101 West Ohio Street, Suite 2121 Indianapolis, IN 46204 RE: Additional Information Document for Categorical Exclusion, Level 2

Des. No. 0710929 (lead) and 1296642 SR 66 Intersection Improvement and Small Structure Replacement Spencer County, Indiana

On August 18, 2017, the Vincennes District approved the Categorical Exclusion, Level 2 (CE-2) for the above referenced project. Since that time, the design was modified from a roundabout to a signalized intersection. This Additional Information document (AI) has been prepared to document the changes in project scope and evaluate their impacts. Preferred Alternative – Signalized Intersection with Added Turn Lanes The revised preferred alternative includes a mill and overlay of existing pavement, widening the intersection to accommodate added left turn only lanes along SR 66, drainage improvements, an upgraded signal, and upgraded signs (see project plans, Attachment 1). Travel lanes in all directions would remain unchanged. As part of this project, several pipes and culverts will be replaced, including INDOT Structure CV 066-074-54.00. The project does not include work on existing permanent lighting. Guardrail will be installed where needed. All work will occur within 50 feet of the existing edge of pavement. Approximate project termini were expanded east and west to achieve left turn lane deceleration and storage lengths. The approximate termini are from 1,105 feet west to 595 feet east of the intersection center, and from 320 feet south to 265 feet north of the intersection center. In the expanded areas, construction is limited to existing paved surfaces, plus three areas where existing signs and a driveway pipe will be replaced. These three areas are south of SR 66 and west of Orchard Road within previously-disturbed soils. Based on Parsons October 16, 2019 site visit, the areas are maintained grassy roadsides located within ten feet of existing pavement. A total of 0.82 acre of permanent right-of-way and up to 0.5 acre of temporary right-of-way will be acquired for this project. The project is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2020, and work will occur year-round. During construction, temporary lighting may be used, and the intersection will remain open to traffic along SR 66. The area will be restricted to one lane of traffic, which will be controlled by temporary signals. Traffic traveling north- and south-bound along Orchard Road will experience temporary disruptions requiring detours via local roads, SR 161, and SR 66.

CE-2 Additional Information (AI) SR 66 Intersection Improvement, Des. Nos. 0710929 and 1296642 November 13, 2019

2

The preferred alternative will meet the project’s purpose and need by improving safety with lengthened deceleration areas, increasing capacity of the intersection, and maintaining a sufficient crossing of SR 66 over UNTs to Huffman Drain. Alternatives Analysis Due to public concerns about the proposed roundabout, the following project alternatives were reanalyzed and compared to the revised preferred alternative (signalized intersection with added turn lanes). Alternative 1 – No-Build (Signalized Intersection) This alternative would leave the intersection in its present condition. The no-build alternative would not address the project’s purpose and need because it would not increase capacity of the intersection and it would not correct the intersection’s drainage issues (small structure project Des. No. 1296642). Therefore, it was dismissed from further consideration. Alternative 2 – Offset Roundabout (Former Preferred Alternative from the 2017 CE-2) This alternative is an offset roundabout with a single 16-foot wide travel lane. Additionally, INDOT Structure CV-066-074-54.00 would be replaced. While this alternative would meet the project’s purpose and need, there were public concerns about the roundabout and its potential impact to area businesses and oversized agricultural vehicles. Additionally, this alternative would impact over 800 linear feet of streams (UNTs to Huffman Drain). While the off-set roundabout alternative would meet the project’s purpose and need, it lacked public support and would incur more stream impacts compared to the preferred alternative, therefore it was dismissed from further consideration. Right-of-Way The preferred alternative will require the same permanent right-of-way that was analyzed in the 2017 CE-2 document, a total of 0.82 acre consisting of strips from commercial and school corporation real estate. No relocations are proposed. This right-of-way is needed to correct the intersection’s drainage issues. Up to 0.5 acre of temporary right-of-way may be required to match private driveway profiles. Red Flag Investigation The Red Flag Investigation (RFI) approved February 8, 2016 was reevaluated. The current RFI data was reviewed and found to be consistent with the information previously approved, therefore no addendum was needed (Attachment 2). Water Resources Due to the expanded project limits, the Waters of the US Report approved November 3, 2017 was reevaluated. Expanded project limits are limited to existing paved surfaces, except for three locations where existing signs and a 15-inch diameter driveway pipe will be replaced. These areas were reviewed by Parsons on October 16, 2019. They are located within 10 feet of existing pavement and consist of mowed grass. No evidence of water resources was noted. Therefore, no revisions to the Waters of the US Report are required. Threatened and Endangered Species Since this project was initiated in 2016, the potential impact to Threatened and Endangered Species was updated (Attachment 2). Project information was submitted through the United States Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS’s) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) portal, and an official species list was generated (Attachment 4). The project is within range of the federally endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) and the federally threatened northern long-eared bat (NLEB) (Myotis septentrionalis). Other species were found to be present within or adjacent to the project area along with the Indiana bat and NLEB, discussed further below.

