Update on Storm Drainage Master Plan. The draft City of Brookings Master Drainage Plan was adopted by the City Council at their September 23, 2008 meeting. The Master Drainage Plan includes thirteen specific study areas, SWMM model data for the City of Brookings and future growth areas, and cost estimates for projects. The Master Drainage Plan is not intended for maintenance and nuisance issues. The Master Drainage Plan addresses two general issues, which are: • Improvement of existing drainage conditions throughout the City of Brookings and future growth areas; and • Technical SWMM model data which may be used by consultants for drainage analysis of existing and future developments. The City currently has a good framework for stormwater planning in place for new developments. Current City Ordinance requires new developments and redevelopments to submit a drainage plan as specified by the Brookings Storm Drainage Design and Technical Criteria Manual that was adopted in 2006. City Ordinance requires detention or retention facilities for development, which will help assure that the drainage problems will not continue to get worse. The Criteria Manual is working well, and consultants are familiar with the engineering and hydraulic requirements of the manual. The City Council adopted the following schedule at their October 28, 2008 meeting: No. Task Date Description 1.

The accumulation of funds through 2010 is being reserved for both the replacement of fire trucks and the railroad crossings. We have been accumulating funds since 2006 for the replacement of fire trucks and making the debt payments. After we have paid the debt on previous fire trucks purchased, we can begin a more aggressive replacement program that staggers purchases pursuant to a scheduled rotation. The railroad crossings have been accumulating funds of $150,000 per year since 2007. At the end of 2010 we will have accumulated $450,000.

Action on an abatement request from Brad Svennes to abate a portion of the 2008 taxes in the amount of $445.62 for property purchased by the City over a period of 3 tax years. To: Mayor Scott Munsterman, Council Members, Jeff Weldon, City Manager and Shari Thornes, City Clerk From: Steven J. Britzman, City Attorney Date: December 11, 2008 Re: Abatement of Taxes re Svennes property Due to the timing of our January 2007 closing and the fact the Svennes property was purchased over a period of 3 tax years, a partial abatement of 2007 taxes is required on the Svennes property. We collected the appropriate amount of property taxes from Brad Svennes at Closing. The Brookings County Finance office has assisted us in the calculation of real estate taxes and an abatement of taxes for the period after the January 2007 closing, computed on the approximate one-third of the Svennes property purchased in 2007 is required. The amount of the requested abatement is $445.62, and this amount is the same as computed by the Brookings County Treasurer. .

The title of the ordinance is read and the date for the public hearing is announced. 7. Ordinance No. 46-08: An ordinance amending the zoning ordinance of the Joint Jurisdiction Area pertaining to an Agricultural Research Facility as a permitted use in the Agricultural A District. Public Hearing: January 13, 2009 Proposal: Adopt regulations for a new land use in the Agricultural A District Background: All amendments to the Joint Jurisdiction Area zoning ordinance must be approved by both the city and county. Each district has permitted uses and special exceptions (conditional uses). The current make-up of permitted uses in the Ag District involves typical agriculture activities and farmsteads. It also allows for certain commercial activities that are considered customary for rural areas such as fisheries services, tree farms, truck gardening, nurseries, and greenhouses. Specifics: This amendment modifies two areas, definitions and districts. The definition is important since it sets parameters as to what we perceive this use to be. The agronomy distinction narrows the uses to less intensive operations. The last statement makes sure that “research” would not be interpreted to include something other than field crops and soils. Recommendation: The City Planning Commission voted 6 yes and 0 no and the County Planning Commission voted 8 yes and 0 no to recommend approval of the amendments.

County planners present were Duane Knutson, Jeff Robbins, Darrel Kleinjan, Darrell Nelson, Robert Rochel, Mary Kidwiler, Robb Loomis, and Emil Klavetter. Randy Jensen was absent. City planners present were Curt Ness, Al Heuton, Stacey Howlett, Larry Fjeldos, Al Gregg and Gustafson. Mike Cameron, David Kurtz, and Greg Fargen were absent. Also present were County Zoning Director Bob Hill, City Engineer Jackie Lanning, City Planner Dan Hanson, Airport Manager Mike Wilson, City Manager Jeff Weldon, Andy Olson and Greg Albjerg from HNTB, Bob Babcock from Helms & Assoc., and others. Item #2 – Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance of the Joint Jurisdiction Area have been submitted pertaining to an Agricultural Research Facility in the Agricultural A District. (Gregg/Ness) Motion to approve. All present voted aye. MOTION CARRIED. SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION Item #2 – Hanson explained the two sections that were amended in the Joint Jurisdiction Area zoning ordinance. Article II included the definition of the term. The allowed research would be limited to agronomy which was generally associated with field crop production and soil management. Therefore, a permitted facility would engage in seed, plant, or soil research only. Article IV allowed the use in the Aquifer Overlay District as well as the Ag District. Heuton asked if the use could be considered as a special exception. Hanson replied that, based on the established permitted uses and special exception uses, it fit better as a permitted use in the Ag District. City Council Packet December 16, 2008 37 JJA Zoning Regulations (excerpt) The purpose of this ordinance is to preserve the water quality of the Big Sioux Aquifer within the Joint Jurisdictional Area, protecting the development and use of land in a manner that will positively affect the quality of water within the areas designated Aquifer Secondary Impact Areas, and preventing any use that would affect the water quality within the Aquifer Critical Impact Areas associated with the public wells that supply the City of Brookings. The Brookings City and County Commissions recognize (1) that residents of Brookings County rely exclusively on ground water for a safe drinking water supply and (2) that certain land uses in Brookings County can contaminate ground water particularly in shallow/surficial aquifers. The purpose of the Aquifer Protection Overlay District is to protect public health and safety by minimizing contamination of the shallow/surficial aquifers in the Joint Jurisdictional Area. It is the intent to accomplish this, as much as possible, by public education and securing public cooperation. Appropriate land use regulations will be imposed, however, which are in addition to those imposed in the underlying zoning districts or in other regulations. It is not the intent to grandfather in existing land uses which pose a serious threat to public health through potential contamination of public water supply well head areas. .2 ESTABLISHMENT AND DELINEATION OF AQUIFER PROTECTION OVERLAY ZONES. Boundaries for the aquifer protection zones for the Aquifer Protection Overlay District are shown on published maps entitled "Well Head Protection Area Maps, Brookings County Shallow Aquifer Map" dated May 1988 as drawn by Banner Associates. Sheets 3 and 4 of said maps are hereby adopted by reference as part of this ordinance as if the maps were fully described herein. The shallow/surficial aquifer boundary was mapped using data from the South Dakota Geological Survey and United States Geological Survey. The zone of contribution was mapped using an analytical technique outlined in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency publication "Guidelines for Delineation of Well head Protection Areas, June, 1987." The Aquifer Protection Overlay District was divided into two zones a) Zone A - Aquifer Critical Impact Zone. Zone A, the well head protection area, is the zone of contribution mapped around all public water supply wells or well fields and includes land upgradient to the ten year time of travel boundary. (1) Permitted uses in Zone A, provided they meet appropriate Performance Standards outlined for Aquifer Protection Overlay Zones: a) Agriculture; b) Horticulture; c) Park, greenways or publicly owned recreational areas; Necessary public utilities/facilities designed so as to prevent contamination of ground water. City Council Packet December 16, 2008 38 Section 405. Agricultural District A. 406. Intent. This district is established to maintain and promote farming and related activities within an environment which is generally free of other land use activities. Residential development will be discouraged to minimize conflicts with farming activities and reduce the demand for expanded public services and facilities. 407.

