2. 10 Approximately 150 to 200 feet of Parkovash Avenue and/or Iroquois Street, where they meet North Side Drive, may be used by the contractor for temporary storage areas. Additionally, the south side of North Side Drive may be used for construction access. The contractor would be required to maintain vehicle access for residents of North Side Drive at all times. The contractor also will be required to provide equipment access to Leeper Park Island since the existing bridge is suitable only for light duty use. 2.11 Miscellaneous Proiect Details: The proposed constriction of bank protection at three sites along the St. Joseph River, South Bend, Indiana, may require construction of one or more temporary structures, temporary placement of clean construction material, site access, or temporary work and storage instead of, or in addition to, those noted above. All temporary facilities would be at USACE-approved locations (upland or in -water), outside of any wetlands, areas known to contain Federal or state protected species or their critical habitat, or properties listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places or state -listed properties. 2.12 The type and location of temporary structures and/or construction aids cannot be determined at this time, since they are incidental to the work being performed. Examples include turnarounds, work and storage areas, access ramps, and office facilities. Such structures would include appropriate precautionary measures to prevent erosion and sedimentation or other undesirable environmental impacts. Temporary facilities would be within project boundaries or rights-of-way and would be removed when no longer needed, and the sites restored upon project completion. 2.13 Some variation from the project as described may occur with respect to sequence of activities, method of operation, or design details as a result of unanticipated design improvements, site conditions, or cost-saving measures. Any variations that would result in. significant changes to either the overall project design or environmental impact would be further evaluated under the National Environmental Policy Act. 2.14 Future, in-kind, in-place maintenance and repair actions may be conducted as necessary to prevent significant deterioration of the'structures over time. 3.0 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEOUENCES 3.1 Environmental review of the proposed riverbank protection project indicates that it would not result in significant adverse environmental effects. Nor would it be expected to result in any significant cumulative or long-term adverse environmental effects. Adverse effects would be minor, including short-term noise and air emissions from equipment operation, temporary traffic r dit F ctin localized displacement of fish local iraffc di'verS10nS, tcmpo�ar'y �Lirbiui:y Dili construction, lieu ��. . and wildlife, localized clearing of vegetation, and destruction of bottom -dwelling organisins in the immediate work area.
