DEW-z" Updated 12/2014 Unique Natural Features and Agricultural Lands 1 The project is located in a residential neighborhood, no unique natural features or agricultural lands. See farmland map, google earth images, area maps. Vegetation and Wildlife 1 The site requires a permit for tree removal,grubbing and land clearing and will be inspected for protected trees, mangroves and gopher tortoises. Necessary permits will be obtained if protected wildlife are found. See construction plans. Summary of Findings and Conclusions: Successful completion of the project in SA 1 — County residents in this service area are served by septic tanks. Proposed activities in this service area are installing new sewer mains, laterals and hookups. New sewer mains in the area will provide for elimination of substandard septic systems and improved health and safety conditions with the provision of public sewer services. Successful completion of the project in SA 2 — County residents in this service area are affected by flooding and poor drainage. Proposed improvements include storm water improvements through improved swales and new culverts that will convey storm water flows to an existing wet detention pond. ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED ACTION Alternatives and Project Modifications Considered [24 CFR§58.40(e), Ref.40 CFR §1508.9] (Identify other reasonable courses of action that were considered and not selected, such as other sites, design modifications, or other uses of the subject site. Describe the benefits and adverse impacts to the human environment of each alternative and the reasons for rejecting it.) This is Phase 2 of a community plan, County Utilities determined this area to be considered for the Community Sewer System due to problems with septic systems. See design and studies in the Comprehensive Plan. No Action Alternative [24 CFR§58.40(e)] (Discuss the benefits and adverse impacts to the human environment of not implementing the preferred alternative). Project will improve sewage and drainage problems in the existing neighborhood. Not performing the activity will leave substandard conditions and lead to continued slum and blight conditions in an older, minority and low income neighborhood. Mitigation Measures Recommended [24 CFR§58.40(d),40 CFR§1508.201 (Recommend feasible ways in which the proposal or its external factors should be modified in order to minimize adverse environmental impacts and restore or enhance environmental quality.) No adverse environmental conditions identified. i Additional Studies Performed (Attach studies or summaries) None Page 9 of 11 22 [Previously recommended EA formats are obsolete.]
