Environmental Impact Statement:
Wake and Johnston Counties, NC
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
AGENCY: Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of Intent (NOI).
SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this
notice to advise the public that an
environmental impact statement will be
prepared for a proposed project in Wake
and Johnston Counties, North Carolina.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
George Hoops, P.E., Major Projects
Engineer, Federal Highway
Administration, 310 Bern Avenue, Suite
410, Raleigh, North Carolina 27601–
1418, Telephone: (919) 747–7022.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to Title 23, Code of Federal Regulations,
Part 771, Environmental Impact and
Related Procedures, the FHWA, in
cooperation with the North Carolina
Turnpike Authority (NCTA), a division
of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT), will prepare
an environmental impact statement
(EIS) addressing the proposed
completion of the Raleigh Outer Loop.
The proposed study area boundary
begins in Wake County at NC 55 in the
vicinity of Apex and Holly Springs. The
boundary extends southward along NC
55 and turns eastward to parallel NC 42,
crossing into Johnston County near
Benson Road (NC 50). The boundary
turns northward near Clayton,
extending to US 64/US 264 Bypass, in
Knightdale. The study area includes
southeastern limits of Raleigh and the
southern limits of Garner and Cary. The
proposed action is included in the 2035
VerDate Nov<24>2008
14:58 Nov 27, 2009
Jkt 220001
Long Range Transportation Plan
approved by the Capital Area
Metropolitan Planning Organization
(CAMPO).
This project is designated as three
projects in the NCDOT State
Transportation Improvement Program
(STIP)—Projects R–2721, R–2828, and
R–2829. These projects combine to form
the southern and eastern portions of the
Outer Loop around Raleigh and
surrounding communities, completing
the Outer Loop. The northern portion of
the Outer Loop is open to traffic and the
western portion, the Western Wake
Freeway, is currently under
construction. The southern portion of
this project is proposed to tie into the
Western Wake Freeway near Apex. The
eastern portion of this project is
proposed to tie into the northern portion
of the Outer Loop at the US 64/US 264
Bypass in Knightdale. The EIS for the
proposed action will consider
alternatives that include improving
existing roadways as well as alternatives
that involve building a new location
facility. Multiple alternative corridors
for a new location facility may be
evaluated. The analysis will also
include a range of non-highway
improvement alternatives, including the
‘‘No-Build’’ alternative (continuation of
the existing condition), expanding
transit service, transportation demand
management (TDM), and transportation
system management (TSM). As part of
the EIS, NCTA will study the feasibility
and impacts of developing the proposed
project as a tolled facility.
Letters describing the proposed action
and soliciting comments will be sent to
appropriate Federal, State and local
agencies. Scoping will occur over a
series of meetings with the agencies and
citizens informational workshops with
the public. Information on the dates,
times, and locations of the citizens
informational workshops will be
advertised in the local news media, and
newsletters will be mailed to those on
the project mailing list. If you wish to
be placed on the mailing list, contact
Jennifer Harris at the address listed
below. The Draft EIS will be available
for public and agency review and
comment prior to the public hearing.
To ensure the full range of issues
related to the proposed action are
addressed and all significant issues
identified, comments and suggestions
are invited from all interested parties.
Comments and questions concerning the
proposed action should be directed to
the FHWA at the address provided
above or directed to: Ms. Jennifer Harris,