Currently, 6th Street provides the major route across Interstate 29 between a large section of the industrial park and the rest of the city. When shifts change in the industrial park, travel demand rises and challenges the capacity of the existing road system. Earlier this year, the partners contracted with HDR Engineering to study traffic conditions and create a plan to alleviate congestion problems. Specifically, Brookings citizens wanted to consider whether an additional grade-separated Interstate crossing would be an appropriate solution. HDR conducted the study through the following steps: • Gather data, including new traffic counts, traffic operations parameters, land use plans, and mapping. This item also included a survey of travel patterns of industrial park employees. • Analyze the existing traffic operations conditions to identify and quantify problems. • Forecast future traffic conditions based on the City’s land use plans. • Analyze future traffic conditions. • Propose alternative solutions to future traffic problems. • Compare and rank the alternatives. • Create an implementation plan. The alternatives examined in this study included: • Alternative 0 – add lanes to existing street system to achieve acceptable level of service (for purposes of comparison). • Alternative 1 – provide a second Interstate crossing at Eastbrook Drive. • Alternative 2 – provide a second Interstate crossing at Orchard Drive. • Alternative 3 – provide a second Interstate crossing at 20th Street South. • Alternative 4 – provide a second Interstate crossing at 26th Street South. • Alternative 5 – improve existing Interstate crossing and connections at 32nd Street South. Each project was evaluated based on its safety, environmental, geometric, traffic service, land use, utility impact and cost characteristics. The evaluation showed that the top ranked alternative involved building an additional grade-separated overpass at 20th Street South and improving 34th Avenue. This alternative provides the best combination of travel characteristics and provides a direct route between future industrial park development and future residential development. An implementation plan was then prepared to identify construction projects that may be programmed to bring the top ranked alternative to reality. The project list is shown on the following page. Brookings Industrial Park 2 Traffic Impact Study Project List 1. 34th Avenue, from 6th Street to 20th Street – construct 2-3 lane arterial street with improved at-grade railroad crossing – near term. 2. 20th Street South, from 22nd Avenue to 34th Avenue – construct 2- 3 lane arterial street with grade-separated overpass of Interstate 29 – mid term. Brookings Industrial Park 3 Traffic Impact Study Chapter 1: Background and Perceived Public Need The City of Brookings is located in southeast South Dakota in the center of Brookings County. With a population of approximately 20,000, Brookings is a center of education and manufacturing. It is home to South Dakota State University, Daktronics, Larson Manufacturing and many other manufacturing and service businesses. Brookings’ transportation needs are served by Interstate 29, US 14 and a network of county highways and local roads. Recent years have seen South Dakota cities in the I-29 corridor, including Brookings, experiencing steady, healthy growth in population and jobs, with most of the commerce relying on freight service via the Interstate highway system. But, Interstate 29 also serves as a barrier to local traffic circulation, separating a large part of Brookings’ industrial park from the rest of the city and its residential and commercial activities. Consequently, thousands of vehicles travel across the same Interstate interchange each day to reach jobs in the industrial park, creating congestion and long delays. Brookings citizens are seeking ways to alleviate the congestion, including investigating additional crossings of Interstate 29. Public Need: relieve congestion on existing routes and plan for future transportation service to meet Brookings’ growth plans. The City of Brookings, Brookings County and a group of industrial park businesses contracted with HDR Engineering to study existing and future traffic conditions in eastern Brookings and create a plan of improvements. This study report documents HDR’s analysis and conclusions. The study area is shown in Figures 1 and includes the area bounded by US 14B on the north, 34th Avenue on the east, 32nd Street South on the south and 22nd Avenue on the west. The study area is bisected by Interstate 29, which runs north and south. Much of the existing industrial park and planned industrial park development lies within the study area, east of I-29. Existing and planned residential land uses lie primarily west of the study area. Land use plans show that future industrial and commercial growth will occur in open areas around the existing industrial park. Future residential development is slated to occur along the southern boundaries of the city, west of the study area. The demand for future home-to-work trips then will likely place further stress on routes like 22nd Avenue and 6th Street, unless alternative routes are provided. Those routes would have to include additional crossings of Interstate 29 to provide reasonable alternatives to the existing route.

