2. DENTON TAP ROAD AT BETHEL ROAD
Existing Roadway Geometry
Denton Tap Road is a north/south six lane divided roadway which intersects with Bethel
Road. Bethel Road west of Denton Tap is a two lane undivided roadway. Bethel Road
east of Denton Tap is a four lane divided roadway. North, south and eastbound legs of
this intersection have exclusive left turn lanes. All corners have ADA ramps and cross-
walks are provide. Both are of paver construction. There is a bridge located just north of
the intersection.
Proposed Improvements
The proposed improvements is to add a southbound right turn lane. The added width to
the roadway will require that additional right-of-way be purchased. A handicap ramp will
be replaced and an existing storm sewer inlet will be relocated. The proposed
improvements are depicted in the attached Design Concept Drawing NCTCOG
#4061.000 (1 sheet).
Construction Costs
The 1996 Transportation Improvement Program identifies a total budget for PS&E, right-
of-way, TxDOT review and construction for this intersection of $30,000. A review of the
proposed improvements indicates that the programmed budget seems quest!onable.

S. SANDY LAKE ROAD AT MOORE
Existing Roadway Geometry
Sandy Lake Road is a east/west two lane undivided roadway. It intersects with Moore
Road a two lane undivided roadway. Moore Road south of the intersection flare out as
you are approaching from the south. Traffic buttons are arranged so there is a exclusive
left turn lane. Moore north of the intersection has an expanded cross section which last
about a 100 feet before narrowing to its typical cross-section. Pavers are in place for
future crosswalk both north and south of the intersection. The sidewalk along the south
east leg is set back from the roadway so that a roadside ditch may drain under existing
driveways.
Proposed Improvements
If the project is to remain in the CMAQ program the intersection limits will have to be
defined and the previous construction drawings modified to TxDOT standards.
There are major storm sewer, water and gas relocations that must be addressed
All intersection corners shall have handicap ramps installed to bring the intersection up
to ADA standards. The proposed improvements are depicted in the attached Design
Concept Drawing NCTCOG #3096.000 (1 sheet).
Construction Costs
The 1996 Transportation Improvement Program identifies a total budget for PS&E, right-
of-way, TxDOT review and construction for this intersection of $554,000. A review of the
The following items represent design issues associated with the proposed improvements
which need to be addressed.
· MacArthur at Beltline Road - Minimize dealings with railroad and possible design
problems in working around petroleum pipeline and fiber optic cable.
· Sandy Lake Road at Moore - The city has plans to lower Sandy Lake Road. This will
~,~ffect drainage and utility appurtenances. The intersection improvements must be
coordinated with the city's plans for widening Sandy Lake Road.
7. DESIGN EXCEPTIONS
During the CMAQ Program a number of design exceptions are anticipated to be
identified because of the urban nature of the proposed projects. The following. are
D:~GENERAL~G04CORR\G4-1OU'r'~COPPELL\1996~03.DOC 3
DRAFT
generic items which need to be brought to TxDOT's attention as it relates to the design
associated with this location.
· It is desired that existing driveways remain open, therefore some driveways will be
closer to the intersection than is recommended in the AASHTO Manual.
· Pavement widths, storage lengths and transitions may differ from the AASHTO
manual do to physical constraints in the Urban environment.
· Existing pavement at some intersections are made up partially or wholly of concrete
pavers. There is a question whether or not pavers will be allowed in the design of the
new improvements.

A. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED ACTION
The proposed action is a CMAQ intersection improvement for Denton Tap at
Bethel in the City of Coppert, Dallas County, Texas. Denton Tap Road is a
north/south six lane divided roadway which intersects with Bethel Road, Bethel
Road west of Denton Tap is a two lane undivided roadway. Bethel Road east of
Denton Tap is a four lane divided roadway. North, south, and eastbound legs of
this intersection have exclusive left turn lanes. All corners have ADA ramps and
crosswalks are provided. Both are of paver construction. There is a bridge
located just north of the intersection.
The proposed improvements are to add a southbound right turn lane. The added
width to the roadway will require that additional right-of-way be purchased. A
handicap ramp will be replaced and an existing storm sewer in~et will be
relocated. The proposed improvements are depicted in the attached Design
...~;I ~,.Concept Drawing NCTCOG #4061.000 (1 sheet, Exhibit 2).
~-~
,~ 3' The 1996 Transportation Improvement Program identifies a total budget for PS&E,
~, ! right-of-way, TxDOT review and construction for this intersection of $30,000. A
~ review of the proposed improvements indicates that the programmed budget
, seems questionable.
The purpose of this project is to mitigate traffic congestion and improve air quality
while enhancing the transportation system to carry existing and future traffic in
comfort and safety, and providing access to various land use activities.
No through lane capacity will be added. In order to accommodate these
improvements, the existing pavement will be widened. This will result in more
efficient traffic flow and signal operation. After rehabilitation, the roadway will be
striped as depicted on Exhibit 2.

