ARKANSAS RIVER CORRIDOR PROJECT SUPPLELENTAJ STUDIES AND EIS SUPPORT
SCOPE OF SERVICES
SCOPE OF SERVICES The SERVICES to be performed by CH2M HILL Inc (CH2M HILL) under this AGREEMENT will consist of preparing a 404 permit application and supplemental supporting studies for the Arkansas River Corridor Project The permit and studies are in anticipation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that will be prepared by a 3rd-party contractor selected by Tulsa District US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Further it is understood and agreed that the date of beginning rate of progress and the time of completion of the work to be done hereunder are essential provisions of this AGREEMENT and it is further understood and agreed that the work embraced in this AGREEMENT shall commence upon execution of this AGREEMENT and after receipt of a Notice to Proceed
BACKGROUND
This scope of work is based upon our understanding of the project goals and through discussions with Tulsa Countys representative PMg and other project stakeholders The goals of the overall Arkansas River Corridor Project as it was initially envisioned include the addition of two new low-head dam structures and the enhancement and restoration of several key development sites within a 42-mile project reach Much progress towards these goals has occurred through the Vision and Master Planning efforts Environmental Baseline studies the site-specific Zink Dam Lake Area Improvements Project Environmental Assessment and preliminary design To assist project stakeholders an Arkansas River Corridor Preliminary Project Management Plan (PPMP) was finalized in February of 2010 It provided an Investigation and Feasibility Study for Ecosystem Restoration for the envisioned projects Based on initial interest in the Arkansas River Corridor Projects the City of Bixby indicated interest in participating in the Corridor Project and in pursuing a third low-head dam this low-head dam location was identified in the Vision and Master Plans but was not studied specifically in subsequent phases until added as Supplemental Studies under the previous authorization This will develop the same bas~line project information and conceptual engineering as the other project components so it can be incorporated into this EIS with the balance of the corridor
OVERVIEW
Tulsa County and the USACE have been collaborating on the potential funding and implementation of the Arkansas River Corridor Projects The program was authorized under the Water Resource Development Act of 2007 (WRDA2007) but only $90000 in funding has been appropriated for the 42-miles of river improvements with limited prospects for additional funding in the near future In February of 2012 Major General Michael Walsh Deputy Commanding General for Civil and Emergency Operations (DCG-CEO) signed a significant memorandum affecting execution of the USACE CW Feasibility Study Program The memo sets forth requirements for reclassification and reset of ongoing feasibility studies and conduct of feasibility studies that have not reached the feasibility scoping meeting milestone by 31 December 2011

ARKANSAS RIVER CORRIDOR PROJECT SUPPLEPJENTAL STUDIES AND EI8 SUPPORT
The Arkansas River Corridor Project participated in a re-scoping charette in October of 2013 to introduce the USACEs SMART planning and decision focus concepts to determine the federal interest and to enable the Project Team (Tulsa County represented by PMg and CH2M HILL) to develop a revised PMP to complete studies that will conform to 3x3x3 rule
To facilitate the timely use of the information collected to date under previous and current efforts as well as to build on the local momentum surrounding the Corridor the County decided to move forward with a regulatory approach as it awaits the USACEs decision of whether it will proceed with a IIplanning study approach for Sand Springs the only Project found to be in the federal interest The regulatory approach will be triggered by the 404 permit developed under Task 9 of this authorization with the USACE Tulsa District being the lead federal agency with statutory authority under Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 Section 10 and Clean Water Act Section 404 Initial discussions with the Planning Division have indicated that the USACE is willing to participate in the EIS process but some form of nonshyfederal funding will be needed an appropriate agreement reached between the County and the Tulsa District and ultimately a 3rd party contractor selected by the USACE to prepare the EIS and facilitate the public scoping process with the support of Project Team
APPROACH
The following tasks are proposed to prepare the 404 permit complete the Supplemental Studies and support the development of the EIS (1) USACE Coordination (2) Scoping and Consultation (3) Data Collection and Review (4) Supplemental Studies (5) Support of the EIS (6) Final EIS (7) Public Notice and Administrative Record (8) Project Management and (9) Section 404 Permitting Support
The attached project schedule describes the overall EIS timeline Issues or delays could arise that would alter the anticipated schedule Meeting the schedule on a project of this magnitude will require clear and timely communication between all parties including during reviews and decision making on some possibly difficult choices Meeting and even accelerating schedule milestones will be of utmost importance to satisfy citizen expectations and to minimize continual impacts on the overall project budget resulting from ongoing construction cost escalation

ARKANSAS RIVER CORRIDOR PROJECT SUPPLEfJENTAL STUDIES AND EIS SUPPORT
Task 4 Sup~lemental Studies While much analysis has been completed to advance implementation of the project additional work elements are required to ensure compliance with local state and federal regulations and to assess potential impacts see Attachment B The following initial supplemental Technical Studies are recommended for completion by the project team for use in the EIS It is anticipated that additional supplemental studies will be identified by stakeholders and or agency representatives as a result of the scoping and consultation activities described in Task 1 The scope and level of effort of these additional studies will be determined at that time
41 Bixby Project Information Development
During the development of the PMP and related previous studies a number of preliminary evaluations were completed on the proposed alternatives for the Sand Springs and Jenks low-head dams and the modifications to the existing Zink Dam and lake The preliminary design and permitting for the Zink Dam and lake improvements are proceeding independently of the EIS The City of Bixby has proposed to include a third new low-head dam as part of the Arkansas River Corridor projects program as presented in the Arkansas River Corridor Master Plan Because this project was not included in the previous technical studies additional engineering and associated evaluations will need to be completed to bring the Bixby project up to the same level of development as the Sand Springs and South TulsaJenks projects Specific tasks include alternatives development environmental constraints analysis and hydrologic modeling
Alternatives Development - Potential project alternatives will be identified in meetings with Bixby staff and the consultant team including CH2M HILL LandPlan Meshek and Associates and PMg An initial meeting will be held to review the City of Bixbys primary ideas and interests and then the project team will develop some conceptual drawings for review with the City staff during a second meeting The conceptual drawings will identify location potential height and general configuration (number of gates) of dam and any associated project elements Initial drawings will be architectural images on an aerial photo or map background Based on feedback from the city staff the project team will proceed with the required level of conceptual engineering (Task 42)
Environmental Constraints Analysis - Based on the initial concepts for the Bixby project an evaluation of potential impacts on natural resources and protected species will be completed This task will identify key issues that will need to be addressed as part of the EIS Potential issues associated with biological resources wetlands protected species cultural resources water quality and quantity floodplains transportation socioeconomics and utilities and infrastructure will be included in this evaluation A limited (1 day) reconnaissance site visit will be completed as part of this analysis
Hydrologic Analysis - One of the primary issues will be the potential for impacts on the current floodplain and floodway in the vicinity of the proposed Bixby project Therefore the existing HEC-RAS model will need to be modified to include this reach of the Arkansas

