It is assumed by both the City and the Engineer that the APE will be 150 feet from existing /proposed ROW. This scope of work follows TxDOT — Environmental Affairs Division (ENV) guidance regarding reconnaissance -level historic resource surveys (2008). A reconnaissance - level survey and documentation will be required along the study area. c) Social and Economic Issues: i) Environmental Justice — A description of impacts to minorities or special groups, etc., if any.
