ECR Number Environmental Commitment Record Requirements Description of ADOT. Responsibilities S4F-11 Where appropriate, visual intrusions will be reduced by a number of measures: • Vegetation buffers will be used to screen views of the freeway from SMPP. • Saguaros, mature trees, and other cacti likely to survive the transplanting and setting-in period will be transplanted in relatively natural areas near the proposed action to blend with the existing landscape. • Clustering or grouping plant material in an informal pattern to break up the linear form of the freeway will be utilized where appropriate to “naturalize” areas within the R/W. • Landscape treatments using native plants on the periphery of R/W areas at overpass locations and areas near residential developments will be installed where appropriate. • Aesthetic treatments and patterning will be applied to noise barriers, overpasses, abutments, retaining and screening walls. ADOT to oversee for compliance S4F-12 To set clear parameters defining the scope of the mitigation measures to be implemented and for making environmental determinations, an IGA will be created between ADOT and the City of Phoenix. For the proposed action through SMPP, ADOT will consult directly with the Phoenix City Manager’s office in representing City of Phoenix interests and on behalf of the Sonoran Preserve Advisory Committee, Phoenix Parks and Recreation Board, and the Phoenix Mountains Preservation Council and with GRIC representatives to develop the aesthetic treatment of landscaping and structures through the park/preserve. ADOT will be the signatory for any IGA between the City of Phoenix and ADOT. S4F-13 During the design phase, ADOT will consult directly with USFWS, AGFD, and the GRIC Tribal Historic Preservation Officer and Department of Environmental Quality to finalize design features and locations of the crossings designed to provide access to SMPP. ADOT will satisfy this commitment.

Replacement land will not exceed a 1:1 ratio (minus previously purchased replacement land) unless ADOT and the GRIC Tribal Historic Preservation Officer City of Phoenix determine jointly that exceeding the 1:1 ratio will be in the best interests of both parties. Under provisions set forth in the IGA entered into by both ADOT and Department the City of Environmental Quality to finalize design features and locations Phoenix, the City will be responsible for identification of replacement land. Once agreed upon under the terms of the crossings designed IGA, ADOT will issue payment to provide access the City of Phoenix for the acquisition of replacement land. Provisions of the IGA will ensure commitment of the transaction will be solely for the purposes of timely acquisition of public parkland within Phoenix. ADOT will satisfy this commitment.