River and the proposed dam Additionally a limited field survey of stormwater outfalls will be performed to ensure that the hydrologic analysis is consistent with the previous hydrologic studies being used as the basis for Task 45 In collaboration with Meshek and Associations CH2M HILL will update the HEC RAS model and evaluate the potential for changes in the current 100 year floodplain elevations based on the initial dam design and associated project elements (gate configurations)
Update the Preliminary Project Management Plan - The results of the original evaluation of the Arkansas River Corridor Projects and the proposed project elements was summarized in a Preliminary Project Management Plan (PPMP) in 2010 This document serves as the background documentation for development and implementation of the proposed projects in collaboration with the US Army Corps of Engineers Although there is no immediate Federal funding available for this program the project proponents (Tulsa County Sand Springs South TulsaJenks and Bixby) plan to continue to pursue potential Federal support Therefore the original PPMP will need to be updated to include the information for the Bixby Project Results of the previous sub tasks will be used to update the document prepared in 2010
Assumptions
bull CH2M HILL will conduct two workshops with City of Bixby staff to outline project elements and alternatives
bull Existing HEC RAS modeling data for the Arkansas River can be readily modified for the Bixby area
bull Field surveys of stormwater outfalls in the Bixby area are not readily available and will require up to 40 hours of field work to inventory for the hydrologic analysiS
bull No wetland delineations will be completed as part of the recoIUlaissance field visit
Deliverables bull Preliminary drawings of the potential dam and associated project elements on aerial
photo or map based background Two rounds of drafts will be prepared for review and comment working with LandPlan
bull A brief Field Trip TM documenting the results of a 1 day reconnaissance field trip to observe current conditions
bull A draft and final technical memorandum summarizing the Bixby alternatives analysis and environmental constraints analysis
bull A draft and final technical memorandum on the hydrologic modeling evaluation working with Meshek amp Associates

43 Interior Least Tern Biological Assessment Study USFWS (1985) lists the interior population of the least tern (interior least tern) as federally endangered The interior least tern breeds on alluvial islands and sandbars in the Arkansas River Corridor project area and other rivers in central North America Based on consultation to date USFWS will likely determine that the Arkansas River Corridor Project may adversely affect the federally endangered interior least tern This determination will require formal consultation with USFWS under Section 7 of the ESA Formal consultation requires the preparation of a Biological Assessment and USFWS issuance of a Biological Opinion under a pre-determined timeline that would directly affect project schedule and could result in additional Reasonable and Prudent Measures (RPMs) for implementation in the river This subtask supports the development of a Biological Assessment of the Interior Least Tern for use in formal consultation
Assumptions
bull A Biological Assessment will be required only for the interior least tern The USFWS will find that the proposed project would be unlikely to adversely affect any other federally listed species including the American burying beetle piping plover and whooping crane therefore will not require formal consultation for any other species No field survey efforts are anticipated for this analysis and are not included in this subtask
bull Agency Consultation letters are covered under Subtask 22 Agency Consultation

SCOPE OF SERVICES
SCOPE OF SERVICES The SERVICES to be performed by CH2M HILL Inc (CH2M HILL) under this AGREEMENT will consist of preparing a 404 permit application and supplemental supporting studies for the Arkansas River Corridor Project The permit and studies are in anticipation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that will be prepared by a 3rd-party contractor selected by Tulsa District US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Further it is understood and agreed that the date of beginning rate of progress and the time of completion of the work to be done hereunder are essential provisions of this AGREEMENT and it is further understood and agreed that the work embraced in this AGREEMENT shall commence upon execution of this AGREEMENT and after receipt of a Notice to Proceed
BACKGROUND
This scope of work is based upon our understanding of the project goals and through discussions with Tulsa Countys representative PMg and other project stakeholders The goals of the overall Arkansas River Corridor Project as it was initially envisioned include the addition of two new low-head dam structures and the enhancement and restoration of several key development sites within a 42-mile project reach Much progress towards these goals has occurred through the Vision and Master Planning efforts Environmental Baseline studies the site-specific Zink Dam Lake Area Improvements Project Environmental Assessment and preliminary design To assist project stakeholders an Arkansas River Corridor Preliminary Project Management Plan (PPMP) was finalized in February of 2010 It provided an Investigation and Feasibility Study for Ecosystem Restoration for the envisioned projects Based on initial interest in the Arkansas River Corridor Projects the City of Bixby indicated interest in participating in the Corridor Project and in pursuing a third low-head dam this low-head dam location was identified in the Vision and Master Plans but was not studied specifically in subsequent phases until added as Supplemental Studies under the previous authorization This will develop the same bas~line project information and conceptual engineering as the other project components so it can be incorporated into this EIS with the balance of the corridor
OVERVIEW
Tulsa County and the USACE have been collaborating on the potential funding and implementation of the Arkansas River Corridor Projects The program was authorized under the Water Resource Development Act of 2007 (WRDA2007) but only $90000 in funding has been appropriated for the 42-miles of river improvements with limited prospects for additional funding in the near future In February of 2012 Major General Michael Walsh Deputy Commanding General for Civil and Emergency Operations (DCG-CEO) signed a significant memorandum affecting execution of the USACE CW Feasibility Study Program The memo sets forth requirements for reclassification and reset of ongoing feasibility studies and conduct of feasibility studies that have not reached the feasibility scoping meeting milestone by 31 December 2011