CE-2 Additional Information (AI) SR 66 Intersection Improvement, Des. Nos. 0710929 and 1296642 November 13, 2019

The project qualifies for the Range-wide Programmatic Informal Consultation for the Indiana bat and NLEB, dated May 2016 (revised February 2018), between FHWA, Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and USFWS. An effect determination key was completed on October 23, 2019, and based on the responses provided, the project was found to “May Affect, Not Likely To Adversely Affect” the Indiana bat and/or the NLEB. INDOT reviewed and verified the effect finding on October 24, 2019, and requested USFWS’s review of the finding (Attachment 5). No response was received from USFWS within the 14-day review period; therefore, it was concluded they concur with the finding. Avoidance and Mitigation Measures (AMMs) are included as firm commitments in the Environmental Commitments section of this document.

The official species list generated from IPaC indicated two other species present within the project area, the gray bat (Myotis grisescens) and the least tern (Sterna antillarum). The project qualifies for the USFWS Interim Policy. Further coordination is not needed with USFWS.

Public Involvement Following approval of this AI, INDOT will hold a public information meeting to inform the public of the project changes.

Permitting Permits will be updated to reflect the current project limits and revised impacts. No additional permits are necessary. Revisions will be coordinated through the INDOT Ecology and Permitting Office (EWPO).

Environmental Commitments The following firm environmental commitments will be added to the existing list of project commitments:

General AMM 1 - Ensure all operators, employees, and contractors working in areas of known or presumed bat habitat are aware of all FHWA/FRA/FTA (Transportation Agencies) environmental commitments, including all applicable AMMs.

Lighting AMM 1 - Direct temporary lighting away from suitable habitat during the active season.

Conclusions Based on the information provided in this AI, the impacts associated with this project remain consistent with the thresholds of a CE-2. This addendum validates the CE-2 and reflects the current scope of the project as of the date of this AI. The documentation and determinations in the CE-2 approved on August 18, 2017 remain valid unless otherwise stated in this document. If the scope of work or permanent or temporary right-of-way amounts change, INDOT Environmental Services Division (ESD) and the INDOT District Environmental Section will be contacted immediately. This Additional Information addendum and the approved CE-2 fulfill the responsibilities of INDOT and FHWA as required by the National Environmental Policy Act, as amended.

Juliet Port, With regards to the RFI, no addendum is necessary. Since the RFI is more than 3 years old, Icoordinated with the SAM group. We reviewed the scope change, the areas of concern in the originalRFI, and the current RFI layers. Since the hazmat sites were deemed to not be impacted fromdistance from the project’s grading work, there is no need for the addendum. Please place thisportion of the email chain into the AI and reference it in the text to verify no addendum to the RFIwas needed. With regards to the Indiana Bat and NLEB Programmatic, please run the project through IPaC. Astime is a factor, I have already completed the USFWS ETR GIS layer check during this emailreview:

A review of the USFWS database did not indicate the presence of endangered bat species inor within 0.5 mile of the project area. The range-wide programmatic consultation for theIndiana Bat and Northern Long-eared Bat will be completed according to the most recent“Using the USFWS’s IPaC System for Listed Bat Consultation for INDOT Projects”.

