Environmental Impact Statement: Sacramento County, CA

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Intent.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that an 
environmental impact statement will be prepared for a proposed highway 
project in Sacramento County, California.

Administration, 980 Ninth Street, Suite 400, Sacramento, California, 
95814, Telephone (916) 551-1307.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with the California 
Department of Transportation and with the City of Sacramento, will 
prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) on a proposal to 
construct a 4-lane connector roadway between Garden Highway and Arden 
Way which includes construction of a bridge over the Natomas East Main 
Drainage Canal (NEMDC). The connector and bridge are needed to meet 
existing and projected traffic demands. The length of the connector 
roadway is approximately 1.3 miles including the bridge.
    Alternatives to be considered may include (1) Taking no action; (2) 
widening West El Camino Boulevard; and (3) different alignment 
crossings of the Natomas East Main Drainage Canal. Variations of grade 
and alignment may be studied for the various build alternatives.
    Letters describing the proposed action and soliciting comments will 
be sent to appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies, and to 
private organizations and citizens who have previously expressed or are 
known to have interest in this proposal. Public and agency scoping 
meetings will be held as required. A public meeting will be held upon 
completion of the draft EIS. Public notice will be given of the time 
and place of the meeting. The draft EIS will be available for public 
and agency review and comment prior to the public meeting.
    To ensure that the full range of issues related to this proposal 
are addressed and all significant issues identified, comments and 
suggestions are invited from all interested parties. Comments or 
questions concerning this proposed action and the EIS should be 
directed to the FHWA Chief of District Operations at the address