ARKANSAS RIVER CORRIDOR PROJECT SUPPLEPJENTAL STUDIES AND EI8 SUPPORT
The Arkansas River Corridor Project participated in a re-scoping charette in October of 2013 to introduce the USACEs SMART planning and decision focus concepts to determine the federal interest and to enable the Project Team (Tulsa County represented by PMg and CH2M HILL) to develop a revised PMP to complete studies that will conform to 3x3x3 rule
To facilitate the timely use of the information collected to date under previous and current efforts as well as to build on the local momentum surrounding the Corridor the County decided to move forward with a regulatory approach as it awaits the USACEs decision of whether it will proceed with a IIplanning study approach for Sand Springs the only Project found to be in the federal interest The regulatory approach will be triggered by the 404 permit developed under Task 9 of this authorization with the USACE Tulsa District being the lead federal agency with statutory authority under Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 Section 10 and Clean Water Act Section 404 Initial discussions with the Planning Division have indicated that the USACE is willing to participate in the EIS process but some form of nonshyfederal funding will be needed an appropriate agreement reached between the County and the Tulsa District and ultimately a 3rd party contractor selected by the USACE to prepare the EIS and facilitate the public scoping process with the support of Project Team
APPROACH
The following tasks are proposed to prepare the 404 permit complete the Supplemental Studies and support the development of the EIS (1) USACE Coordination (2) Scoping and Consultation (3) Data Collection and Review (4) Supplemental Studies (5) Support of the EIS (6) Final EIS (7) Public Notice and Administrative Record (8) Project Management and (9) Section 404 Permitting Support
The attached project schedule describes the overall EIS timeline Issues or delays could arise that would alter the anticipated schedule Meeting the schedule on a project of this magnitude will require clear and timely communication between all parties including during reviews and decision making on some possibly difficult choices Meeting and even accelerating schedule milestones will be of utmost importance to satisfy citizen expectations and to minimize continual impacts on the overall project budget resulting from ongoing construction cost escalation

ARKANSAS RIVER CORRIDOR PROJECT SUPPLEfJENTAL STUDIES AND EIS SUPPORT
Task 4 Sup~lemental Studies While much analysis has been completed to advance implementation of the project additional work elements are required to ensure compliance with local state and federal regulations and to assess potential impacts see Attachment B The following initial supplemental Technical Studies are recommended for completion by the project team for use in the EIS It is anticipated that additional supplemental studies will be identified by stakeholders and or agency representatives as a result of the scoping and consultation activities described in Task 1 The scope and level of effort of these additional studies will be determined at that time
41 Bixby Project Information Development
During the development of the PMP and related previous studies a number of preliminary evaluations were completed on the proposed alternatives for the Sand Springs and Jenks low-head dams and the modifications to the existing Zink Dam and lake The preliminary design and permitting for the Zink Dam and lake improvements are proceeding independently of the EIS The City of Bixby has proposed to include a third new low-head dam as part of the Arkansas River Corridor projects program as presented in the Arkansas River Corridor Master Plan Because this project was not included in the previous technical studies additional engineering and associated evaluations will need to be completed to bring the Bixby project up to the same level of development as the Sand Springs and South TulsaJenks projects Specific tasks include alternatives development environmental constraints analysis and hydrologic modeling
Alternatives Development - Potential project alternatives will be identified in meetings with Bixby staff and the consultant team including CH2M HILL LandPlan Meshek and Associates and PMg An initial meeting will be held to review the City of Bixbys primary ideas and interests and then the project team will develop some conceptual drawings for review with the City staff during a second meeting The conceptual drawings will identify location potential height and general configuration (number of gates) of dam and any associated project elements Initial drawings will be architectural images on an aerial photo or map background Based on feedback from the city staff the project team will proceed with the required level of conceptual engineering (Task 42)
Environmental Constraints Analysis - Based on the initial concepts for the Bixby project an evaluation of potential impacts on natural resources and protected species will be completed This task will identify key issues that will need to be addressed as part of the EIS Potential issues associated with biological resources wetlands protected species cultural resources water quality and quantity floodplains transportation socioeconomics and utilities and infrastructure will be included in this evaluation A limited (1 day) reconnaissance site visit will be completed as part of this analysis
Hydrologic Analysis - One of the primary issues will be the potential for impacts on the current floodplain and floodway in the vicinity of the proposed Bixby project Therefore the existing HEC-RAS model will need to be modified to include this reach of the Arkansas

SCOPE OF SERVICES
SCOPE OF SERVICES The SERVICES to be performed by CH2M HILL Inc (CH2M HILL) under this AGREEMENT will consist of preparing a 404 permit application and supplemental supporting studies for the Arkansas River Corridor Project The permit and studies are in anticipation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that will be prepared by a 3rd-party contractor selected by Tulsa District US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Further it is understood and agreed that the date of beginning rate of progress and the time of completion of the work to be done hereunder are essential provisions of this AGREEMENT and it is further understood and agreed that the work embraced in this AGREEMENT shall commence upon execution of this AGREEMENT and after receipt of a Notice to Proceed
BACKGROUND
This scope of work is based upon our understanding of the project goals and through discussions with Tulsa Countys representative PMg and other project stakeholders The goals of the overall Arkansas River Corridor Project as it was initially envisioned include the addition of two new low-head dam structures and the enhancement and restoration of several key development sites within a 42-mile project reach Much progress towards these goals has occurred through the Vision and Master Planning efforts Environmental Baseline studies the site-specific Zink Dam Lake Area Improvements Project Environmental Assessment and preliminary design To assist project stakeholders an Arkansas River Corridor Preliminary Project Management Plan (PPMP) was finalized in February of 2010 It provided an Investigation and Feasibility Study for Ecosystem Restoration for the envisioned projects Based on initial interest in the Arkansas River Corridor Projects the City of Bixby indicated interest in participating in the Corridor Project and in pursuing a third low-head dam this low-head dam location was identified in the Vision and Master Plans but was not studied specifically in subsequent phases until added as Supplemental Studies under the previous authorization This will develop the same bas~line project information and conceptual engineering as the other project components so it can be incorporated into this EIS with the balance of the corridor
OVERVIEW
Tulsa County and the USACE have been collaborating on the potential funding and implementation of the Arkansas River Corridor Projects The program was authorized under the Water Resource Development Act of 2007 (WRDA2007) but only $90000 in funding has been appropriated for the 42-miles of river improvements with limited prospects for additional funding in the near future In February of 2012 Major General Michael Walsh Deputy Commanding General for Civil and Emergency Operations (DCG-CEO) signed a significant memorandum affecting execution of the USACE CW Feasibility Study Program The memo sets forth requirements for reclassification and reset of ongoing feasibility studies and conduct of feasibility studies that have not reached the feasibility scoping meeting milestone by 31 December 2011

