The Project Leader is responsible for ensuring the following mitigations and stipulations are followed. The non-NPS entity will contact the NPS Project Leader if any of the mitigations and stipulations reference a specific phone number below. The Project Leader will contact the referenced office or individual and will advise the non-NPS entity.

Congress charged the NPS with managing the lands under its stewardship “in such manner and by such means as would leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations” (NPS Organic Act, 16 USC 1). As a result, NPS staff routinely evaluate and implement mitigation measures whenever conditions occur that could adversely affect the sustainability of national park system resources.

Mitigation is defined in the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR 1508.20) as:

• Avoiding the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action.

• Minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation.

• Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the affected environment.

• Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations during the life of the action.

• Compensating for the impact by replacing or providing substitute resources or environments.

The following mitigation measures were developed to minimize the degree and/or severity of adverse effects and would be implemented as appropriate during approved project activities. The NPS may need to obtain federal and state environmental permits and, as part of that process, additional mitigation measures could be required by other agencies.

Assessment of Effect

• If previously unknown archeological resources and/or human remains are discovered during construction, all work in the immediate vicinity (600 feet) of the discovery shall be halted until the resources are identified and documented and an appropriate mitigation strategy developed. Contact the Branch Chief of Cultural Resources (307-739-3671).

Assessment of Effect – Cultural Landscapes

• All vegetation modification, including tree removal, at National Register of Historic Places -listed or -eligible properties shall be reviewed and approved by the Section 106 specialists (as well as by wildlife and vegetation specialists).

Attachment 1.D.3 (10 pages)

• All work on or near historic buildings, structures, sites, and landscapes shall be conducted in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties in consultation with the Branch Chief of Cultural Resources (307-739-3671). Any deviation from the approved specifications must be submitted for further review.

Assessment of Effect – Historic Structures

• All work on or near historic buildings, structures, sites, and landscapes shall be conducted in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties in consultation with the Branch Chief of Cultural Resources (307-739-3671). Any deviation from the approved specifications must be submitted for further review.

• Consult with NPS cultural resource specialists or archaeologists in advance (generally 60 days) of any ground disturbing activities or work on or near buildings, structures, sites and landscapes eligible for or determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

• Inform all contractors and subcontractors of the penalties for illegally collecting artifacts or intentionally damaging archeological sites or historic properties.

Night Sky

• Project shall comply with NPS lighting guidelines to reduce impacts to the night sky and wildlife. This will include, but is not limited to, low-level lighting, minimized glare, downward focused light fixtures, and energy efficient light sources.

Park Operations & Mgmt – Aviation

• The following stipulation applies to all unmanned aircraft and aircraft managed by the Department of the Interior and Department of Agriculture in accordance with the Teton Interagency Aviation Management Plan. Coordinate all aircraft activities including unmanned aircraft with the Park's Interagency Aviation Officer (307-739-3339/5524) at least 30 days in advance. Flight requests or flight schedules should be submitted to the Aviation Officer by the requestor and be returned to the requestor if approved from Teton Interagency Dispatch. Flight requests or flight schedules for nonemergency missions need to be submitted allowing enough time for approval of project aviation safety plans, aircraft selection or procurement, and selection of aircraft management and necessary support personnel.

• The following stipulation applies to manned aircraft activities not directly managed by Teton Interagency Aviation and that require a special use permit or scientific research permit. For each day of activity where any type of aircraft is used the permit holder or aircraft operator shall contact Teton Interagency Dispatch (307-739-3630) prior to and at the end of the operation.

Park Operations & Mgmt – Construction General

• Hours of work may be determined by the park to avoid construction disturbance to visitors, park residents, or wildlife.

• The location of all potential utility lines in work areas shall be field located and marked prior to work to avoid disturbance conflict.

• Maintain a safe construction zone. Fence around open holes when personnel are not present and provide for a slope out of the hole such that wildlife trapped in the excavation may be able to escape.

• Control dust during construction by minimizing soil exposure, watering, and using other dust prevention methods.

• Dispose of construction and/or demolition debris (e.g., old water lines, appurtenances, water tanks, valves, packaging materials, trash) at appropriate areas designated by the park. When possible, debris will be disposed of at a materials recycling facility.

