Federal Highway Administration


Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Transportation Project 
in Washington State

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Department of 
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of limitation on claims for Judicial Review of actions 
by FHWA.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by FHWA that are final. 
The action relates to the approval of the categorical exclusion for the 
SR 509/Clear Creek Restoration Project in Pierce County, State of 
Washington. Those actions grant licenses, permits, and approvals for 
the project.

DATES: By this notice, FHWA is advising the public of final Agency 
actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A claim seeking judicial review 
of the Federal agency actions on the listed highway project will be 
barred unless the claim is filed on or before August 18, 2025. If the 
Federal law that authorizes judicial review of a claim provides a time 
period of less than 150 days for filing such claim, then that shorter 
time period still applies.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For FHWA, contact William Witucki, 
Senior Urban Area Engineer, Washington Division, Federal Highway 
Administration, 711 Capitol Way S, Suite 501, Olympia, WA 98501-1284, 
360-753-9411, or [email protected]. Regular office hours are from 
8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays, or

[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that the FHWA has 
taken final agency actions within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by 
issuing licenses, permits, and approvals for the following project in 
the State of Washington: The SR 509/Clear Creek Restoration Project 
(Project) will remove two fish passage barriers (WDFW IDs 600317 and 
600318) and other infrastructure related to an existing commercial fish 
hatchery and restore natural stream processes at the Project site. The 
two existing fish passage barriers (dams) prevent anadromous fish from 
migrating upstream and divert stream flow, preventing sediment 
transport downstream.
    Restoring Clear Creek to natural stream processes will provide 
immediate benefits to fish and aquatic wildlife by: removing two fish 
passage barriers (WDFW IDs 600317 and 600318); opening over 2 miles of 
spawning habitat that is currently inaccessible to anadromous fish 
including Federally protected Puget Sound Chinook Salmon; restoring 
stream processes including floodplain connectivity, sediment 
continuity, and flood conveyance; eliminating surface water withdrawals 
and improving water quality and quantity; improving spawning and 
rearing habitat and habitat complexity.
    The actions by the agencies, and the laws under which such actions 
were taken, are described in the project's FHWA Categorical Exclusion 
issued on June 21, 2024, and in other documents in the project records.