ARKANSAS RIVER CORRIDOR PROJECT SUPPLEPJENTAL STUDIES AND EI8 SUPPORT
The Arkansas River Corridor Project participated in a re-scoping charette in October of 2013 to introduce the USACEs SMART planning and decision focus concepts to determine the federal interest and to enable the Project Team (Tulsa County represented by PMg and CH2M HILL) to develop a revised PMP to complete studies that will conform to 3x3x3 rule
To facilitate the timely use of the information collected to date under previous and current efforts as well as to build on the local momentum surrounding the Corridor the County decided to move forward with a regulatory approach as it awaits the USACEs decision of whether it will proceed with a IIplanning study approach for Sand Springs the only Project found to be in the federal interest The regulatory approach will be triggered by the 404 permit developed under Task 9 of this authorization with the USACE Tulsa District being the lead federal agency with statutory authority under Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 Section 10 and Clean Water Act Section 404 Initial discussions with the Planning Division have indicated that the USACE is willing to participate in the EIS process but some form of nonshyfederal funding will be needed an appropriate agreement reached between the County and the Tulsa District and ultimately a 3rd party contractor selected by the USACE to prepare the EIS and facilitate the public scoping process with the support of Project Team
APPROACH
The following tasks are proposed to prepare the 404 permit complete the Supplemental Studies and support the development of the EIS (1) USACE Coordination (2) Scoping and Consultation (3) Data Collection and Review (4) Supplemental Studies (5) Support of the EIS (6) Final EIS (7) Public Notice and Administrative Record (8) Project Management and (9) Section 404 Permitting Support
The attached project schedule describes the overall EIS timeline Issues or delays could arise that would alter the anticipated schedule Meeting the schedule on a project of this magnitude will require clear and timely communication between all parties including during reviews and decision making on some possibly difficult choices Meeting and even accelerating schedule milestones will be of utmost importance to satisfy citizen expectations and to minimize continual impacts on the overall project budget resulting from ongoing construction cost escalation
The Projects detailed Scope of Services is included on the following pages

Task 4 Sup~lemental Studies While much analysis has been completed to advance implementation of the project additional work elements are required to ensure compliance with local state and federal regulations and to assess potential impacts see Attachment B The following initial supplemental Technical Studies are recommended for completion by the project team for use in the EIS It is anticipated that additional supplemental studies will be identified by stakeholders and or agency representatives as a result of the scoping and consultation activities described in Task 1 The scope and level of effort of these additional studies will be determined at that time
41 Bixby Project Information Development
During the development of the PMP and related previous studies a number of preliminary evaluations were completed on the proposed alternatives for the Sand Springs and Jenks low-head dams and the modifications to the existing Zink Dam and lake The preliminary design and permitting for the Zink Dam and lake improvements are proceeding independently of the EIS The City of Bixby has proposed to include a third new low-head dam as part of the Arkansas River Corridor projects program as presented in the Arkansas River Corridor Master Plan Because this project was not included in the previous technical studies additional engineering and associated evaluations will need to be completed to bring the Bixby project up to the same level of development as the Sand Springs and South TulsaJenks projects Specific tasks include alternatives development environmental constraints analysis and hydrologic modeling
Alternatives Development - Potential project alternatives will be identified in meetings with Bixby staff and the consultant team including CH2M HILL LandPlan Meshek and Associates and PMg An initial meeting will be held to review the City of Bixbys primary ideas and interests and then the project team will develop some conceptual drawings for review with the City staff during a second meeting The conceptual drawings will identify location potential height and general configuration (number of gates) of dam and any associated project elements Initial drawings will be architectural images on an aerial photo or map background Based on feedback from the city staff the project team will proceed with the required level of conceptual engineering (Task 42)
Environmental Constraints Analysis - Based on the initial concepts for the Bixby project an evaluation of potential impacts on natural resources and protected species will be completed This task will identify key issues that will need to be addressed as part of the EIS Potential issues associated with biological resources wetlands protected species cultural resources water quality and quantity floodplains transportation socioeconomics and utilities and infrastructure will be included in this evaluation A limited (1 day) reconnaissance site visit will be completed as part of this analysis
Hydrologic Analysis - One of the primary issues will be the potential for impacts on the current floodplain and floodway in the vicinity of the proposed Bixby project Therefore the existing HEC-RAS model will need to be modified to include this reach of the Arkansas

River and the proposed dam Additionally a limited field survey of stormwater outfalls will be performed to ensure that the hydrologic analysis is consistent with the previous hydrologic studies being used as the basis for Task 45 In collaboration with Meshek and Associations CH2M HILL will update the HEC RAS model and evaluate the potential for changes in the current 100 year floodplain elevations based on the initial dam design and associated project elements (gate configurations)
Update the Preliminary Project Management Plan - The results of the original evaluation of the Arkansas River Corridor Projects and the proposed project elements was summarized in a Preliminary Project Management Plan (PPMP) in 2010 This document serves as the background documentation for development and implementation of the proposed projects in collaboration with the US Army Corps of Engineers Although there is no immediate Federal funding available for this program the project proponents (Tulsa County Sand Springs South TulsaJenks and Bixby) plan to continue to pursue potential Federal support Therefore the original PPMP will need to be updated to include the information for the Bixby Project Results of the previous sub tasks will be used to update the document prepared in 2010
Assumptions
bull CH2M HILL will conduct two workshops with City of Bixby staff to outline project elements and alternatives
bull Existing HEC RAS modeling data for the Arkansas River can be readily modified for the Bixby area
bull Field surveys of stormwater outfalls in the Bixby area are not readily available and will require up to 40 hours of field work to inventory for the hydrologic analysiS
bull No wetland delineations will be completed as part of the recoIUlaissance field visit
Deliverables bull Preliminary drawings of the potential dam and associated project elements on aerial
photo or map based background Two rounds of drafts will be prepared for review and comment working with LandPlan

43 Interior Least Tern Biological Assessment Study USFWS (1985) lists the interior population of the least tern (interior least tern) as federally endangered The interior least tern breeds on alluvial islands and sandbars in the Arkansas River Corridor project area and other rivers in central North America Based on consultation to date USFWS will likely determine that the Arkansas River Corridor Project may adversely affect the federally endangered interior least tern This determination will require formal consultation with USFWS under Section 7 of the ESA Formal consultation requires the preparation of a Biological Assessment and USFWS issuance of a Biological Opinion under a pre-determined timeline that would directly affect project schedule and could result in additional Reasonable and Prudent Measures (RPMs) for implementation in the river This subtask supports the development of a Biological Assessment of the Interior Least Tern for use in formal consultation
Assumptions
bull A Biological Assessment will be required only for the interior least tern The USFWS will find that the proposed project would be unlikely to adversely affect any other federally listed species including the American burying beetle piping plover and whooping crane therefore will not require formal consultation for any other species No field survey efforts are anticipated for this analysis and are not included in this subtask
bull Agency Consultation letters are covered under Subtask 22 Agency Consultation