Data Gathering – existing conditions throughout the study area were measured through research of existing data records and field research. Specifically, turning movement counts were performed at major intersections for morning and afternoon peak traffic periods, and were supplemented by 24-hour link counts. Existing lane configurations and speed limits were recorded for study area roadways. The City of Brookings also provided future land use plans, airphoto coverage, elevation data and many other data items that facilitated the study. The South Dakota Department of Transportation provided available traffic volume data. 2. Existing Traffic Operations – the quality of transportation service on the existing roadway system was evaluated using procedures developed for the Highway Capacity Manual, prepared by the Transportation Research Board and recognized as a national standard by the Federal Highway Administration. Synchro 7 software was used to determine the level of service (LOS) at the primary study area intersections. The traffic signal installation criteria warrants were also checked at several locations on 6th Street that are currently controlled by stop signs. 3. Traffic Forecasts - Future traffic conditions were estimated using traditional four-step forecasting procedures and spreadsheet calculation techniques. The study area was divided into traffic analysis zones and future land uses were assigned based on the Brookings comprehensive plan. Trips associated with future growth were calculated based on trip generation characteristics of the existing study area and added to existing trips, inflated by a background growth factor. All trips were distributed and assigned to the street network for each alternative, based on trip distribution factors derived from existing trip distribution and future growth areas. 4. Alternative Development – Three alternative interstate crossing improvements were specified for examination at the beginning of the study: a. Alternative #1 – Extension of Orchard Drive east from 22nd Avenue and connect to 8th Street South east of Interstate 29. This option would require an Interstate 29 underpass. Costs to complete 34th Avenue from Prince Drive to 8th Street South will be included in the alternative study. b. Alternative #2 – Extension of 20th Street South east from 22nd Avenue to 34th Avenue with an Interstate 29 overpass. Costs to complete 34th Avenue from Prince Drive to 20th Street South will be included in the alternative study. c. Alternative #3 – Investigation of trip diversion to use existing overpass at 32nd Street South. Costs to complete 34th Avenue from Prince Drive to 32nd Street South will be included in the alternative study. Other alternatives were also developed by the study team, including a no-build alternative to evaluate the necessary improvements on existing roadways if no alternative Interstate crossings are provided. 5. Future Traffic Operations – the quality of future transportation service was again evaluated using highway capacity techniques and Synchro 7 software. 6. Alternatives Evaluation – the alternatives developed in item #4 were evaluated and ranked based on the following evaluation factors: Brookings Industrial Park 6 Traffic Impact Study a. Safety b. Environmental affects c. Geometric design conditions d. Traffic operations e. Land use impacts f. Utility impacts g. Relative costs The best-ranked alternative was carried forward as the recommended course of action. 7. Implementation Plan – a plan of recommended improvements was prepared based on the study analysis and alternatives evaluation. Brookings Industrial Park 7 Traffic Impact Study Chapter 3: Existing Conditions Field observations and subsequent analysis confirm the public perception that there are congestion problems in the study area, particularly during the afternoon peak hour. Long queues build up on the south approaches to 6th Street intersections during lunch hour and at the end of the day shift as workers attempt to leave their places of work. Other 6th Street approaches also operate poorly at times. Observations of traffic volumes provide an understanding of the general nature of traffic, but are insufficient to indicate either the ability of the street network to carry additional traffic or the quality of service provided by the street system. For this reason the concept of level of service (LOS) was developed to correlate numerical traffic operational data to subjective descriptions of traffic performance at intersections. Each lane of traffic has delay associated with it and therefore a correlating LOS. The weighted average delay for each of these lanes of traffic for a signalized intersection is the intersection LOS. LOS categories range from LOS “A” (best) to “F” (worst) as shown in Table 1. TABLE 1. Level of Service Description Level of Service SIGNALIZED Intersection Control Delay (sec) UNSIGNALIZED Intersection Control Delay (sec) Intersection LOS Description A 10.0 10.0 Free flow, insignificant delays. B 10.1-20.0 10.1-15.0 Stable operation, minimal delays. C 20.1-35.0 15.1-25.0 Stable operation, acceptable delays. D 35.1-55.0 25.1-35.0 Restricted flow, regular delays. E 55.1-80.0 35.1-50.0 Maximum capacity, extended delays. Volumes at or near capacity. Long queues form upstream from intersection. F > 80.0 > 50.0 Forced flow, excessive delays. Represents jammed conditions. Intersection operates below capacity with low volumes. Queues may block upstream intersections. Source: Highway Capacity Manual, Transportation Research Board, 2000 The intersection capacity analyses were completed with Synchro 7.0 software. Synchro replicates the analysis procedures defined in the latest version of the Highway Capacity Manual. This manual provides procedures for the analysis of both signalized and unsignalized intersections. It should be noted that stop-controlled intersections are analyzed by identifying the amount of delay at each approach that conflict with other intersection movements (i.e. all movements except the free flow thru lanes), thus approach LOS is reported for unsignalized intersections. LOS “C” has generally been established as the standard for planning of transportation facilities for peak hour traffic conditions. However, LOS “D” is often accepted in urbanized areas where the cost or impacts to provide LOS “C” is prohibitive. For this study, LOS “D” for the overall intersection was used as the minimum standard. Note that the level of service for stop-controlled intersections has been reported as the level of service for the worst stopped approach. Overall levels of service for stop-controlled intersections Brookings Industrial Park 8 Traffic Impact Study may be quite high without reflecting the delay experienced by stopped vehicles. Reporting the level of service of worst stopped approach gives an indication of that delay, but should not be interpreted as a need for improvement. Additional analysis will be provided related to any potential need for additional lanes or change of traffic control. A review of the analyses for each volume scenario is provided below. Summary LOS output reports of the analysis are included in the Appendix. Existing intersection lane layouts are shown on Figures 2 and 2a. Figures 3 and 3a display the existing turning movement counts for the AM and PM peak hours for the major intersections in the study area, along with the level of service (LOS) results from analysis. The analysis results show that study area intersections are operating reasonably well, with the exception of the stop- sign controlled approaches to the intersections on 6th Street. These approaches operate at low level of service, which is not unusual for stopped approaches onto an arterial roadway. More telling is the level of delay experienced by drivers on those approaches, which reaches an