of a scale such that an air quality screening is not necessary based on Part 2 Chapter 16 of the PD&E Manual as it is not expected that the project could result in an exceedance of the carbon monoxide (CO) standard. In any case, enhancements to the Manatee Road intersection are expected to provide improved operations and greater capacity and reduce delay and vehicle idling. Construction activities for the project may have short-term air quality effects for those residents and travelers within the immediate vicinity of the project. The air quality effect will be temporary and will primarily be in the form of emissions from diesel-powered construction equipment and dust from embankment and haul road areas. Air pollution associated with the creation of airborne particles will be effectively controlled through the use of watering or the application of other controlled materials in accordance with FDOT s Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction. Because of improved traffic operations and reduced delay at the Manatee Road intersection, the Recommended Alternative is expected to result in enhanced air quality. D.3. Contamination A Level I contamination evaluation was conducted and documented in a Contamination Screening Evaluation Report (CSER) (dated March 2017) in accordance with the FDOT Project Development and Environment Manual, Part 2, Chapter 22 to determine potential contamination concerns from properties or operations located within and proximate to the SR 951 project area. The environmental screening has resulted in identification of nine sites that may present the potential for petroleum contamination or hazardous materials. Three of these sites have been given a Medium ranking, three sites have been given a Low ranking and three sites have been given a No ranking for contamination potential. The three Medium ranked sites are: Shell / Circle K / Super America Active gas station in the southeast quadrant of the SR 951 Manatee Road intersection D-3 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

34 Collier County property / Former 7-Eleven East side of SR 951 south of fire station RaceTrac #2358 Active gas station in the northeast quadrant of SR 951 / Manatee Road intersection A National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) asbestos survey and screening for metals-based coatings was conducted for the bridges over Henderson Creek. The purpose of the study was to identify the location, condition and approximate quantities of Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) and Metals-Based Coatings (MBC) The survey was conducted in June 2015 and July 2015 by an Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) accredited inspector in general accordance with the sampling protocols established in Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 763. A total of twenty-one bulk samples were collected from seven homogeneous areas of suspect ACM from both bridge structures (FDOT Bridge No SB and NB). No ACMs were identified from the samples collected. No suspect ACMs or metals-based coatings were identified in the review of existing bridge construction plans dated 1987 and Laboratory analytical results indicated the presence of metals-based coatings on a total of three (3) metal utility pipes located below the bridge deck on both bridge structures. Based on the rankings of risk for the sites identified above, the level of effects is not expected to be substantial. D.4. Utilities and Railroads The effects of the proposed improvements to SR 951 on utilities and railroads were considered in accordance with Part 2, Chapter 10 of the FDOT Project Development and Environment Manual. Utilities In order to evaluate potential surface and subsurface utility conflicts associated with the proposed project, information was collected concerning the location and characteristics of the existing utilities within the study area. Base maps were sent to utility providers with a request to provide information on existing and planned utilities. Maps that were returned by each utility provider, showing specific locations of each utility, are included in the project files. Utilities are included on the concept plans in Appendix A of the Preliminary Engineering Report (PER). All anticipated utility impacts occur within the existing SR 951 right-of-way. The majority of the utility impacts that are outlined in this section are due to the construction of the proposed stormwater ditches, drainage piping, bridge widening, sidewalk, and shared use path. Other than roadway crossings, existing utilities that will be located under the proposed pavement are also D-4 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

35 identified as to be relocated. Table 2 summarizes the affected utilities and anticipated costs of the utility relocations on the project. These costs are not reimbursable costs to the utility owners. Table 2: Utilities Within and Adjacent to the SR 951 Study Area Utility Company Collier County Traffic Marco Island Utilities Collier County Utilities Comcast Florida Power & Light Co. (FP&L) - Distribution TECO Peoples Gas Century Link Facility Fiber 24 Raw Water Main 10 Water Main 12 Water Maim 20 Water Main 12 Force Main Aerial Fiber OH Electric 8 Gas Main Communications Description The County maintains a traffic fiber within the project limits. The City maintains a 24 raw water main located along the west side of SR 951 for the limits of the project. The County maintains a 10 water main, 12 water main, and 12 force main along the east side of SR 951 from Manatee Road to the south side of the existing bridge. The County maintains a 20 water main and a 12 force main along the east side of SR 951 from the existing bridge north to Tower Road. Comcast maintains primarily aerial fiber cable attached to FP&L s pole line along the west side of SR 951 for the limits of the project. Comcast also has several buried service drops throughout the project. FP&L maintains overhead distribution electric pole line along the west side of SR 951 for the limits of the project. TECO maintains an 8 steel gas main along the east side of SR 951 for the limits of the project. Century Link maintains buried fiber facilities along both sides of SR 951 for the limits of the project.

