Shelter is located behind sidewalk and away from pedestrian thoroughfare, but may have to be located in private property (in town) or on existing vegetation (in Park). Exact locations should be determined in fi eld to minimize impact.

Recommended stops do not take the place of private automobile parking where possible. Wide shoulders or RV parking spaces are utilized in some locations.

It is assumed that shelters and pedestrian areas are located out of the roadway and parking area, which means that some localized removal of vegetation or existing fences may be neccessary to construct a pedestrian area and shelter.

Alternatively, shelters could be located in the roadway, however this would likely require the removal of additional parking spaces.

Proposed bus stops where no curb currently exists may require additional infra-structure to accommodate wheelchairs entering and exiting bus. Ramps installed on a 40’ bus typically only extend far enough to meet a 6” concrete curb.

Shuttle Stop Locations

NOTES : Shuttle Stop Opportunities

1. Recommended stops are an easy walk to/from trailhead, but are typically not so close as to potentially overcrowd the trailhead with people waiting for or exiting the bus.

2. Recommended stops do not take the place of private automobile parking where possible. Wide shoulders or RV parking spaces are utilized in some locations.

3. It is assumed that shelters and pedestrian areas are located out of the roadway and parking area, which means that some localized removal of vegetation or existing fences may be neccessary to construct a pedestrian area and shelter.

Alternatively, shelters could be located in the roadway, however this would likely require the removal of additional parking spaces.

4. Final stop locations should be determined aft er more on-site testing to determine appropriate bus turning radii and egress and approach distances.

5. Depending on demand and routes, more than one bus loading zone may need to be provided and this may further reduce the number of parking spaces for private vehicles.

6. Proposed bus stops where no curb currently exists may require additional infrastructure to accomodate wheelchairs entering and exiting bus. Ramps installed on a 40’ bus typically only extend far enough to meet a 6” concrete curb.

7. See Appendix A Figure 1 for spatial requirements.

APPENDIX D

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Analysis

Draft Feasibility Study – APPENDIX D Arches National Park

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

There is broad scientific consensus that humans are changing the chemical composition of Earth’s atmosphere. Activities such as fossil fuel combustion, deforestation, and other changes in land use are resulting in the accumulation of trace greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as carbon dioxide (CO2), in our atmosphere. An increase in GHG emissions is believed to result in an increase in the Earth’s average surface temperature, which is commonly referred to as global warming or climate change. Climate change is expected to affect weather patterns, average sea level, ocean acidity, chemical reaction rates, precipitation rates, etc. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change best estimates are that the average global temperature rise between 2000 and 2100 could range from 0.6 degrees Celsius (°C) (with no increase in GHG emissions above year 2000 levels) to 4.0°C (with substantial increase in GHG emissions) (IPCC 2007). Even small increases in global temperatures could have considerable detrimental impacts on natural and human environments.

GHGs include water vapor, CO2, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, and several hydrocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons. Each GHG has an estimated Global Warming Potential (GWP), which is a function of its atmospheric lifetime and its ability to absorb and radiate infrared energy emitted from the Earth’s surface. A gas’s GWP provides a relative basis for calculating its Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (CO2e), which is a metric measure used to compare the emissions from various greenhouse gases based upon their GWP. Carbon Dioxide has a GWP of 1, and is therefore the standard to which all other GHGs are measured.

Arches efforts to reduce congestion in the park, and therefore overall GHG emissions, are designed to be in compliance with the park’s Transportation Implementation Plan and Environmental Assessment (NPS 2006a), and Executive Order 13514: Federal Leadership In Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance (Federal Register 2009), which requires agencies to measure, manage, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions toward agency-defined targets, including a 30 percent reduction in vehicle fleet petroleum use by 2020. Additionally, Executive Order 13423: Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management also sets as a goal for all federal agencies the improvement of energy efficiency and the "reduc[tion] of greenhouse gas emissions of the agency, through reduction of energy intensity by (i) 3 percent annually through the end of fiscal year 2015, or (ii) 30 percent by the end of fiscal year 2015, relative to the baseline to the agency's energy use in fiscal year 2003" (Federal Register 2007).