average of nearly 40 seconds per vehicle during the afternoon peak period. Warrants, the necessary conditions for installation of a traffic signal, were recently examined by the South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) at intersections on 6th Street, from the Interstate 29 off-ramps east to 34th Avenue. SDDOT found that warrants were satisfied at several of these intersections and began planning for installation of traffic signals at the Interstate 29 northbound off-ramp and at 32nd Avenue. The plan included contingencies for developing connections within the industrial park to 34th Avenue and eventually moving a traffic signal from 32nd Avenue to 34th Avenue to better serve the arterial street system. HDR verified the results of the signal warrant study based on the most recent traffic counts. There are good reasons for not installing traffic signals at all the intersections on 6th Street, even though they may satisfy the necessary conditions. Having too many signals interferes with through traffic flow on the arterial roadway, increasing overall delay and fuel usage. Also, contrary to popular perception, traffic signals are not a universal solution to safety problems. In fact, installation of traffic signals can actually increase the incidence of particular types of crashes and installing too many signals can lead to driver disregard of signals. Travel Survey A traveler survey was conducted to obtain information that was not readily available through traffic counts and other normal traffic monitoring. Survey forms were distributed to industrial park employees and a total of 1139 completed surveys were returned. The data produced from the survey forms was analyzed and reduced for use as input to the traffic START TIME PERCENT 1%9% 41%39% 1% 7% 0% 2% 0:00 - 5:59 6:00 - 6:59 7:00 - 7:59 8:00 - 11:59 12:00 - 15:59 16:00 - 16:59 17:00 - 17:59 18:00 - 23:59 Brookings Industrial Park 9 Traffic Impact Study forecasting step discussed in Chapter 4. The survey asked for responses about the following: • Work start and stop times • Use of carpools • Use of other transportation modes (bus, bike, walk, etc.) • Travel routes to and from work. Survey results showed that 41% of all respondents began work between 7:00 a.m. and 7:59 a.m. Other industrial park shifts were also evident, with 39% of the respondents starting work between 8:00 a.m. and 11:59 a.m., 7% beginning between 4:00 p.m. and 4:59 p.m., and 9% beginning between 6:00 a.m. and 6:59 a.m. Work end times corresponded closely to the patterns observed with start times, with the end times following start times by eight to nine hours, indicating normal shift operations at most employers. The proportion of travelers indicating that they drove alone tallied 78% of the total, while 14% reported carpooling and 8% reported using some other form of transportation. The travel route information from the survey was used to develop detailed trip distribution figures for traffic forecasting. The most important component of the route information, though, was the proportion of travelers using the 6th Street corridor, with 79% saying they used 6th Street to get to work and 73% saying they used 6th Street to get home.

The most recent Brookings comprehensive plan, titled Vision 2020, contained analysis and mapping leading to a plan for future growth areas. A map of those future growth areas is reproduced as Figure 4. The plan was used to determine the extent of expected development within the study area and led to estimation of future vehicle trips and their routes through the street network (see Chapter 2 for more information on forecasting methods). Separate turning volumes were prepared for the traffic generated by study area growth, for the background traffic and for the expected future total traffic, which included both study area growth and background traffic. Those volumes are shown in Figures 5-7a. Figures 7 and 7a also display the level of service for the major study area intersections, without any roadway improvements. The analysis shows that many of the intersections will fail under future traffic loads, particularly along 6th Street. The over-capacity conditions forecast for the future point out the pressing need for additions to the roadway system. Alternatives for dealing with these over-capacity conditions are developed, analyzed and ranked in the Chapter 5.

Since the chief impediments to smooth vehicle flow are the industrial park approaches to 6th Street and the single Interstate crossing between the bulk of the industrial park and the rest of the city, it makes sense to explore alternatives that provide alternate ways of crossing the Interstate without using 6th Street. The following list of alternatives include the concepts proposed by local officials at the outset of the study, other concepts developed by staff in interest of exploring all feasible alternatives, and an alternative that improves the existing 6th Street Interstate crossing to the point where adequate levels of service are obtained: • Alternative 0 – add lanes to existing street system to achieve acceptable level of service (for purposes of comparison). • Alternative 1 – provide a second Interstate crossing at Eastbrook Drive. • Alternative 2 – provide a second Interstate crossing at Orchard Drive. • Alternative 3 – provide a second Interstate crossing at 20th Street South. • Alternative 4 – provide a second Interstate crossing at 26th Street South. • Alternative 5 – improve existing Interstate crossing and connections at 32nd Street South. The alternatives are displayed in Figure 8, packaged in the pocket inside this report. Each of the alternatives was evaluated based on their effect on the following factors: • Safety, in terms of the positive or negative effects to the safety of the transportation system. • Environmental effects on wetlands, cultural resources, parks, etc. • Geometric design features. • Traffic service under future loading conditions. • Land use, in terms of the amount of land affected by each alternative. • Utilities, in terms of potential conflicts with utilities and potential for cooperation with future utility improvements. • Relative cost. Summaries of the results for each alternative are provided below. Following the summaries is a discussion of the ranking of the alternatives. Figures 9-20a are provided at the end of this chapter. An environmental screening was conducted for Alternatives 1-5 to determine whether there appear to be any non-roadway factors that would make the alternatives infeasible. The complete environmental screening technical memorandum is contained in the Appendix. Brookings Industrial Park 24 Traffic Impact Study Alternative 0 – this alternative was prepared to provide a basis of comparison for the following alternatives, which all involved building or improving Interstate crossings south of 6th Street. It establishes the relative cost and complexity of improving the existing roadway system to handle future traffic demands. Traffic volumes and level of service for this alternative are shown in Figures 9 and 9a. The recommended lane configurations for achieving acceptable levels of service are shown in Figures 10 and 10a. Carrying the entire burden of future traffic growth on 6th Street will require extensive widening, with three lanes in each direction between at least 22nd Avenue and 32nd Avenue. This would require reconstruction and possible reconfiguration of the interchange at I-29/6th Street. Traffic demand at 6th Street/22nd Avenue will require a massive intersection with multiple turn lanes on each leg, including a northbound to eastbound triple right turn and a westbound to southbound triple left turn. Installation of improvements of this magnitude would likely cause confusion for many South Dakota drivers and could lead to safety problems. Widening