DRAFT
B. NEED FOR ACTION
Denton Tap Road at Bethel Road serves traffic in the City of Coppert. Traffic
volume continues to increase as a result of area growth.
On May 20, 1989, a 24 hour traffic count for Denton Tap between Sandy Lake
Road and Bethel Road indicated 10,466 vehicles traveling in both directions. On
May 10, 1990, a 24 hour traffic count for Denton Tap between Bethel Road and
Beltline Road indicated 20,580 vehicles.
Traffic counts were researched from the NCTCOG and Dallas County Traffic
Count List compiled from January 1991 through December 1993 and released
January 24, 1994. These figures are intended to establish an order of magnitude
only.
A no-build option would increase delay experienced by motorists. The proposed
project will implement the latest design and safety standards.
C. ALTERNATIVES INCLUDING PROPOSED ACTION
SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS: Construction of the project will not have a
substantial effect on land use, growth rate, property values, or the local tax base.
During construction, there will be a short-term economic gain to the area due to
new job opportunities and a temporary boost to the local economy. Road users,
including occupants of abutting property, will receive long-term economic
benefits, resulting from lower vehicle operation costs and improved safety.
No residence or businesses will be displaced. No adverse impact on minority or
other specific groups is anticipated. Community cohesion and neighborhood
character will be unchanged. There will be no major change in access and
community circulation patterns.
Public utility adjustments will be minor. Emergency vehicle routing should be
possible at all times during construction and should be coordinated as needed
with the proper local agencies. Fire protection and other emergency services will
be improved due to the ease of travel afforded by completion of this proiect.
The completed project will not negatively affect bus or special transportation
services, nor will it impact bicycle and pedestrian travel. No navigation or airway
clearance problems are anticipated due to the nature of these improvements.
4(F) PROPERTIES: There are no Section 4(f) lands, such as publicly owned
parks, recreation areas, or wildlife and waterfowl refuges, located within the
project area.
There are no known historical or archaeological sites. Since additional right-of-
way is required, a TxDOT cultural resources review will be necessary.

D :",PROJ EC~P05 ENVIR\4061.000XB ETH L_R P. DOC
DRAFT
Endorsement by the State Historic Preservation officer should be obtained by
TxDOT prior to letting the construction contract.
AESTHETIC CONSIDERATIONS: Aesthetic values will be emphasized. It is a
TxDOT policy to build visually pleasing travel ways, coupling beauty with
functional capacity. The aesthetic effect of this project is anticipated to be equal
to or better than that of the existing roadway.
WATER IMPACTS: The project will not adversely affect water quality or public
water supplies.
The project will not affect land or water uses within an area covered by a State
Coastal Zone Management Program; nor will it impact coastal barrier resources.
There are no variable streams. Coordination with the Coast Guard will not be
required. The project does not impact any present, proposed, or potential unit of
the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
During construction of the proposed roadway, the surface area of erosive soils
that are exposed at any given time should be limited.
The specification "Temporary Erosion, Sediment, and Water Pollution Control"
included in all TxDOT construction contracts, requires that temporary pollution
control provisions be coordinated with permanent soil erosion control measures to
assure maximum attainable erosion control.
Since this project will not disturb more than five acres, TxDOT will not be required
to comply with the EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System General
Permit for Industrial Activities.
FLOOD IMPACTS: There are no flood plains within the project limits.
Coordination with the Federal Emergency Management Agency will not be
required. There will be no effect on the status of the National Flood Insurance
Program and no additional need for floodway or flood plain ordinance
amendments.
WETLAND IMPACTS: No wetlands will be involved in the proposed project
construction, nor will there be any adverse impact on any adjacent wetlands.
Corps of Engineers coordination will not be required.
PRIME AND UNIQUE FARMLAND IMPACTS: There are no farmlands within the
project limits. The project is in an urban area.
PLANT AND WILDLIFE IMPACTS: There will be no major impacts on plant life,
fish, or wildlife. No impacts on threatened or endangers species are anticipated.
AIR QUALITY IMPACTS: This project does not add through lane capacity. An
improvement in traffic flow and signal efficiency can be expected from
improvements at Denton Tap Road and Bethel Road. It can be expected there
will be a reduction of vehicle emissions. This intersection improvement is

