C Map Figures V-I and V-2 present the proposed action alternative and the alternative sites for the proposed project components. D. Environmental Impacts As stated in the Environmental Review, both the proposed action alternative and the alternative sites (Alternatives 2 and 3 above) have the same environmental consequences on resources and are addressed as one action. Therefore, both actions will have the same environmental impacts. E. Land Requirements The majority of the proposed project shall be constmcted in a thirty-foot (30') private easement adjacent to the County Roads. Both alternatives will need to have approximately the same amount of land for private easement. Landowners in the project area will be granting the property necessary for the private easement without fee. The two alternative locations of an approximate area of (100' x 100') feet for the water storage tank and booster pump station are on private propeliy and would require an easement. Alternative 3 would require two (2) separate sites for the water storage tank location and the booster pump station location, thereby increasing the land requirements for Alternative 3. F. Construction Problems It is not anticipated that any construction problems will arise for the majority of the proposed project. The Alternative 3 option that has the water line following the right of way (ROW) in CR M may be more difficult to constmct due to the rocky terrain. A geotechnical report will determine if in fact this is the case. Another potential problem with constmction is the discovery of previously unidentified cultural resources during constmction. If archeological sites are encountered during construction, all constmction work must be suspended while a site assessment is completed and an alternate route is selected to avoid the cultural resource. This has the potential to impact both alternatives equally and therefore does not favor one alternative or the other. Goodman Point Water Association - Preliminaty Engineering RepOli 13
