SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Effective July 1, 2007, the FHWA
assigned, and the Caltrans assumed,
environmental responsibilities for this
project pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327.
Caltrans as the delegated NEPA lead
agency will prepare an EIS on a
proposal to improve the existing 24th
Street from State Route (SR) 99 to M
Street in the City of Bakersfield.
Analysis supporting the EIS will
determine the type of facility necessary
to meet the existing and future
transportation needs along 24th Street.
The proposed project would improve
transportation operations along 24th
Street and the Oak Street/24th Street
intersection to accommodate existing
and future traffic volumes and achieve
acceptable levels of service within the
corridor. The proposed infrastructure
improvements would alleviate existing
traffic congestion and would result in
improvement of local circulation. The
proposed EIS would evaluate a set of
three alternatives for the improvements
to the Oak Street/24th Street
intersection, a set of three alternatives
for the proposed widening of 24th Street
between Oak Street and D Street; and
reconstruction of 23rd Street and 24th
Street between D Street and M Street
(approximately 1.7 miles).
The No Action Alternative would be
considered and result in no action being
taken and no improvements would be
made to the facility.
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 will be held on April 30, 2008,
from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at 1300 17th
Street, Bakersfield, California, at the
Kern County Superintendent of Schools
Conference Rooms, 1st Floor, to provide
additional opportunities for public
input on the proposed project.
A public hearing will be held. A
Public Notice will be issued to
announce 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.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: FHWA is issuing this notice
to advise the public that an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
will be prepared for the proposed South
Padre Island Second Access project in
Cameron County, Texas. Publication of
this Notice of Intent (NOI) will serve to
rescind a previous NOI published in
July 2003 for the same project. The
proposed project would link State
Highway (SH) 100 on the mainland with
Park Road (PR) 100 on South Padre
Island. Currently, vehicular access to
South Padre Island is limited to the
Queen Isabella Memorial Causeway
connecting the City of Port Isabel and
the Town of South Padre Island. The
proposed project would provide a
second connection from the Texas
mainland to South Padre Island in
Cameron County, Texas. The proposed
project would consist of construction
predominantly on new right-of-way.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FHWA, in cooperation with the Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT)
and the Cameron County Regional
Mobility Authority (CCRMA) is
preparing an EIS for the proposed
project which would involve the
construction of a second access between
SH 100 and PR 100. The amount of
additional right-of-way to be acquired

would depend upon the alternative
selected and is not known at this time.
The proposed project will consider
several alternatives intended to satisfy
the identified need and purpose. The
current purpose is emergency
evacuation, economic development, and
to enhance safety and mobility. The
alternatives will include the no-build
alternative, Transportation System
Management/Transportation Demand
Management, mass transit, and roadway
build alternatives. The roadway build
alternatives may range from a two-lane
to a six-lane road and may include
limited access and non-limited access
(arterial) designs, and toll and non-toll
lanes.
The EIS will evaluate potential direct,
indirect, and cumulative impacts from
construction and operation of the
proposed project including, but not
limited to, the following: Impacts or
displacements to residents and
businesses; detours; air and noise
impacts from construction equipment,
and operation of the project; water
quality impacts from the construction
area and from roadway storm water
runoff; impacts to waters of the United
States; impacts to historic and
archeological resources; impacts to
floodplains and irrigation canals;
impacts to socio-economic resources
(including environmental justice and
limited English proficiency
populations); indirect impacts;
cumulative impacts; land use; regional
and local economic interactions;
vegetation including seagrass beds,
dense thorn-scrub habitat, and riparian
vegetation; wildlife; and aesthetic and
visual resources.
The project may require the following
approvals:
• Section 106, National Historic
Preservation Act (NHPA)—Advisory
Council on Historic Preservation
(ACHP), Texas Historical Commission
(THC), and State Historic Preservation
Office (SHPO).
• Navigable Waterway Permit—
United States Coast Guard (USCG).
• Section 404 Clean Water Act and
Section 10 Rivers and Harbors Act—US
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
• Section 7 Endangered Species Act—
US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
and National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, National Marine
Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries).
• Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MSFCMA) and the Marine Mammal
Protection Act—NOAA Fisheries.
• Section 402 Clean Water Act,

Elimination System (NPDES)—US

Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA).
• Section 401 Water Quality
Certification—Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ).
• Coastal Zone Management
Program—General Land Office (GLO).
If a build alternative advances from
the DEIS and FEIS, the actual approvals
required may change after field surveys
are completed and an alternative is
selected for the project through a ROD.
A scoping meeting is an opportunity
for participating agencies, cooperating
agencies, and the public to be involved
in defining the draft Need and Purpose
for the proposed project, the range of
alternatives for consideration in the
draft EIS, and to comment on the
methodologies to evaluate alternatives.
The scoping meeting will also include a
draft coordination plan and schedule for
agency and public comment. A scoping
meeting for the proposed project will be
held in May 2008.
In addition to any scoping meetings,
a series of meetings to solicit public
comment will be held during the
environmental review process. They
will be held during appropriate phases
of the project development process.
Public notices will be given stating the
date, time, and location of the meeting
or hearing and will be published in
English as well as Spanish. Provision
will be made for those with special
communication needs, including
translation if requested. Correspondence
will be sent to federal, state, and local
agencies, and to organizations and
individuals who have previously
expressed or are known to have an
interest in the project, which will
describe the proposed project and solicit
comments. Comments and suggestions
from all interested parties are invited to
ensure that the full range of issues
related to the proposed project are
identified and addressed. Comments or
questions concerning this proposed
action and the EIS should be directed to
the FHWA at the address provided
above.
