Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement: Kern 

County, CA 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Rescind Notice of Intent to 

prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of the 

California Department of Transportation 

(Caltrans), is issuing this notice to 

advise the public that the Notice of 

Intent (NOI) published on April 23, 

2008, to prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed 

24th Street Improvement Project in Kern 

County, California, is being rescinded. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Kirsten Helton, Senior Environmental 

Planner, Southern Valley Environmental 

Analysis Branch, Caltrans, 2015 E. 

Shields Avenue, Suite 100, Fresno, 

California 93726 or call (559) 243–8224. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective 

July 1, 2007, the FHWA assigned, and 

Caltrans assumed, environmental 

responsibilities for this project pursuant 

to 23 U.S.C. 327. Caltrans, in 

cooperation with the City of Bakersfield, 

is rescinding the NOI to prepare an EIS 

for the 24th Street Improvement Project 

in Kern County, California. 

The proposed project would improve 

transportation operations along 24th 

Street and the Oak Street/24th Street 

intersection to accommodate existing 

and future traffic volumes and achieve 

acceptable levels of service within the 

corridor. The proposed infrastructure 

improvements would alleviate existing 

traffic congestion and would result in 

improvement of local circulation. Since 

the NOI to prepare an EIS was 

published in the Federal Register on 

April 23, 2008, Caltrans has conducted 

public involvement and agency 

coordination, developed a purpose and 

need for the project, and developed 

preliminary alternatives to be examined. 

The preliminary alternatives included a 

No-Build and a set of three build 

alternatives for the improvements to the 

Oak Street/24th Street intersection, a set 

of three alternatives for the proposed 

widening of 24th Street between Oak 

Street and D Street; and reconstruction 

of 23rd Street and 24th Street between 

D Street and M Street (approximately 

1.7 miles). Preliminary screenings 

identified sensitive environmental 

features associated with the proposed 

alternatives that could result in 

potentially significant adverse impacts. 

Caltrans, as the assigned NEPA lead 

agency, has determined that a reduction 

of proposed project alternatives and 

upgrade improvements along existing 

State Route 178 would meet the need 

and purpose of the project and could be 

accomplished without potentially 

significant adverse impacts to sensitive 

environmental features. Caltrans will 

evaluate these improvements along the 

existing route within an Environmental 

Assessment. Comments and questions 

concerning the proposed action should 

be directed to Caltrans at the address 

provided above.
