Director, Transportation and Public Works Department 1000 Throckmorton Street Fort Worth, Texas 76102 Project Description: The City of Fort Worth Transportation and Public Works Department (TPW), in conjunction with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is proposing improvements to North Tarrant Parkway (NTP) in the City of Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas. The proposed improvements would widen the existing NTP from US 377 to Rainy Lake Drive, from a two-lane to a four-lane divided facility. This roadway would consist of curb and gutter, left turn bays at select locations, 4-foot inside shoulders, 8-foot outside shoulders, and four 12-foot driving lanes. The extension of the parkway from Rainy Lake Drive west to IH-35W would construct a four- lane divided facility on new location. In addition, a grade-separated interchange would be constructed at the NTP intersection with IH-35W. Combined length of the two projects is approximately 4.5 miles (Exhibit 1). The purpose of the projects is to upgrade the existing local transportation network to meet the travel demand for the growth that is currently being experienced in this area. The projects will contribute to improved area wide traffic mobility. The two projects would impact five waters of the United States, that are regulated by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) under authority of Section 404 of the Clear Water Act. Impacts to these waters would occur at six locations. At each single and complete crossing, the proposed work would not require the loss of more than 0.50 acre of waters of the United States. Anticipated impacts to waters of the United States cause by these projects are assumed to be authorized under Nationwide Permit No. 14. Attached is a Project Location Map, Paving Plan/Profiles with cross sections, Mitigation Area Location Map, mitigation area exhibit, and photographs. USACE No. 200100597 CSJ: 0902-48-194, 0014-16-189, and 0081-12-020 Prepared June 11,2003 by TxDOT Fort Worth District Project Impacts to Waters of the United States: The six impact locations to the five waters of the United States and quantity of anticipated impacts to each are described below: Location 1 (Sta. No. 36/I14-35W culvert B, Exhibit 2 and 3/photographs 1 and 2) contains an unnamed intermittent tributary to Big Fossil Creek (BFC-2A). The major function of the tributary is to convey water downstream. The tributary is dominated by Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon) and cattail (Typha domingenis) and exhibits a low value for wildlife habitat. The approximate width of the incised channel between ordinary high water marks (OHWM) is 10 feet. (ft.). The jurisdictional area of the existing channel (885 linear ft.) would be filled with approximately 330 cubic yards (cy) of clean fill material obtained from a commercial borrow source. Impacts to waters of the United States are estimated to be 885 linear ft. by 10 ft. (approximately 0. 20 acre). The existing channel would be relocated to an upland area from 0 to approximately 50 ft. west of the channel's current location. Approximately 870 ft. of new channel would be excavated to replace the filled channel. The new channel would range from 20 to 130 ft. wide from top of bank to top of bank. A six-barrel concrete box culvert (90-ft. by 226- ft.skewed angle) would be placed within the new channel. Location 2 (Sta. No. 1012/NTP to Sta. No.43/IH-35W, culvert A and D, Exhibit 4/photographs 3 through 11) contains an unnamed intermittent tributary to Big Fossil Creek. The major function of the tributary is to convey water downstream. The tributary is dominated by cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium) and sump weed (Iva annua) and exhibits a low value for wildlife habitat. The approximate width of the channel between OHWMs is 8 ft. The jurisdictional area of the existing channel (940 linear ft.) would be filled with approximately 280 cy of clean fill material obtained from a commercial borrow source. The existing channel would be relocated to an upland area approximately 100 ft. east of its current location. A six-barrel concrete box culvert (70-ft. by 330-ft.) would be placed within the new channel. Impacts to waters of the United States are estimated to be 940 linear ft. by 8 ft. (approximately 0.17 acre) based on loss of stream channel because of fill and culvert operations. Location 3 (Sta. No. 1091/NTP, Exhibit 5/photographs 12 and 13) contains Whites Branch, a tributary to Big Fossil Creek. The major function of the tributary is to convey water downstream. The tributary is dominated by mixed grasses, and forbs. The area exhibits a low value for wildlife habitat. The approximate width of the channel between OHWMs is 60 ft. Work would consist of extending the existing 60-ft. by 105-ft. ten-barrel concrete box culvert