of this magnitude would also likely create conflicts with the existing frontage roads and reduce the area for frontage road and side street storage and circulation. Alternative 1 – Eastbrook Drive overpass. This alternative involves building a new Interstate overpass approximately 2000’ south of the existing 6th Street interchange, connecting Eastbrook Drive with the existing industrial park roadway system. It would provide the greatest traffic relief for 6th Street, but would bring drivers headed west to a T-intersection at 22nd Avenue. This lack of continuity with the arterial street system west of 22nd Avenue makes for more complicated route-finding and could result in more through-traffic cutting through residential neighborhoods. The route also cuts through a man-made storm water detention area just west of Interstate 29. Traffic volume and level of service details are shown in Figures 11 and 11a. Recommended lane configurations are shown in Figures 12 and 12a. Alternative 2 – 8th Street South underpass. At first glance, this alternative appears to hold promise – 8th Street South already is grade separated from Interstate 29, passing next to the Canadian Pacific rail tracks. It is separated from 6th Street by about 4900’ and would provide good traffic relief for the industrial park. On closer examination, though, some of the promise of this alternative seems to evaporate. Much of the roadway is in private hands and not technically open for public travel. The Interstate underpass is too narrow for an arterial roadway, especially when the space is shared with a railroad (the existing underpass might provide an opportunity for recreational trail access to the industrial park area, however). As in Alternative 1, 8th Street South intersects at 22nd Avenue in a T- intersection. A possible connection to Orchard Street would create a full intersection, but would direct cross-town traffic onto a minor collector street. Traffic volume and level of service details are shown in Figures 13 and 13a. Recommended lane configurations are shown in Figures 14 and 14a. Alternative 3 – 20th Street South overpass. This alternative involves building a new Interstate overpass approximately two miles south of 6th Street. This location is on a section line and already provides some existing east-west right-of-way and arterial street continuity to the west of the study area. It also lies on a direct route between future jobs Brookings Industrial Park 25 Traffic Impact Study in the industrial park and future homes on the south side of the city. The existing golf course would need to be avoided, but there is room to divert the roadway slightly without impacting existing homes or businesses. The alternative provides reasonable relief for traffic demands on 6th Street. Traffic volumes and level of service details are shown in Figures 15 and 15a. Recommended lane configurations are shown in Figures 16 and 16a. Alternative 4 – 26th Street South overpass. This alternative involves building a new Interstate overpass approximately 2.5 miles south of 6th Street. It provides some traffic relief for 6th Street, but doesn’t provide continuity across the city. It is also south of projected residential development, requiring drivers to drive out of their way between new homes and new jobs. Traffic volumes and level of service details are shown in Figures 17 and 17a. Recommended lane configurations are shown in Figures 18 and 18a. Alternative 5 – 32nd Street South overpass. This alternative involves improving the existing Interstate overpass approximately 3 miles south of 6th Street. It does the least of any of the alternatives to provide traffic relief for 6th Street, but does provide continuity to the arterial street system. Use of this route would require drivers to travel as much as two miles farther than they would using other alternatives. Traffic volumes and level of service details are shown in Figures 19 and 19a. Recommended lane configurations are shown in Figures 20 and 20a. All six alternatives are compared in Table 2: Alternatives Evaluation Matrix. Each alternative is graded according to their effect on the seven evaluation criteria. The seven criteria are given equal weight (4 points), except for traffic service, which is given double weight. The traffic service factor is viewed by the community as being the primary reason for considering the alternatives and the most important factor in making the decision between the alternatives. Comparative cost estimates for each alternative are summarized in Table 3 and details are provided in the Appendix. Please note that these cost estimates are based on high- level planning and general costs. They are not based on the detailed design work that yields a firm construction cost estimate. The estimates should be used solely for comparison of the relative costs of the alternatives. Upon evaluating all the factors affecting each alternative, it appears that Option 3, the 20th Street South overpass option rises to the top. Its cost is higher than many of the other alternatives, but considerably less than making improvements on 6th Street to carry future traffic. It provides the best combination of traffic service and continuity, and the environmental screening found no potentially fatal flaws.

Traffic Impact Study Chapter 6: Implementation Plan The preceding analysis forecast future traffic service demand for the industrial park area in Brookings, South Dakota. The analysis found that there are congestion and delay problems already existing and that improvements to the transportation system will be necessary to avoid more severe problems in the future. Several improvement alternatives were proposed and evaluated for their ability to provide traffic relief. The evaluation also considered the impacts on safety, environmental factors, geometric compatibility, land use, and existing utilities. Finally, the relative cost of each alternative was considered. Based on the analysis, one alternative appeared to rank highest. That alternative, which involves building a grade-separated crossing of Interstate 29 at 20th Street South, along with improvements to the connecting arterial street system, is therefore recommended for inclusion in local and state construction programs. Construction programs list projects to be completed in particular years, depending on available funding. Forecasting future funding is uncertain in the best of times and even more uncertain in the current national economic downturn. Therefore, the following projects are indexed to general time periods. Short-term projects may be accomplished within the next 5 years, mid-term projects may be done between 5 and 10 years from now, and long-term projects may be done after 10 years from now. The work necessary to complete a connection using a new 20th Street South overpass was divided into two projects, which may be funded and constructed using different means. The first project may be built whether or not the overpass is built and can serve as part of the local arterial street system. Project List 1. 34th Avenue, from 6th Street to 20th Street – construct 2-3 lane arterial street with improved at-grade railroad crossing – near term. 2. 