Survey Methodology. Table 24 summarizes the characteristics of the 2008, 2009, and 2010 survey samples. In all three surveys, passengers were surveyed on-board the express buses between downtown Miami and northern Dade and Broward Counties. There have been some methodology changes from year to year, primarily in the number of days the survey was collected, and the direction in which they were conducted. Survey Day/Period Direction Surveys Passenger Response Collected Counts Rate (%) 5/27; 6–9 am S/B 266 1318* 20.2 2008 Pre- 5/28; 6–9 am S/B 213 1483* 14.4 Deployment 5/29; 4–6 pm N/B 93 387** 24.0 TOTAL 572 3188 17.9 2009 Post 5/13; 3-6 PM N/B 277 414 66.9 Phase 1A 5/14; 3-6 PM N/B 72 110 65.5 5/11; 6-9 AM S/B 281 393 71.5 5/11; 3-6 PM S/B 207 317 65.3 5/12; 6-9 AM S/B 320 N/B 591 54.1 5/12; 3-6 PM S/B 182 N/B 364 50.0 5/13; 6-9 AM S/B 105 118 89.0 2010 Post Phase 1B Deployment N/B N/B 5/13; 3-6 PM S/B N/B 75 112 67.0 * Passenger counts are for all 95 Express runs within the specified Day/Period/Direction ** MDT staff expressed concern that the passenger count on 5/29 appeared low and could be in error. In 2008, buses were sampled over three days and in both directions. In 2009, buses were sampled over two days but only in the northbound direction, hence the smaller sample size when compared to 2008. In 2010, surveys were conducted in both the a.m. and p.m. peak periods. Most were collected in the peak direction (a.m. is southbound; p.m. is northbound). However, a small number of surveys were conducted in the non-peak direction as well. Hence both “S/B” and “N/B” are annotated in Table 24 for the 2010 survey. Passenger counts were collected on the individual buses for the 2009 and 2010 surveys, while in 2008, passenger counts were collected for all 95X runs during that day/period/direction. This led to a significant difference in calculated response rates. Finally, the 2010 survey included the new Broward County routes as well as the original Route 95X. The Sheridan Street and Broward Boulevard routes were identified collectively in the survey as the Dade-Broward Express. The Pines/Hollywood Express was identified as such, and the original Route 95X was identified as the Route 95 Express. Expansion factors (typically used to correct for variation in levels of non-response on individual bus runs) were not applied to any dataset when comparing 2008 and 2009 due to the difference in passenger count collection. Sensitivity testing was done on the 2009 dataset, where individual run...

Survey Methodology. The methodology for administering the survey will involve a travel diary format. ETC Institute will design and implement a process for recruiting participants, administering the survey, and retrieving the survey data. ETC Institute will also be responsible for developing the actual survey instruments that will be used to record each participant's household data and trip data. Partially completed household travel surveys will be replaced.

Survey Methodology. If after the consultation about the Heritage Notice set out in clause 8 above it is determined by the Parties that a Heritage Survey is required, the methodology to be adopted and the report delivered will be in accordance with this clause. S ubject to clause 9.3 but otherwise despite anything else in this Agreement, the Claimant Group is not obliged to provide culturally sensitive information. The information provided by the Claimant Group and recorded a Survey Report will be determined as follows: Where the Proponent provides details in its Heritage Notice only of a particular Exploration Activity to be undertaken pursuant to its Current Work Program, the Survey Report will clearly indicate (using maps and co-ordinates) that part of the Exploration Activity that is cleared or not cleared. Should the proposed activities change then a new Heritage Notice will need to be issued.

