environmental impact scoping will be
prepared for a proposed highway project
in Pierce County, Washington. Based
upon this scoping information, a
decision will be made as to whether to
prepare an environmental assessment or
an environmental impact statement.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Dean Moberg, Area Engineer, Federal
Highway Administration, 711 South
Capitol Way, Suite 501, Olympia,
Washington 98501, Telephone: (360)
534–9344.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FHWA, in cooperation with the
Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT) will prepare
either an Environmental Assessment
(EA) or an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) on a proposal to provide
improvements along the I–5 corridor
between the interchanges with Gravelly
Lake Drive and Mounts Road to relieve
chronic congestion and improve person
and freight mobility. Improvements to
the corridor are considered necessary to
provide for the existing and projected
traffic demand after receiving all public
and private scoping comments and
feedback on the project’s impacts that
will determine the appropriate
environmental document.
Alternatives under consideration
include: (1) Taking no action; (2) a twophased proposed action, first phase to
be built upon availability of funding.
The second phase would be
implemented in the future when
warranted by traffic demand and
resulting congestion. The first phase
would add one HOV lane both
northbound and southbound, rebuild
three interchanges (Thorne Ln.; Berkely
St.; and Steilacoom DuPont Rd.), and
include other improvements. The future
phase would add an additional managed
lane both northbound and southbound
and include revisions to other
interchanges in the corridor.
FHWA and WSDOT are holding a
public scoping meeting on May 5, 2015
from 4–7 p.m. at the McGavick
Conference Center on the campus of
Clover Park Technical College in
Lakewood to solicit public comments
regarding issues to be addressed in the
EA or EIS. The meeting will use an
informal, open-house format. Exhibits,
maps, and other pertinent information
about this project will be displayed.
Staff will be present to answer questions
as appropriate and as time permits.
Agencies, Tribes, and the public are
encouraged to submit comments on the
purpose and need and preliminary
range of alternatives during the scoping
period. Comments must be received by
May 18, 2015 to be included in the
E:\FR\FM\21APN1.SGM
21APN1
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 76 / Tuesday, April 21, 2015 / Notices
formal scoping record. To ensure that
the full range of issues related to this
proposed action is addressed, and all
the significant issues identified,
comments and suggestions are invited
from interested parties during the
scoping period. Comments concerning
this proposal will be accepted at the
public meeting or can be sent by mail
to Bill Elliott, Plans Engineer,
Washington State Department of
Transportation, 5720 Capitol Blvd. SE
Bldg 7, Tumwater, Washington 98501,
or ELLIOTB@wsdot.wa.gov.
If significant environmental impacts
are discovered during the
environmental analysis which cannot be
mitigated to a non-significant level an
environmental impact statement (EIS)
will be prepared for the project. If this
happens, no additional scoping
meetings will be held. However, another
Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS will
published in the Federal and SEPA
registers, announcing a future deadline
for submitting written comments on the
EIS’s scope of the alternatives and
impacts to be considered. See Question
13 in the Council on Environmental
