75 <br /> Triiingle Regional Project [)e v e III I rn e n t Scope of Work <br /> The DEIS will assess project benefits and impacts on study area neighborhoods and communities, with <br /> specific attention paid to minority, low-income, and limited-English proficient populations, such as those <br /> already identified in the east Durham section of the project, as well as affordable housing. <br /> The URS team will complete the identification and analysis of potential impacts on Environmental <br /> Justice populations in accordance with Executive Order No. 12898 entitled Federal Actions to Address <br /> Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations. Using the data gathered <br /> during the AA and supplemented in the DEIS phase of the project and the public outreach efforts, <br /> potential disproportionate impacts on low-income and minority populations will be identified. The <br /> approach will be to quantify impacts wherever possible and to identify the types of individual groups <br /> most likely to be affected. <br /> Deliverables: <br /> Neighborhoods and Environmental Justice Technical Memorandum (Draft and Final) <br /> DEIS Section on Neighborhoods and Environmental Justice (Draft and Final). <br /> 4.4.4 Dislpiacemeints and ROocations <br /> The URS Team will assess the potential displacements and relocations of residents and businesses and <br /> will calculate the lands to be acquired for the proposed project. Initial assessment will be conducted <br /> from a review of the project design mapping. The displacements and relocations will be mapped and <br /> quantified. The acreage of land to be acquired will be quantified by land use type. Field reviews of each <br /> parcel, business and residence will be conducted. Where possible, minority and low income residents <br /> and minority-owned businesses will be identified and reported to URS team members conducting the <br /> Environmental Justice analysis. <br /> Deliverable: <br /> N DEIS Section on Displacements and Relocations(Draft and Final) <br /> 4 .5 Vlisuai and Aesthetics <br /> The URS Team will assess the potential visual and aesthetic impacts of all proposed alternatives. Visually <br /> sensitive areas along the proposed alternative relative to the LRT line, LRT stations, and park-and-ride <br /> facilities will be identified. Impacts will be assessed from two points of view: that of the facility user, and <br /> the view of the facility. It is anticipated that approximately 10 visualizations will be prepared and <br /> included in the visual impact assessment. <br /> Deliverable: <br /> DEIS Chapter on Visual and Aesthetics (Draft and Final). <br /> 4�.4.6 Cultural, i,,,M'istoric, and Aircheoiogicai <br /> The URS Team will conduct studies to identify cultural resources that are listed in, or eligible for listing <br /> in, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), and to identify the effects to such resources, <br /> pursuant to 36CFR800. These studies will be phased in coordination with the NEPA corridor assessment <br /> process. Separate scoping sections for archaeology and architectural history are provided below. <br /> E)t.Arhatn-Orange Ught: Haul Torainsit Project � June 2013 � -10 DRAFT <br />
