Environmental Impact Statement: Washington County, UT

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 Washington County, Utah.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sandra Garcia, Highway Engineer, 
Federal Highway Administration, 2520 West 4700 South, Suite 9A, Salt 
Lake City, Utah 84118-1847, Telephone (801) 963-0182.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with the Utah 
Department of Transportation (UDOT), will prepare an environmental 
impact statement (EIS) on a proposal to construct a new interchange on 
I-15 at milepost 13 in Washington City, Utah.
    The construction of a new interchange is considered necessary to 
provide access to I-15, which will accommodate the projected traffic 
demand and development planned for the area. Alternatives under 
consideration include (1) taking no action; (2) Transportation System 
Management (TSM), activities which maximize the efficiency of the 
present system; (3) constructing a new interchange on I-15 at milepost 
13.
    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. A public scoping meeting and a 
public hearing will be held. Notice will be given of the time and place 
of the meetings and hearing. The draft EIS will be available for public 
and agency review and comment prior to the public hearing.
    To ensure that the full range of issues related to this 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.
