The roadway will be in close proximity to existing residences and bring noise, light, and pollution to a rural area. The roadway extension will require a total of three separate crossings of the unnamed tributary to Dardenne Creek and 2 wetland impact areas. The extension will disturb a historic property consisting of features that represent ruins of a 19th century log cabin of the Hopewell African American Community. The site is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The extension will also remove 8.5 acres of forested areas that are suitable summer habitat for two endangered bat species, Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) and northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), and the proposed endangered, tri-colored bat (Perimyotis subflavus).