identified by the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) in the
1995 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). This improvement was coded
by NCTCOG as project 4061.000 and is estimated to reduce .58 kg (1.28
pounds) per day of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions in 2005.
Topography and meteorology will not seriously restrict dispersion of air pollutants.
TxDOT reports that included in this project's contract will be the TxDOT standard
specification for construction which requires the contractor to be familiar and
comply with all federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations which
affect the conduct of work.
During the construction phase, there will be a potential for short-term adverse
effects on air quality. Compliance with the specifications should be strictly
administered for all dust producing aspects of construction operations.
TxDOT reports that control of particulate matter emanating from various
construction activities will be in accordance with regulations set by the Texas
Natural Resource Conservation Commission. To minimize exhaust emissions,
contractors will be required to use emission control devices and limit unnecessary
idling of construction vehicles.
NOISE IMPACTS: This project does not add through lane capacity. No major
noise impacts are anticipated. It is not possible to predict levels of construction
noise at a particular location. Heavy machinery, the major source of construction
noise, moves constantly in unpredictable patterns. Construction activity normally
occurs only during daylight hours when occasional loud noises are more
tolerable, Because of the relatively short-term exposure periods, extended
disruption of normal activities is unlikely. The plans and specifications should
require the contractor to make every reasonable effort to minimize construction
noise. This will be done through abatement measures such as work-hour controls
and maintenance of muffler systems.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS IMPACT: There is no known hazardous material site
within the scope of this project and reported to the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (US F:PA) and/or Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission
(TNRCC). Exhibit 3 shows the location of other area sites of interest.
CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS: There will be a short-term adverse impact during the
construction period due to grading operations and the use of heavy equipment
required by such activities. Every effort should be made to minimize possible
adverse effects.
D. ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS
Construction letting and oversight is beyond the scope of work for the PM/E, This
EA assumes that applicable federal, state, and local requirements and worker

Preliminary
Environmental Assessment

City of Coppell
Dallas County, Texas
NCTCOG Project 4065.000
A. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED ACTION
e proposed action is a CMAQ intersection improvement for MacArthur
oulevard at Beltline Road in the City of Coppell, Dallas County, Texas. Beltline
Road is an east/west six lane divided roadway with exclusive left turn lanes and
an eastbound right turn lane. Beltline intersects MacArthur which is a four lane
divided roadway with exclusive left turn lane On the northern leg and a five lane
divided road ay~tb_dual left turn lanes on the south leg. The northern leg of
The proposed improvements are to add a southbound right turn lane.A~The added~ja~t
width to the roadway will require that additional right-of-way be purchased. Part
ay requirements will be from the .railroad. Handicap ramps will be
constructed at the southwest and northwest corner of the intersection. The
railroad crossing will have to be widened and crossing arms will have to be
relocated along with other safety equipment. The property west of the
improvement slopes away from the existing roadway requiring a retaining wall or
additional property for slope easements to be obtained. Utilities of mention are a
major petroleum line and fiber optic cable. Any sidewalks disturbed by the
construction will have to be replaced. The proposed improvements are depicted
in the attached Design Concept Drawing NCTCOG #4065.000 (1 sheet, Exhibit 2).
The 1996 Transportation Improvement Program identifies a total budget for PS&E,
right-of-way, TxDOT review and construction for this intersection of $90,000. A
review of the proposed improvements indicate that the programmed budget
seems adequate..
The purpose of this project is to mitigate traffic congestion and improve air quality
while enhancing the transportation system to carry existing and future traffic in
comfort and safety, and providing access to various land use activities.
No through lane capacity will be added. In order to accommodate these
improvements, the existing pavement will be widened. This will result in more
efficient signal operation. After rehabilitation, the roadway will be striped as
depicted on Exhibit 2.

