• Wildlife • Endangered, Threatened <br />and Species <br />Impacts to surface waters and wetlands will require an environmental <br />resource permit (ERP) from St. Johns River Water Management District <br />(SJRWMD) and a Section 404 permit from US Army Corps of Engineers <br />(USACE). No wetlands were identified to exist within the study limits. <br />Minimal other surface water impacts are anticipated with filling of roadside <br />swales and a water control district canal due to drainage culvert extensions. <br />Kimley-Horn staff reviewed existing available information to determine if <br />any listed species may occur within or in the vicinity of the project area. <br />Based upon our review no listed species have a probability of occurrence <br />or have been observed along the corridor: <br />4.4 ALTERNATIVE ALIGNMENTS <br />Several alternative alignments were evaluated in conjunction with widening <br />the 58th Avenue corridor to determine and quantify impacts associated with <br />each. Alternative alignments along the corridor were evaluated to determine <br />impacts to natural features (drainage canals, wetlands, etc.), private property <br />(improved and unimproved) and projected construction costs. The <br />following describes the alternative alignments evaluated and their <br />corresponding advantages and disadvantages: <br />Alignment A — Left -Side Widening <br />Alignment A was evaluated to determine the impacts associated with this <br />alignment. Evaluating the corridor related to a left -side widening has clear <br />advantages and disadvantages. One advantage associated with a left side <br />widening alignment, is that Indian River County owns one of the three (3) <br />parcels proposed right-of-way would be needed. <br />One distinct disadvantage associated with this alignment is Florida Power <br />and Light (FPL) has transmission/distribution facilities that reside within an. <br />easement along the corridor's west side that would need to be moved and re- <br />established outside of the proposed right-of-way acquisition. <br />This alignment will require right-of-way acquisition from 3 parcels; 1 County <br />owned parcel, 1 business parcel impact, 1 planned residential subdivision and <br />Kimley»»Horn 168 <br />
