6. Unavoidable Adverse Environmental Impacts

Section PDF, or text version...

While Section 3 identifies potential project-related adverse impacts and mitigation or project modifications to minimize or eliminate those impacts, certain potential adverse impacts cannot be fully avoided. These potential adverse environmental effects are identified below. However, based on the information provided in Section 3, including mitigation to be implemented to reduce the significance of the impact, none of the unavoidable adverse environmental effects identified in this section are considered significant.

6.1. SHORT-TERM EFFECTS
The project will result in the following short-term effects that cannot be avoided:
 Short-term (construction phase) disruption to, and exposure of, soils
 Short-term and localized increases in construction-related dust and vehicle/equipment emissions
 Short-term disruptions to traffic due to construction activities, road closures and work within public rights-of way
 Temporary construction-related noise
 Increased energy expenditures associated with construction activities.

6.2. LONG-TERM EFFECTS
The project will result in the following long-term effects that cannot be avoided:
 Demolition of existing buildings within the project footprint (including relocation of existing businesses)
 New traffic patterns due to permanent closure of existing roads
 Periodic noise events from emergency helicopter access/egress
 Modified viewshed