20th Street South, from 22nd Avenue to 34th Avenue – construct 2-3 lane arterial street with grade-separated overpass of Interstate 29 – mid term. Crossings of the Interstate highway system lie within the jurisdiction of the Federal Highway Administration and the South Dakota Department of Transportation. Federal policy establishes the conditions for access to the Interstate system. While a grade- separated overpass does not actually provide access to the Interstate system, the policy elements have been checked to provide some assurance that this location will not conflict with policy, should future access be requested. The policy elements and responses are listed below: Brookings Industrial Park 53 Traffic Impact Study 1. The existing interchanges and/or local roads and streets in the corridor can neither provide the necessary access nor be improved to satisfactorily accommodate the design- year traffic demands while at the same time providing the access intended by the proposal. Traffic analysis has shown that existing Interstate crossings cannot provide adequate future service. While 6th Street may be improved to address future demand, the improvements are estimated to be more expensive than providing alternate access and will create non-standard intersections with potential safety implications. 2. All reasonable alternatives for design options, location and transportation system management type improvements (such as ramp metering, mass transit, and HOV facilities) have been assessed and provided for if currently justified, or provisions are included for accommodating such facilities if a future need is identified. This is an isolated congestion problem within an essentially rural area. The use of ramp metering and HOV facilities has not proven cost-effective in South Dakota. Mass transit is confined to small systems in the larger cities and demand-responsive systems in some smaller towns. None of these alternatives appear to provide sufficient relief for the congestion experienced in this case. 3. The proposed access point does not have a significant adverse impact on the safety and operation of the Interstate facility based on an analysis of current and future traffic. The operational analysis for existing conditions shall, particularly in urbanized areas, include an analysis of sections of Interstate to and including at least the first adjacent existing or proposed interchange on either side. Crossroads and other roads and streets shall be included in the analysis to the extent necessary to assure their ability to collect and distribute traffic to and from the interchange with new or revised access points. Detailed analysis of the Interstate system will need to be done under traffic conditions at the time of any request for access. Analysis done in this study, however, shows that relieving crossroad congestion on 6th Street has the potential to improve the ramp terminal operations. Mainline operations appear to be running at a high level of service currently. 4. The proposed access connects to a public road only and will provide for all traffic movements. Less than “full interchanges” for special purpose access for transit vehicles, for HOV’s, or into park and ride lots may be considered on a case-by-case basis. The proposed access will be designed to meet or exceed current standards for Federal-aid projects on the Interstate System. It appears that any access at this location can be designed to satisfy this element of the policy. 5. The proposal considers and is consistent with local and regional land use and transportation plans. Prior to final approval, all requests for new or revised access must be consistent with the metropolitan and/or statewide transportation plan, as appropriate, the applicable provisions of 23 CFR part 450 and the transportation conformity requirements of 40 CFR parts 51 and 93. This study establishes the connection between future land use and transportation plans and transportation system improvements at this location. Future planning and transportation analysis should continue to maintain this relationship. 6. In areas where the potential exists for future multiple interchange additions, all requests for new or revised access are supported by a comprehensive Interstate network study with recommendations that address all proposed and desired access within the Brookings Industrial Park 54 Traffic Impact Study context of a long-term plan. The Interstate Corridor Study, completed in 2001, recommended an additional interchange at the existing 32nd Street South overpass. The analysis in the current report indicates that an overpass at that location may still be needed in the long-term future, but that the 20th Street South overpass provides a more significant system improvement for the mid-term. The South Dakota Department of Transportation intends to update the Interstate Corridor Study in coming years. 7. The request for a new or revised access generated by new or expanded development demonstrates appropriate coordination between the development and related or otherwise required transportation system improvements. This study provides the coordination between industrial park development and related transportation improvements. Additional Interstate access is not requested at this time. 8. The request for new or revised access contains information relative to the planning requirements and the status of the environmental processing of the proposal. This study has provided an initial environmental screening for improvements at this location. While improvements or future access will require more detailed environmental review, no potential environmental “deal-breakers” have been found so far.

Project: Brookings Industrial Park TIS Date: October, 2008 Project No: 82580 RE: Brookings Industrial Park TIS 1.0 Project Background The large employers in the Brookings Industrial Park and officials in the City of Brookings have concerns about current and future traffic conditions. Several of the largest employers are separated from the rest of the city by Interstate 29 (I-29), causing all the employees to utilize the existing I-29 crossings. As the businesses grow and are joined by others, the existing I-29 crossings will experience increased traffic. HDR has conducted traffic counts and evaluated existing traffic operations. HDR has also forecast future traffic conditions and evaluated the associated quality of future traffic operations. The perceived need for additional I-29 crossings has been considered and options have been developed. This technical memorandum provides an environmental screening of the Options. 2.0 Introduction This technical memorandum provides information on the environmental screening for the Brookings Industrial Park Traffic Impact Study (TIS) (the Project). The Project is located in Brookings County, South Dakota, near the eastern edge of Brookings. Figure 1 displays the Study Area for this Project. This environmental screening focuses on the portions of the Study Area within and along five proposed Options developed for I-29 crossings. This screening does not evaluate the following resources as they do not appear to be impacted long term by the Project: energy, air quality, water quality, visual impacts, environmental justice, noise, farmland, floodplain, and wild and scenic rivers. The screening also does not address the resource of threatened and endangered species. Agency coordination will be needed to make a determination of the effect of the Options in regards to Threatened and Endangered species and should be coordinated during the Environmental Assessment (EA). This screening provides information on the regulations and guidance that apply impacts to public facilities, railroads, Section 4(f) and 6(f) properties, wetlands and other waters of the U.S., land use, hazardous waste, and archeological resources. Each section describes the data sources available for analysis, discusses the methodology used to conduct environmental screening, and lists the findings of the analysis for each environmental issue. The five Options analyzed as part of this environmental screening are the following: o Option 1 follows Eastbrook Drive extending east across I-29. Option 1 then extends from I-29 to 34th Avenue. o Option 2 follows Orchard Drive east across I-29 to 34th Avenue. . o Option 3 extends 20th Street crossing I-29. o Option 4 extends 26th Street to cross I-29. o Option 5 extends 32nd Street crossing I-29.