B. NEED FOR ACTION
MacArthur Boulevard at Beltline Road serves traffic in the City of Coppell. Traffic
volume continues to increase as a result of area growth.
On May 22, 1992, a 24 hour traffic count for Beltline Road indicated 11,695
vehicles traveling in both directions between Allen Road and MacArthur
Boulevard. Existing traffic counts for southbound MacArthur were not available
·
Traffic counts were researched from the NCTCOG and Dallas County Traffic
Count List compiled from January 1991 through December 1993 and released
January 24, 1994. These figures are intended to establish an order of magnitude
only.
A no-build option would increase delay experienced by motorists. The proposed
project will implement the latest design and safety standards.
C. ALTERNATIVES INCLUDING PROPOSED ACTION
SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS: Construction of the project will not have a
substantial effect on land use, growth rate, property values, or the local tax base.
During construction, there will be a short-term economic gain to the area due to
new job opportunities and a temporary boost to the local economy. Road users,
including occupants of abutting property, will receive long-term economic
benefits, resulting from lower vehicle operation costs and improved safety.
No residence or businesses will be displaced. No adverse impact on minority or
other specific groups is anticipated. Community cohesion and neighborhood
character will be unchanged. There will be no major change in access and
community circulation patterns.
Public utility adjustments will be minor. Emergency vehicle routing should be
possible at all times during construction and should be coordinated as needed
with the proper local agencies. Fire protection and other emergency services will
be improved due to the ease of travel afforded by completion of this project.
The completed project will not negatively affect bus or special transportation
services, nor will it impact bicycle and pedestrian travel. No navigation or airway
clearance problems are anticipated due to the nature of these improvements.
However, coordination should be anticipated with the railroad which parallels
north of Beltline Road.
4(F) PROPERTIES: There are no Section 4(f) lands, such as publicly owned
parks, recreation areas, or wildlife and waterfowl refuges, located within the
project area.

DRAFT
There are no known historical or archaeological sites. Since additional right-of-
way is required, a TxDOT cultural resources review will be necessary.
Endorsement by the State Historic Preservation officer should be obtained by
TxDOT prior to letting the construction contract.
AESTHETIC CONSIDERATIONS: Aesthetic values will be emphasized. It is a
TxDOT policy to build visually pleasing travel ways, coupling beauty with
functional capacity. The aesthetic effect of this project is anticipated to be equal
to or better than that of the existing roadway.
WATER IMPACTS: The project will not adversely affect water quality or public
water supplies.
The project will not affect land or water uses within an area covered by a State
Coastal Zone Management Program; nor will it impact coastal barrier resources.
There are no variable streams. Coordination with the Coast Guard will not be
required. The project does not impact any present, proposed, or potential unit of
the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
During construction of the proposed roadway, the surface area of erosive soils
that are exposed at any given time should be limited.
The specification "Temporary Erosion, Sediment, and Water Pollution Control"
included in all TxDOT construction contracts, requires that temporary pollution
control provisions be coordinated with permanent soil erosion control measures to
assure maximum attainable erosion control.
Since this project will not disturb more than five acres, TxDOT will not be required
to comply with the EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System General
Permit for Industrial Activities.
FLOOD IMPACTS: There are no flood plains within the project area. Coordination
with the Federal Emergency Management Agency will not be required. There will
be no effect on the status of the National Flood Insurance Program and no
additional need for floodway or flood plain ordinance amendments.
WETLAND IMPACTS: No wetlands will be involved in the proposed project
construction, nor will there be any adverse impact on any adjacent wetlands.
Corps of Engineers coordination will not be required.
PRIME AND UNIQUE FARMLAND IMPACTS: There are no farmlands within the
project limits. The project is in an urban area.
PLANT AND WILDLIFE IMPACTS: There will be no major impacts on plant life,
fish, or wildlife. No impacts on threatened or endangers species are anticipated.
AIR QUALITY IMPACTS: This project does not add capacity. An improvement in
traffic flow and signal efficiency can be expected from these improvements at

