Task 4 - Agencx Coordination: URSG will conduct regulatory agency coordination for the project. This will include printing additional copies of the report and submitting them to the Corps, Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). Endangered species coordination with the USFWS and ODNR would be conducted as well as cultural resource coordination with the State Historic Preservation Office. URSG will meet with regulatory agencies in the field for one (1) meeting, if required. Additional tasks resulting from the agency coordination and/or the field verification meeting are not included within this scope of work and will be considered additional work. Task 5 -Provide Wetland Survey Services: Accurate wetland surveys aze required in order to incorporate existing wetland azeas with proposed wetland mitigation azeas and stormwater management areas. URSG will provide survey services to locate and accurately map wetlands/waters flagged boundaries. These surveyed boundaries will be inserted into project base mapping and wetland impact acreage figures will be updated. Task 6- Application Preparation: URSG will prepare an application for an individual Corps § 404 permit and an individual OEPA § 401 water quality certification and provide ongoing application coordination services. • Attend Two (2) Alternative DevelopmentlAnalysis Meetings: Prior to and concurrent with performing Tasks 3 and 4 described below, URSG environmental staff will meet with Longaberger staff and/or their other consultants to develop and analyze feasible engineering and mitigative alternatives. • Analyze and Document Stream Water Quality (If Required): Should the selected preferred alternative impact the intermittent stream on the site, URSG will analyze and document the stream segment's water quality. The stream will be field-investigated and an OEPA Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index (QHEI) form will be completed for the segment. • Prepare Alternatives Analysis portion of Joint Application Document: URSG will continue to analyze and document the alternatives generated in Task 1. This analysis will be prepazed in the form of OEPA §401 water quality certification application Questions #10(a-j). • Prepare Draft Conceptual Mitigation Plan/Mitigative Technique Alternative: URSG will prepaze a draft conceptual mitigation plan (which will include the mitigative technique alternative per OEPA's requirements) to offset project impacts on wetlands and/or streams. URSG will plan mitigation in accordance with published Corps and OEPA mitigation policies that is both cost effective and can be accomplished in a timely manner. These policies call for at least partial mitigation onsite and in-kind where practicable. URSG will focus mitigation planning efforts on replacing the functions and values currently provided by existing wetlands andlor the stretch of the unnamed tributary to be impacted, especially floodflow alteration, water quality improvement, and aquatic/wildlife habitat. The draft mitigation strategy will be informally coordinated with the Corps, OEPA, and other involved agencies via phone, FAX, e-mail, etc., to solicit comments/approval on the plan. Prepare a Corps §404 Permit/OEPA §401 Water Quality Certification Joint Application Document: URSG will prepaze a Joint Application Document for a Corps §404 permit and for OEPA §401 water quality certification. The Joint Application Document will include filled-out copies of the Corps §404 permit application form (ENG Form 4345) and the OEPA §401 water quality certification application form (401\applicat.401). It will address the alternatives analysis and conceptual mitigation plan through the format of OEPA Questions # 10(a-j) for at least the four Q:1BD~50306Q1II~T-VIEWIIWKORD]TO.WPD 3 _ III~S Ci/®IA®!'