ARKANSAS RIVER CORRIDOR PROJECT SUPPLEPJENTAL STUDIES AND EI8 SUPPORT
The Arkansas River Corridor Project participated in a re-scoping charette in October of 2013 to introduce the USACEs SMART planning and decision focus concepts to determine the federal interest and to enable the Project Team (Tulsa County represented by PMg and CH2M HILL) to develop a revised PMP to complete studies that will conform to 3x3x3 rule
To facilitate the timely use of the information collected to date under previous and current efforts as well as to build on the local momentum surrounding the Corridor the County decided to move forward with a regulatory approach as it awaits the USACEs decision of whether it will proceed with a IIplanning study approach for Sand Springs the only Project found to be in the federal interest The regulatory approach will be triggered by the 404 permit developed under Task 9 of this authorization with the USACE Tulsa District being the lead federal agency with statutory authority under Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 Section 10 and Clean Water Act Section 404 Initial discussions with the Planning Division have indicated that the USACE is willing to participate in the EIS process but some form of nonshyfederal funding will be needed an appropriate agreement reached between the County and the Tulsa District and ultimately a 3rd party contractor selected by the USACE to prepare the EIS and facilitate the public scoping process with the support of Project Team
APPROACH
The following tasks are proposed to prepare the 404 permit complete the Supplemental Studies and support the development of the EIS (1) USACE Coordination (2) Scoping and Consultation (3) Data Collection and Review (4) Supplemental Studies (5) Support of the EIS (6) Final EIS (7) Public Notice and Administrative Record (8) Project Management and (9) Section 404 Permitting Support
The attached project schedule describes the overall EIS timeline Issues or delays could arise that would alter the anticipated schedule Meeting the schedule on a project of this magnitude will require clear and timely communication between all parties including during reviews and decision making on some possibly difficult choices Meeting and even accelerating schedule milestones will be of utmost importance to satisfy citizen expectations and to minimize continual impacts on the overall project budget resulting from ongoing construction cost escalation
The Projects detailed Scope of Services is included on the following pages

ARKANSAS RIVER CORRIDOR PROJECT SUPPLEfJENTAL STUDIES AND EIS SUPPORT
Task 4 Sup~lemental Studies While much analysis has been completed to advance implementation of the project additional work elements are required to ensure compliance with local state and federal regulations and to assess potential impacts see Attachment B The following initial supplemental Technical Studies are recommended for completion by the project team for use in the EIS It is anticipated that additional supplemental studies will be identified by stakeholders and or agency representatives as a result of the scoping and consultation activities described in Task 1 The scope and level of effort of these additional studies will be determined at that time
41 Bixby Project Information Development
During the development of the PMP and related previous studies a number of preliminary evaluations were completed on the proposed alternatives for the Sand Springs and Jenks low-head dams and the modifications to the existing Zink Dam and lake The preliminary design and permitting for the Zink Dam and lake improvements are proceeding independently of the EIS The City of Bixby has proposed to include a third new low-head dam as part of the Arkansas River Corridor projects program as presented in the Arkansas River Corridor Master Plan Because this project was not included in the previous technical studies additional engineering and associated evaluations will need to be completed to bring the Bixby project up to the same level of development as the Sand Springs and South TulsaJenks projects Specific tasks include alternatives development environmental constraints analysis and hydrologic modeling
Alternatives Development - Potential project alternatives will be identified in meetings with Bixby staff and the consultant team including CH2M HILL LandPlan Meshek and Associates and PMg An initial meeting will be held to review the City of Bixbys primary ideas and interests and then the project team will develop some conceptual drawings for review with the City staff during a second meeting The conceptual drawings will identify location potential height and general configuration (number of gates) of dam and any associated project elements Initial drawings will be architectural images on an aerial photo or map background Based on feedback from the city staff the project team will proceed with the required level of conceptual engineering (Task 42)
Environmental Constraints Analysis - Based on the initial concepts for the Bixby project an evaluation of potential impacts on natural resources and protected species will be completed This task will identify key issues that will need to be addressed as part of the EIS Potential issues associated with biological resources wetlands protected species cultural resources water quality and quantity floodplains transportation socioeconomics and utilities and infrastructure will be included in this evaluation A limited (1 day) reconnaissance site visit will be completed as part of this analysis
Hydrologic Analysis - One of the primary issues will be the potential for impacts on the current floodplain and floodway in the vicinity of the proposed Bixby project Therefore the existing HEC-RAS model will need to be modified to include this reach of the Arkansas

River and the proposed dam Additionally a limited field survey of stormwater outfalls will be performed to ensure that the hydrologic analysis is consistent with the previous hydrologic studies being used as the basis for Task 45 In collaboration with Meshek and Associations CH2M HILL will update the HEC RAS model and evaluate the potential for changes in the current 100 year floodplain elevations based on the initial dam design and associated project elements (gate configurations)
Update the Preliminary Project Management Plan - The results of the original evaluation of the Arkansas River Corridor Projects and the proposed project elements was summarized in a Preliminary Project Management Plan (PPMP) in 2010 This document serves as the background documentation for development and implementation of the proposed projects in collaboration with the US Army Corps of Engineers Although there is no immediate Federal funding available for this program the project proponents (Tulsa County Sand Springs South TulsaJenks and Bixby) plan to continue to pursue potential Federal support Therefore the original PPMP will need to be updated to include the information for the Bixby Project Results of the previous sub tasks will be used to update the document prepared in 2010
Assumptions
bull CH2M HILL will conduct two workshops with City of Bixby staff to outline project elements and alternatives
bull Existing HEC RAS modeling data for the Arkansas River can be readily modified for the Bixby area
bull Field surveys of stormwater outfalls in the Bixby area are not readily available and will require up to 40 hours of field work to inventory for the hydrologic analysiS