MacArthur Boulevard and Beltline Road. It can be expected there will be a
reduction of vehicle emissions. This intersection improvement is identified by the
North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) in the 1995
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). This improvement was coded by
NCTCOG as project 4065 and is estimated to reduce .87 kg (1.93 pounds) per
day of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions in 2005.
Topography and meteorology will not seriously restrict dispersion of air pollutants.
TxDOT reports that included in this project's contract will be the TxDOT standard
specification for construction which requires the contractor to be familiar and
comply with all federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations which
affect the conduct of work.
During the construction phase, there will be a potential for short-term adverse
effects on air quality. Compliance with the specifications should be strictly
administered for all dust producing aspects of construction operations.
TxDOT reports that control of particulate matter emanating from various
construction activities will be in accordance with regulations set by the Texas
Natural Resource Conservation Commission. To minimize exhaust emissions,
contractors will be required to use emission control devices and limit unnecessary
idling of construction vehicles.
NOISE IMPACTS: This project does not add through lane capacity. No major
noise impacts are anticipated. It is not possible to predict levels of construction
noise at a particular location. Heavy machinery, the major source of construction
noise, moves constantly in unpredictable patterns. Construction activity normally
occurs only during daylight hours when occasional loud noises are more
tolerable. Because of the relatively short-term exposure periods, extended
disruption of normal activities is unlikely. The plans and specifications should
require the contractor to make every reasonable effort to minimize construction
noise. This will be done through abatement measures such as work-hour controls
and maintenance of muffler systems.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS IMPACT: There is one known hazardous material site
(a gasoline service station) located at the subject intersection but lies outside the
anticipated improvement for this project. This site is reported to the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and/or Texas Natural Resource
Conservation Commission (TNRCC). Exhibit 3 shows the location of this and
other sites of interest.
CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS: There will be a short-term adverse impact during the
construction period due to grading operations and the use of heavy equipment
required by such activities. Every effort should be made to minimize possible
adverse effects.

D. ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS
Construction letting and oversight is beyond the scope of work for the PM/E. This
EA assumes that applicable federal, state, and local requirements and worker
protection will be dealt with in the construction contract and followed by
contractor personnel.
The measurements stated in either International System of units or English units
are to be regarded as standard. Within the text, English units are shown in
parenthesis. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents;
therefore, each system must be used independently of the other.
Traffic volume counts are intended to help establish an order of magnitude and
are not intended for planning or design.
The results of this assessment are based on the attached concept design,
observations made the day of the assessment, and available information at that
time. Changes to the concept design may alter the findings. Third party
information relied upon in this study has not been researched further for
accuracy.
Subsurface exploration or chemical screening of soil and groundwater beneath
the site was not performed in this study. No statement of scientific certainty can
be made regarding latent subsurface conditions which may be the result of on-
site or off-site sources.
E. BASIS FOR DETERMINATION OF SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND
ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE
The engineering, social, economic, and environmental investigations conducted
thus far indicate that this proposed project qualifies under the criteria as a
Programmatic Categorical Exclusion. Significant environmental effects are not
expected to occur.

NCTCOG Project 4066.000
A. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED ACTION
The proposed action is a CMAQ intersection improvement for Denton Tap Road
at Wrangler in the City of Coppell, Dallas County, Texas. Denton Tap Road is a
undivided roadway. Concrete pavers are used to delineate pedestri ~,i//~
crosswalks. ~iz,.~.~! ~,~la
The proposed improvement is to add a southbound right turn lane. The ad d ' ~~.
ppurtenances will need to be adjusted. The proposed improvements re "~
ose of this projeot is to mitigate traffio oongestion and improve air quali~
while enhanoing the transportation system to oar~ existing and future traffio in
comfo~ and safety, and providing access to various land use activities.
No through lane capaoity will be added. In order to acoommodate these
improvements, the existing pavement will be widened. This will result in more
effioient traffic flow and signal operation. A~er rehabilitation. the roadway will be
striped as depicted on Exhibit 2.
B. NEED FOR ACTION
Denton Tap Road at Wrangler serves traffic in the City of Coppell. Traffic volume
continues to increase as a result of area growth.

