DRAFTmaterial pipeline and pump stations, SCA, etc.) will be addressed in therelevant design documents.Scrub-shrub uplands1.5 Goals of the Habitat PlanThe overall purpose of this Habitat Plan is to develop a habitatrestoration and enhancement plan for remedial actions associated withthe Lake Bottom Remedy and with remedies and IRMs for adjacentHoneywell sites that complies with applicable state and federal laws andregulations, executive orders and policies for floodplains, wetlands andsurface waters. In addition, the implementation of the plan is intendedto provide ecological, recreational and aesthetic benefits.Specific objectives to achieve that goal are as follows:• Objective 1 - Provide a comprehensive analysis of the habitatsthat will be affected by the various remedial activities in thelakeshore, floodplains, littoral, profundal, and wetland areaswithin and adjacent to Onondaga Lake.• Objective 2 - Provide conceptual and/or preliminary design plansfor:− Habitat restoration for the ROD in areas of the lakeshore,floodplains, littoral, profundal, and wetland areas that willbe affected by the remedial activities for Onondaga Lake.− Habitat enhancement in Onondaga Lake as defined in theOnondaga Lake Bottom ROD.− Habitat restoration for the remedies and IRMs for adjacentHoneywell sites where remedial activities will affectOnondaga Lake lakeshore, floodplains, littoral, andwetland areas.The “dashed red line” identified in Figure 1.2 indicates the areas of thelake and adjacent shoreline that are addressed by the Habitat Plan.The Habitat Plan will coordinate and describe the habitat restorationdesign requirements for remedial impacts within the “dashed red line”.However, the alignment may be adjusted following approval byHoneywell and NYSDEC based on new information regarding the extentof remediation. While the areas outside (and/or upland of) this line arenot specifically addressed by this plan, the types and values of habitatsin these areas will be considered when evaluating and identifying habitatrestoration requirements within the area of study.The “dashed red line” is generally aligned with the lakeshore andencompasses several lakeshore wetlands. A general description of thealignment adjacent to/within each of the littoral SMUs is provided below:• SMU 1: The line is drawn along the alignment of the Willis IRMand Wastebed B/Harbor Brook IRM barrier walls.• SMU 2: The line is drawn along the alignment of the Semet/WillisIRM barrier wall.PARSONS | Remedial Design Elements for Habitat Restoration 25