Further analysis of the Options should occur concurrently with the future steps of this project. This technical memorandum is intended to be a desktop environmental review; therefore it can be utilized during the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) process, but it does not replace that important process. 3.0 Public Facilities Existing Conditions Public facilities include the City Hall, library, auditorium, schools, emergency response buildings, and communication, power, gas, water, and wastewater utilities. The following public facilities would be affected by one or more of the Options:  Edgebrook Golf Course is a municipal 18-hole golf course, located at 1415 22nd Ave South (See Figure 1).  The Brookings East Water Plant is located 300 feet east of I-29 and 50 feet south of Orchard Drive (See Figure 1). The City of Brookings receives its water supply from underground aquifers, which is processed at the East Water Plant. An aquifer located two miles east of Brookings supplies water to the East Plant. The aquifer covers an area of approximately 20 square miles (See Figure 1).  Also since the Project is located within the city limits, infrastructure such as utility lines and the sewer system are public facilities. The Project will need to coordinate the utilities at the time of preliminary design of the preferred Option. Option Impact Analysis Options 1, 4 and 5 would not impact any public facilities. Option 2 is adjacent to the Brookings East Water Plant; however, no relocation of buildings associated with the water plant would be required. Option 2 would also provide an access roadway and would improve the access to the water plant. Option 3 has been designed to minimize impacts to the Edgebrook Golf Course. Any impacts to the golf course would be treated as 4 (f) and 6 (f) impacts since Land and Water Conservation Funds (LWCF) were utilized to develop the golf course. No major utility conflicts are anticipated with any of the Options. 4.0 Railroads Existing Conditions One active rail line exists within the Study Area (See Figure 1). Existing at-grade crossings of the DM&E rail line are located at 22nd Avenue and 34th Avenue within the Study Area. According to a representative of DM&E, approximately two trains traveling west and two trains traveling east are on the rail line daily (Lynn, 2008). Option Analysis Option 1 will not impact the DM&E rail line. Option 2 is located south and adjacent to the existing DM&E rail line. The Option 2 alignment will not impact the existing DM&E rail line.

For this study, an overpass and at-grade crossing are being considered for each Option. Coordination with DM&E and further analysis will determine if an at-grade or overpass crossing will be warranted. HDR Engineering, Inc. 6300 S. Old Village Place Suite 100 Sioux Falls, SD 57108-2101 Phone (977) 977-7740 Fax (977) 977-7747 www.hdrinc.com Page 5 of 13 5.0 Section 4(f) and 6(f) Resources Section 4(f) states, in part, that “It is the policy of the United States Government that special effort be made to preserve the natural beauty of the countryside and public park and recreation lands, wildlife and waterfowl refuges, and historic sites” (49 USC 303). Section 4(f) requires that the USDOT determine whether a proposed highway project would adversely affect a Section 4(f) resource. If a project would affect a Section 4(f) resource, all feasible and prudent ways of avoiding this impact must be evaluated. Section 4(f) properties are as follows: o Public Recreation Areas o Public Parks o Public Wildlife and/or waterfowl refuges o Significant historic properties (excluding those properties only eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Properties (NRHP) under Criterion D; these properties are also protected under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Publicly owned land is considered to be a park, recreation area or wildlife and waterfowl refuge when the land has been officially designated as such by a Federal, State, or local agency and the officials of these governments entities, have jurisdiction over the land, determine that one of its major purposes and functions is for park, recreation, or as a wildlife refuge. Depending on the intensity and duration of the potential impact to park land, and whether it is permanent or temporary, Section 4(f) impacts are classified as a direct use, a constructive use, or a temporary occupancy, in accordance with the FHWA Section 4(f) Policy paper and supporting regulations. Section 6(f) of the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Act of 1965 was established to protect Federal investments and maintain high-quality recreation resources (NPS, 2004). The National Park Service administers Section 6(f), which protects parks and recreation areas that were acquired, developed, or rehabilitated, even in part, with the use of any Federal land and water grant funds. All Federal agencies must comply with Section 6(f) (16 USC 4601-4 to -11 et seq., as amended). Section 6(f) states that no lands that have been paid for in part or in entirety by Federal land and water grants can be converted to non-park or non-recreation uses without the approval of the National Park Service. Existing Conditions The Study Area contains two recreational parks and one bicycle/pedestrian trail. The recreational parks include Edgebrook Golf Course and Larson Park. Both parks are public (city-owned) recreational areas (See Figure 2). Larson Park is used for walking and winter activities such as sledding. The use of Larson Park is recreational; therefore Larson Park is protected as a Section 4(f) resource. Larson Park is located south of Yorkshire Drive and east of 22nd Avenue. The park was developed with Land and Water Conservation Funds (Richards, 2008). The park could then be considered a 6(f) Resource. Edgebrook Golf Course is also located within the Study Area. Edgebrook Golf Course is a municipal 18-hole golf course, located at 1415 22nd Ave South. The first nine holes of the golf course were developed utilizing Land and Water Conservation Funds while the additional nine holes did not utilize that funding source (Richards, 2008). Edgebrook Golf Course could be considered a 6(f) Resource. HDR Engineering, Inc. 6300 S. Old Village Place Suite 100 Sioux Falls, SD 57108-2101 Phone (977) 977-7740 Fax (977) 977-7747 www.hdrinc.com Page 6 of 13 The bike trail within the Study Area extends throughout Larson Park and crosses Sunrise Ridge Road. The trail continues parallel along I-29 behind 3M Manufacturing and extends to Edgebrook Golf Course. From Edgebrook Golf Course, the bicycle/pedestrian trail borders the northern boundary of golf course and follows 22nd Avenue, north and south. The portion of the bike trail within Larson Park was developed with Land and Conservation Funds as part of that park, but the remainder of the bike trail was developed using local funds (Richards, 2008). The bicycle/pedestrian trail could be considered a Section 4(f) resource, but not a Section 6 (f) resource. For the Project, coordination would need to occur to determine if these resources will be declared a Section 4(f) or Section 6(f) resource. HDR has provided guidance for each of the resources, but the final decision will be up to the agency in charge of the resource and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Option Impact Analysis The preliminary layout of Options 1 through 5 would avoid Larson Park, so no impact would occur to that Section 4 (f) and 6 (f) resource. Option 1 is the closest in proximity, approximately 300 feet from Larson Park. Through early coordination with the City of Brookings Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Department, it was determined that Edgebrook Golf Course received Land and Water Conservation Funds to develop the original nine holes. The concept design layout for Option 3 has been developed to avoid land acquisition from the Edgebrook Golf Course. There may be temporary construction impacts to the golf course, for which agency coordination would be required. Options 1, 2, 4 and 5 avoid the Edgebrook Golf Course, and therefore would not impact this Section 4 (f) and 6 (f) Resource. Options 1 and 2 will intersect the bicycle/pedestrian trail. Coordination with the City of Brookings Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Department would need to occur since the trail is a Section 4(f) Resource. The Project has proposed to create a bicycle/pedestrian path tunnel for Option 1, which could enhance the existing trail. Options 3, 4, and 5 would not impact the bicycle/pedestrian trail. 6.0 Land Use Existing Conditions Land use in the Study Area is identified as residential, business, and industrial. The majority of the area north of Orchard Drive is industrial with business such as Daktronics, Twin City Fan and Blower Company, Larson Manufacturing, and several hotels. The area north of 20th Street and south of Orchard Drive is primarily gravel pits with one large business, 3M. A portion of this area is recreational, the Edgebrook Golf Course. The area south of 20th Street that extends to the southern boundary of the Study Area is residential with gravel pits and cropland. Option Impact Analysis The Project is intended to relieve traffic congestion within the Study Area. Options 1 and 2 will occur within industrial areas and will benefit these areas by creating connectivity to and from residential areas. Options 3 and 4 are located near a residential area and within an agricultural area. Option 5 is located near existing gravel pits and agricultural areas. Although these Options will require a conversion of land use for this Project, this Project is consistent with the future plans for the City of Brookings. HDR Engineering, Inc. 6300 S.

