We were honored to be involved in partnership between the Missouri Department of Transportation, Sullivan County, Missouri, and the North Central Missouri Regional Water Commission to complete road and bridge improvements associated with a new reservoir that will deliver water to Sullivan and nine surrounding counties.
We assisted MoDOT by designing BUILD Grant improvements awarded to the project. These services included roadway, bridge, H&H, geotechnical work, field survey, environmental, and right-of-way assistance for four bridges on new alignments and multiple intersection safety improvements.
For the proposed East Locust Creek Reservoir project and BUILD roadway improvements, we worked with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to avoid and minimize impacts, and to develop a supplemental Environmental Impact Statement that avoids or minimizes impacts through the alternatives analysis. The NEPA documentation required a Categorical Exclusion 2 for a noise desktop review, farmland and wetland impacts, stream impacts, water quality, Section 106, and FEMA/SEMA buyout.
