78 P r j(.c t (.„ Il O urri ion t Scope of O ir.�I� 4®4.7 Park I ands This task will identify all federal, state and city-owned parklands along the corridor and describe any impacts of the proposed alternatives on parklands. The description of parks will use the data gathered during the AA and will identify ownership, the types of recreation, and the park location in relation to the proposed alternatives. Any impacts to parklands, as a result of the project construction or service, will be documented. Where parkland resources are impacted, mitigation measures will be identified. If the project has the potential to use parklands, as defined by Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966, a Section 4(f)Statement would be prepared. Deliverable: DEIS Chapter on Parklands (Draft and Final) 4.4u8 Section 4(f) IIrri oa vemeint The URS team will determine the Section 4(f) applicability of properties affected by the project alternatives including historic and archaeological sites, parks and recreation facilities and other areas, and if they determine that 4(f) resources are impacted, the URS team will evaluate the impacts to the Section 4(f) property. A Determination of Applicability (DOA) will be prepared for these sites for review approval by FTA. For the purposes of defining the scope of services, it is assumed that no 4(f) properties will be identified in the analysis. Deliverable: DEIS Chapter on Section 4(f) Involvement(Draft and Final). Section 4(f) Statement (contingent upon identifying impacts). 4.4n9 Safety and Security The URS team will provide an assessment of the potential impacts of the proposed project on the safety and security of the human environment, in support of the preparation of the DEIS. The task will describe the existing safety and security conditions at the proposed LRT station sites, identify any potential areas of concern for residents and transit patrons, and describe the proposed station area personal safety and security measures and pedestrian safety design techniques in and around the stations. Deliverable: DEIS Chapter on Safety and Security(Draft and Final). 4.4,10 Anallysis of Natura9 Resources This task will describe the environmental analyses necessary to conduct the preliminary evaluation of project alternatives. Physical Resources The Physical Resources section will be based on GIS data. The project study area physiographic region and topography will be described. Soil information will be based on SSURGO, and Prime Farmlands will be based on the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) soil surveys for Orange and Durham Counties. The project study area US Geological Survey (USGS) 8- digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) and NCDWQ sub-basin will be identified.
