inadequate to meet future traffic
volumes, resulting in congestion and
reduced north/south mobility. In
addition, regional population growth
continues to increase demand for
additional capacity and access in this
corridor and the region. The purpose of
the project is to provide a facility that
would reduce congestion and improve
mobility between IH 30 and IH 20 in
southeast Dallas County, while
contributing to improved system
linkage.
The EIS will develop and evaluate a
range of Build Alternatives and a NoBuild Alternative within the study
corridor, generally bounded to the east
by the Dallas/Kaufman County Line,
and to the west by Bobtown Road in
Garland, Collins Road and Clay Road in
Sunnyvale, and Clay-Mathis Road and
Lawson Road in Mesquite. The EIS will
include an analysis of tolled lanes. The
EIS will analyze potential impacts from
construction and operation of the
proposed roadway including, but not
limited to, the following: Transportation
impacts, air quality and noise impacts;
water quality impacts including storm
water runoff; impacts to waters of the
United States, including wetlands;
impacts to floodplains; impacts to
historic and archeological resources;
socioeconomic impacts, including
Environmental Justice and Limited
English Proficiency populations;
impacts to land use, vegetation, and
wildlife, including threatened and
endangered species; impacts to or
potential displacement of residents and
businesses; and impacts to aesthetic and
visual resources.
TxDOT will issue a single Final
Environmental Impact Statement and
Record of Decision document pursuant
to Public Law 112–141, 126 Stat. 405,
Section 1319(b) unless TxDOT
determines statutory criteria or
practicability considerations preclude
issuance of the combined document
pursuant to section 1319.
Anticipated state and federal permits,
pending selection of alternatives and
field surveys, may include, but are not
limited to, the following: United States
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
Section 404 permit; Texas Commission
on Environmental Quality (TCEQ)
Section 401 Water Quality Certification;
TCEQ Texas Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (TPDES) permit.
Public involvement is a critical
component of the project development
process and will continue throughout
the development of the EIS. A draft
Project Coordination Plan has been
developed in accordance with 23 U.S.C.
139, Efficient Environmental Reviews
for Project Decision Making, to identify

and document opportunities for project
involvement by the public and other
agencies. The Project Coordination Plan
will promote involvement from
stakeholders, agencies, and the public as
well as describe the proposed project,
the roles of the agencies and the public,
the project purpose and need, schedule,
level of detail for alternatives analysis,
and the proposed process for
coordination and communication. The
Project Coordination Plan will be
available for public review, input, and
comments at the public meetings,
including scoping meetings, and hearing
held in accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and
upon request at the TxDOT Dallas
District Office.
In accordance with 23 U.S.C. 139,
cooperating agencies, participating
agencies, and the public will be given
an opportunity for continued input on
project development. Agency meetings
are ongoing and a public scoping
meeting is planned for late spring of
2017. The purpose of the public scoping
meeting is to present the project studies
completed to date and identify
significant and other relevant issues
related to the proposed SH 190 corridor
as part of the NEPA process. The
scoping meeting will provide an
opportunity for participating agencies,
cooperating agencies, and the public to
review and comment on the draft
Project Coordination Plan, the project
purpose and need, and the range of
alternatives developed to date to be
considered and evaluated in the EIS.
In addition to the agency and public
scoping meetings, a public hearing will
be held. Public notice will be given of
the time and place of the meetings and
hearing. To ensure that the full range of
issues related to this proposed action is
addressed and all significant issues are
identified, comments and suggestions
are invited from all interested parties.
Such comments or questions concerning
this proposed action should be directed
to TxDOT at the address provided
above.
