Lake County Board of County Commission Department of Public Works has completed a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study for extending and widening Hartle Road in Lake County. The project limits were from Hartwood Marsh Road to SR 50. Welcome Welcome to the Hartle Road PD&E Study Web site. Within these pages, you can learn about the study process in general and obtain project specific information. What is a PD&E Study? The PD&E Study is an extensive process that was developed in order to determine social, economic and environmental impacts associated with a proposed transportation improvement project. This process, mandated by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), is a combined effort of professionals who analyze the project-related information to develop the best alternative for a community’s transportation needs. The PD&E Study consists of three equally important elements: preliminary engineering, environmental assessment, and public involvement. The preliminary engineering efforts focus on the design and technical aspects of the various alternatives developed for the corridor. The environmental assessment element evaluates potential impacts for both the natural (such as: wetlands, wildlife corridors, floodplains) and the human environment (such as: neighborhoods, churches, schools). Designed to keep the community informed, the public involvement element provides opportunities to review and comment on the studies findings. |
