implementing the proposed action on
the physical, human, and natural
environment. The FRA and the
Authority will continue the tiered
evaluation of all significant
environmental, social, and economic
impacts of the construction and
operation of the Merced to Sacramento
Section of the HST System. Areas of
investigation will be developed during
the scoping process and may include,
but not be limited to, transportation
impacts; safety and security; land use
and zoning; indirect and cumulative
impacts; land acquisition,
displacements, and relocations; cultural
resource impacts, including impacts on
historical and archaeological resources
and parklands/recreation areas;
neighborhood compatibility and
environmental justice; natural resource
impacts including air quality, wetlands,
water resources, noise, vibration,
energy, wildlife; and ecosystems,
including endangered species and
temporary construction impacts.
Measures to avoid, minimize, and
mitigate adverse impacts will be
identified and evaluated.
FRA and the Authority will comply
with all environmental laws,
regulations, and executive orders
applicable to the proposed project
during the environmental review
process to the maximum extent
practicable. These requirements
include, but are not limited to, the
regulations of the CEQ implementing
NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), State
CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of
Regulations 15168(b)) and FRA’s
Procedures for Considering
Environmental Impacts (64 FR 28545,
May 26, 1999), project-level air quality
conformity regulation of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
(40 CFR part 93(b)), Section 404(b)(1)
EPA guidelines (40 CFR part 230),
Executive Orders 11988, 11990, and
12898 regarding floodplains, wetlands,
and environmental justice, respectively,
Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act (36 CFR part 800),
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act
(50 CFR part 402), and Section 4(f) of
the Department of Transportation Act
(49 USC 303). Measures to avoid,
minimize, and mitigate all adverse
impacts will be identified and
evaluated.
This EIR/EIS process will also
continue the NEPA/Clean Water Act
Section 404 integration process
established through the Statewide
Program EIR/EIS process. The EIR/EIS
will evaluate project alignment
alternatives and station and
maintenance facility locations to
support a determination of the Least

Environmentally Damaging Practicable
Alternative (LEDPA) by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers.
In concert with the spirit of the CEQ’s
NEPA regulations, FRA will encourage
incorporation by reference (40 CFR
1502.21) of preceding planning and
environmental documents. Also, it is
one of the mandates of the CEQ
regulations that Federal agency’s reduce
paperwork (§ 1500.4), produce a
reasonable number of pages without
being overwhelming (§ 1502.7) and
create environmental documents that
are written in plain language and are
highly accessible to the reader
(§ 1502.8). The NEPA document will
emphasize graphics, virtual simulation,
and an accessible narrative format.
Technical documentation will be
established in appendices.
Scoping and Comments: FRA
encourages broad participation in the
EIS process during scoping and review
of the resulting environmental
documents. Comments are invited from
all interested agencies and the public to
ensure the full range of issues related to
the proposed action and reasonable
alternatives are addressed and all
significant issues are identified. In
particular, FRA is interested in learning
whether there are areas of
environmental concern where there
might be a potential for significant sitespecific impacts from the MercedSacramento Section of the HST System.
Public agencies with jurisdiction are
requested to advise FRA and the
Authority of the applicable permit and
environmental review requirements of
each agency, and the scope and content
of the environmental information
germane to the agency’s statutory
responsibilities relevant to the proposed
project. Public agencies are requested to
advise FRA if they anticipate taking a
major action in connection with the
proposed project and if they wish to
cooperate in the preparation of the
Project EIR/EIS. Public scoping
meetings have been scheduled as an
important component of the scoping
process for both the State and Federal
environmental review. The scoping
meetings described in this Notice will
also be the subject of additional public
notification.
FRA is seeking participation and
input of all interested Federal, State,
and local agencies, Native American
groups, and other concerned private
organizations or individuals on the
scope of the EIR/EIS. Implementation of
the Merced to Sacramento Section of the
HST System is a Federal undertaking
with the potential to affect historic
properties. As such, it is subject to the
requirements of Section 106 of the

with the preparation of the EIR/EIS,

standards set out in 36 CFR 800.8.
