The purpose of the improvements is to comply with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular 150/5300-13A, Airport Design minimum required runway and parallel taxiway centerline separation distances. The Runway Design Code applicable to Runway 7-25 is B-II. FAA airport design standards for B-II require a runway to parallel taxiway centerline separation distance of 240 feet. Currently, the centerlines of Runway 7-25 and Taxiway A are 200 feet apart. Ricondo and Associates, Inc. (R&A) has prepared for the Monroe County Department of Airports (Airport Sponsor) a Runway and Parallel Taxiway Alternatives - Planning and Technical Analyses. The study analyzed three alternatives: shifting the runway to the northwest, relocating parallel Taxiway "A" to the southeast, or shifting both the runway and Taxiway A. The Monroe County Department of Airports has reviewed the operational and financial impacts associated with the three key alternatives, and has determined shifting Runway 7-25 to the northwest a total of 40 feet as the Sponsor's preferred alternative for use in developing the EA. This recommendation has been presented to FAA. Final documentation is scheduled to be completed by May 2016 and the Airport Layout Plan is being updated to reflect the proposed shift. Shifting of the runway will also require removal of vegetation from the relocated Runway Object Free Area (ROFA) north of Runway 7-25. The EA will provide the foundation for the completion of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) environmental review process, which will support either the issuance of a Finding of No Significant Impact/Record of Decision (FONSI/ROD) or a finding by the FAA that an environmental impact statement(EIS) is required (should it be discovered that the project would result in significant impact that cannot be mitigated as part of the FONSI/ROD). As part of this effort, the Project Team will be responsible for the dissemination of the EA to government agencies, elected officials, public interest groups, etc., and coordination with the FAA. The EA will also include the documentation of the projects purpose and the Monroe County's proposed solution, consultation with various stakeholders, and the preparation of the EA documents. During preparation of the EA, issues may arise that would necessitate modification of this scope of services and the associated budget. While this scope of services identifies all work items believed necessary for completion of the EA, additional work items may arise from comments submitted during public and agency scoping, agency coordination, and agency and public review periods associated with the Draft EA. In the Proposed Separation Distance Improvements Environmental Assessment Scope of Work Page Page 3 of 18 THE FLORIDA KEYS MARATHON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT MAY 2016 EXHIBIT A - 12/14-68 event that such changes are required, any modification to this scope of services will be coordinated and approved by the Monroe County, prior to work being performed. This section provides a summary scope of work and approach for this effort. This scope of work assumes that the Project Team's effort will utilize, to the extent practical, information from the environmental process that was initiated in 2009 for the proposed airfield improvements (this process resulted in the development of a Draft EA in 2013 that was never released for public review). 1.2 Key Assumptions For budgeting purposes,the following assumptions have been made: • The Airport sponsor will provide available electronic copies of the 2013 Draft EA and accompanying support documentation completed by URS Corporation. The level of effort assumes that the native files are no longer available and only a PDF can be provided. • Additional research for the following environmental categories will be needed to update the information contained in the 2013 Draft EA and to evaluate the additional alternatives: Biological Resources; Climate; Coastal Resources; Historical, Cultural, Architectural, and Archeological Resources; Land Use; Noise and Noise-Compatible Land Use; and Water Resources. The field reconnaissance for biological resources, water resources, and wetlands was last performed in 2008-2010 timeframe. R&A assumes a single site visit will be needed to update the analyses completed previously. A Jurisdictional Determination from the Army Corps of Engineers for the wetland boundaries will not be required. Additional surveys that might be requested by resources agencies, for example species specific wildlife or vegetation surveys are not included in this scope. • The level of effort assumes informal consultation with the National Marine Fisheries Service Protected Species and Habitat Divisions and the Fish and Wildlife Service. Agency coordination can be accomplished through web based conference calls.Travel for onsite meetings is not included. • A single site visit to the previously proposed mitigation site will be conducted during the inspections for biological and water resources. The previously proposed mitigation site is still available and acceptable by the agencies