Notice is hereby given that the Caltrans, have taken final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing licenses, permits, and approvals for the following highway project in the State of California: The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to rehabilitate and reopen a 4.4 mile segment of State Route-39 (SR–39) from post mile 40.00 to post mile 44.40, in the Angeles National Forest, in Los Angeles County. The said segment has been closed to public highway traffic since 1978 as the roadway had sustained extensive damage as a result of erosion dating from 1978 to 2005. Since 1990, the Caltrans Division of Maintenance has rebuilt the roadway at Snow Spring, making it traversable throughout the length of the project area. Maintenance activities also included the rebuilding of the roadway at Snow Spring to make it traversable throughout the length of the project area, the cleaning of drainage culverts, and the erection of a dirt berm. These past improvements have made the roadway passable, but it is constricted as it approaches its northerly terminus, and open only to emergency service vehicles. The rehabilitation and reopening of this segment is important in the enhancement of access and services, and a reduction in response times for the United States Forest Service (USFS), the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and other emergency service agencies in fire suppression, the protection of several watersheds, and search and rescue activities. The proposed project would also restore a vital traffic circulation connection between points north on State Route-2 (Angeles Crest Highway, or SR–2) and points south in the San Gabriel Valley along Interstate-210 (Foothill Freeway, or I–210). The proposed project would improve access for patrons of the numerous recreation areas within the Angeles National Forest, and provide as an economic benefit to the associated parks and businesses. The restored connection would be accessible to public highway traffic throughout the year, with seasonal closures during times of inclement weather. These closures would likely occur during the winter and early spring seasons. A public meeting was held on regarding the proposed project on Tuesday, February 24, 2009 from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m at the Azusa Senior Center in Azusa, California. The actions by the Federal agencies, and the laws under which such actions were taken, are described in the Finding of No PO 00000 Frm 00067 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Significant Impact (FONSI) for the project, approved on May 27, 2009.
