T.F. Green Airport Improvement ProgramEnvironmental Impact Statement and Final Section 4(f) Evaluation6.5.1 Mitigation for Other Surface Transportation Impacts for Alternative B4Proposed surface transportation enhancements for the Preferred Alternative include:• Incorporating relocated ‘Park and Ride’ facilities and relocated RIPTA bus stops into the roadwaymodifications; and• Providing pedestrian and bicycle accommodations as appropriate as part of the roadway relocation andrealignment projects if practicable.6.5.1.1 Identify Bus Stops and Park and Ride FacilityRIAC will coordinate with the appropriate decision makers at RIPTA to ensure that any bus stops affected bythe relocation of Airport Road or the realignment of Main Avenue are replaced as appropriate along the newportions of each roadway. RIAC will coordinate with RIDOT to identify possible locations for a new park andride facility.6.5.1.2 Provide Pedestrian and Bicycle AccommodationsAppropriate pedestrian and bicycle accommodations will be provided along the newly constructed portions ofAirport Road and Main Avenue. These accommodations will be identified further in the design phase of theproject through continued coordination with RIDOT and would conform to RIDOT’s preferred “completestreets” guidance. Sidewalks, wheelchair ramps, and pedestrian accommodations at existing traffic signalswould be upgraded along the reconstructed portions of the roadway to comply with the American’s withDisabilities Act, and all applicable state and local statutes. All roadway designs and layouts (i.e., CompleteStreets) would adhere to the applicable policies of RIDOT, and RIDOT would be involved in the design process.The roadway design details could follow the conclusion of the NEPA process, which would include locations ofimprovements, sidewalk widths, bus stops (location and amenities), crosswalks, and bike accommodations.6.6 Air QualityProject impacts affecting air quality were assessed according to whether the impact was significant. Inaccordance with the NAAQS, 480 the air quality impact assessment findings show that Alternatives B2 and B4 arenot expected to have a significant effect on air quality conditions locally, regionally, or statewide (seeSection 5.7, Air Quality, of Chapter 5, Environmental Consequences). Therefore, no specific air quality avoidance,minimization, or mitigation measures are required under NEPA or the General Conformity Rule. Other impactsrelated to air quality associated with the construction activities would be mitigated as described below inSection 6.19, Construction Period Mitigation. The construction period air quality mitigation was expanded basedon comments the FAA received on the DEIS.6.7 Historic, Architectural, Archaeological, and Cultural ResourcesMitigation is proposed for T.F. Green Airport Improvement Program impacts on historical, architectural,archaeological, and cultural resources that would have an adverse affect on a resource (a taking or alteration of480 CFR Title 40, Part 50.Chapter 6 – Mitigation 6-20 July 2011\\Mawatr\ev\09228.00\reports\FEIS_Final_July_2011\PVD_CH06_Mitigation_JUL_2011.doc
T.F. Green Airport Improvement ProgramEnvironmental Impact Statement and Final Section 4(f) Evaluationthe characteristics that make the resource eligible for listing in the NRHP). Alternative B4 would not causeimpacts on historical properties as a result of a significant increase in noise levels; however, Alternative B4would have an adverse effect on NRHP-listed and eligible historical resources. The FAA consulted with RIHPHC and the NITHPO to develop mitigation for impacts on historical, architectural, archaeological, andcultural resources.Mitigation measures for significant Project-related impacts to historical, architectural, archaeological, andcultural resources include:• Prepare archival documentation for the NRHP eligible airport historic district (including the HistoricDistrict, State Terminal, and Hangar No. 1) 481• Develop an interpretive display (physical and electronic) depicting the historical development of theAirport.• Prepare list of items from Hangar No. 1 for possible salvage and curation.• Define boundaries of Warwick Historical Cemetery Nos. 26, 76, 77, and 78, assess potential impacts, consultto protect (avoid or mitigate).• For Warwick Historical Cemetery 26 (WHC 26), potential mitigation could include laying the headstones flat with protection, relocating the headstones, or other relocation measures determined by the WarwickHistorical Cemetery Commission through permitting.• Conduct archaeological investigations as needed in areas of proposed direct impacts not previously surveyed (e.g., wetland mitigation areas, Realigned Main Avenue, etc.).Mitigation for other historical, architectural, archaeological, and cultural resources impacts includes:• RIAC continuing to consult with the Warwick Historical Cemetery Commission per Rhode Island GeneralLaw 23-18-11 et seq. and Chapter 12 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Warwick to address potentialimpacts to four historical cemeteries located within the area of direct impacts.When an undertaking results in a finding of adverse effect, Section 106 requires federal agencies to consult withthe appropriate SHPO and THPO and other consulting parties to develop and evaluate alternatives ormodifications that could avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects on historical properties. Section 5.8.8.1,Avoidance, and 5.8.8.2, Minimization, of Chapter 5, Environmental Consequences, discuss avoidance andminimization used to reduce impacts to historical properties, archaeological sites, and historical cemeteries.6.7.1 Mitigation for Significant Historical Resources Impacts for Alternative B4Table 6-8 presents the adverse effects to historical and archaeological resources for Alternative B4.481 The level of documentation, either HABS/HAER or RIHRA will be determined through consultation.Chapter 6 – Mitigation 6-21 July 2011\\Mawatr\ev\09228.00\reports\FEIS_Final_July_2011\PVD_CH06_Mitigation_JUL_2011.doc