and FAA. No additional research will be required to locate and inspect a new mitigation site. • The Airport sponsor intends to conduct this EA simultaneously with a master plan update. This scope assumes the master plan update will provide current aerial photography and forecast of aircraft operations including fleet mix needed for the aircraft noise analysis. • The operation levels that were used to generate the 2013 Draft EA baseline noise contours, representing conditions in 2012 and the forecast 2016 and 2021 conditions do not reflect baseline or future conditions needed to be analyzed in the EA. An update to the noise contours will be required to reflect change in operational levels and required use of the FAA's Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT) model. Proposed Separation Distance Improvements Environmental Assessment Scope of Work Page Page 4 of 18 THE FLORIDA KEYS MARATHON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT MAY 2016 EXHIBIT A - 12/14-68 • To complete the NEPA environmental review process, the Project Team will be responsible for the dissemination of the EA to government agencies (unless otherwise directed by FAA), tribes, elected officials, public interest groups, etc., and coordination with the FAA. • This proposal includes assisting the Monroe County with consultation with the various regulatory agencies that will need to review the proposed project and the Draft EA. Acquisition of any required permits will follow the FAA's finding on the EA and will be covered by a separate scope of work and fee to be negotiated. • For budgeting purposes, it has been assumed that the FAA will not require assistance with processing Freedom of Information Act(FOIA)requests. • The R&A Team consists of Birkitt Environmental Services, Inc., Deborah Murphy Lagos & Associates, LLC, and Janus Research. Task 1 Purpose and Need The purpose and need section will be developed to indicate the Airport sponsor's proposed solution to the existing airfield deficiency. It is anticipated, however, that refinements to the Purpose and Need Statement discussed in the 2013 Draft EA will be very minor. 1.1 NEED STATEMENT The need(s) of the Proposed Action will he identified based on the latest FAA standards and confirmed in consultation with Monroe County staff. This task will include a review of the runway and taxiway design criteria included in FAA AC 5300-13A, Change 1, Airport Design, FAA Order 1050.1F, and the "Need for the Proposed Project"section of the 2013 Draft EA. 1.2 PROJECT PURPOSE This task will include the determination of the actions required to solve the existing airfield deficiency and bring the runway and taxiways into compliance with FAA standards. The purpose and need statement will drive the range of reasonable alternatives that can be considered in the EA. The purpose and need statement, and supporting discussion, will be presented in non-technical terms that are understandable to individuals who are not familiar with aviation. 1.3 DEFINE PROPOSED ACTION The Airport sponsors proposed solution to meet the project's purpose and need will be reviewed and discussed in further detail, including anticipated enabling projects. This subtask will include a discussion of which agencies have authority over and responsibility for the Proposed Action, when the Proposed Action may/can occur and what is the duration, what activities would be associated with the Proposed Action, and how is the action going to take place. This section will also include a discussion on the project milestones, information on the nature and types of construction including site clearing requirements and any other Proposed Separation Distance Improvements Environmental Assessment Scope of Work Page Page 5 of 18 THE FLORIDA KEYS MARATHON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT MAY 2016 EXHIBIT A — 12/14-68 activities necessary to support construction, and information on reasonably foreseeable future requirements, including pavement rehabilitation, etc. 1.4 DEVELOP PURPOSE AND NEED WORKING PAPER R&A will prepare a preliminary working paper/EA section that will include background information on the Airport; discuss the purpose and need for the proposed project; and identify the Proposed Action, requested federal actions, and timeframe for implementing the Proposed Action as required for the EA. The preliminary working paper will be submitted electronically to Monroe County staff for review and comment. 