approximately 110 ft. to the north (upstream). No culvert work or impacts to waters of the United States are planned downstream at this location. Impacts to waters of the United States are estimated to be 110 linear ft. by 60 ft. (approximately 0.15 acre). Location 4 (Sta. No. 1108/NTP, Exhibit 6/photographs 14 through 16). contains an unnamed tributary to Whites Branch. The major function of the tributary is to convey water downstream. The tributary is dominated by cattail, mixed grasses, and forbs. This area exhibits a low value for USACE No. 200100597 2 CSJ: 0902-48-194,0014-16-189, and 0081-12-020 Prepared Junel 1,2003 by TxDOT Fort Worth District wildlife habitat. The approximate width of the channel between OHWMs is 30 ft. Work would consist of extending the existing 60-ft, by 35 ft. three barrel concrete box culvert approximately 120 ft. to the north (upstream). No culvert work or impacts to waters of the United States are planned downstream at this location. Impacts to waters of the United States are estimated to be 120 linear ft. by 30 ft. (approximately 0.08 acre). Location 5 (Sta. No. 1136/NTP, Exhibit 7/photographs 17 through 19) contains an unnamed tributary to Whites Branch. The major function of the tributary is to convey water downstream. The tributary is dominated by mixed grasses, and forbs. The area exhibits a low value for wildlife habitat. The approximate width of the channel between OHWMs is 90 ft. Work would consist of extending the existing 100 ft. by 100 ft. eight-barrel concrete box culvert to the north (upstream) approximately 130 ft.; minor channel realignment would be required for this work. This minor channel realignment would be required for hydraulic practices in accordance with TxDOT design policy and standards. The realignment would be the minimum necessary to adhere to these standards. Impacts to waters of the United States at this location are estimated to be 130 linear ft. by 90 ft. (approximately 0.27 acre). No culvert work or impacts to waters of the United States are planned downstream at this location. In addition, an approximately 0.04 acre area (Exhibit 7/photograph 17) abutting the channel to the west of the proposed extension of the box culvert was determined to: • be dominated by cattail, spikerush (Eleocharis macrostachya), and sedges (Cyperus spp. and Carex spp.), • contain saturated soil and areas of standing and flowing water, and • contain Frio silty clay/Slidell clay soils that are acting as hydric/wetland soils. This area has been determined to meet the criteria of a wetland as described in the USACE 1987 Wetlands Delineation Manual because it contains a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation, field indicators of hydrology, and hydric soils (see attached wetland delineation data form Exhibit 11). This area is described as an approximate 0.04-acre emergent wetland. The wetland area would be required to be filled in order to accommodate the placement of the roadway front slope at this location. The work would require that approximately 325 cubic yards of fill material be placed within the jurisdictional area of the wetland. The fill material would consist of clean material obtained from a commercial borrow source. Impacts to waters of the United States at this location are estimated to be 0.04 acre within the emergent wetland. Location 6 (Sta. No. 1174/NTP, Exhibit 8/photographs 20 through 22) contains an unnamed tributary to Whites Branch. The major function of the tributary is'to convey water downstream. The tributary is dominated by cattail, mixed grasses, and forbs. The area exhibits a low value for wildlife habitat. The approximate width of the channel between OHWMs is 12 ft. Work would consist of extending the existing 10 ft. by 60 ft. concrete box culvert to the north (downstream) approximately 140 ft. No culvert work or impacts to waters of the United States is planned USACE No.200100597 3 CSJ: 0902-48-194,0014-16-189, and 0081-12-020 Prepared June 11,2003 by TxDOT Fort Worth District downstream at this location. Impacts to waters of the United States are estimated to be 140 linear ft. by 12 ft. (approximately 0.04 acre). The total amount of impacts to waters of the United States anticipated for these projects are depicted in the summary table on the following page. Each waters of the United States crossing is considered a separate and complete project and, as such, qualifies for authorization under Nationwide Permit No. 14. As mentioned in previous telephone conversations with the USACE, no downstream velocity increase at any location will occur because of these projects. This will be accomplished at Location 1 by placing energy dissipaters at the intake and outfall of the proposed box culvert (Exhibit 3) and at Location 2 by placing energy dissipaters at the outfall of the proposed box culvert (Exhibit 4).

