Figure 1. Local Roads Near Project Area Traffic will be greatest during the 12 week construction schedule. During construction, it is anticipated that 7 to 8 one ton construction trucks
will enter the site on a dai ly basis. Additionally, at the beginning of the project about 2 commercial haul trucks with trailers will access the site daily for the first week of construction
and the last week of construction should see a similar traffic pattern. On two different occasions during the project, a 90 ton crane wi ll be deployed, along with the support truck,
to make several lifts. To minimize impacts, Valerus has committed to the fo llowing: 1. Flagging wi ll be conducted during delivery of compressors, or any other activities that require
semis. The flagger would be positioned on the hi ll crest east of the existing driveway. 2. During construction, there would be safety signage placed 200 feet east of the existing driveway
entrance on CR 333. Signage would read, "Trucks entering roadway" or other
appropriate language would be used. Work signage would be adequate for gravel and concrete delivery (i.e., no flaggers would be required for those activities). 3. Oversize vehicle permits
would be required for any overweight or overlength vehicles. Once construction is complete, traffic will be reduced to about one construction one ton truck on a daily basis. In summary,
there would be minimal increased traffic from project implementation. The majority of traffic impacts would occur during the construction period. The proposed project will not increase
traffic by 20 percent on any County, State, or Federal roadway or intersection. The attached figure illustrates truck turnaround and access options for both primary and secondary access.
