GLOSSARY AASHTO: American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials. ADA: Americans with Disabilities Act. At-Grade Crossing: refers to a trail/roadway intersection where trail users are routed onto the road, rather than above (pedestrian bridge) or below (tunnel). BMP: best management practices. These practices reflect the most up-to-date technology to solve or improve design issues. Bollards: metal, wooden or concrete posts designed to restrict vehicle access to a trail. CAC: Citizens Advisory Committee. EPA: United States Environmental Protection Agency. Floodplain: the lowland that borders a stream, creek, river or water conveyance and is subject to flooding when the stream overflows its banks. “Gene-ways”: routes by which genetic diversity can occur, such as greenways, through the migration and breeding of plant and animal species. Greenway: a linear corridor of natural land, usually following features such as rivers, creeks, ridges, old railroad lines or utility lines. Greenways generally contain trails. Gabions: rectangular, rock-filled, wire baskets which are building blocks that are used to stabilize stream banks. LRTP: Long Range Transportation Plan. The Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) is a comprehensive plan for the total transportation system encompassing each mode: transit, rail, bicycle, pedestrian, airport and streets and highways. The LRTP must be fiscally constrained and meet air quality conformity standards for the 2025 horizon year. MUTCD: Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Non-attainment area: The Clean Air Act and Amendments of 1990 define a “non attainment area” as a locality where air pollution levels persistently exceed National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Designating an area non-attainment is a formal rule making process and EPA normally takes this action only after air quality standards have been exceeded for several consecutive years. http://www.epa.govairs nonattn.html NCDOT (GIS): North Carolina Department of Transportation Geographic Information Survey. This public department provides and maintains a comprehensive road configuration and attributed digital data base for GIS, mapping, and road inventory. PART: Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation. PART is a Regional Transportation Authority with a goal to improve transportation through regional cooperation. In 1997 the North Carolina General Assembly approved enabling legislation to form a regional transportation authority whereby local triad governments can work together to develop transportation systems throughout the region. Riparian: associated with a river or creek. Rip Rap: large angular rocks that are traditionally used to armor eroding banks of small streams. ROW: right-of-way. ROW is associated with NCDOT easements. Stormwater: rainfall or snowmelt which travels into streams and rivers during and after storm events. Trail tread: the surface of a trail. Trail head: a designated public access point along a greenway which can include bicycle and paved or gravel automobile parking, rest room facilities, drinking fountains, signage, benches and picnic tables. Watershed Ratings: North Carolina Department of Water Quality Classification. WS-I: watersheds are entirely composed of publicly owned land, and are used as PIEDMONT GREENWAY Final Master Plan Report i
sources of water supply for drinking, culinary, or food processing purposes for those users desiring maximum protection for their water supplies. WS-I waters are those within essentially natural and undeveloped watersheds with no permitted point source (wastewater) discharges. WS-II: waters are generally located within predominantly undeveloped watersheds. Waters used as sources of water supply for drinking, culinary, or food processing purposes for those users desiring maximum protection for their water supplies where a WS-I classification is not feasible. WS-III: waters are generally located within low to moderately developed watersheds. Waters used as sources of water supply for drinking, culinary, or food processing purposes for those users where a more protective WS-I or WS-II classification is not feasible. WS-IV: waters are generally located within moderately to highly developed watersheds. Waters used as sources of water supply for drinking, culinary, or food processing purposes for those users where a WS-I, WS-II, or WS-III classification is not feasible. WS-V: has no categorical restrictions on watershed development or wastewater dischargers like other WS classifications, and local governments are not required to adopt watershed protection ordinances. Waters protected as water supplies which are generally upstream and draining to WS-IV waters or waters used by industry. PIEDMONT GREENWAY Final Master Plan Report ii