Avoidance and Minimization of Project Impacts to Waters of the United States: At Location 1 (Sta. No. 36/IH-35W Interchange, culvert B, Exhibit 2 and 3), impact avoidance strategies included considerations for: • a con span structure to span the tributary at the IH-35W southbound frontage road at a cost of $945,000, • abridge structure to span the tributary at the IH-35W southbound frontage road at a cost of $225,000, and USACE No. 200100597 4 CSJ:0902-48-194, 0014-16-189,and 0081-12-020 Prepared Junel 1,2003 by TxDOT Fort Worth District • a box culvert to traverse the tributary at the IH-35W southbound frontage road at a cost of $243,000. The hydrology model used to determine the hydrologic conditions at this location determined that neither a con span structure nor a bridge structure would allow for control.of overland flow during typical rain events. Use of a con span structure or a bridge structure at this location would allow overland flow to inundate the southbound lanes of IH-35W; thus, creating unsafe driving conditions. Engineering studies determined that the use of a box culvert at this location would best control overland flow by confining the flow within a channel reducing the potential for IH- 35W southbound lanes to become inundated. In addition, a box culvert is currently present within the tributary underneath the mainlanes of IH-35W. The proposed box culvert would direct flow to the existing box culvert. In order to avoid inundation of IH-35W southbound lanes by typical rain events, the con span structure and the bridge structure were eliminated from further design considerations. Use of a box culvert was determined to be a cost effective and practicable strategy to traverse the tributary. The minimization strategy employed at this location was to design a box culvert that would cause the minlrmurrt�:mpact to the stream. At Location 2 (Sta. No. 1012/NTP to Sta. No. 43/IH-35W, culvert A and D, Exhibit 4), impact avoidance strategies included design considerations for: • Two con span structures to span the tributary at the IH-35W northbound frontage road and at NTP at a total cost of$4;172,000, • Two bridge structures to span the tributary at the IH-35W northbound frontage road and at NTP at a total cost of$1,688,000, and • Two joined box culverts to traverse the tributary at the IH-35W northbound frontage road and at NTP at a total cost of$1,259,000. The cost of the con span structures and the bridge structures were determined not to be cost effective or practicable. In addition, because a box culvert is currently present within the tributary underneath the mainlanes of IH-35W, a more practicable design would be to use a structure that would direct flow to this existing box culvert. For these reasons, the con-span structures and the bridge structures were eliminated from further design considerations. Use of a box culvert was determined to be a cost effective and practicable strategy to traverse the tributary. The minimization strategy employed at this location was to design a box culvert that would cause the minimum impact to the stream. At Location 3 (Sta. No. 1091/NTP, Exhibit 5), a ten-barrel box culvert is present within the channel. Extension of the existing box culvert would not allow for avoidance of impacts to the channel. However, the proposed extension of the box culvert is the minimum allowable according to design standards; therefore, impacts to the channel have been minimized. USACE No.200100597 5 CSJ: 0902-48-194,0014-16-189,and 0081-12-020 Prepared June 11,2003 by TxDOT Fort Worth District At Location 4 (Sta. No. 1108/NTP, Exhibit 6), a three-barrel box culvert is present within the channel. Extension of the existing box culvert would not allow for avoidance of impacts to the channel. However, the proposed extension of the box culvert is the minimum allowable according to design standards; therefore, impacts to the channel have been minimized. At Location 5 (Sta. No. 1136/NTP, Exhibit 7), an eight-barrel box culvert is present within the channel. Extension of the existing box culvert would not allow for avoidance of impacts to the channel. However, the proposed length of extension of the box culvert is the minimum allowable according to design standards; therefore, impacts to the channel have been minimized. The 0.04 acre emergent wetland to the west of the proposed extension would be required to be filled in order to allow proper function of the box culvert in accordance with TxDOT design policy and standards. In addition, unless the current drainage patterns leading from the wetland area to the channel