to reinforced concrete pipe. Only minor grading of the ditches to tie into the new culverts is proposed. The reconstruction of the streets within Countryside Estates are proposed to be a Full -Depth Reclamation (FDR). Typical impacts of FDR projects including matching into driveways and boulevards approximately 6 to 8 feet from the edge of pavement is anticipated. To achieve the proposed pavement section of 3.5-inches of bituminous over 4.0-inches of aggregate base (made up of recycled FDR material), the project will require over excavating 2-inches of subbase material. The streets within Wildwood Acres are proposed to be reconstructed by reclamation. Typical impacts of reclamation projects include 1 to 2 feet of the boulevard adjacent to the pavement, as required to keep any vegetation and/or topsoil out of the reclamation. Driveway impacts are not anticipated. This process will include reclamation of the existing bituminous and aggregate base, hauling out 2.5-inches of excess reclamation material and replacing with 2.5-inches of new bituminous pavement on top of the in -place reclamation. Restoration of the impacted boulevards will include a minimum of 4-inches topsoil and hydroseed with a residential turf seed mix. Municipal utilities do not exist within the project area, extension of municipal utilities to this subdivision are not proposed as it is outside the 2040 MUSA.