ARKANSAS RIVER CORRIDOR PROJECT SUPPLEfJENTAL STUDIES AND EIS SUPPORT
Task 4 Sup~lemental Studies While much analysis has been completed to advance implementation of the project additional work elements are required to ensure compliance with local state and federal regulations and to assess potential impacts see Attachment B The following initial supplemental Technical Studies are recommended for completion by the project team for use in the EIS It is anticipated that additional supplemental studies will be identified by stakeholders and or agency representatives as a result of the scoping and consultation activities described in Task 1 The scope and level of effort of these additional studies will be determined at that time
41 Bixby Project Information Development
During the development of the PMP and related previous studies a number of preliminary evaluations were completed on the proposed alternatives for the Sand Springs and Jenks low-head dams and the modifications to the existing Zink Dam and lake The preliminary design and permitting for the Zink Dam and lake improvements are proceeding independently of the EIS The City of Bixby has proposed to include a third new low-head dam as part of the Arkansas River Corridor projects program as presented in the Arkansas River Corridor Master Plan Because this project was not included in the previous technical studies additional engineering and associated evaluations will need to be completed to bring the Bixby project up to the same level of development as the Sand Springs and South TulsaJenks projects Specific tasks include alternatives development environmental constraints analysis and hydrologic modeling
Alternatives Development - Potential project alternatives will be identified in meetings with Bixby staff and the consultant team including CH2M HILL LandPlan Meshek and Associates and PMg An initial meeting will be held to review the City of Bixbys primary ideas and interests and then the project team will develop some conceptual drawings for review with the City staff during a second meeting The conceptual drawings will identify location potential height and general configuration (number of gates) of dam and any associated project elements Initial drawings will be architectural images on an aerial photo or map background Based on feedback from the city staff the project team will proceed with the required level of conceptual engineering (Task 42)
Environmental Constraints Analysis - Based on the initial concepts for the Bixby project an evaluation of potential impacts on natural resources and protected species will be completed This task will identify key issues that will need to be addressed as part of the EIS Potential issues associated with biological resources wetlands protected species cultural resources water quality and quantity floodplains transportation socioeconomics and utilities and infrastructure will be included in this evaluation A limited (1 day) reconnaissance site visit will be completed as part of this analysis
Hydrologic Analysis - One of the primary issues will be the potential for impacts on the current floodplain and floodway in the vicinity of the proposed Bixby project Therefore the existing HEC-RAS model will need to be modified to include this reach of the Arkansas

River and the proposed dam Additionally a limited field survey of stormwater outfalls will be performed to ensure that the hydrologic analysis is consistent with the previous hydrologic studies being used as the basis for Task 45 In collaboration with Meshek and Associations CH2M HILL will update the HEC RAS model and evaluate the potential for changes in the current 100 year floodplain elevations based on the initial dam design and associated project elements (gate configurations)
Update the Preliminary Project Management Plan - The results of the original evaluation of the Arkansas River Corridor Projects and the proposed project elements was summarized in a Preliminary Project Management Plan (PPMP) in 2010 This document serves as the background documentation for development and implementation of the proposed projects in collaboration with the US Army Corps of Engineers Although there is no immediate Federal funding available for this program the project proponents (Tulsa County Sand Springs South TulsaJenks and Bixby) plan to continue to pursue potential Federal support Therefore the original PPMP will need to be updated to include the information for the Bixby Project Results of the previous sub tasks will be used to update the document prepared in 2010
Assumptions
bull CH2M HILL will conduct two workshops with City of Bixby staff to outline project elements and alternatives
bull Existing HEC RAS modeling data for the Arkansas River can be readily modified for the Bixby area
bull Field surveys of stormwater outfalls in the Bixby area are not readily available and will require up to 40 hours of field work to inventory for the hydrologic analysiS

Task 4 Sup~lemental Studies While much analysis has been completed to advance implementation of the project additional work elements are required to ensure compliance with local state and federal regulations and to assess potential impacts see Attachment B The following initial supplemental Technical Studies are recommended for completion by the project team for use in the EIS It is anticipated that additional supplemental studies will be identified by stakeholders and or agency representatives as a result of the scoping and consultation activities described in Task 1 The scope and level of effort of these additional studies will be determined at that time
41 Bixby Project Information Development
During the development of the PMP and related previous studies a number of preliminary evaluations were completed on the proposed alternatives for the Sand Springs and Jenks low-head dams and the modifications to the existing Zink Dam and lake The preliminary design and permitting for the Zink Dam and lake improvements are proceeding independently of the EIS The City of Bixby has proposed to include a third new low-head dam as part of the Arkansas River Corridor projects program as presented in the Arkansas River Corridor Master Plan Because this project was not included in the previous technical studies additional engineering and associated evaluations will need to be completed to bring the Bixby project up to the same level of development as the Sand Springs and South TulsaJenks projects Specific tasks include alternatives development environmental constraints analysis and hydrologic modeling
Alternatives Development - Potential project alternatives will be identified in meetings with Bixby staff and the consultant team including CH2M HILL LandPlan Meshek and Associates and PMg An initial meeting will be held to review the City of Bixbys primary ideas and interests and then the project team will develop some conceptual drawings for review with the City staff during a second meeting The conceptual drawings will identify location potential height and general configuration (number of gates) of dam and any associated project elements Initial drawings will be architectural images on an aerial photo or map background Based on feedback from the city staff the project team will proceed with the required level of conceptual engineering (Task 42)
Environmental Constraints Analysis - Based on the initial concepts for the Bixby project an evaluation of potential impacts on natural resources and protected species will be completed This task will identify key issues that will need to be addressed as part of the EIS Potential issues associated with biological resources wetlands protected species cultural resources water quality and quantity floodplains transportation socioeconomics and utilities and infrastructure will be included in this evaluation A limited (1 day) reconnaissance site visit will be completed as part of this analysis
Hydrologic Analysis - One of the primary issues will be the potential for impacts on the current floodplain and floodway in the vicinity of the proposed Bixby project Therefore the existing HEC-RAS model will need to be modified to include this reach of the Arkansas