1.5 PURPOSE AND NEED WORKING PAPER REVIEW R&A will compile all comments and discuss them with Monroe County staff. After concurrence by Monroe County staff on responses to the comments, R&A will revise the text for review and comment by FAA staff. R&A will compile all FAA comments on the revised preliminary working paper, and then discuss the comments with Monroe County and FAA staff. After concurrence by Monroe County and FAA staff on responses to the comments, R&A will revise the text for inclusion as Section 1 in the preliminary Draft EA. Task 1.0 Deliverables: • Preliminary Purpose and Need Working Paper • Response to Monroe County staff comments • Revised Preliminary Purpose and Need Working Paper • Response to FAA comments • Preliminary Purpose and Need EA Section 1 Task 2 Alternatives Analysis 2.1 DEVELOP ALTERNATIVES WORKING PAPER This effort will include development of the alternatives section of the EA to reflect the Monroe County's proposed solution and the feasibility of implementing the alternatives developed in the ongoing planning effort. For budgeting purposes, it has been assumed that the Runway and Parallel Taxiway Alternatives - Planning and Technical Analyses will provide adequate documentation to support the development of the alternatives and the reasoning for the Sponsor's Preferred Alternative, or Proposed Action. The Proposed Action Alternative and the No Action Alternative will be carried forward in the EA. This preliminary working paper/EA section will document the alternatives identified in the Runway and Parallel Taxiway Alternatives-Planning and Technical Analyses underway by Jacobs and R&A, including the No Action and Proposed Action alternatives, and how each would meet or not meet the purpose and need for the project. An alternatives analysis will then be conducted to screen out those that do not meet purpose and Proposed Separation Distance Improvements Environmental Assessment Scope of Work Page Page 6 of 18 THE FLORIDA KEYS MARATHON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT MAY 2016 EXHIBIT A - 12/14-68 need. R&A will prepare a preliminary working paper documenting the identification and consideration of alternatives and submit it electronically to Monroe County staff review. 2.2 ALTERNATIVES WORKING PAPER REVIEW R&A will compile all comments on the preliminary working paper and discuss the comments with Monroe County staff during a meeting or teleconference. After concurrence by Monroe County staff on responses to the comments, R&A will revise the text for review and comment by FAA staff. R&A will compile all FAA comments on the revised preliminary working paper and discuss the comments with Monroe County and FAA staff. After concurrence by Monroe County and FAA staff on responses to the comments, R&A will revise the draft working paper for inclusion as Section 2 in the Preliminary Draft EA. Task 2.0 Deliverables: • Preliminary Alternatives Working Paper • Response to Monroe County staff comments • Revised Preliminary Alternatives Working Paper • Response to FAA comments • Preliminary Alternatives EA Section 2 Task 3 Affected Environment The Affected Environment Section (Section 3.0) in the 2013 Draft EA will be reviewed and updated, as needed, to ensure that the data presented is up to date and sufficient for the analysis of the alternatives carried forward for environmental analysis. 3.1 DESCRIPTION AND IDENTIFICATION OF STUDY AREA R&A will identify the study area for the EA based on the potential effects of the Proposed Action and reasonable alternatives. A brief description of the study area along with an exhibit depicting the geographic limits of the study area will be prepared. This scope of work assumes a new aerial photo of the Airport will be flown for use in the concurrent master plan. 3.2 AFFECTED JURISDICTIONS The political jurisdiction(s) in which the Airport lies or which may be affected by the proposed project will be identified. 3.3 EXISTING LAND USE AND ZONING Land use data for the study area will be compiled using electronic data from the City of Marathon and Monroe County or other sources and compiled into a GIS database. R&A will check for updates to the existing land use, comprehensive plans, land use plans, zoning ordinances, and other documentation '.., Proposed Separation Distance Improvements _. ' Environmental Assessment Scope of Work Page Page 7 of 1a THE FLORIDA KEYS MARATHON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT MAY 2016 EXHIBIT A - 12/14-68 pertaining to land use planning and management in the vicinity of the Airport included in the 2013 Draft EA. If future land use plans are available for the affected area,they will also be compiled into the GIS database for the project. The area of each land use type within the study area will be estimated. 3.4 DEMOGRAPHICS AND SOCIOECONOMIC PROFILE 2010 U.S. Census data and demographic data from any other sources will be gathered to determine and describe the existing social, economic, and demographic trends for Monroe County and the City of Marathon to the extent that they may be affected by the proposed project. Historical trend data will be presented and summarized to document the existing social, economic, and demographic characteristics of the area. Future economic and demographic projections through the year 2020 will be obtained and summarized. The number of homes and population within the study area will be estimated based on 2010 U.S.Census data. 3.5 CLIMATE, GEOLOGY, TOPOGRAPHY, SOILS, AND NATURAL HAZARDS The descriptions from the 2013 Draft EA will be reviewed and updated if necessary. 