This portion of Denton Tap Road is currently signed Beltline Road. On May 22,
1992, a 24 hour traffic count for Beltline Road (formerly Denton Tap Road)
indicated 8,123 vehicles traveling southbound between Hackberry Road and
Lakeshore Drive.
On May 27, 1992, a 24 hour traffic count for Beltline Road (formerly Denton Tap
Road) indicated 8,783 vehicles traveling northbound between Hackberry Road
and Lakeshore Drive.
Traffic counts were researched from the NCTCOG and Dallas County Traffic
Count List compiled from January 1991 through December 1993 and released
A no-build option would increase delay experienced by motorists. The proposed
project will implement the latest design and safety standards.
C. ALTERNATIVES INCLUDING PROPOSED ACTION
SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS: Construction of the project will not have a
substantial effect on land use, growth rate, property values, or the local tax base.
During construction, there will be a short-term economic gain to the area due to
new job opportunities and a temporary boost to the local economy. Road users,
including occupants of abutting property, will receive long-term economic
benefits, resulting from lower ve~hicle operation costs and improved safety.
No residence or businesses will be displaced. No adverse impact on minority or
other specific groups is anticipated. Community cohesion and neighborhood
character will be unchanged. There will be no major change in access and
community circulation patterns.
Public utility adjustments will be minor. Emergency vehicle routing should be
possible at all times during construction and should be coordinated as needed
with the proper local agencies. Fire protection and other emergency services will
be improved due to the ease of travel afforded by completion of this project.
The completed project will not negatively affect bus or special transportation
services, nor will it impact bicycle and pedestrian travel. No navigation or airway
clearance problems are anticipated due to the nature of these improvements.
4(F) PROPERTIES: There are no Section 4(f) lands, such as publicly owned
parks, recreation areas, or wildlife and waterfowl refuges, located within the
project area.
There are no known historical or archaeological sites. Since additional right-of-
way is required, a TxDOT cultural resources review will be necessary.

D:'%PROJECT~05ENVIRV,066.000~WRANGLER.DOC
DRAFT
Endorsement by the State Historic Preservation officer should be obtained by
TxDOT prior to letting the construction contract.
AESTHETIC CONSIDERATIONS: Aesthetic values will be emphasized. It is a
TxDOT policy to build visually pleasing travel ways, coupling beauty with
functional capacity. The aesthetic effect of this project is anticipated to be equal
to or better than that of the existing roadway.
WATER IMPACTS: The project will not adversely affect water quality or public
water supplies.
The project will not affect land or water uses within an area covered by a State
Coastal Zone Management Program; nor will it impact coastal barrier resources.
There are no variable streams. Coordination with the Coast Guard will not be
required. The project does not impact any present, proposed, or potential unit of
the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
During construction of the proposed roadway, the surface area of erosive soils
that are exposed at any given time should be limited.
The specification "Temporary Erosion, Sediment, and Water Pollution Control"
included in all TxDOT construction contracts, requires that temporary pollution
control provisions be coordinated with permanent soil erosion control measures to
assure maximum attainable erosion control.
Since this project will not disturb more than five acres, TxDOT will not be required
to comply with the EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System General
Permit for Industrial Activities.
FLOOD IMPACTS: There are no flood plains within the project area. Coordination
with the Federal Emergency Management Agency will not be required. There will
be no effect on the status of the National Flood Insurance Program and no
additional need for floodway or flood plain ordinance amendments.
WETLAND IMPACTS: No wetlands will be involved in the proposed project
construction, nor will there be any adverse impact on any adjacent wetlands.
Corps of Engineers coordination will not be required.
PRIME AND UNIQUE FARMLAND IMPACTS: There are no farmlands within the
project limits. The project is in an urban area.
PLANT AND WILDLIFE IMPACTS: There will be no major impacts on plant life,
fish, or wildlife. No impacts on threatened or endangers species are anticipated.
AIR QUALITY IMPACTS: This project does not add through lane capacity. An
improvement in traffic flow and signal efficiency can be expected from
improvements at Denton Tap Road and Wrangler. It can be expected there will
be a reduction of vehicle emissions. This intersection improvement is identified
by the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) in the 1995
Denton Tap Road at Wrangler 3

