Project History
In2008,theVirginiaGeneralAssemblypassedHouseBill6028,directingHamptonRoadsTransit(HRT)
tostudytheexpansionofTheTide(HRTsLightRailTransitSysteminNorfolk)eastwardtotheVirginia
Beachoceanfront.Incompliancewiththislegislation,theVirginiaBeachTransitExtensionStudy
(VBTES)wasinitiatedasthefirststeprequiredfortheFederalTransitAdministrations(FTA)NewStarts
Program,acompetitivefederalgrantprogramthatmayfundconstructionofthetransitextension.
ADraftEnvironmentalImpactStatement(DEIS)hasbeenpreparedfortheVBTES.TheDEISoutlinesthe

HRTretainedHDR,Inc.astheprimeengineeringandplanningfirmtoresearchandconducttheoverall

existingwetlandresourcesintheVBTESCorridor.TheinitialfieldinvestigationoftheVBTESCorridor
wasconductedin2009.Aftercompletionofthefieldwork,theproposedprojectwasplacedonhold.In
2013,theprojectmovedforwardandfieldworkwasagainundertaken.Atthattime,theboundariesand
characteristicsofwetlandsthatwereinvestigatedin2009werereconfirmedinthefieldand
adjustmentsweremadeasappropriatebasedonthecurrentconditions.In2013,analignmentthat

TheVBTESprojectinvolvesassessingtheenvironmentalimpactofvarioustransitalternativesincluding

Federal Regulations
TheArmyCorpsofEngineers(USACE)isthefederalagencythatregulateswetlandsundertheClean
WaterAct(CWA)of1972(33USC1251etseq.).Theydefinewetlandsbasedonthepresenceof
hydrophyticvegetation,hydricsoils,andwetlandhydrologyasdefinedinthe1987USACEWetland
DelineationManual(TRY871).TheUSACEregulateswetlandsassociatedwithhydrologicfeatures
connectedtointerstatewaters(e.g.,connectedtostreamsthatultimatelydraintotheChesapeakeBay).
Thereisnowetlandbufferregulatedunderfederaljurisdiction.TheUSACEhasjurisdictionunderthe
CWAtoregulatethedischargeofdredgedorfillmaterialintoallwatersoftheUnitedStatesincluding
