ramps will be in compliance with Federal Aviation Administration regulations. This Policy has been met. Policy 8: The County will encourage the continued use of underground pipelines and telecommunication lines that minimize the need for surface shipping and that are compatible with established land uses. Policy 9: The County encourages cooperation between energy and utility companies for the more efficient provision of energy and utilities. Policy 10: The County encourages (and often requires)joint use of trenches by different utilities where it would be safe and practical to do so. Several BPA towers are present within the project area; the towers and lines are part of the Big Eddy-Chemawa No. 1 line. No adverse impacts to the towers or transmission lines are anticipated as a result of implementing the Preferred Alternative. There are currently several underground utilities that will likely require relocation as part of Phase 1. Through the "value engineering" evaluation process, ODOT has identified the importance of prioritizing work to identify these utilities and coordinate with their respective owners to reduce the risk of delays in delivering the Phase 1 improvements. Consistent with the County's policies, ODOT will work with utility companies to relocate, and where possible and appropriate collocate, these facilities as part of roadway construction. These policies are met. 10.3.5 Development and Access Policies Policy 2: Transportation facilities should be developed and maintained in such a manner as to minimize negative impact to valuable soil, timber, water, scenic, or cultural resources. Natural resources were surveyed within the project study area and are explained in TAMP Section 2.4; inventories are detailed in Appendix E (Natural Resources Memorandum), Appendix F (Wetland and Waters Determination Memorandum), and Appendix J (Archaeologic Resources Memorandum). Findings under Statewide Planning Goals 5 explain that the Preferred Alternative is not anticipated to have an impact on historic or cultural resources. Findings under Statewide Planning Goal 6 document that water quality is expected to improve with proposed storm water treatment. Impacts to land resources, in particular EFU land, were evaluated as part of the TAMP existing conditions analysis (TAMP Chapter 2) and were a consideration during the alternative evaluation process (TAMP Chapter 4). This Policy is met. Policy 3: The County will consider and strive to minimize the negative impacts to surrounding land uses and communities in selection and implementation of transportation projects. 1-5:Aurora Donald Interchange(Exit 278)TAMP:Supporting Findings for Marion County Adoption 26
