Scope of Work and Task Descriptions
Amendment 1
September 30, 2021
For the purposes of this scope, it is assumed that the project will result in a
determination of No Adverse Effect to historic resources. MJ will prepare the draft
Section 106 Effect Memo for NHDOT’s use in acquiring signatures.
Hazardous Materials — SHA will conduct subsurface explorations to evaluate if asbestos
exists in soils that will be disturbed during construction. If these investigations identify
asbestos-containing soil, a project-specific Asbestos Disposal Site (ADS) Work Plan will
be prepared and submitted to DES for approval. The assumed ADS Work Plan will
include the information required by state asbestos regulations (Env-Sw 2100,) such as
contact information for the City, project description, schedule, summary of work, required
qualifications and training for project personnel, health and safety procedures for
handling of asbestos-contaminated soils during construction, and project notifications
and reporting. (see attached scope of work) The assumed ADS Work Plan, if needed,
will become part of the bid documents for the project. MJ will provide general oversight
of SHA’s schedule and work products and will review reports and findings prior to
submittal to the City and NHDOT.
Environmental Justice — An environmental justice analysis was completed in Phase 1.
MJ will incorporate the findings into the NEPA document.
Other: Other topics include the following:
o Impacts to land use, social and economic resources, and community facilities are
expected to be negligible and will not require analysis or mitigation.
o Invasive species populations and their dispersal will be addressed in general
terms.
o Construction impacts will be evaluated and described based upon the anticipated
temporary impacts to any natural resources or sensitive receptors.
NEPA Categorical Exclusion document — The NEPA Categorical Exclusion (CE) document will
include the following components:
Description of the proposed action
Purpose and Need Statement
Description of the project alternatives considered
Description of the coordination and public participation process
Description of the resources and environmental effects
Mitigation measures
Permit requirements
Summary of environmental commitments
Figures depicting resources and impacts within the study area
Supporting documents, technical studies when applicable and agency correspondence
It is assumed that the project will not require a Section 4(f) Evaluation. The Administrative Draft
NEPA CE will be submitted to the City for review. Once comments are received, the draft
document will be revised as needed and a Draft CE will be submitted to NHDOT for review. MJ
