Draft 7/27/2018 9 '- It <br /> Figure 2—DEIS Section 1.1 <br /> Chapter 1 <br /> . ECUS SUMMARY <br /> 1.1 •ThrrRODUCTION <br /> An Environmental Impact Statement(ES)was done for the Boeing Master Plan expansion in <br /> 1978. The total employment estimated for that BIS was 18,550. The current employment on <br /> site is approximately 24,000. Employment on the site for the Proposed Action is estimated at <br /> 33,500. The analysis itt this DEIS evaluated traffic impacts resulting from new employment <br /> growth due to the Proposed Action. It also considers traffic impacts resulting flora previous <br /> growth in employment that accounts for the amount in excess of the 18,550 identified in the <br /> 1978 ES. <br /> • <br /> DEIS Section 1.41 shown in Figure 3 states that the Proposed Action would add 9,500 <br /> workers. The Proposed Action is the expansion to 33,500 employees upon which the <br /> analysis was based,the approval by the City was granted,and the mitigation of$47.46M <br /> was assessed.The 9,500 amount cited in Figure 3 is derived by subtracting the assumed <br /> 1989 employment level(24,000)from the assumed maximum 1995 employement level <br /> for the Proposed Action(33,500). <br /> DEIS Section 1.42 shown in Figure 3 indicates that the Proposed Action would increase <br /> the Boeing PM peak hour traffic volume to 12,300 trips. This is the same amount <br /> (rounded off)as the 12,315 amount found in Table 11 of Section 4.2.2 of Boeing's 1991 <br /> EIS. <br /> Figure 3—DEIS Section 1.4.1 & 1.4.2 <br /> 1.4 IMPACTS OP'1738 PROPOSED ACTION <br /> • <br /> 1.4.1 Raet'g*ot <br /> The Proposed Action would add approximately 9,500 workers to the Boeing Everett site. It <br /> would generate an additional 16,6Q0 daily vehicle trips. it would also generate pasting demand <br /> and additional riders for public transportation. <br /> 1.4.2 Vehicle Traffic <br /> The Proposed Action would increase the Boeing p.m.peak period traffic volume in 1995 from <br /> 9,400 to 12,300. These new trips combined with general background increases in traffic by <br /> 1995 would result in a substantial increase in traffic congestion. Almost all major roadways in <br /> the project vicinity would operate at unacceptable levels. Commute traffic through neighbor- <br /> hoods would inc .se sharply. <br /> e:\users\campk\documents\opened_from outlook\attachment c(methodology).doc <br /> 105 <br />