3.6 BIOLOGICAL AND NATURAL RESOURCES A Draft Biological Assessment was previously submitted to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. A general description of the biological and natural resources that exist within the study area will be verified, updated, and included in this section of the EA. Coordination with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries Service — Habitat Conservation and Protected Resource Divisions, Florida Department of Environmental Protection and/or South Florida Water Management District, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and other appropriate natural resource agencies will be undertaken to identify any federally or State-listed species, essential fish habitat, or unique natural communities within the study area. The R&A Team will conduct a reconnaissance of all areas that would be affected by the Proposed Action and feasible alternatives. The reconnaissance will include protected species survey and habitat assessment of the uplands and wetlands. The review will be focused on identifying any biological and natural resources that may be affected within the area of potential effect. The biological and natural resources present in the project area will be determined based upon existing published documents such as FWC Bald Eagle Nest Locator, Florida Natural Areas Inventory report, FWC Wading Bird Rookery data, NMFS Areas of Critical Habitat, USFWS Consultation Areas, field reconnaissance, and information gathered from appropriate natural resource agencies. A revised Draft Biological Assessment to document protected species that may affected will be provided as an appendix to the EA. 3.7 WATER RESOURCES AND WETLANDS This task will include a review of previous water resources and wetlands documentation conducted at the Airport or in surrounding areas. Coordination will be conducted as needed with appropriate state and federal resource agencies regarding water resources and wetlands. The R&A Team will conduct a site visit to identify existing water resources in the area and delineate wetlands or waters of the United States that would be affected by the Proposed Action alternatives. Wetlands will be delineated according to the criteria found in F.A.C. 62-340 — "Delineation of the Landward Extent of Wetlands and Surface Waters', and the "1987 USACE Manual" and "Regional Supplement for the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Regions'. Wetlands and surface Proposed Separation Distance Improvements Environmental Assessment Scope of Work Page Page 8 of 18 THE FLORIDA KEYS MARATHON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT MAY 2016 EXHIBIT A - 12/14-68 water boundaries will be delineated and marked utilizing a Trimble GeoXH GPS and a map generated showing the location of wetlands and waters on the site. The Florida Unified Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM) functional assessment methodology will be utilized to evaluate habitat condition and function. A draft Water Resources and Wetlands technical memorandum will be prepared by the R&A Team that documents the findings of the site visit, background research, and scoping letters.The technical memorandum will serve as an appendix to the EA. 3.8 PUBLIC LANDS The R&A Team will identify publicly-owned lands that exist within the study area, especially focusing on those lands that are protected by the Department of Transportation (DOT) Act, also known as Section 4(f) lands. R&A will review the information in the 2013 Draft EA and update if necessary. 3.9 HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL ARCHITECTURAL, AND CULTURAL RESOURCES The R&A Team will prepare a Cultural Resources Assessment Survey for the area of potential effect (APE).The project will comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act(NHPA) of 1966 (Public Law 89- 655, as amended), as implemented by 36 CFR 800 -- Protection of Historic Properties (incorporating amendments effective August 5, 2004); Chapter 267, F.S.; and Part 2, Chapter 12 (Archaeological and Historic Resources) of the FDOT Project Development and Environment Manual. The scope of work and report will meet the requirements of Chapter 1A-46 (Archaeological and Historical Report Standards and Guidelines), Florida Administrative Code as well as the standards embodied in the Florida Division of Historic Resources' (FDHR) Historic Preservation Compliance Review Program and Cultural Resource Management Standards and Operational Manual (2003). Principal Investigators will meet the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualification Standards (48 FR 44716) for archaeology, history, architecture, architectural history, or historic architecture. The purpose of the survey will be to locate, identify, and bound any previously recorded or unrecorded prehistoric or historic period cultural resources associated with this project and to assess the significance in terms of eligibility for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) according to criteria set forth in 36 CFR Section 60.4. Literature Review and Background Research A literature and background search for information pertinent to the project area will be conducted to determine previously recorded resources within the project area as well as the potential for unrecorded resources. This will include a search of the Florida Master Site