Survey Methodology. 12.1 If it is determined by the HSP that a Heritage Survey is required, then the methodology to be adopted and the report delivered will be in accordance with this clause. 12.2 The Grantee will discuss the Heritage Survey methodology with the Heritage Service Provider, with a view to determining which methodology is fit-for- purpose, having regard to the Claimant Group’s concerns for the area in and about the Affected Area, the Current Work Program and any other relevant factors reasonably raised by either Party. 12.3 If it is determined by the HSP that a Heritage Survey is required, then the Heritage Service Provider has sixty (60) days from receipt of the Heritage Notice to organise the appropriate Heritage Survey. 12.4 Subject to clause 12.5, the Claimant Group is not obliged or required to provide culturally sensitive information to the Grantee. 12.5 The information provided by the Claimant Group and recorded in the Final Survey Report will be determined as follows: (a) Where the Grantee provides details in its Heritage Notice only of a particular Exploration Activity to be undertaken pursuant to its Current Work Program, the Final Survey Report will clearly indicate (using maps and co-ordinates) that part of the Exploration Activity that is Cleared or Not Cleared. Should the proposed activities materially change then a new Heritage Notice must be issued and new Heritage Survey be undertaken if reasonably required by the HSP, unless the Parties otherwise agree. (b) Where the Grantee provides details in its Heritage Notice of a range of possible Exploration Activities in an area (including activities outside its Current Work Program), the Final Survey Report will clearly indicate (including by using plans, maps and co-ordinates) any parts of that area to be avoided because they contain Aboriginal Sites. (c) Where any of the following applies: (i) a Heritage Survey that the Claimant Group accepts as valid has been conducted and a Final Survey Report completed pursuant to 12.5(a) or 12.5(b) above; or (ii) an Ethnographic Survey in relation to the relevant area which the Claimant Group accepts as valid has been completed; or (iii) an Archaeological Survey in relation to the relevant area which the Claimant Group accepts as valid has been completed; and (iv) the Grantee provides details in its Heritage Notice of possible future developments (outside what is permitted by the Tenement, such as the possible location of a mine), then the Final Survey Report wil...

Survey Methodology. The appropriate land cover types (annual grassland) are present on site for 7 covered or no-take plant species. All 7 of the plant species in Table 2b that are checked yes were considered target species for these surveys. Rare plant surveys were conducted on October 27, 2017, and April 13 and May 17, 2018. Nomad Ecology senior botanist ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and botanist ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ conducted the survey on October 27, 2017, and ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ conducted the surveys on April 13 and May 17, 2018. A follow-up rare plant survey was conducted on May 18, 2020 in a small portion of the Planning Survey Area that was included due to project layout revisions. This addition to the Planning Survey Area does not fall within any project impact areas. All proposed impact areas and vegetation communities within the survey area were visited and evaluated for their potential to support sensitive botanical resources. Surveys for target species were conducted by walking transects up to 10 meters apart depending on the topography or subject plant community, which covered 100 percent of current Project areas. Plant species in bloom or otherwise recognizable were identified to a level necessary to determine their regulatory status. During these surveys an inventory of plant species observed was recorded. Botanical surveys were conducted in accordance with California Native Plant Society’s Botanical Survey Guidelines (CNPS 2001b), California Department of Fish and Game’s Protocols for Surveying and Evaluating Impacts to Special Status Native Plant Populations and Natural Communities (CDFW 2018), and U.S. Fish and Wildlife’s Guidelines for Conducting and Reporting Botanical Inventories for Federally Listed, Proposed and Candidate Plants (USFWS 2000).

Survey Methodology. The CVCS is a voluntary survey that targets all Canadians 15 year-olds and over residing in the ten provinces, with the exception of full-time residents of institutions. Residents 15 year-olds and over living in the capitals if the three territories may also be included. The StatCan household survey frame will be used to select households. The total raw sample will include approximately 20,000 households in the ten provinces and 3,000 households in the territorial capitals. In order to contact respondents, letters will be mailed to the sampled Canadians’ households inviting them to participate in the survey. Only one person per household will be selected to participate (instructions to select that person will be provided in the letter). This person will be invited to complete the survey on-line using the device of their choice (computer, tablet or cell phones). Follow-up with nonrespondents will be done using multiple collection modes such as mail and computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI). The sample selection strategy has been designed to yield a net sample of 11,500 respondents (persons) for the provinces and territorial capitals. StatCan cannot guarantee the final number of net units. The projected 11,500 respondents, if achieved, should yield estimates of good quality for all provinces and territorial capitals. Estimates by gender or for age groups (15-59, 60+) will be of good quality at the provincial and territorial capital level.