Please proceed with the field inspections for evidence of bats for the structures involved. With regards to Section 106, I agree with your assessment that no NTF to INDOT CRO is necessary.

AI for the CE-2SR 66 Intersection ImprovementSpencer Co.Des No. 0710929 Ryan, I hope you had a nice holiday weekend. I’d like to verify the scope for the AI. The CE-2 was signedand approved Aug 18, 2017.

RFI – was signed Feb. 8, 2016. Therefore, an RFI Addendum is probably needed? Pleaseconfirm.Bats – the ECLs were sent in April 2016, therefore the project pre-dated the Indiana Bat andNLEB Programmatic. Could you please confirm if we need to apply that now and run the IPaCDetermination Key??

If yes, we will need to go out there and inspect the structures and pipes for evidence ofbats. I’d like to do that later this week, if possible, so please let us know ASAP if this isrequired.

Section 106 – The 800.11 Finding was “No Historic Properties Effected”. The project limits andAPE appear sufficient and the proposed right-of-way is the same. Therefore, do we need tosubmit a Note to File to INDOT-CRO ??

Subject: Updated list of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project

To Whom It May Concern:

The attached species list identifies any federally threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project or may be affected by your proposed project. The list also includes designated critical habitat if present within your proposed project area or affected by your project. This list is provided to you as the initial step of the consultation process required under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act, also referred to as Section 7 Consultation.

Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 requires that actions authorized, funded, or carried out by Federal agencies not jeopardize federally threatened or endangered species or adversely modify designated critical habitat. To fulfill this mandate, Federal agencies (or their designated non-federal representative) must consult with the Service if they determine their project may affect listed species or critical habitat.

Under 50 CFR 402.12(e) (the regulations that implement Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act) the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be completed formally or informally. You may verify the list by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website http://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/ at regular intervals during project planning and implementation and completing the same process you used to receive the attached list. As an alternative, you may contact this Ecological Services Field Office for updates.

Please use the species list provided and visit the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Region 3 Section 7 Technical Assistance website at - http://www.fws.gov/midwest/endangered/section7/ s7process/index.html. This website contains step-by-step instructions which will help you


10/23/2019 Event Code: 03E12000-2020-E-00594 2

determine if your project will have an adverse effect on listed species and will help lead you through the Section 7 process.

For all wind energy projects and projects that include installing towers that use guy wires or are over 200 feet in height, please contact this field office directly for assistance, even if no federally listed plants, animals or critical habitat are present within your proposed project or may be affected by your proposed project.

Although no longer protected under the Endangered Species Act, be aware that bald eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.) and Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 703 et seq), as are golden eagles. Projects affecting these species may require measures to avoid harming eagles or may require a permit. If your project is near an eagle nest or winter roost area, see our Eagle Permits website at http://www.fws.gov/midwest/ midwestbird/EaglePermits/index.html to help you determine if you can avoid impacting eagles or if a permit may be necessary.

We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit to our office.

Project SummaryConsultation Code: 03E12000-2020-SLI-0114

Event Code: 03E12000-2020-E-00594

Project Name: Des 0710929 SR 66 Intersection Improvement

Project Type: TRANSPORTATION

Project Description: The proposed project is an intersection improvement at SR 66 and CR 275 W/Orchard Road in the unincorporated community of Reo, Spencer County, Indiana. Topography in the project area is flat, with adjacent land use consisting of commercial and agricultural to the northeast, South Spencer High School to the northwest, commercial to the southwest, and a fire department to the southeast. The purpose of this project is to the improve the safety and capacity of the intersection, and to ensure a safe and hydraulically adequate crossing of SR 66 over Huffman Drain. This segment of SR 66 consists of two 12-foot lanes, with paved shoulders that range in width from one to two feet. It has dedicated right- turn lanes in each direction. The northbound Orchard Road approach has two 12-foot travel lanes and an additional 12-foot left turn lane. The south Orchard Road approach is a single 12-foot lane that widens into two 12- foot lanes at the intersection. The preferred alternative includes a mill and overlay of existing pavement, widening the intersection to accommodate added left turn only lanes along SR 66, drainage improvements, an upgraded signal, and upgraded signs. Travel lanes in all directions would remain unchanged. As part of this project, several pipes and culverts will be replaced, including INDOT Structure CV 066-074-54.00. The project will not work on existing permanent lighting. During construction, temporary lighting may be used, and the intersection will remain open to traffic along SR 66. The area will be restricted to one lane of traffic, which will be controlled by signals. Traffic traveling north- and south-bound along Orchard Road will experience temporary disruptions requiring detours via local roads, SR 161, and SR 66. The project is scheduled to begin in the Spring of 2020 and work will occur year-round. All work will occur within 50 feet of the existing edge of pavement. A total of 0.82 acre of permanent right-of-way and up to 0.5 acre of temporary right-of-way will be acquired for this project.

