6.1 Elements of the No ROW ESA Screening
6.1.1 Executive Summary
The executive summary is a portion of the report which provides a summary of the transportation
project and lists the sites that need a petroleum contaminated soils (PCS) plan note based on the
findings of the No ROW ESA Screening. The executive summary is generally one page in length.
6.1.2 Introduction
An introduction should be provided which discusses the proposed transportation project and other
relevant information such as the physical setting of the project and overall land use of the area. It
is not necessary to provide more than a brief discussion of the physical setting. The introduction
should include a description of the proposed transportation project and a general discussion of the
improvements to the facility or transportation system (i.e., any drainage features to be added or
modified, location of strain poles, etc.)
6.1.3 Mapping
Mapping must be included which clearly delineates the project study area or corridor and
specifically identifies commercial, industrial, or any other properties or activities which may pose an
environmental concern. The following maps must be included in the report as a minimum:
USGS (United States Geological Services) Topographic Quadrangle Maps - These maps are
published by the USGS which provide information such as local topography, drainage, roads
and other land uses which were active at the time of mapping. These maps are available for
sale in 7.5 minute quadrangle at several organizations including ODNR (Ohio Department of
Natural Resources) and ODOT-Office of Aerial Engineering (see Appendix C).
