Free 2 Horse Stable Stall Barn House Construction Height Plans

Alternative D would result in three stables at existing stable locations and the development of two new stable locations with a maximum capacity of 88 equestrian stalls. Tennessee Valley, Golden Gate Dairy, and Rodeo Valley stables would remain as equestrian sites, with a reduction in the number of horses at Golden Gate Dairy from 11 down to a maximum of four horses. New stables would be developed at Lower Redwood Creek and Marincello Trail sites. The Park Horse Patrol would be located at the Marincello site.

Taking all impacts together, the differences between the various alternatives are not great. However, Alternative C is anticipated to have the least adverse impacts due to the least number of stables sites. With two sites being stables as opposed to three, four or five sites in the other alternatives, the impacts associated with horse operations would be geographically confined to those two areas, Tennessee Valley and Rodeo Valley, and would not occur in the Redwood Creek drainage (Golden Gate Dairy and Lower Redwood Creek sites), Marincello Road area, or Lower Tennessee Valley. This reduces adverse impacts overall. One of the project objectives is to improve water quality and reduce soil erosion at the facilities. Alternative C would provide for the best protection of natural resources by reducing drainage problems and potentially contaminated water leeching into nearby drainages compared to the other alternatives. For these reasons, Alternative C was selected as the environmentally preferred alternative. Alternative C provides the most advantages with regard to the evaluation factors of natural resource protection when compared to the other action alternatives.

The EA will be available for a 45-day public review and comment period. Written comments received on the EA will be screened to determine whether any important new issues or reasonable alternatives or mitigation measures have been suggested. If major substantive issues are raised which point to the potential for significant impacts, an Environmental Impact Statement would be prepared, otherwise a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) will be prepared.

A simple way to measure the absorbed energy was conducted in this study. With a certain similarity to the Hatt-Turner Test (ASTM D 143), a drop weight applies an impact load to the test object while the height of drop weight is increased step-wise until failure occurs. This approach avoids the determination of the remaining energy after sample failure so that no electronic measurement equipment is required. One of the weaknesses of this test set-up is the variation of the impact velocity when mass and the initial position of the drop weight has to be adapted to reach a certain impact load. Furthermore, the lack of data during failure prevents detailed information on the fracture.