The South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is responsible for Section 401 Water Quality Certification for any project requiring a federal permit or license that includes a discharge into a water of the state. The Section 404 Permit decision by USACE will be made based upon a future wetland delineation conducted in accordance with the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (1987 Manual) (Environmental Laboratory, 1987), which will include identification of hydrophytic vegetation1, indicators of wetland hydrology, and indicators of hydric soils. The information provided in this memorandum constitutes wetland and waters of the U.S. desktop determinations, which are not sufficient for a Section 404 Permit application. Existing Conditions Data Sources and Types A desktop wetland determination was conducted to identify areas that would require a field survey. Data sources included aerial photography, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 Minute Quadrangles, Soil Survey of Brookings County, South Dakota (USDA NRCS 2004), Brookings County Hydric Soils List (USDA NRCS, 2007), and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) mapping (USFWS, 1992) for the Project Area. Methodology The methodology used to conduct the wetlands and waters of the U.S. determinations was the completion of a desktop analysis to identify areas that have been previously mapped as NWI wetlands and areas on aerial photographs that contained wetland signatures, such as flooded or drowned out crops, bright green vegetation, or areas of visible inundation. Streams, ditches and other waterways were identified on topographic coverages from USGS 7.5 Minute Quadrangles and from the aerial photography. Option Impact Analysis The desktop wetland determination identified areas that displayed wetland signatures within the Study Area, focusing on the Option alignments. The potential wetlands were identified as potentially jurisdictional2. Table 1 lists the acres of wetland that will be affected by each Option. Figure 3 illustrates the existing wetlands in the Study Area and the impacts of the options. Table 1 Wetland Impacts Option Wetland Impacts (acres)* 1 2.57 2 1.10 3 0.93 4 1.18 5 0.16 * Impact areas assume no retaining walls for the various Options 1 Hydrophytic vegetation is defined herein as the sum total of macrophytic plant life that occurs in areas where the frequency and duration of inundation or soil saturation produce permanently or periodically saturated soils of sufficient duration to exert a controlling influence on the plant species present (1987 Manual). 2 Areas have been determined to be jurisdictional by HDR, but are labeled “Potentially Jurisdictional,” as final jurisdictional determination is subject to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers review.

All Options utilized existing Right-of-Way (ROW) to the extent feasible, thus avoiding wetland areas. The wetland impacts listed in the table are unavoidable because the wetlands extend several hundred feet outside of the existing ROW. 8.0 Archeological and Historic Resources Existing Conditions An archeological and structure background records search was conducted for the Brookings TIS Study in October 2008 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. The data is preliminary and not intended for public use. An archeological and structure background records search displays sites that have been documented previously by cultural surveys. The background search can be utilized as guidance but the entire Study Area may not have been previously surveyed. Therefore an archeological and historic structures survey should be conducted once the preliminary design process begins. The background records search revealed one archeological site, six structures, and three bridges previously recorded within the Study Area (See Figure 3). Three surveys are previously recorded in the Project Area (See Attachment A). The data should be used to conduct a survey of cultural resources once the preliminary design process begins. The archeological and historic structures survey should then be submitted to SD State Historical Preservation Office (SHPO) for review and concurrence with determination of effects. Option Analysis Option 1 does not appear to affect any of the recorded cultural resources. Options 2, 3, 4, and 5 will include the improvement of 34th Avenue. The improvement of 34th Avenue will require an at-grade or overpass crossing of the DM&E rail line. The DM&E rail line was previously the Chicago Northwestern Railroad, Site 39BK2003 (See Figure 1). Therefore, Options 2, 3, 4, and 5 will cross Site 39BK2003. Railroad sites in South Dakota are considered to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) due to its potential to yield, or having yielded, information important in history (Criterion D). The site could also be eligible under Criterion A for its association with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history (i.e. railroad development). Further analysis should be completed for this site to determine if the Project will adversely affect Site 39BK2003. Option 3 does affect one previously recorded cultural resource, BK0000575. BK0000575 is a vacant wood building located east of I-29 and north of 20th Street. This building has been documented but further analysis is needed to determine if it is eligible for the NRHP. Option 5 does affect one previously recorded building, BK0000509, and one previously recorded bridge, BK00002156. BK0000509 is concrete building located on the north of 32nd Street and east of 20th Avenue. Further analysis of this building is needed to determine if it is eligible for the NRHP. BK00002156 is a bridge built in 1966 and has been determined to be Not Eligible for the NRHP. HDR Engineering, Inc. 6300 S.