Suitable summer habitat is present approximately 600 feet northwest of the western project limits. Additionally, there is a narrow, vegetated corridor along Huffman Drain. There are no trees within the project area, therefore this project does not include tree clearing or trimming. A review of the USFWS database on October 15, 2019 did not indicate the presence of endangered bat species in or within 0.5 mile of the project area. The culverts and pipes were inspected on October 16, 2019. No evidence for the presence of bats was encountered.

Endangered Species Act SpeciesThere is a total of 4 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list.

Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species list because a project could affect downstream species. Note that 1 of these species should be considered only under certain conditions.

IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA Fisheries , as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the Department of Commerce.

See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office if you have questions.

Subject: Concurrence verification letter for the 'Des 0710929 SR 66 Intersection Improvement' project under the revised February 5, 2018, FHWA, FRA, FTA Programmatic Biological Opinion for Transportation Projects within the Range of the Indiana Bat and Northern Long-eared Bat.

To whom it may concern:

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has received your request dated to verify that the Des 0710929 SR 66 Intersection Improvement (Proposed Action) may rely on the concurrence provided in the February 5, 2018, FHWA, FRA, FTA Programmatic Biological Opinion for Transportation Projects within the Range of the Indiana Bat and Northern Long-eared Bat (PBO) to satisfy requirements under Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) (87 Stat. 884, as amended; 16 U.S.C 1531 et seq.).

Based on the information you provided (Project Description shown below), you have determined that the Proposed Action is within the scope and adheres to the criteria of the PBO, including the adoption of applicable avoidance and minimization measures, may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect (NLAA) the endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) and/or the threatened Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis).

The Service has 14 calendar days to notify the lead Federal action agency or designated non- federal representative if we determine that the Proposed Action does not meet the criteria for a NLAA determination under the PBO. If we do not notify the lead Federal action agency or designated non-federal representative within that timeframe, you may proceed with the Proposed Action under the terms of the NLAA concurrence provided in the PBO. This verification period allows Service Field Offices to apply local knowledge to implementation of the PBO, as we may identify a small subset of actions having impacts that were unanticipated. In such instances, Service Field Offices may request additional information that is necessary to verify inclusion of the proposed action under the PBO.


10/24/2019 Event Code: 03E12000-2020-E-00598 2

For Proposed Actions that include bridge/structure removal, replacement, and/or maintenance activities: If your initial bridge/structure assessments failed to detect Indiana bats, but you later detect bats during construction, please submit the Post Assessment Discovery of Bats at Bridge/Structure Form (User Guide Appendix E) to this Service Office. In these instances, potential incidental take of Indiana bats may be exempted provided that the take is reported to the Service.

If the Proposed Action is modified, or new information reveals that it may affect the Indiana bat and/or Northern long-eared bat in a manner or to an extent not considered in the PBO, further review to conclude the requirements of ESA Section 7(a)(2) may be required. If the Proposed Action may affect any other federally-listed or proposed species, and/or any designated critical habitat, additional consultation is required. If the proposed action has the potential to take bald or golden eagles, additional coordination with the Service under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act may also be required. In either of these circumstances, please contact this Service Office.

The following species may occur in your project area and are not covered by this determination:

Gray Bat, Myotis grisescens (Endangered)Least Tern, Sterna antillarum (Endangered)