File (FMSF), County and local site inventories, books and journal articles, and unpublished cultural resource reports. Historic maps and environmental variables known to be associated with prehistoric and historic sites will be reviewed for the purpose of developing a predictive model of archaeological site occurrence. Cultural Resource Assessment Survey Both an archaeological and historic resource survey will be conducted.The archaeological survey will include a pedestrian survey to assess existing conditions and subsurface testing. Subsurface testing in any areas of high Proposed Separatpon Distance Improvements Environmental Assessment Scope of Work Page Page 9 of 18 THE FLORIDA KEYS MARATHON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT MAY 2016 EXHIBIT A - 12/14-68 archaeological site potential will be conducted at approximately 25-m (80 ft) intervals. Testing in any areas having moderate archaeological site potential will be tested at approximately 50-m (160 ft) intervals. Testing in areas of low archaeological site potential will be tested judgmentally at intervals no closer than 100 m (320 ft). Subsurface tests will be 0.5 m (20 in) in diameter and excavated to a minimum depth, subsurface conditions permitting, of one meter (3.3 ft). All excavated soil will be sifted through 6.4 mm (Y in) metal hardware cloth screen suspended from portable wooden frames. Any cultural materials recovered will be stored in plastic bags with all provenience data recorded. Field notes on each test performed will be recorded,and the location of all tests will be clearly marked on aerial photographs of the project area. Any laboratory processing will consist of the cleaning, stabilization (if needed), inventorying, packaging, and temporary storage of the artifacts recovered. Any artifacts found during the survey will be transferred to the Marathon International Airport upon completion of the analysis and report. An FMSF form will be completed for each archaeological site identified during the survey. An architectural historian and at least one technical assistant will conduct an historic resources survey of the APE to ensure that resources that date from 1968 or earlier are identified, mapped, and photographed. For costing purposes, the APE is assumed to include the Marathon International Airport and parcels within the boundaries of the noise contours as indicated in the 2013 Environmental Assessment. However, the APE will be updated for this study based on the noise contours prepared in Task 4.5. Preliminary background research identified 69 historic resources within the assumed APE, including the runway associated with the airport. The Marathon International Airport was originally constructed during World War II as Outlying Field Marathon (OLF) and was associated with the Key West Naval Air Station. A review of aerial maps suggests that the layout of the runway associated with OLF remains as part of the current runway. A preliminary review of the Monroe County property appraiser data suggests the potential for an additional 68 unrecorded historic resources (homes built prior to 1968)within the noise contours APE. FMSF forms will be completed for each historic resource identified within the APE, its location will be marked on an aerial map and a digital photograph will be taken. A log will be kept to record the resource's physical location and compass direction of each photograph. The resources' significance will then be evaluated for its potential eligibility for listing on the National Register. Historic physical integrity will be determined from site observations, field data, and photographic documentation. Historic research and informant interviews with individuals with knowledge of local history and the airport will be conducted to assist in the evaluation of historic resources. RepOit------ A report presenting the methods, findings, evaluations, and recommendations of the CRAS will be prepared and will serve as an appendix to the EA. A final report will be submitted to the FAA, State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), and federally recognized Native American Tribes for review and/or concurrence. A digital version of the report on CD and ten hard copies, including the hard copy and associated material required by the SHPO, will be provided. The R&A Team will prepare draft letters for the federally recognized Tribes with the proposed project illustrated on an aerial map which will be submitted to the Tribes by FAA and conduct any required consultation required under Section 106 of the NHPA. Proposed Separation Distance Improvements - - Environmental Assessment Scope of Work Page Page 10 of 18 THE FLORIDA KEYS MARATHON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT MAY 2016 EXHIBIT A - 12/14-68 3.10 PAST, PRESENT,AND REASONABLY FORESEEABLE FUTURE ACTIONS The R&A Team will identify past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions within the study area, both on and off the airport property, that when combined with the Proposed Action and feasible alternatives may have a cumulative effect on the environment. The R&A Team will propose temporal and