DRAFT
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). This improvement was coded by
NCTCOG as project 4066 and is estimated to reduce .58 kg (1.28 pounds) per
day of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions in 2005.
Topography and meteorology will not seriously restrict dispersion of air pollutants.
TxDOT reports that included in this project's contract will be the TxDOT standard
specification for construction which requires the contractor to be familiar and
comply with all federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations which
affect the conduct of work.
During the construction phase, there will be a potential for short-term adverse
effects on air quality. Compliance with the specifications should be strictly
administered for all dust producing aspects of construction operations.
TxDOT reports that control of particulate matter emanating from various
construction activities will be in accordance with regulations set by the Texas
Natural Resource Conservation Commission. To minimize exhaust emissions,
contractors will be required to use emission control devices and limit unnecessary
idling of construction vehicles.
NOISE IMPACTS: This project does not add through lane capacity. No major
noise impacts are anticipated. It is not possible to predict levels of construction
noise at a particular location. Heavy machinery, the major source of construction
noise, moves constantly in unpredictable patterns. Construction activity normally
occurs only during daylight hours when occasional loud noises are more
tolerable. Because of the relatively short-term exposure periods, extended
disruption of normal activities is unlikely. The plans and specifications should
require the contractor to make every reasonable effort to minimize construction
noise. This will be done through abatement measures such as work-hour controls
and maintenance of muffler systems.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS IMPACT: There are no known hazardous material sites
located at the subject intersection and reported to the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (:US EPA) and/or Texas Natural Resource Conservation
Commission (TNRCC). Exhibit 3 shows the location of other sites in the area of
interest.
CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS: There will be a short-term adverse impact during the
construction period due to grading operations and the use of heavy equipment
required by such activities. Every effort should be made to minimize possible
adverse effects.
D. ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS
Construction letting and oversight is beyond the scope of work for the PM/E. This
EA assumes that applicable federal, state, and local requirements and worker

protection will be dealt with in the construction contract and followed by
contractor personnel.
The measurements stated in either International System of units or English units
are to be regarded as standard. Within the text, English units are shown in
parenthesis. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents;
therefore, each system must be used independently of the other.
Traffic volume counts are intended to help establish an order of magnitude and
are not intended for planning or design.
The results of this assessment are based on the attached concept design,
observations made the day of the assessment, and available information at that
time. Changes to the concept design may alter the findings. Third party
information relied upon in this study has not been researched further for
accuracy.
Subsurface exploration or chemical screening of soil and groundwater beneath
the site was not performed in this study. No statement of scientific certainty can
be made regarding latent subsurface conditions which may be the result of on-
site or off-site sources.
E. BASIS FOR DETERMINATION OF SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND
ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE
The engineering, social, economic, and environmental investigations conducted
thus far indicate that this proposed project qualifies under the criteria as a
Programmatic Categorical Exclusion. Significant environmental effects are not
expected to occur.

A. DEICRIPTION OF PROPOSED ACTION
The proposed action is a CMAQ intersection improvement for Sandy Lake Road
at Moore in the City of Coppell, Dallas County, Texas. Sandy Lake Road is an
east/west two lane undivided roadway. It intersects with Moore Road a two lane
undivided roadway. Moore Road south of the intersection flares out as you are
approaching from the south. Traffic buttons are arranged so there is an exclusive
left turn lane. North of the intersection Moore Road has an expanded cross
section which extends about 100 feet before narrowing to its typical cross-
section. Pavers are in place for future crosswalks both north and south of the
intersection. The sidewalk along the southeast leg is set back from the roadway
so that a roadside ditch may drain under existing driveways.
Currently, Raidy and Associates have designed this intersection as part of the
Sandy Lake Road widening project.
if the project is to remain in the CMAQ program, the intersection limits will have to
be defined and the previous construction drawings modified to TxDOT standards.
There are major storm sewer, water and gas relocations that must be addressed.
All intersection corners shall have handicap ramps installed to bring the
intersection up to ADA standards. The proposed improvements are depicted in
the attached Design Concept Drawing NCTCOG #3096.000 (1 sheet, Exhibit 2).
The 1996 Transportation Improvement Program identifies a total budget of PS&E,
right-of-way, TxDOT review and construction for this intersection of $554,000. A
review of the proposed improvements indicates that the programmed budget
seems questionable.---- ~ ~ c~.,,~e..,~,~'T~po~r'
The purpose of this project is to mitigate traffic congestion and improve air quality
while enhancing the transportation system to carry existing and future traffic in
comfort and safety, and providing access to various land use activities.
Jrr, v~ '~' ~ No through lane capacity will be added. In order to accommodate these
improvements, the existing pavement will be widened. This will result in more
efficient signal operation. After rehabilitation, the roadway will be striped as
depicted on Exhibit 2.

