The San Ysidro LPOE is located at the terminus of Interstate 5 at the United States-Mexico border in the San Ysidro community of San Diego, California. sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:16 Oct 31, 2017 Jkt 244001 A Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Record of Decision (ROD) were published in September 2009. Both addressed the reconfiguration and expansion of the San Ysidro LPOE in three independent construction phases to improve overall capacity and operational efficiency. In May 2014, GSA published a Final SEIS and ROD that evaluated changed circumstances and proposed modifications to the Project, including (1) the incorporation of northbound pedestrians inspections at the proposed southbound-only pedestrian crossing facility, on the west side of the LPOE, and modification of the phasing/timing of the construction of the pedestrian crossing facility; (2) changes to the development footprint on the west side of the LPOE and design refinements to the Virginia Avenue Transit Center; (3) a change in the number of vehicle lanes and the installation of southbound inspection booths and overhead canopies on the proposed southbound roadway; and (4) minor changes in the design and/or timing of implementation of several Project elements. GSA prepared a Revision to the Final SEIS in August 2015 that addressed minor changes to the alignment of the southbound roadway and employee access road, as well as specific information that was not known or available at the time the Final EIS or Final SEIS were prepared (regarding the details of the on-site wastewater treatment facility). Phase 1 is complete and included the construction of a pedestrian bridge, additional northbound vehicle lanes and inspection facilities, a new southbound pedestrian crossing facility on the east side of the LPOE, a new bidirectional pedestrian crossing facility on the west side of the LPOE, and the Virginia Avenue Transit Center. Phase 2 is fully funded and involves the construction of new buildings. Phase 3 is fully funded and includes construction of a southbound roadway and associated inspection equipment. Phases 2 and 3 are anticipated to be completed in 2019. The SEIS will address changes to the Project, which include acquisition of one parcel of land on the east side of the LPOE and incorporation of this additional land area into the LPOE. Alternatives Under Consideration Two action alternatives are under consideration in addition to the NoAction Alternative. Alternative 1 would include demolition of the existing building on the acquisition site and PO 00000 Frm 00045 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 expansion of the LPOE pedestrian plaza. Alternative 2 would involve renovating the existing on-site building. The No Action Alternative assumes that the site would not be acquired by GSA and the additional land area would not be incorporated into the LPOE. Scoping Process Scoping will be accomplished through a public scoping meeting, direct mail correspondence to appropriate federal, state, and local agencies, and to private organizations and citizens who have previously expressed, or are known to have, an interest in the Project.
