DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Highway Administration
Environmental Impact Statement:
Nueces County, TX
Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this
notice to advise the public that an
environmental impact statement (EIS)
will be prepared for the proposed U.S.
Highway (US) 181 Harbor Bridge
replacement highway project in Nueces
County, Texas.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John
R. Mack, P.E. District Engineer, Federal
Highway Administration—Texas
Division, 300 East 8th Street, Austin,
Texas 78701. Telephone: 512–536–5960.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FHWA, in cooperation with the Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT),
will prepare an environmental impact
statement (EIS) for a proposal to replace
the existing US 181 Harbor Bridge in
Nueces County, Texas. The proposed
improvement would involve
replacement of the existing Harbor
Bridge and approaches where US 181
crosses the Corpus Christi Ship
Channel, a roadway distance of
approximately 2.25 miles.
The need for the proposed bridge
improvements is based on a number of
identified deficiencies in the existing
structure, including high maintenance
E:\FR\FM\20MYN1.SGM
20MYN1
29376
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 97 / Friday, May 20, 2005 / Notices
costs, safety issues, capacity needs,
shipping height restrictions, and
connectivity to adjacent areas. The
purpose of the improvements is to
address these deficiencies while
identifying future plans for the US 181
roadway structure and the area it serves.
Alternatives under consideration
include (1) taking no action, and (2)
replacing the existing US 181 Harbor
Bridge and approach roads with a
facility built to current highway
standards. A Feasibility Study prepared
in 2003 evaluated four corridor
alternatives along existing and new
location right-of-way and a No-Build
alternative, resulting in the
identification of a recommended study
corridor. A reasonable number of
alignment alternatives will be identified
and evaluated in the EIS, as well as the
No-Build Alternative, based on input
from federal, state, and local agencies,
as well as private organizations and
concerned citizens.
Impacts caused by the construction
and operation of the proposed
improvements would vary according to
the alternative alignment utilized.
Generally, impacts would include the
following: Impacts to residences and
businesses, including potential
relocation; impacts to parkland;
transportation impacts (construction
detours, construction traffic, and
mobility improvement); air and noise
impacts from construction equipment
and operation of the roadway; social
and economic impacts, including
impacts to minority and low-income
residents; impacts to historic cultural
resources; water quality impacts from
construction and roadway runoff; and
impacts to waters of the U.S. including
wetlands from right-of-way
encroachment.
A letter that describes the proposed
action and a request for comments will
be sent to appropriate federal, state, and
local agencies, and to private
organizations and citizens who have
previously expressed interest in the
proposal. TxDOT completed a
Feasibility Study for the project in June
2003. In conjunction with the
Feasibility Study, TxDOT developed a
public involvement plan, sponsored
three citizens’ advisory committee
(CAC) meetings, held two public
meetings, and distributed two
newsletters. An agency scoping meeting
will be held by TxDOT on June 23, 2005
to brief agency representatives on
project plans, introduce project team
members, obtain comments pertaining
to the scope of the EIS, identify
important issues, set goals, and respond
to questions. A continuing public
involvement program will include a

project mailing list, project newsletters,
a June 23, 2005 public scoping meeting
(public notice will be given of the time
and place), and numerous informal
meetings with interested citizens and
stakeholders. In addition, a public
hearing will be held after the
publication of the Draft EIS. Public
notice will be given of the time and
place of the 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.