are modified (i.e. the wetland filled) at this location, continual and possibly severe function and maintenance problems would occur at this location. Therefore, impacts to the wetland cannot be avoided or minimized. At Location 6 (Sta. No. I I74/NTP, Exhibit 8), a single barrel concrete box culvert is present within the channel. Extension of the existing box culvert would not allow for avoidance of impacts to the channel. However, the proposed length of extension of the box culvert is the minimum allowable according to design standards; therefore, impacts to the channel have been minimized. Clearing of vegetation would be limited in order to maintain a natural water quality buffer and minimize the amount of erodible earth. Upon completion of the earthwork operations, disturbed areas would be restored and re-seeded in accordance with Executive Order 13112 on Invasive Species and the Executive Memorandum on Beneficial Landscaping. A mix of herbaceous plants would be used to re-vegetate the right-of-way according to TxDOT's specifications for "Seeding and Erosion Control". As a result of impacts to jurisdictional waters associated with the construction of this project, Tier I Erosion Control, Post-Construction Total Suspended Solids (TSS) Control and Sedimentation Control devices would be required under the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Section 401. Erosion Control devices to be used include temporary vegetation and sod. Also, Post-Construction TSS Control device would be implemented upon completion of the project. Post-Construction TSS Control for the project would be vegetative filter strips. In addition, Sedimentation Control device would be installed and remain in place until completion of the project. Sedimentation Control devices to be used would include silt fences, rock filter dams, and hay bales. USACE No. 200100597 6 CSJ: 0902-48-194,0014-16-189, and 0081-12-020 Prepared June11,2003 by TxDOT Fort Worth District Mitigation Area Location and Description: The TPW in conjunction with TxDOT propose to mitigate on-site for 870 ft. of the 885 ft. of stream impacts at Location 1. This mitigation would be accomplished by relocating the existing stream. This lateral relocation would range from 0 to approximately 50 ft. west of the stream's current location. 870 ft. of new channel would be excavated to replace the filled channel. The relocated stream would range from 20 to 130 ft. wide (Exhibits 2 and 3). In accordance with Executive Order 13112 on Invasive Species and the Executive Memorandum on Beneficial Landscaping, the banks of this relocated stream and all disturbed areas at this location would be seeded and replanted with native species where possible. A mix of native grasses and forbs would be used to re-vegetate the right-of way and disturbed areas. Mitigation for the outstanding 15 ft. of impacts at Location 1 is proposed at the off-site mitigation area described below. Because of the absence of a suitable and secure from development area for on-site mitigation, The TPW proposes to accomplish compensatory mitigation for the remaining impacts to waters of the United States within a near-site City of Fort Worth park. The area selected for mitigation is known as Arcadia Trails Park North and is found along the project area (Exhibit 9 location map). This area can be found on the USGS Quadrangle of Keller, Texas. The portion of Arcadia Park North proposed for mitigation is located at the southeast corner of North Tarrant Parkway and North Beach Street (Exhibit 10). This area is located near Station No. 1108 of the project. The proposed mitigation area is composed of a 50 foot wide area abutting each bank of Whites Branch (photographs 23 through 30). The mitigation area will extend for approximately 1,455 feet along Whites Branch and a tributary to Whites Branch as depicted in Exhibit 10. This mitigation area will consist of a 3.34 acre (100 feet X 1,455 feet/43,560 square feet) planting area. The area contains grasses, forbs, and trees including sprangle-top (Leptochloa sp.), brome grass (Bromus sp.), Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense), green milkweed (Asclepias viridiora), goldenrod (Solidago sp.), sugarberry (Celtis laevigata), black willow (Salix nigra), and mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa). The City of Fort Worth Parks and Community Services Department currently maintains the area. . The area is mowed periodically during the growing season. Soils within the area are listed on plate 17 of the Tarrant County Soil Survey as Frio silt clay, frequently flooded.

