HISTORIC PROPERTIES

A. DESCRIPTION OF UNDERTAKING

1. Park: Canaveral National Seashore

2. Project Description:

Project Name: CANA Pavement Preservation Project Prepared by: Kristen Kneifl Date Prepared: Telephone: 321-267-1110 ext. 14 PEPC Project Number: 117517 Locations:

County, State: Volusia, FL Describe project:

Apply a pavement preservation treatment which includes the roadway and turnout vistas pavement. The Project is located in Canaveral National Seashore in the Playalinda District, Playalinda Beach Access Road, PD Playalinda Entrance Parking, PD Ranger Station Parking Lot, PD Contact Station RV Pullout, PD Vista #1, PD Vista #2, PD Vista #3, PD Vista #4, PD Vista #5, PD Vista #7, and PD Vista #8. Appropriate center line striping, pavement markings and vehicle parking stalls markings will be applied as part of the project.

This project is located in the Apollo District (AD) and Playalinda (PD) of Canaveral National Seashore. The project includes a pavement preservation treatment of bituminous pavement on Eldora Loop Road and four associated parking lots. The work will include application of thermal, striping to originally striped pavement areas and replacement all vehicle wheel stops made with sustainable recycled material. The project includes identification of required accessible parking to meet ADA/Universal Design law and delineated with appropriate signage and pavement markings. Replace informational and regulatory signs using the CANA double post design for additional stability during high winds. The project locations include AD Eldora Loop Road, location # 60781, AD Parking Lot #7, location # 60794, AD Parking Lot #8, location # 60795and AD Parking Lot #9, location # 60796, 60780 AD Apollo Beach Road (RT 0013), AD Parking Lot 1 (RT 0931), AD Parking Lot 2 (RT 0932), AD Parking Lot 3 (RT 0933), AD Parking Lot 4 (RT 0934), AD Parking Lot 5 (RT 0935), AD Turtle Mound Parking Lot (RT 0941), and AD Boat Launch Parking Lot (RT 0940).

This project includes approximately 32 lane miles. The project will include appropriate line and symbol markings for visitor access, crosswalks and other restricted or specifically marked areas as identified by the park. Project will include regular parking spaces and accessible spaces and bus/trailer parking spaces will be over laid with 2 inches of bituminous pavement. All vehicle wheel stops in parking lots will be removed prior to pavement repairs and resurfacing. Appropriate new wheels stops made of concrete will be installed. The work will include the identification of required accessible parking spaces and include appropriate striping, symbols and signage. All informational and regulatory signs and poles will be replaced according to National Park Service guidelines and according to the CANA park standard double post design. All work will conform to environmental requirements, and law and appropriate permits will be required during the project to protect the sensitive nature of the seashore environment.

Mitigation Type: Rare, Threatened & Endangered Speciest If native wildlife (gopher tortoise, etc) is present in the work area, all work will stop and individuals will be allowed to leave the work area undisturbed prior to restarting work. Moving or otherwise disturbing wildlife is not authorized.

Mitigation Type: Rare, Threatened & Endangered Species Prior to implementing project, project plans will be reviewed by Canaveral National Seashore resource management staff. Where required, surveys for gopher tortoise burrows will be carried out and any existing burrows will be flagged for avoidance by resource management staff.

Mitigation Type: Vegetation To reduce the potential for introduction of non-native species, all equipment will be clean and free of visible debris (mud, plant materials, etc) prior to entering Canaveral National Seashore.

Mitigation Type: Vegetation Staging of materials and operation of equipment must be restricted to previously disturbed areas. Removal of vegetation not authorized without review and approval by Canaveral NS resource management staff.

Required safety mitigations: The contractor must comply with all applicable Federal, State, county and municipal laws, ordinances, regulations, codes, and the terms and conditions of this project, and will provide a site-specific safety plan to the park for review at least two weeks before work is to begin.
