Is a Categorical Exclusion Possible? Yes No Other Reservations Any action that might have significant impacts requires an EIS. However if mitigation actions would reduce the impacts below the level of significance, then an EA/FONSI fulfills NEPA's requirements. Begin the Much More Strenuous Environmental Impact Statement Process (EIS) Categorical exclusions apply to actions which would not, under normal circumstances, individually or cumulatively have a significant impact on the environment. Every agency has a published list of categorical exclusions. Scoping & Initial Writing of the EA (PA) Umatilla Review by Jerry L.

Warm Springs RTK Base Network Warm Springs Reservation Survey Base Stations NGS Survey Monument COYOTE USGS Monument 50+ years old Grouted in rock 4 Inch Pipe in soil BIA Permanent Monument Note fencepost to aid in finding station license number, and date stamp. PLSS Brass Cap (Section Corner) (Public Land Survey System) Used for GPS photo control by GIS department Poor GPS survey control Pipe wiggles when pushed by animals Unknown Origin (Not linked to original GLO notes) Bad GPS Control Point Subdivision Lot Corner Position not stable over time. Too easy to move monument. Trimble RTK Base Station • 4700 Base Receiver set up over monument with broadcast antenna and car battery power supply Base Station with nearby tree • Trees will interfere with GPS signal. Keep base monuments as far away as possible from sources of interference. GPS Survey of Neah Bay Red Vectors possible errors (tree interference) GPS Error Sources • Electrical interference from transmission tower, Setting up on Reference Monument instead of benchmark (BIG error). Setting up near Chain Link Fences and FLAT water Surfaces….IE Puddles on calm days. 4800 Rover • Trimble 4800 Rover with 1.8 meter pole gathering point data (fenceline, cmp, utility locations….) 4700 Rover with Pole • 4700 Backpack with 2.0 meter pole gathering point data. 4700 Rover (Continuous Mode) • 4700 rover mounted to backpack for topo shots. Points gathered in continuous mode (every 5? Seconds). Note height of antenna varies with operator. Tahoe Mounted 4700 Rover • GPS antenna is mounted to detachable rack on top of Chevy Tahoe to survey above passenger wheel. Height of antenna varies with vehicle. Data gathered every 1 second at 30 mph = 44 feet between points. Light area right of fog line is asphalt extruded curb. Mounting Bracket for Tahoe • Mounting bracket for 4700 receiver on Tahoe. Note : RTK receiving antenna out back window. Driver can control vehicle and start and stop data recording.