(o.c.=planted on center) Plant specimens shall be of container grown stock. Trees shall be a minimum of 5 gallons. Trees shall be planted at a rate sufficient to provide an establishment density of 48 per acre. Species selection is subject to availability; substitutions may be used with prior approval. Tree planting should occur between September 15 and April 15 following proposed project USACE No.200100597 8 CSJ: 0902-48-194, 0014-16-189, and 0081-12-020 Prepared Junel 1,2003 by TxDOT Fort Worth District completion or as soon as the construction activities permit. Plants will be of 5-gallon container grown stock. Planting will be species interspersed and 30 foot on center within the mitigation area. This spacing will allow for approximately nine stems per acre from each of the 5 species (total of 48 stems per acre). Species selection is subject to commercial availability; substitution may be used with prior USACE.approval. Prior to planting, an area will be cleared of vegetation where stems are to be planted as directed by the planting contractor. In addition, wire tree protectors will be installed around planted trees as directed by the planting contractor. Watering of the planted trees will be completed as directed by the TPW to ensure survival of the trees. The TPW will be responsible for removal of wire tree protectors when appropriate. Maintenance and Monitoring/Success Criteria: The long-term vegetation management plan for the mitigation area recognizes that the intent of the mitigation plan is to establish a riparian buffer zone and wildlife habitat area along a portion of Whites Branch. The success criteria of the mitigation would be to establish a buffer zone to a waters of the United States (Whites Branch) by providing an area where development will be excluded and where the presence of mast-producing trees will aid in soil stabilization as well as providing wildlife habitat. The presence of this buffer area will enhance water quality of the channel. The presence of a variety of mast-producing trees will provide enhanced wildlife habitat within the area. The long-term vegetation management plan is to avoid disturbing the vegetation within this area to the maximum extent practicable and to encourage natural succession. Vegetation maintenance (mowing) will not be allowed in the mitigation area. The TPW will be responsible for maintaining the mitigation area to achieve the intent of the mitigation plan by establishing a riparian buffer zone and wildlife habitat area as described above. Establishment of a riparian buffer zone and wildlife habitat area is the success criteria of the mitigation area. The TPW will be responsible for maintaining the mitigation area until such time as the TPW provides documentation to, and receives verification from, the USACE, that the mitigation area is functioning as an established riparian buffer zone and wildlife habitat area. Compliance Reporting: The TPW will establish and implement a self-monitoring program that includes the following actions: A. designation, in writing, of a responsible party to coordinate with the Regulatory Branch, Fort Worth District, USACE concerning on-site inspection and compliance with permit conditions; B. notification to the USACE of the schedule of activities for each phase of the mitigation project at least 30 days prior to the start of soil-disturbing activities; C. implementation of a reporting program that will include annual, written USACE No. 200100597 9 CSJ: 0902-48-194, 0014-16-189,and 0081-12-020 Prepared June 11,2003 by TxDOT Fort Worth District compliance reports to the USACE, due October, each year, beginning the first year after completion of the mitigation planting. The TPW will include in each report any schedule changes and a summary of all activities that occurred during the reporting period, including demonstration of the TPW compliance with the permit conditions. The report will include photographs, maps, and a description of impacts to waters of the United States. Compliance reports will be submitted even if no work is conducted during the reporting period. The TPW will submit compliance reports until the USACE verifies that the TPW has completed all mitigation plan requirements, the mitigation areas have met the success criteria, and all permitted activities have been either completed or deleted from the construction project. The TPW will retain a qualified mitigation specialist (Biologist, Ecologist, or other qualified specialist in wetland restoration, enhancement, or creation), to oversee the mitigation work to the extent necessary to ensure compliance with all mitigation requirements of the permit. The City of Fort Worth owns the proposed mitigation area property. The TPW will survey the mitigation area and develop an appropriate deed restriction for the surveyed area, submit the draft deed restriction to the USACE for review and approval, and record the USACE approved deed restriction with the Tarrant County Clerk. The TPW will provide a copy of the recorded deed restriction to the Regulatory Branch. The restriction will not be removed from the deed or modified without written approval of the USACE and conveyance of any interest in the property must be subject to the deed restriction. The TPW will dedicate in perpetuity as a riparian buffer mitigation area, the mitigation area identified in this mitigation plan. The mitigation area will not be disturbed, except by those activities that would not adversely affect the intended extent, condition, and function of the mitigation area or by those activities specifically provided for in the approved mitigation plan or in the special conditions for this permit. Mowing would not be allowed in the tree planting area. The TPW will post the area with signage to identify it as a "Natural Area", and cable—off the area (according to specifications of the City of Fort Worth Parks and Community Services Department). Threatened and Endangered Species: TxDOT has completed coordination and received clearance for the project from the following agencies: Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (February 9, 1999), Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (October 26, 1999), and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (August 23, 1999). No impact to Federal or State protected species is anticipated due to the proposed project. In addition to the above listed agency clearances, a recent search of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Biological and Conservation Database (BCD) and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service list of protected species within Tarrant County was conducted. The search revealed no known occurrences of endangered or threatened species or sensitive natural plant communities within the project vicinity. Field surveys of the project area determined that no endangered or threatened species, habitat for these species, or sensitive natural plant communities are present within the project area. USACE No.200100597 10 CSJ: 0902-48-194,0014-16-189,and 0081-12-020 Prepared June 11,2003 by TxDOT Fort Worth District Cultural Resources: TxDOT has completed coordination and received clearance for the project from the Texas Historical Commission on April 9, 2000. In addition, a field survey of the area determined that no properties appearing to be 50 years or older are within the project area. No impact to cultural resources is anticipated due to the proposed project. In the unlikely event that archeological materials are discovered during construction, work in the area of discovery would cease and accidental discovery procedures would be implemented. These procedures would be implemented in accordance with the provisions of the Programmatic Agreement among TxDOT and the Advisory Council Historic Preservation, the Federal Highway Administration and the Texas Historical Commission (THC) as well as the Memorandum of Understanding between THC and TxDOT.

