Chapter 2 Affected Environment, Environmental Consequences, and Mitigation Measures proposed project would occur within existing right-of-way, A portion of the existing parking at the Cliff House Inn in Mussel Shoals is located on Old Coast Highway. Implementation of the BUILD alternative may result in the loss or temporary loss of parking in front of the Cliff House Inn. Avoidance, Minimization and/or Mitigation Measures Based on the above discussion and analysis, the implementation of the proposed project would not cause substantial impacts to public services within the study area. • If protection or relocation of the utilities would be required, early coordination and communication with the utility provider would occur so there would be no disruption of services. • For loss of private parking spaces, the property owner would be compensated. 2.1.9 Environmental Justice Regulatory Setting All projects involving a federal action (funding, permit, or land) must comply with Executive Order 12898, Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, signed by President Bill Clinton on February 11, 1994. This Executive Order directs federal agencies to take the appropriate and necessary steps to identify and address disproportionately high and adverse impacts of federal projects on the health or environment of minority and low-income populations to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law. Low income is defined based on the Department of Health and Human Services poverty guidelines. For 2008, this was $21,200 for a family of four. All considerations under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and related statutes have also been included in this project. The Department’s commitment to upholding the mandates of Title VI is evidenced by its Title VI Policy Statement, signed by the Director, which can be found in Appendix C of this document. Affected Environment As shown in Table 2.1-8, none of the affected communities have markedly higher levels of non-white or Hispanic populations compared to the surrounding region with the exception of the southern area of Carpinteria. In the Rincon area, La Conchita, and Mussel Shoals, the total non-white population is much lower than the Ventura County 60 IS/EA VEN-SB US101 HOV Project
Chapter 2 Affected Environment, Environmental Consequences, and Mitigation Measures average. Similarly, the total Hispanic population within these communities is much lower than the Ventura County average. The proportion of the population below the poverty line within the overall study area is lower than the Santa Barbara County average and is consistent with the Ventura County average. However, Hispanic populations within the southern area of Carpinteria as a proportion of the total population are proportionally higher than the City of Carpinteria average but substantially higher than the Santa Barbara County average. The total minority population within the southern area of Carpinteria is also markedly higher than the Santa Barbara County average. Environmental Consequences NO BUILD Alternative Under the NO BUILD Alternative, existing conditions would remain and no environmental justice impacts would occur. However, existing congestion along U.S. 101 would not be alleviated, projected growth in the area would not be accommodated, and safety would not be improved along the roadway with implementation of the NO BUILD Alternative. BUILD Alternatives Based on the above analysis, the southern area of Carpinteria is considered to be a minority Hispanic population. No other minority populations and no low-income populations are considered to occur within the study area. Potential aesthetic, air quality, noise, and community character impacts to the southern area of Carpinteria have been identified. Air quality and noise impacts associated with construction of the soundwalls would affect the southern area of Carpinteria. However, air quality and noise impacts associated with construction of soundwalls at Mussel Shoals would also occur, so no disproportionately high and adverse air quality and noise impacts would occur to the southern area of Carpinteria. The affect on air quality is discussed in the air quality section 2.2.6. IS/EA VEN-SB US101 HOV Project 61