Grand County, which includes Arches National Park, is in attainment for all other criteria pollutants regulated under the Clean Air Act’s National Ambient Air Quality Standards. In 1977, Arches National Park was designated as a Class I air quality area, which requires the highest protection under the Clean Air Act (NPS 2006b). While major sources located in both Colorado and Utah, such as power plants, impact the park’s air quality, vehicle emissions are the biggest source of emissions within the park. The park contains air quality related values (AQRVs), including vegetation, wildlife, visibility, and night skies. Currently, visibility is the most sensitive AQRV within the park (NPS 2006b).

Therefore, in addition to reducing congestion and providing for a better visitor experience at Arches National Park, the pilot shuttle also aims to reduce the amount of GHGs emitted within the park to ensure the park retains its Class I status and to adhere to federal executive orders.

ARCHES CLIMATE FRIENDLY GOALS

Reduce overall emissions from private vehicles within the park by diverting 25% of visitor trips to the shuttle during the pilot project.

Draft Feasibility Study – APPENDIX D Arches National Park

Reexamine fuel and shuttle choices whenever shuttle procurement is reconsidered (either during the pilot project, or for long-term implementation) to determine if lower emission options are available.

Double emission reductions in long-term shuttle by expanding capacity to 50% of visitors and diverting additional private vehicle trips. Expanding capacity will also help the park achieve the 30% emissions reduction required by Executive Order 13423.

Consider limiting RV use within the park.

Implement idling restrictions to reduce emissions from shuttle.

ASSUMPTIONS

The Feasibility Study predicts that the shuttle would divert approximately 430 – 530 cars per day within the park by encouraging use of the shuttle. This GHG analysis assumes that each of these cars would have driven approximately 28 - 54 miles within the park, depending on their destinations. Based on the targeted visitor market segments, this analysis assumes that half of the riders would have visited only Balanced Rock and Windows, traveling approximately 28 miles total. The other half of shuttle riders would be visiting all main sections of the park (Windows, Delicate Arch, and Devil’s Garden), traveling 54 miles total. Using these assumptions, it is anticipated that 17,630 – 21,730 private vehicle miles would be eliminated within the park daily. Additional visitors, and therefore an additional reduction in private vehicle mileage, could be captured using the Hiker Express and Sunset shuttles, but for a conservative analysis, those numbers were not included in this report.

The pilot shuttle would run from mid-May through late-September, a total of 110 days each year.

The reduction in emissions from fewer private vehicles must be balanced against the emissions resulting from shuttle operations. The Feasibility Study analyzes several potential fuel types that the shuttle could use. The air modeling program used to determine the vehicle emission rates only provides numbers for standard diesel fuel. This analysis assumed clean diesel or low-sulfur diesel (15 parts per million sulfur content) and is used as a worst-case scenario. If cleaner fuels, like propane, are chosen for implementation, the reduction in GHG emissions could be greater.

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS

Using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) MOBILE6 air modeling program, private vehicle emission rates were determined for the average national fleet for the year 2013, the projected first year of the pilot shuttle. The emission rate for all vehicles takes into account the distribution of vehicle types. For instance, in 2013, it is estimated that 32 percent of vehicles on the road would be light duty gas vehicles, or passenger cars. Another 40 percent of vehicles would be light duty gas trucks, which includes pick-up trucks and sport utility vehicles. The remaining mix includes motorcycles as well as heavier duty vehicles, such as recreational vehicles that are commonly used by park visitors.

Overall, the average CO2 emission rate for private vehicles in 2013 is 558.65 grams per mile (g/mi).

MOBILE6 also provided the CO2 e mission rate for the shuttle bus, which falls under the classification of diesel transit and urban buses. The emission rate for the diesel shuttle bus would be 2,337.4 g/mi.

The Feasibility Study estimates that the entire shuttle system would run approximately 1,370 miles each day while reducing private vehicle miles driven by 17,630 – 21,730 miles per day.

