Project Constraints

Site Soil Conditions - There is limited information regarding soil conditions in the project location. Current web soil surveys do not provide sufficient data, and conducting soil borings along the alignment is not within the scope of this project. To address this issue, soil reports from recently completed projects in Bellemont will be used to estimate site soil conditions.

FEMA Flood Zone A - The proposed alignment crosses through a FEMA flood zone. This specific flood zone is identified as Zone A, meaning no formal FEMA study has established a flood elevation for this zone. The team will have to research flood insurance studies to determine a floodplain elevation. 

Weather - Weather in Bellmont will make it difficult for the team to conduct a site investigation once snowfall begins. To avoid adverse conditions, the team will conduct the site investigation in mid-October.