DISCUSSION: The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Nationwide Permit 14 for the North Tarrant Parkway/1-35W Interchange and Roadway Projects requires that the City implement a mitigation plan because new culverts for these projects impact waters of the United States at six locations. The mitigation plan requires that development restrictions be placed on 1,455 linear feet of Whites Branch (3.34 acres) for a wetlands mitigation area. After approval of this mitigation area, the City will be responsible for planting trees every 30-feet on each side of the creek, cabling off the mitigation area and posting signs to identify it as a natural area, irrigating the trees, and providing compliance reports to the USACE for a minimum of five years. The proposed deed restriction and location map are attached. Tree planting and installation of irrigation will be included in the construction of the interchange. The City will need to amend its contract with Carter & Burgess, Inc. to include tree layouts, irrigation, and cabling in the construction documents. The Transportation and Public Works Department (TxDOT) is coordinating this work with Parks and Community Services and Environmental Management Departments. Parks and Community Services Depart- ment has approved the proposed mitigation site, and there is sufficient room for future trail construction outside the proposed mitigation area. Parks and Community Services staff has contacted the Park Glen Neighborhood Association and Public Improvement District 6 representatives who endorse the mitigation site. The Environmental Management Department will assist with monitoring the mitigation site. TxDOT received bids for the interchange in July 2003, and construction is anticipated to start in February 2004. On June 5, 2001 (M&C G-13261), the City Council authorized the execution of the Local Project Advance Funding Agreement (LPAFA) with TxDOT. In the agreement, the scope of work for the new interchange at IH-35W and North Tarrant Parkway consisted of the following: • TxDOT will fund 100% of the construction of the North Tarrant Parkway bridge over IH-35W including approaches; and • The City will fund 100% of the construction of the ramps and frontage roads above the fixed amount of federal funding which is $5,385,453, less all applicable preliminary engineering charges for the development of the plans, specifications, and estimates package; and • The City is responsible for obtaining all rights-of-way, relocating utilities, and all environmental mitigation for the project; and City of Fort Worth, Texas "a.qor And Council Communication DATE REFERENCE NUMBER LOG NAME PAGE 9/23/03 **G-14093 20ARCADIA 2 of 2 SUBJECT APPROVAL OF DEED RESTRICTION FOR A PORTION OF ARCADIA TRAILS PARK NORTH TO ESTABLISH AN ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION AREA FOR THE NORTH TARRANT PARKWAY/IH-35W INTERCHANGE AND ROADWAY PROJECTS The City will provide the plans, specifications, and estimates package for construction of the interchange including the bridge, ramps, and frontage roads and be reimbursed 80% for the development of the plans, specifications, and estimates package. On July 10, 2001 (M&C C-18648), the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an engineering services agreement with Carter & Burgess, Inc. to prepare plans and specifications for the North Tarrant Parkway/IH-35W Interchange. On September 2.0, 2002, Amendment No. 1 to the engineering services agreement with Carter & Burgess, Inc. was authorized in the amount of $24,945 for the preparation of eight additional right-of- way documents and the preparation of a Nationwide Permit for approval by the USACE. On May 27, 2003 (M&C C-19603), the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a Community Development Agreement with AIL Investment, L.P. to provide funding for the construction of the North Tarrant Parkway/IH-35W Interchange and North Tarrant Parkway from IH-35W to Rainy Lake Drive. On July 25, 2003, Amendment No. 2 to the engineering services agreement with Carter & Burgess, Inc. was authorized in the amount of $4,630 for the preparation of three easement documents for the relocation of utilities for the project. The mitigation site is located south of North Tarrant Parkway and east of North Beach Street, Mapsco 36K.
