Part 3 Determination of Significance
For every question in Part 2 that was answered"moderate to large impact may occur",or if there is a need to explain why a
particular element of the proposed action may or will not result in a significant adverse environmental impact,please
complete Part 3.Part 3 should,in sufficient detail,identify the impact,including any measures or design elements that
have been included by the project sponsor to avoid or reduce impacts. Part 3 should also explain how the lead agency
determined that the impact may or will not be significant.Each potential impact should be assessed considering its setting,
probability of occurring,duration,irreversibility,geographic scope and magnitude. Also consider the potential for short-
term,long-term and cumulative impacts.
TfA portion of the project is a replacement"in kind"with the same size water main.A section of existing 6 inch
main on Joanne Dr and Park lane is being replaced with a new 8 inch main.This will assure adequate fire flow to
this area, however the area that can be served will remain unchanged.The Town of Ithaca has standardized the
minimum size of water mains being placed to be 8 inches. When considered in the context of the entire Town public
water system, however, the increase in size of this main in this location is not expected to have a significant impact
on growth and development.