• All project zones will be kept trash free at all times.

• To minimize the amount of ground disturbance, staging and stockpiling areas will be located in previously disturbed sites, away from visitor use areas to the extent possible. All staging and stockpiling areas shall be returned to pre-construction conditions following project completion.

Parking of construction vehicles will be limited to these staging areas, existing roads, and previously disturbed areas.

• Identify and define construction zones with construction tape, snow fencing, or other material prior to any construction activity. Use the zone to confine activity to the minimum area required for construction. Construction activities, including material staging and storage, cannot occur beyond the construction zone fencing.

• A traffic control plan for use during construction as approved by the park will be developed and enforced to minimize disruption to visitors and park operations and to ensure safety of the public, park employees, and residents.

Park Operations & Mgmt - Communications

• Inform contractors (construction workers and supervisors) about the special sensitivity of park values, regulations, and appropriate housekeeping.

• Contractors will coordinate with park staff to minimize disruption of normal park activities.

• If the project or activity occurs within or immediately adjacent to park housing areas, coordinate with the park's Housing Program Manager (307-739-3577) at least one week before the project or activity is scheduled to begin and immediately after it is completed.

Park Operations & Mgmt - Utilities

• Notify Park Facilities Management Utility Systems staff (307-739-3366) prior to a contractor connecting to or repairing a water or sewer line in the park. Any repairs to potable water lines must be coordinated with the park, and any potable water line that loses pressure during construction will be required to be placed into Boil Order status until a sample can be collected and tested.

• Following construction, furnish the GRTE GIS Office (307-739-3493) with utility location information, including a shapefile using coordinates NAD83 UTM 12N, company name, and type and number of lines.

Soils, Topography, Geology – Construction

• Avoid rutting or excessive soil compaction caused by vehicles or equipment. Construction activities shall be restricted during saturated soil conditions or severe weather conditions to avoid damage to soils and vegetation. In the event of adverse weather conditions, the project leader will consult with the SRM Vegetation Branch (307-739-3678) to ensure that ground conditions are acceptable for project activities.

Soils, Topography, Geology – Disturbance

• To minimize the amount of ground disturbance, locate staging and stockpiling areas in previously disturbed sites to the extent possible. Return all staging and stockpiling areas to pre-construction conditions following construction.

Soils, Topography, Geology – Erosion Control

• To minimize soil loss/erosion at the project site, erosion control best management practices (BMPs) including protection measures such as sediment traps, silt fences, erosion check screens/filters, jute mesh, will be used if necessary, to prevent the loss of soil.

Soils, Topography, Geology – Topsoil

• Topsoil should be salvaged at the beginning of all ground disturbance activities by scraping the topsoil to the side prior to deeper digging. Topsoil refers to the uppermost layers of soil and includes fine particles, small roots, rocks, and cobbles. It is usually darker in color, and is the layer in which the majority of roots grow and beneficial microorganisms exist. It is usually the top 2-6 inches.

Conserving topsoil will minimize impacts to vegetation and help preserve valuable micro-organisms and the native seed bank.

• Store salvaged topsoil separately from other materials. Limit the height of topsoil stockpiles to 36 inches. Do not stockpile topsoil or subsoil within drip line of remaining trees. Excess soil will be stored only at approved locations.

• Replace topsoil and other excavated soils and rock in the proper order, cobble lowest, then subsoil, then topsoil. Use a trench box if one is needed to reduce disturbance. Spread topsoil as near to the original location as possible.

• During the final stages of project implementation, scarify and loosen compacted subsoils to a minimum depth of 12 inches prior to replacing the salvaged topsoil. Soil decompaction will be done with equipment that has ripping teeth, placed a maximum of 12 inches apart.

• Do not drive or operate equipment on newly replaced topsoil. Do not re-enter the project site once revegetation/restoration work has been initiated and/or completed.

Soundscapes-Idling

• To reduce noise and pollution emissions, construction equipment and all motor vehicles will not idle any longer than is necessary.

Soundscapes-Mufflers

• Ensure that motorized vehicles and equipment have properly functioning mufflers.

Vegetation

• Coordinate all project work with park vegetation specialists regarding invasive, non-native plant

(weed) treatments, revegetation requirements, costs, and scheduling. Contact the SRM Vegetation Branch (307-739-3678).

