Background
The FHWA intends to adopt the
approved Final EIS for the Tamiami
Trail Modifications: Next Steps,
prepared by the NPS. The FHWA
adoption is proposed in order to meet
the agency’s National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) requirements
associated with the use of U.S.
Department of Transportation funds for
this action and possible involvement of
FHWA in the implementation of the
project, as proposed in the NPS
Tamiami Trail Modifications: Next
Steps Final EIS. The project consists of
modifications to the Tamiami Trail,
including bridging and road raising,
required to restore the ecological
conditions in Northeast Shark River
Slough and the Water Conservation
Areas and establish the foundation for
future restoration efforts in the
Everglades. The Final EIS considered
the social, environmental, and economic
impacts of the project. The No-Action
Alternative and five Action Alternatives
were considered in the Final EIS. All of
the Action Alternatives included bridge
construction and reconstruction of the
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:44 Feb 12, 2014
Jkt 232001
remaining highway, with differences
being in the bridge lengths and
locations. Generally, where bridging of
the Tamiami Trail is to occur, the
bridges will be constructed adjacent to
the existing roadway and the existing
roadway and embankment will be
removed once the bridge section is open
to public traffic.
Agency Action
The NPS Preferred Alternative,
Alternative 6e, is identified in the Final
EIS. FHWA will prepare its own Record
of Decision for the Selected Alternative
in accordance with 40 CFR 1505.2.
(Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance
Program Number 20.205, Highway Planning
and Construction. The regulations
implementing Executive Order 12372
regarding intergovernmental consultation on
Federal programs and activities apply to this
proposed action.)
Dated: February 5, 2014.