ARKANSAS RIVER CORRIDOR PROJECT SUPPLEfJENTAL STUDIES AND EIS SUPPORT
Task 4 Sup~lemental Studies While much analysis has been completed to advance implementation of the project additional work elements are required to ensure compliance with local state and federal regulations and to assess potential impacts see Attachment B The following initial supplemental Technical Studies are recommended for completion by the project team for use in the EIS It is anticipated that additional supplemental studies will be identified by stakeholders and or agency representatives as a result of the scoping and consultation activities described in Task 1 The scope and level of effort of these additional studies will be determined at that time
41 Bixby Project Information Development
During the development of the PMP and related previous studies a number of preliminary evaluations were completed on the proposed alternatives for the Sand Springs and Jenks low-head dams and the modifications to the existing Zink Dam and lake The preliminary design and permitting for the Zink Dam and lake improvements are proceeding independently of the EIS The City of Bixby has proposed to include a third new low-head dam as part of the Arkansas River Corridor projects program as presented in the Arkansas River Corridor Master Plan Because this project was not included in the previous technical studies additional engineering and associated evaluations will need to be completed to bring the Bixby project up to the same level of development as the Sand Springs and South TulsaJenks projects Specific tasks include alternatives development environmental constraints analysis and hydrologic modeling
Alternatives Development - Potential project alternatives will be identified in meetings with Bixby staff and the consultant team including CH2M HILL LandPlan Meshek and Associates and PMg An initial meeting will be held to review the City of Bixbys primary ideas and interests and then the project team will develop some conceptual drawings for review with the City staff during a second meeting The conceptual drawings will identify location potential height and general configuration (number of gates) of dam and any associated project elements Initial drawings will be architectural images on an aerial photo or map background Based on feedback from the city staff the project team will proceed with the required level of conceptual engineering (Task 42)
Environmental Constraints Analysis - Based on the initial concepts for the Bixby project an evaluation of potential impacts on natural resources and protected species will be completed This task will identify key issues that will need to be addressed as part of the EIS Potential issues associated with biological resources wetlands protected species cultural resources water quality and quantity floodplains transportation socioeconomics and utilities and infrastructure will be included in this evaluation A limited (1 day) reconnaissance site visit will be completed as part of this analysis
Hydrologic Analysis - One of the primary issues will be the potential for impacts on the current floodplain and floodway in the vicinity of the proposed Bixby project Therefore the existing HEC-RAS model will need to be modified to include this reach of the Arkansas

ARKANSAS RIVER CORRIDOR PROJECT SUPPLEfJENTAL STUDIES AND EIS SUPPORT
Task 4 Sup~lemental Studies While much analysis has been completed to advance implementation of the project additional work elements are required to ensure compliance with local state and federal regulations and to assess potential impacts see Attachment B The following initial supplemental Technical Studies are recommended for completion by the project team for use in the EIS It is anticipated that additional supplemental studies will be identified by stakeholders and or agency representatives as a result of the scoping and consultation activities described in Task 1 The scope and level of effort of these additional studies will be determined at that time
41 Bixby Project Information Development
During the development of the PMP and related previous studies a number of preliminary evaluations were completed on the proposed alternatives for the Sand Springs and Jenks low-head dams and the modifications to the existing Zink Dam and lake The preliminary design and permitting for the Zink Dam and lake improvements are proceeding independently of the EIS The City of Bixby has proposed to include a third new low-head dam as part of the Arkansas River Corridor projects program as presented in the Arkansas River Corridor Master Plan Because this project was not included in the previous technical studies additional engineering and associated evaluations will need to be completed to bring the Bixby project up to the same level of development as the Sand Springs and South TulsaJenks projects Specific tasks include alternatives development environmental constraints analysis and hydrologic modeling
Alternatives Development - Potential project alternatives will be identified in meetings with Bixby staff and the consultant team including CH2M HILL LandPlan Meshek and Associates and PMg An initial meeting will be held to review the City of Bixbys primary ideas and interests and then the project team will develop some conceptual drawings for review with the City staff during a second meeting The conceptual drawings will identify location potential height and general configuration (number of gates) of dam and any associated project elements Initial drawings will be architectural images on an aerial photo or map background Based on feedback from the city staff the project team will proceed with the required level of conceptual engineering (Task 42)
Environmental Constraints Analysis - Based on the initial concepts for the Bixby project an evaluation of potential impacts on natural resources and protected species will be completed This task will identify key issues that will need to be addressed as part of the EIS Potential issues associated with biological resources wetlands protected species cultural resources water quality and quantity floodplains transportation socioeconomics and utilities and infrastructure will be included in this evaluation A limited (1 day) reconnaissance site visit will be completed as part of this analysis
Hydrologic Analysis - One of the primary issues will be the potential for impacts on the current floodplain and floodway in the vicinity of the proposed Bixby project Therefore the existing HEC-RAS model will need to be modified to include this reach of the Arkansas

River and the proposed dam Additionally a limited field survey of stormwater outfalls will be performed to ensure that the hydrologic analysis is consistent with the previous hydrologic studies being used as the basis for Task 45 In collaboration with Meshek and Associations CH2M HILL will update the HEC RAS model and evaluate the potential for changes in the current 100 year floodplain elevations based on the initial dam design and associated project elements (gate configurations)
Update the Preliminary Project Management Plan - The results of the original evaluation of the Arkansas River Corridor Projects and the proposed project elements was summarized in a Preliminary Project Management Plan (PPMP) in 2010 This document serves as the background documentation for development and implementation of the proposed projects in collaboration with the US Army Corps of Engineers Although there is no immediate Federal funding available for this program the project proponents (Tulsa County Sand Springs South TulsaJenks and Bixby) plan to continue to pursue potential Federal support Therefore the original PPMP will need to be updated to include the information for the Bixby Project Results of the previous sub tasks will be used to update the document prepared in 2010
Assumptions
bull CH2M HILL will conduct two workshops with City of Bixby staff to outline project elements and alternatives
bull Existing HEC RAS modeling data for the Arkansas River can be readily modified for the Bixby area
bull Field surveys of stormwater outfalls in the Bixby area are not readily available and will require up to 40 hours of field work to inventory for the hydrologic analysiS