• Limit ground disturbance to the smallest area possible to reduce disturbance to soil and native plants and reduce the potential for the introduction and/or spread of non-native, invasive plant species.

• Plant survey for rare and/or sensitive species are required prior to ground disturbing activities and must be conducted during growing seasons when these species could be identified.

Vegetation – Exotic Plants

• Seed mixes used for revegetation in roadside corridors will be composed of native species and approved by SRM Vegetation Branch staff.

• Prior to project implementation, SRM Vegetation staff will conduct invasive, nonnative plant surveys in the project area. Invasive weed control measures will be implemented to monitor and mitigate impacts within the first 3 years (minimum) of construction.

• To reduce the threat of nonnative, invasive vegetation being introduced to the park, all imported material (i.e., sand, gravel, rock, rip-rap, etc.) must be obtained from a park approved or county weed district approved source. Teton County Weed and Pest has currently approved as weed-free the various Evans Construction pits in Teton County. If a new material source is requested, park vegetation staff will seek county-approved material source pits and/or perform a nonnative, invasive plant inspection.

• Material sources, including sand, gravel, rock, rip-rap, mulch, etc. that is not attained form a county or park approved weed-free material sources must be precooked (300 degrees) or washed to prevent spread on invasive weeds in the park.

Vegetation – Miscellaneous

• Vegetation beyond the estimated scope of disturbance shall not be damaged or removed without prior approval via the project documents or by park vegetation management staff.

• To facilitate revegetation and non-native, invasive plant management, provide the SRM Vegetation Branch (307-739-3678) via project documents, with an estimate of potential ground disturbance at least 4 weeks prior to work and with the dimensions of the disturbed area after the work is complete.

• Consider minimizing ground and vegetation disturbance by boring or other alternatives to trenching activities.

• Use wooden mats for vehicle and equipment access to the site to limit damage to existing vegetation.

• Avoid destruction of individuals or populations of sensitive plant species or alteration of their habitat when conducting ground disturbing activities. SRM vegetation staff will notify project managers of rare or sensitive plant species for project documents prior to initiation of activities.

• For roadside brush removal activities, parts under 3" in diameter may be "lopped and scattered" into adjacent forested vegetation so that it is 6 inches or less in depth measured immediately after treatment. If chipping, broadcast chips so that chip depth is less than 2 inches measured immediately after treatment.

Vegetation - Trees

• Preserve existing trees to the extent possible, and during trenching operations, avoid damaging the roots of nearby trees.

• Tree/ Slash Removal - When trees are felled as part of project right of way clearing, remove all tree parts greater than 3” in diameter from the site except those pieces (“slash”) needed for revegetation or reclamation of the disturbance. The limbs, tops, and miscellaneous residue left by forest thinning and pruning activities are commonly called slash.

• Tree/ Slash Removal - Tree parts (slash) under 3" in diameter (not chips) may be "lopped and scattered" into adjacent forested vegetation so that it is 6 inches or less in depth measured immediately after treatment. If the <3" slash is chipped, broadcast the chips so that chip depth is less than 2 inches measured immediately after treatment. Chips may also be removed from the park for other uses.

• Stumps resulting from tree removal shall be flush cut level with the ground and no higher than 2” as measured from the uphill side.

Vegetation – Weed/Seed Free

• If a material source does not have an approval for weed-free, or if a material source fails an inspection, then the material must be clean of weed seed materials and dirt debris before entering the park. That typically entails cooking material such as sand and gravel to 300 degrees F. For larger rock and rip-rap, the rock can be separated from smaller dirt materials, and washed prior to entering the park.

• All vehicles and equipment shall arrive at the job site in a condition free of mud, dirt, and plant material. A method such as pressure washing prior to transport will be needed to comply with this requirement. Prior to offloading of any equipment, inspection and verbal approval must be obtained from the park resource management representative or delegated representative. The spread of non-native, invasive plant species in the park is a serious concern, and no equipment will be allowed to offload or remain within the park if dirt or other contaminants with the potential to harbor seeds or other plant material is apparent.

Fish and Wildlife

• Work that includes influence or direct disturbance to a wetland or stream should not be conducted during fish spawning periods.
