Environmental Impact Statement: Cache County, UT

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice of intent to advise the public 
that an Environmental Impact Statement will be prepared for a proposed 
highway project in Cache County, Utah.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeff Berna, FHWA, Utah Division, 2520 
West 4700 South, Suite 9A, Salt Lake City, UT 84118, Telephone: (801) 
963-0182 or Kelly Barrett, Project Manager, Utah Department of 
Transportation, Region One Office, 169 Wall Street, Ogden, UT 84112, 
Telephone: (801) 620-1684.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FHWA, in cooperation with the Utah 
Department of Transportation (UDOT) will prepare an Environmental 
Impact Statement (EIS) to address the proposed construction of an 
approximately 3-mile segment of new transportation corridor from 1400 
North in North Logan City to 3700 North in Hyde Park City, between U.S. 
Highway 91 and 400 East in Cache County, Utah. The Cache Metropolitan 
Planning Organization in its June 2000 long range Transportation Master 
Plan identified this corridor as an important future transportation 
system for the Cache Valley. The EIS will evaluate no-build and build 
alternatives to address the need for a proposed action to provide for 
existing and projected traffic demand along this corridor. Reasonable 
alternatives within the study area will be fully considered in 
compliance with National Environmental Policy Act regulations.
    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 express interest in this 
project. Public scoping meetings will be held in spring 2004 in the 
project area. Additionally, a public hearing will be held in accordance 
with FHWA regulations. Public notice will be given of the time and 
place of the scoping meetings and hearing. The scoping process will be 
open to determine all of the issues. The draft environmental document 
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 FHWA at the address provided above.
