Water Resources<br />
1. NS shall obtain all necessary Federal, state, and local permits if construction activities require<br />
the alteration of wetlands, ponds, lakes, streams, or rivers, or if these activities would cause soil<br />
or other materials to wash into these water resources. NS shall use appropriate techniques to<br />
minimize impacts to water bodies and wetlands.<br />
Biological Resources<br />
1. NS shall use BMPs to control erosion, runoff, and surface instability during construction,<br />
including seeding, fiber mats, straw mulch, plastic liners, slope drains, and other erosion control<br />
devices. Once the track is constructed, NS shall establish vegetation on the embankment slope<br />
to provide permanent cover and prevent potential erosion. If erosion develops, NS shall take<br />
steps to develop other appropriate erosion control procedures.<br />
2. NS shall use only EPA-approved herbicides and qualified contractors for application of right-ofway<br />
maintenance herbicides, and shall limit such application to the extent necessary for rail<br />
operations.<br />
Air Quality<br />
Noise<br />
1. NS shall comply with all applicable Federal, state, and local regulations regarding the control<br />
of fugitive dust. Fugitive dust emissions created during construction shall be minimized by<br />
using such control methods as water spraying, installation of wind barriers, and chemical<br />
treatment.<br />
1. NS shall control temporary noise from construction equipment through the use of work hour<br />
controls and maintenance of muffler systems on machinery.<br />
Cultural Resources<br />
1. In those cases where historic resources would be adversely affected, NS shall not undertake<br />
construction activities until the Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (16 U.S.C.<br />
470f., as amended) review process is completed. If previously undiscovered archaeological<br />
remains are found during construction, NS shall cease work and immediately contact the <strong>Ohio</strong><br />
SHPO to initiate the appropriate Section 106 process.<br />
Energy<br />
1. There are no impacts to mitigation; therefore, there are no proposed mitigation measures.<br />
