Environmental Assessment
For
McNeil Area Community Development Project
A. Direct loan /grant to property - owners to bring their houses'up to City standards.
B. Extension and improvement of streets.
C. Provide water and sewer services to unserved neighborhoods.
1. Project Decription
The City of Round Rock proposes to undertake with HUD Community Development
Block Grant Fund community improvement projects in neighborhoods in the general
vicinity of McNeil Road (Map 1). Community improvement projects include:
a. Direct loan /grant to proerty owners to bring their houses up to City
Standards. -
b. Extension and improvement of streets - -
c. Provide water and sewer services to unserved neighborhoods.
2. Existing Environmental Conditions
The MOPAC Railroad runs parallel to McNeil Road from US 81 (South Mays) to
the western City limits. The area is residential in character with houses built in
early 1900's to the early 1960's. Many of the houses are in generally poor con-
dition. Their conditions are amplified by the discarded household funiture, ap-
pliances and junk autos. In general the yards are unkeep and many do not have any
signs of yard lines. .
Non- residential zoned tracts in the area are located along major rail and
highway transportation arterials. (Map 2) This arrangement of land use is in
accord with the Round Rock Comprehensive Plan.
The area has an approximate one percent slop to the north and east. Lime-
stone is exposed throughout the area. The limestone terrain of the area transmit
water. This is particularly important to the City of Round Rock as water trans-
mitted through the limestone enters the Edwards The Edwards Aquifer is
the source of water for the City of Round Rock. Existing conditions in the McNeil
area causes a potential for pollution to the aquifer.
A natural drainage way runs through the area. The drainage way has been im-
proved to carry the'run -off of new development to the south of the area. Wildlife
native the area are those common to the surrounding countryside, although
development and use of the area for residential purpose has long since driven
away larger wildlife such as deer which undoubtedly was once common.
Public improvements in the McNeil Area are rather poor. Several of the streets
are unpaved. This causes problem for the area residents during wet and dry periods.
Dust from unpaved streets add to bad appearance of houses in the area. The paving of
streets will resolve some of the problem.
There is no public water and sewer in several neighborhoods along McNeil Road.
The only source of water in these neighborhoods are private individual hells.
Generally houses located in these neighborhoods lack indoor water and sewer. The
use of outdoor pit privies provide the major means of disposing of human waste.
The few septic tank systems in the area are in various stages of malfunction and
disrepair.
The extension of water and sewer lines to all neighborhoods in the McNeil
Area, and making available direct loans and grants to area residents to make
necessary improvements in their homes to bring them up to City Standards will
have a positive effect on the McNeil Road Area. The paving of all streets will
provide and added positive effect on the area.
3. Environmental Impact of the Proposed Action
If implemented as proposed, the extension of water and sewer lines, street
improvement and housing rehab loan program will have a very positive impact on the
area by delaying any future deterioration. Disturbances to the environment would
include minimum construction noise and dust.
4. Mitigating Measures Included in the Proposed Action
Expect to make every effort in planning and construction phases to limit
adverse environmental effects, no special efforts to mitigate particulary adverse
effects are proposed or believed necessary. It is felt that the overall impact of
the project will be a beneficial one ' r - . •
•
5. An Adverse Environmental Effects Which Cannot be Avioded Should the Proposal
be Implemented.
In general, the comments noted in item 3 and 4 respond to the question.
6. The Relationship Between Local Short -Tern Uses of Man's Environment and the
Maintenance and Enhancement of Long -Tern Productively.
The short -term impact, loss of wildlife habitant, changes in traffic volumes
and patterns, and increase in air and noise pollution due to increased auto and
rail traffic has already been felt in the area as a result of growth in the
Austin SMSA..
The paving of streets would retard air pollution due to dust. The extension
of public water and sewer would remove a potential health problem. The making
available funds for residents to bring their homes up to City__Standards will
provide positive long term effect on residential development in the area. The.
proposed project. must be considered as an effort to delay any future deteriora-
tion of the area.
7. Irreversible and Irretievable Commitments of Resource which Would be Involved
No destruction or damage to historic sites, archaeological findings or the
elimiation of any endangered species are anticipated or even considered a pos-
sibility.
8. Alternatives to Proposed Action
The only alternatives is to do nothing.
