Regionally Significant Environmental Resources • Recent Environmental Consultations • Resources identified • Results of discussion • Upcoming Environmental Consultations • on the 2040 plan
Environmental Consultations • Discussions with state & local agencies • Alternative to allowing environmental impacts that require costly mitigation • Consideration early on of effects of projects, plan, & related development on resources that may require mitigation • Opportunity for improving transportation & guiding development
Categories of Regionally Significant Environmental Resources • State-Conserved Area: State parks, wildlife areas, & preserves • Scenic River (national & state designation) • Regionally Significant Streams (least impaired streams) • Endangered, Threatened, & Rare Species • Wetlands
Review of Transportation Projects • County agencies advocated for projects that • manage stormwater effectively • avoid adverse impacts to streams • maintain or restore stream corridors • maintain tree cover • maintain day-lighted streams • use bridge spans that allow • for wildlife movement and • flooding below
Major concerns are that.. • forested tracts remain • stream corridors be conserved • roadway runoff be diverted from direct entry into streams • streams not yet degraded be protected • the growth of impervious surface be constrained
Early in 2012 Joint state & local sessions Updated information for comparison & discussion Upcoming
One Local Agency’s Comment • “Protection is in the interest of the pocketbook. The cost of replacing or restoring natural resources should make it a no-brainer to see the need to protect them.”
