Environmental Impact Statement; Bradford County, FL

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 (EIS) will be prepared for a proposed 
highway project in Bradford County, Florida.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Melisa L. Ridenour, Supervisory 
Transportation Engineer, Federal Highway Administration, 227 N. 
Bronough Street, Room 2015, Tallahassee, Florida 32301-2015, Telephone;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with the Florida 
Department of Transportation will prepare an EIS for a proposal to 
improve US 301 (SR 200) in Bradford County, Florida. The proposed 
improvement would involve US 301 through the City of Starke. The study 
corridor is 14.5 km (9.0 miles) long. The proposed improvement is 
considered necessary to provide for existing and projected traffic 
demands.
    Alternatives under consideration include: (1) Taking no action; (2) 
providing highway improvements utilizing an urban corridor within the 
Town of Starke; (3) utilizing a rural corridor on a new alignment which 
would serve as a by-pass around the Town of Starke.
    Coordination with appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies 
and private citizens who have expressed interest in this proposal has 
been undertaken and will continue. A series of public meetings have 
been held and additional meetings are planned for the future in 
Bradford County. In addition, a public hearing will be held. Public 
notice will be given of the time and place of the meetings and hearing. 
The Draft EIS will be made available for public and agency review and 
comment. A formal scoping meeting is planned during the fall of 1994.
    To ensure that the full range of issues related to the proposed 
action 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 at the address provided above.