spatial boundaries for the cumulative impacts assessment as part of the letter transmitted to appropriate agencies at the beginning of the project (see Task 2.1). The R&A Team will rely on Monroe County staff to assist in development of a list of past, present, and future planned projects at the Airport that should be included in this section of the Affected Environment section. Task 3 Deliverables: • Draft coordination letters to appropriate agencies for biological resources (including wetlands) and historic, archaeological, architectural, and cultural resources • Cultural Resource Assessment Survey • Draft Affected Environment Section • List of past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions • Updated technical appendices Task 4 Environmental Consequences The Environmental Consequences section will be organized in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F Environmental Impacts:Policies and Procedures and 1050.1F Desk Reference. 1050.1F Desk Reference Topic Areas Air Quality Land Use Biological Resources Natural Resources and Energy Supply Climate Noise and Noise-Compatible Land Use Socioeconomics,Environmental Justice,and Children's Coastal Resources Environmental Health and Safety Risks Department of Transportation Act,Section 4(f) Visual Effects Farmlands Water Resources Hazardous Materials,Solid Waste,and Pollution Prevention Cumulative Impacts Historic,Architectural,Archeological,and Cultural Resources Proposed Separation Distance Improvements Environmental Assessment Scope of WorkPage Page 11 of 18 • THE FLORIDA KEYS MARATHON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT MAY 2016 EXHIBIT A - 12/14-68 4.1 REVIEW AND UPDATE 2013 DRAFT EA CATEGORIES The Environmental Consequences section will reflect the environmental consequences of the Sponsors Preferred Alternative and viable alternatives. For budgeting purposes, however, it has been assumed that the following environmental categories will not be reevaluated as part of this effort. It is assumed that the information provided in the 2013 Draft EA remains current and will need minimal update and additional analysis. Air Quality • Department of Transportation Section 4(f) Resources • Farmlands • Hazardous materials, pollution prevention,and solid waste • Natural Resources and Energy Supply • Visual effects 4.2 CLIMATE The EA will include a qualitative evaluation of the potential climate impacts of the No Action and Proposed Action alternatives. 4.3 COASTAL RESOURCES The Coastal Barriers Resources Act (CBRA) prohibits federal financial assistance for development within the Coastal Barrier Resources System that contains undeveloped coastal barriers along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and the Great Lakes. The Coastal Zone Management Act(CZMA) provides procedures for ensuring that Proposed Actions are consistent with approved coastal zone management programs, and Executive Order 13089 requires that federal actions do not degrade the conditions of coral reef ecosystems. The Airport lies within the purview of the Florida Coastal Management Program (FCMP). R&A will determine the impacts of the No Action and Proposed Action alternatives with respect to consistency with the FCMP. Coordination with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection will be required. 4.4 HISTORIC, ARCHITECTURAL, ARCHEOLOGICAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES R&A will assist FAA in National Historic Preservation Act(NHPA) Section 106 coordination with the SHPO and recognized tribes. A Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment Survey will be prepared (see Task 3.9) to support of FAA's finding. Potential impacts to historical, architectural, archaeological, and cultural resources from the Proposed Action or feasible alternatives will be identified and described, in consultation with FAA. The results of the CRAS prepared in Task 3.9 will be utilized to determine whether the Proposed Action would affect existing resources. Additionally, the visual impacts analysis will include a determination of the potential for visual effects to historic properties, as defined by FAA guidance. R&A will provide draft letters to put on FAA letterhead for the SHPO and recognized Tribes, including an exhibit of the Proposed Action Alternative, the Proposed Separation Distance Improvements Environmental Assessment Scope of Work Page Page 12 of 18 THE FLORIDA KEYS MARATHON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT MAY 2015 EXHIBIT A - 12/14-68 APE, and the Cultural Resources Assessment Survey. The environmental consequences section and historic and cultural technical appendix will be updated to include the findings and supporting documentation of the impact analysis and any mitigation measures. 