B. NEED FOR ACTION
Sandy Lake Road at Moore serves traffic in the City of Coppell. Traffic volume
continues to increase as a result of area growth.
On May 20, 1986, a 24 hour traffic count for Sandy Lake Road indicated 4,482
vehicles traveling between Denton Tap and Moore Road. On December 13, 1991
a 24 hour traffic count for Sandy Lake Road between the same intersecting
Streets indicated 11,443 vehicles traveling in both direction .s~-- ~.~~~~-~
Traffic counts were researched from the NCTCOG and Dallas County Traffic
Count List compiled from January 1991 through December 1993 and released
January 24, 1.994. These figures are intended to establish an order of magnitude
only.
A no-build option would increase delay experienced by motorists. The proposed
project will implement the latest design and safety standards.
C. ALTERNATIVES INCLUDING PROPOSED ACTION
SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS: Construction of the project will not have a
substantial effect on land use, growth rate, property values, or the local tax base.
During construction, there will be a short-term economic gain to the area due to
new job opportunities and a temporary boost to the local economy. Road users,
including occupants of abutting property, will receive long-term economic

No residence or businesses will be displaced. No adverse impact on minority or
other specific groups is anticipated. Community cohesion and neighborhood
character will be unchanged. There will be no major change in access and
community circulation patterns.
Public utility adjustments may be major due to future plans for Sandy Lake Road
and underlying water lines. Emergency vehicle routing should be possible at all
times during construction and should be coordinated as needed with the proper
local agencies. Fire protection and other emergency services will be improved
due to the ease of travel afforded by completion of this project.

construction activities will be in accordance with regulations set by the Texas
Natural Resource Conservation Commission. To minimize exhaust emissions,
contractors will be required to use emission control devices and limit unnecessary
idling of construction vehicles. ' .-/' ~ . ~.%.~
NOISE IMPACTS: This project does not add through lane capacityJ'c~'~'~ No major
noise impacts are anticipated. It is not possible to predict levels of construction
noise at a particular location. Heavy machinery, the major source of construction
noise, moves constantly in unpredictable patterns. Construction activity normally
occurs only during daylight hours when occasional loud noises are more
tolerable. Because of the relatively short-term exposure periods, extended
disruption of normal activities is unlikely. The plans and specifications should
require the contractor to make every reasonable effort to minimize construction
noise. This will be done through abatement measures such as work-hour controls
and maintenance of muffler systems.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS IMPACT: There is one known hazardous material site
within the scope of this project and reported to the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (US EPA) and/or Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission
(TNRCC). Exhibit 2 shows the location of this leaking underground storage tank
site at 600 Sandy Lake Road. Exhibit 3 reporrs details of this UST installation.
CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS: There will be a short-term adverse impact during the
construction period due to grading operations and the use of heavy equipment
required by such activities. Every effort should be made to minimize possible
adverse effects.

D. ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS
Construction letting and oversight is beyond the scope of work for the PM/E. This
EA assumes that applicable federal, state, and local requirements and worker
protection will be dealt with in the construction contract and followed by
contractor personnel.
The measurements stated in either International System of units or English units
are to be regarded as standard. Within the text, English units are shown in
parenthesis. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents;
therefore, each system must be used independently of the other.
Traffic volume counts are intended to help establish an order of magnitude and
are not intended for planning or design.
The results of this assessment are based on the attached concept design,
observations made the day of the assessment, and available information at that
time. Changes to the concept design may alter the findings. Third party
information relied upon in this study has not been researched further for
aoc u racy.
Subsurface exploration or chemical screening of soil and groundwater beneath
the site was not performed in this study. No statement of scientific certainty can
be made regarding latent subsurface conditions which may be the result of on-
site or off-site sources.
E. BASIS FOR DETERMINATION OF SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND
ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE
The engineering, social, economic, and environmental investigations conducted
thus far indicate that this proposed project may have significant costs associated
with utility relocation. If these potential costs are defined and do not significantly
detract from the objectives of the CMAQ program, this location may qualify under
the criteria as a Programmatic Categorical Exclusion subject also, to a
determination of the extent of subsurface soil impacted by the adjacent leaking
gasoline service station.
