Section 7 Environmental Effects of the Selected Plan

EAA Storage Reservoirs Revised Draft PIR and EIS February 2006

7-25

The Project complies with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act

of 1966 (PL89-665), as amended in 2000, its implementing regulations (36 Code

of Federal Regulations [C.F.R.] Part 800) and the Archaeological and Historic

Preservation Act of 1974 (PL93-291), as amended.

7.19 HAZARDOUS, TOXIC, AND RADIOACTIVE WASTE

The EAA Storage Reservoir project will involve operation of heavy equipment for

construction of the storage reservoir and associated structures. Heavy

equipment also will be used to increase the depth of selected canals to allow

adequate movement of water between Lake Okeechobee and the proposed

storage reservoir. The sediments of these canals contain pollutants that require

proper handling. Both the equipment and contaminated sediments represent

potential for hazardous and toxic material and waste to be released to soils and

waters of the area.

Operation of heavy equipment requires fuel, lubrication, hydraulic fluid, and

some field maintenance. Fueling stations may have spills associated with filling

field tanks or transferring fuel to equipment. Tanks may also develop leaks

under typical field conditions. Equipment may experience failures and/or

accidents that release fluids.

Though pesticide levels in some canal sediments will require careful handling to

keep the pesticides from dispersing into the ambient environment, it should be

noted that contamination of the environment is not anticipated. Despite the

nature of the dredging operations and the quantity of materials that will be

handled, the implementation of procedures mentioned in Section 8 should prove

adequate in the prevention of non-compliant pesticides exposure.

7.20 TRANSPORTATION, UTILITITES, AND PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE

7.20.1 Effects to Bridges and Intakes:

1. FDOT Bridges

- Two bridges will be affected by the increased conveyance

for the NNR Canal. The two bridges are those for SR-80 and SR-827 that

cross over the NNR Canal. One bridge (US 27) would be affected by the

increased conveyance requirement for the Bolles Canal. Replacement of

the bridges will be done in close coordination with FDOT during the

project design phase, if approved. The bridges would be designed and

constructed in accordance with both FDOT and USACE standards. When

in conflict, the most stringent standard will apply. Construction of the

bridges will be done to maintain traffic at all times by sequencing

demolition and construction one lane at a time with alternating one way

traffic. All safety, signage, flagging, etc. requirements will be included in

the design.