Task 4 Sup~lemental Studies While much analysis has been completed to advance implementation of the project additional work elements are required to ensure compliance with local state and federal regulations and to assess potential impacts see Attachment B The following initial supplemental Technical Studies are recommended for completion by the project team for use in the EIS It is anticipated that additional supplemental studies will be identified by stakeholders and or agency representatives as a result of the scoping and consultation activities described in Task 1 The scope and level of effort of these additional studies will be determined at that time
41 Bixby Project Information Development
During the development of the PMP and related previous studies a number of preliminary evaluations were completed on the proposed alternatives for the Sand Springs and Jenks low-head dams and the modifications to the existing Zink Dam and lake The preliminary design and permitting for the Zink Dam and lake improvements are proceeding independently of the EIS The City of Bixby has proposed to include a third new low-head dam as part of the Arkansas River Corridor projects program as presented in the Arkansas River Corridor Master Plan Because this project was not included in the previous technical studies additional engineering and associated evaluations will need to be completed to bring the Bixby project up to the same level of development as the Sand Springs and South TulsaJenks projects Specific tasks include alternatives development environmental constraints analysis and hydrologic modeling
Alternatives Development - Potential project alternatives will be identified in meetings with Bixby staff and the consultant team including CH2M HILL LandPlan Meshek and Associates and PMg An initial meeting will be held to review the City of Bixbys primary ideas and interests and then the project team will develop some conceptual drawings for review with the City staff during a second meeting The conceptual drawings will identify location potential height and general configuration (number of gates) of dam and any associated project elements Initial drawings will be architectural images on an aerial photo or map background Based on feedback from the city staff the project team will proceed with the required level of conceptual engineering (Task 42)
Environmental Constraints Analysis - Based on the initial concepts for the Bixby project an evaluation of potential impacts on natural resources and protected species will be completed This task will identify key issues that will need to be addressed as part of the EIS Potential issues associated with biological resources wetlands protected species cultural resources water quality and quantity floodplains transportation socioeconomics and utilities and infrastructure will be included in this evaluation A limited (1 day) reconnaissance site visit will be completed as part of this analysis
Hydrologic Analysis - One of the primary issues will be the potential for impacts on the current floodplain and floodway in the vicinity of the proposed Bixby project Therefore the existing HEC-RAS model will need to be modified to include this reach of the Arkansas

Task 4 Sup~lemental Studies While much analysis has been completed to advance implementation of the project additional work elements are required to ensure compliance with local state and federal regulations and to assess potential impacts see Attachment B The following initial supplemental Technical Studies are recommended for completion by the project team for use in the EIS It is anticipated that additional supplemental studies will be identified by stakeholders and or agency representatives as a result of the scoping and consultation activities described in Task 1 The scope and level of effort of these additional studies will be determined at that time
41 Bixby Project Information Development
During the development of the PMP and related previous studies a number of preliminary evaluations were completed on the proposed alternatives for the Sand Springs and Jenks low-head dams and the modifications to the existing Zink Dam and lake The preliminary design and permitting for the Zink Dam and lake improvements are proceeding independently of the EIS The City of Bixby has proposed to include a third new low-head dam as part of the Arkansas River Corridor projects program as presented in the Arkansas River Corridor Master Plan Because this project was not included in the previous technical studies additional engineering and associated evaluations will need to be completed to bring the Bixby project up to the same level of development as the Sand Springs and South TulsaJenks projects Specific tasks include alternatives development environmental constraints analysis and hydrologic modeling
Alternatives Development - Potential project alternatives will be identified in meetings with Bixby staff and the consultant team including CH2M HILL LandPlan Meshek and Associates and PMg An initial meeting will be held to review the City of Bixbys primary ideas and interests and then the project team will develop some conceptual drawings for review with the City staff during a second meeting The conceptual drawings will identify location potential height and general configuration (number of gates) of dam and any associated project elements Initial drawings will be architectural images on an aerial photo or map background Based on feedback from the city staff the project team will proceed with the required level of conceptual engineering (Task 42)
Environmental Constraints Analysis - Based on the initial concepts for the Bixby project an evaluation of potential impacts on natural resources and protected species will be completed This task will identify key issues that will need to be addressed as part of the EIS Potential issues associated with biological resources wetlands protected species cultural resources water quality and quantity floodplains transportation socioeconomics and utilities and infrastructure will be included in this evaluation A limited (1 day) reconnaissance site visit will be completed as part of this analysis
Hydrologic Analysis - One of the primary issues will be the potential for impacts on the current floodplain and floodway in the vicinity of the proposed Bixby project Therefore the existing HEC-RAS model will need to be modified to include this reach of the Arkansas

River and the proposed dam Additionally a limited field survey of stormwater outfalls will be performed to ensure that the hydrologic analysis is consistent with the previous hydrologic studies being used as the basis for Task 45 In collaboration with Meshek and Associations CH2M HILL will update the HEC RAS model and evaluate the potential for changes in the current 100 year floodplain elevations based on the initial dam design and associated project elements (gate configurations)
Update the Preliminary Project Management Plan - The results of the original evaluation of the Arkansas River Corridor Projects and the proposed project elements was summarized in a Preliminary Project Management Plan (PPMP) in 2010 This document serves as the background documentation for development and implementation of the proposed projects in collaboration with the US Army Corps of Engineers Although there is no immediate Federal funding available for this program the project proponents (Tulsa County Sand Springs South TulsaJenks and Bixby) plan to continue to pursue potential Federal support Therefore the original PPMP will need to be updated to include the information for the Bixby Project Results of the previous sub tasks will be used to update the document prepared in 2010
Assumptions
bull CH2M HILL will conduct two workshops with City of Bixby staff to outline project elements and alternatives
bull Existing HEC RAS modeling data for the Arkansas River can be readily modified for the Bixby area
bull Field surveys of stormwater outfalls in the Bixby area are not readily available and will require up to 40 hours of field work to inventory for the hydrologic analysiS

92 Wetland Delineation and Report
CH2M HILL will prepare a jurisdictional waters report compliant with the USACEs JD Instructional Guidebook and 1987 Wetlands Delineation Manual including applicable regional supplement) A limited field survey will be completed in the immediate area of the proposed low water dam and the upstream impoundment
The report will provide descriptions and classifications of wetlands (following the US Fish and Wildlife Service classification system developed by Cowardin et al 1979) photographs of wetlands and surrounding uplands maps depicting the location of each wetland and the approved jurisdictional forms Following incorporation of PMg review a final report will be prepared and submitted to the Tulsa District USACE for approval and wetland boundary (and waters of the US) verification
Assumptions
bull A professional field (metes and bounds) survey of wetland boundaries will not be required A combination of hand-held GPS field data (meeting USACE guidelines) and existing topographic contour data will be adequate to map potential wetlands in the project area Maps will be prepared as overlays on an aerial photo background
Deliverables
bull A Potentially Jurisdictional Waters Report with jurisdictional determination forms