A description of the impacts that were evaluated to generate the estimated relocation costs follows: D-5 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

36 Collier County Traffic Minor impacts are anticipated for the County s traffic fiber facilities on the project. These conflicts will include areas of relocation and/or adjustment due to the roadway and drainage improvements located at the existing signalized intersection at Manatee Road. Collier County Utilities Minor impacts are anticipated to Collier County Utilities (CCU) existing 12-inch force located along the east side of SR 951. Most of CCU s existing 10-inch, 12-inch, and 20-inch water mains, also located on the east side of SR 951, will require relocation due to the proposed bridge work, roadway widening, and drainage improvements. City of Marco Island Utilities The City s existing 24-inch raw water main located along the west side of SR 951 will require relocation at Henderson Creek due to impacts of the new bridge widening. Minor relocations/adjustments of the City s main are also anticipated for the remainder of the project. Comcast Communications The majority of Comcast s facilities are aerial and located on the existing FP&L s pole line with buried service drops servicing adjacent neighborhoods and business. There are no impacts anticipated to Comcast s aerial facilities, since FP&L s existing pole will likely not require relocation. Impacts to Comcast s buried service facilities will likely occur due to proposed drainage feature and ditch grading. FP&L Distribution Impacts to FP&L s distribution line are not anticipated on the project. Existing power poles may require holding during construction of proposed drainage features and ditch grading. TECO Peoples Gas Minor impacts and adjustment to TECO s existing 8-inch gas main located on the east side of SR 951 are expected. Minor relocations are anticipated at side streets and areas where ditch grading will occur over TECO s main. Century Link Relocation of Century Link s existing buried fiber system along both sides of SR 951 are anticipated due to proposed drainage improvements and roadway widening. Century Link s aerial crossing of Henderson Creek will also require relocation to accomplish the proposed bridge construction activities. Conclusion on Utility Impacts The FDOT s coordination with potentially affected utility owners will continue as necessary throughout the future project Design and Construction phases. Project design will seek to avoid D-6 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

37 and minimize impacts to existing utilities to the extent feasible within FDOT s ROW. Any unavoidable relocation of utilities will be done in accordance with the respective ROW/easement agreements for all applicable parties. While the Recommended Alternative is expected to require the relocation of existing utilities within the project corridor, these relocations are not expected to result in substantial impacts. Railroads No railroads or railroad crossings are present in the study area. D.5. Construction The effects of construction impacts from the SR 951 improvements were considered as required under Part 2, Chapter 6 of the FDOT Project Development and Environment Manual. Construction activities for the Recommended Alternative will have minimal, temporary, yet unavoidable, air, noise, water quality, traffic flow, and visual impacts for those residents and travelers within the immediate vicinity of the project. The air quality effect will be temporary and will primarily be in the form of emissions from dieselpowered construction equipment and dust from construction activities. Air pollution associated with the creation of airborne particles will be effectively controlled through the use of watering or the application of other control materials in accordance with FDOT s Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction. Water quality effects resulting from erosion and sedimentation during construction will be controlled in accordance with FDOT s Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, implementation of regulatory permit conditions and through the use of industry-standard Best Management Practices (BMPs). Short term construction-related wetland impacts will be minimized during project construction by adherence to FDOT s Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction Measures and applicable agency permit conditions. These specifications include, but are not limited to the use of siltation barriers, dewatering structures, and containment devices that will be implemented for controlling turbid water discharges outside of construction limits. Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) and sequencing of construction will be planned and scheduled to minimize traffic delays throughout the project. Signs will be used to provide notice of road closures and other pertinent information to the traveling public. The local news media will be notified in advance of construction-related activities so that motorists, residents, and business D-7 Draft State Environmental Impact Report

38 persons can make accommodations. All provisions of FDOT s Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction will be followed. Construction of the project may require excavation of unsuitable material (muck), placement of embankments, and use of materials, such as limerock, asphaltic concrete, and Portland cement concrete. Demucking, if needed, will be controlled by Section 120 of FDOT s Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction. The removal of structures and debris will be in accordance with state regulatory agencies permitting this operation. The contractor is responsible for his methods of controlling pollution on haul roads and in areas used for disposal of waste materials from the project. Temporary erosion control features, as specified in FDOT s Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, could consist of temporary grassing, sodding, mulching, sandbagging, slope drains, sediment basins, sediment checks, artificial coverings, and berms. For the residents living in the project area, some of the materials stored for the project may be displeasing visually; however, this will be a temporary condition and should pose no substantial, long term problem. Therefore, construction impacts are not expected to be substantial. D.6. Bicycles and Pedestrians As discussed previously under Section A.4, the existing cross-section generally lacks sidewalks. Bicycle lanes are limited to four-foot designated lanes within the project limits. Improvements to the cross section previously shown in Figures 4 and 5 will include a 10-foot-wide shared use path on the east side of the road and a 5-foot-wide sidewalk on the west side of the road. Two sevenfoot-wide buffered bike lanes will accommodate those cyclists that wish to use the roadway. By providing improved bicycle and pedestrian facilities, a net enhancement is expected. D.7.