4.5 NOISE AND NOISE-COMPATIBLE LAND USE The main focus for the aircraft noise analysis will be to quantify potential aircraft noise impacts associated with the No Action and Proposed Action alternatives. Since the 2013 Draft EA was prepared, the FAA has introduced the Aviation Environmental Design Tool to replace the Integrated Noise Model. The INM input information from the previous study will be used to the extent possible, including the standard aircraft arrival and departure profiles used as in the previous noise analysis. New AEDT input files will need to be developed. Noise analyses will be conducted to assess projected aircraft noise resulting from implementation of the No Action and Proposed Action alternatives and to identify potential impacts according to FAA guidelines. Airport staff shall provide the land use and the location of the noise sensitive facilities databases, if available, in GIS format for the noise impact analysis. DNL contours of 65 dB, 70 dB,and 75 dB will be prepared for this project for the following scenarios: • 2015 Existing Conditions • 2023 Future No Action • 2023 Future Proposed Action Alternatives • 2028 Future No Action • 2028 Future Proposed Action Alternatives 4.6 SOCIOECONOMICS, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, AND CHILDREN'S ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY RISKS R&A will evaluate the Proposed Action and feasible alternatives to determine potential socioeconomic impacts, including disproportionate impacts to minority and low-income populations, and the potential for environmental health or safety risks that may disproportionately affect children. 4.7 BIOLOGICAL AND NATURAL RESOURCES The R&A Team will evaluate and quantify impacts to biological and natural resources affected by the No Action and Proposed Action alternatives. The nature and extent of anticipated impacts to natural communities, essential fish habitat, and protected species will be assessed. Permits or approvals required from the regulatory agencies will be identified. A revised Draft Biological Assessment will be provided which will serve as an appendix to the EA. This task includes informal consultation with the Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service Protected Species Division in accordance with the Endangered Species Act. The R&A Team will draft agency correspondence to put on FAA's letterhead. Proposed Separation Distance Improvements Environmental Assessment Scope of Work Page Page 13 of 18 THE FLORIDA KEYS MARATHON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT MAY 2016 EXHIBIT A - 12/14-68 4.8 WATER RESOURCES AND WETLANDS The water resources analysis includes wetlands, floodplains, surface waters, groundwater, and wild and scenic rivers. To the extent the data in the 2013 Draft EA is applicable, it will be used. Analysis and updated findings will be based on any updated information identified in Task 3.7. Anticipated impacts of the Proposed Action and No Action alternatives to water resources and wetlands will be identified and quantified. The Florida UMAM functional assessment methodology will be utilized to evaluate functional loss. This task includes informal consultation with the National Marine Fisheries Service Habitat Division. The R&A Team will draft agency correspondence to put on FAA's letterhead. The EA will identify compensatory mitigation and required permits. This scope of work assumes the previously identified mitigation site is still available and acceptable to the agencies. Agency correspondence regarding the proposed mitigation will be included in the EA. 4.9 CUMULATIVE IMPACTS NEPA requires that consideration of the impacts of the proposed alternatives along with impacts from other past, present, or reasonably foreseeable projects within the affected project area need to be considered. This includes other projects occurring at the Airport that have already been approved, and projects taking place within the project area not under the jurisdiction of the Monroe County or FAA that may also impact the resources potentially affected by the alternatives considered. R&A will identify other projects that should be considered, and the timeframe and geographic area to be utilized in the cumulative impacts analysis. A brief discussion of potential cumulative impacts from these projects will be developed. Task 4 Deliverables: • Noise contours • Draft Environmental Consequences Section • Updated technical appendices Task S Mitigation Measures The R&A Team will complete the mitigation measures section to identify any mitigation measures required for implementation of the Proposed Action. Where appropriate, mitigation measures will be defined to mitigate any potentially significant impacts of implementation of the Proposed Action. Measures for minimization of wetlands and protected species impacts will be identified. The Florida UMAM functional assessment methodology will be utilized to assess wetlands mitigation requirements. The previously proposed mitigation plan for the Proposed Action project will be evaluated for compliance with state, federal, and local regulations or recommendations will be provided for revisions to that plan. For budgeting purposes, it is assumed that R&A will be assisting in required consultations with various regulatory agencies. The EA will include acknowledgement of the mitigation measures by the regulatory agencies. Acquisition of associated environmental permits will be completed during the design phase under a separate scope and budget.
