PDF Leopold Matrix

The document is a Leopold Matrix assessing the environmental impacts of various activities involved in a proposed development project. It rates the impacts of activities like grading, excavation, foundation work, construction, and filling on elements of the environment. Most activities are rated as having moderate negative (3) impacts on soils, landform, surface water quality, air quality, human vision, inhalation, and daily routine. Impacts on hearing, security, and fauna are typically lower (1-2). Drainage work and storage of materials may have some positive impacts rated (4-5).
