The assessment and evaluation of the proposed project's impacts were based on "neighborhoods" as defined by the cities of Burien, Des Moines, Federal Way, Normandy Park, and Tukwila. For the Highline School District, each area served by each elementary, middle and high school were assessed. Each neighborhood matrix presents environmental, transportation, and socio-economic impacts. Each matrix is divided into the following columns: • Measure • Impact • Mitigation • Cost The type of impact being assessed. For example, aircraft noise (DNL and SEL). cultural resources, local streets, and public safety are just a few of the measures being considered. The quantifiable effect experienced in each neighborhood. For example, if one-third or more of a neighborhood is within a particular noise contour, the whole neighborhood is considered to be impacted by that contour. The action necessary to address the specific impact. For example, buying out and redeveloping a neighborhood is one form of mitigation. The estimated cost of implementing each specific mitigation action. NEIGHBORHOOD Et~~ v IRONMENTAL IMPACTS MEASURE !
