The project’s study area is the area within which potential environmental, social and economic impacts from the project may directly occur. It is also called the Area of Potential Impact (API). The study area is in the north end of Bend. It extends along US 97 from the Deschutes Market Road/Tumalo Junction interchange to approximately Butler Market Road, and along US 20 from approximately Old Bend-Redmond Highway to Butler Market Road. It also encompasses the area between US 97 and US 20 south of Fort Thompson Road. The study area extends about 100 feet on either side of the combined preliminary project footprint for the project alternatives. The preliminary project footprint is the estimated maximum extent of potential ground disturbing activities.
