PHASE 5A - SCOPE OF WORK was hosted on April 18 to gather comments for preparation of the DARPA. These meetings resulted in an additional wetlands survey and a revised Wetland Delineation Report. Jacobs began preparation of the internal draft JARPA under the previous task amendment. Extensive changes to the site plan precluded completion of the draft JARPA at that time. The site plan was revised to eliminate wetland disturbance, reduce wetland buffer impacts, and retain floodplain function. Jacobs will complete the following: • Prepare the draft JARPA based on the revised sited plan which includes impacts to approximately 0.3 acre of wetland buffer. Jacobs will prepare the application form, vicinity map, profile/elevation map, plan view map, and appropriate site layout drawings showing mitigation/enhancement features and impacted resources. • Email update to USACE to discuss the impacts to wetland buffers and proposed wetland enhancement plan. • Impacts to the wetland buffer will be permitted according to the City of Ellensburg Critical Areas Ordinance. • The project will result in permanent impacts to waters of the U.S. (ditches D1, D2, D4, and D12). It is anticipated that these impacts will be permitted through Section 404 Nationwide Permit (NWP) Permit. • A draft and final Compensatory Mitigation/Enhancement Plan and a draft and final Floodplain Mitigation Plan as a part of the JARPA application package. • Submit the JARPA to the USACE, the City of Ellensburg, and Ecology. • Coordinate the Section 401 Water Quality Certification with the Washington Department of Ecology. Deliverables: • Draft and Final JARPA • Section 404 Wetlands Permit (NWP) from the USACE • Floodplain Development approval from the City of Ellensburg • Draft and Final Floodplain and Wetlands Mitigation Plans • Section 401 Water Quality Certification Task 5: Traffic Impact Analysis Jacobs prepared a traffic impact analysis (TIA) and technical memorandum which was submitted to the City of Ellensburg on September 11, 2019. The original scope was expanded to include the addition of the Minor Collector, the Maintenance Facility, and different entrance configurations. Work accomplished outside the original scope include revisions to and correspondence associated with the first TIA, and correspondence with the City of Ellensburg and WSDOT regarding the limited access classification of US 97. Additional budget is required to respond to City comments received October 2, 2019. The City has requested that different turning movement counts be utilized for the intersection of N Railroad Avenue & W 5th Avenue. The traffic impact analysis will be updated to reflect the new counts. Assumptions • The TIA will be accepted as submitted. Deliverables 0 Revised TIA
