The EIS will incorporate the results of
a detailed hydrology study evaluating
both locations.
Noise. Construction of the alternatives
would result in a temporary increase in
noise levels at and adjacent to the
alternatives. The EIS will incorporate
the results of a detailed noise study.
The level of review identified for the
EIS will be commensurate with the
anticipated impacts of each resource
from the alternatives and will be
governed by the statutory or regulatory
requirements pertaining to those
resources. The analyses and evaluations
conducted for the EIS will identify the
potential for impacts, whether the
anticipated impacts would be adverse,
and any appropriate environmental
mitigation measures. The resources
identified for detailed impact analysis
in the EIS may be revised in response
to public comments.
Anticipated Permits (and Other
Authorizations)
Federal, State, and local agency
permits, and other authorizations, are
anticipated to be needed for the
proposed action. VA will undertake
necessary consultations with other
government agencies and consulting
parties pursuant to NHPA, Endangered
Species Act, Clean Water Act, and other
applicable environmental laws.
Consultation will include, but will not
be limited to: Federal, State, and local
agencies; the Texas Historical
Commission; and Federally-recognized
Indian tribes with a geographical and/or
cultural connection to the area.