The example calculation below shows how to use the emission rates to calculate the total tons of CO2 produced by each vehicle type:

(Daily Vehicle Miles Traveled)*(Days per Year)*(Emission Rate) = Total Emissions in Grams

Feasibility Study: Appendix D Arches National Park

(Emissions [g])*(435.59 g/lb)*(2000 lb/ton) = Total Emission in Tons

Using these calculations, the total GHG emissions from the shuttle and private vehicles are provide in table 1. Private vehicle emissions are estimated for both the high and low range of the trips diverted estimate.

Shuttle Bus 1,300 110 2,337.4 388.26

RESULTS

Using table 1, it is estimated that by diverting 430 - 530 personal vehicle trips daily, the park would eliminate 916.51 to 1,184.76 tons of CO2 during the months the shuttle is in operation. The shuttle itself, however, would produce 388.26 tons of CO2, assuming a worst-case scenario. Therefore, the total reduction in CO2 emissions within the park during operation of the pilot shuttle would range from 528.22 to 796.47 tons annually. With the implementation of cleaner fuels for the shuttle, the shuttle emissions would be expected to decreasing, increasing the overall emissions reduction within the park.

E. OTHER INFORMATION (Please answer the following questions/provide requested information.)

Are personnel preparing this form familiar with the site? X Yes No

Did personnel visit site? X Yes No (If yes, attach meeting notes re: when site visit took place, who attended, etc.) Meeting notes from Kick-off meeting attached.

Is the project in an approved plan such as a General Management Plan or an Implementation Plan with an accompanying NEPA document? Yes XNo If so, plan name The GMP explored the idea of a shuttle but deferred the planning effort. A 2006 Transportation EA approved the implementation of congestion management strategies.

Is the project still consistent with the approved plan? Yes No

(If no, you may need to prepare plan/EA or EIS.)

Is the environmental document accurate and up-to-date? Yes No

(If no, you may need to prepare plan/EA or EIS.)

FONSI ROD (Check one) Date approved

Are there any interested or affected agencies or parties? X Yes No

Did you make a diligent effort to contact them? X Yes No NA

Has consultation with all affected agencies or tribes been completed? X Yes No NA (If yes, attach additional pages re: consultations, including the name, dates, and a summary of comments from other agencies or tribal contacts.) Meetings with local Utah agencies have been on-going regarding the pilot shuttle.

Are there any connected, cumulative, or similar actions as part of the proposed action (e.g., other development projects in area or identified in GMP, adequate/available utilities to accomplish project)? Yes No (If yes, attach additional pages detailing the other actions.) projects not yet identified.

F. INSTRUCTIONS FOR DETERMINING APPROPRIATE NEPA PATHWAY

First, always check DO-12, section 3.2, “Process to Follow,” in determining whether the action is categorically excluded from additional NEPA analyses. Other sections within DO-12, including sections 2.9 and 2.10; 3.5; 4.5(G) and (G)(5); and 5.4(F), should also be consulted in determining the appropriate NEPA pathway. Complete the following tasks: conduct a site visit or ensure that staff is familiar with the site’s specifics; consult with affected agencies, and/or tribes, and interested public; and complete this environmental screening form.

If your action is described in DO-12, section 3.3, “CEs for Which No Formal Documentation is Necessary,” follow the instructions indicated in that section.

If your action is not described in DO-12, section 3.3, and IS described in section 3.4, AND you checked YES or identified “data needed to determine” impacts in any block in section D (Mandatory Criteria), this is an indication that there is potential for significant impacts to the human environment, therefore you must prepare an EA or EIS or supply missing information to determine context, duration, and intensity of impacts.

If your action is described in section 3.4 and NO is checked for all boxes in section D (Mandatory Criteria), AND there are either no effects or all of the potential effects identified in Section C (Resource Effects to Consider) are no more than minor intensity, usually there is no potential for significant impacts and an EA or EIS is not required. If, however, during internal scoping and further investigation, resource effects still remain unknown, or are at the minor to moderate level of intensity, and the potential for significant impacts may be likely, an EA or EIS is required.

In all cases, data collected to determine the appropriate NEPA pathway must be included in the administrative record.
