Brief Description of Projects Approved

in Part for Collection and Use:

Construction of service road.

Determination: Partially approved.

The approved amount was reduced from

the requested amount because the

requested amount was inadvertently

recorded incorrectly in the PFC

application.

Runway and taxiway rehabilitation.

Determination: Partially approved.

The public agency did not provide

information on justification for the

drainage and compass calibration pad

components of this project. Therefore,

those components are not PFC eligible.

The approved amount was reduced from

the amount requested to account for

those components determined

ineligible.

Land acquisition.

Determination: Partially approved.

The approved amount was reduced from

the requested amount because the

requested amount was inadvertently

recorded incorrectly in the PFC

application.

Brief Description of Project

Disapproved: Terminal hold room

expansion.

Determination: Disapproved. The

FAA has determined that due to the

declining number of enplanements at

Gainesville Regional Airport (GNV) over

the past 10 years, an absence of

adequate information to signal a reversal

of the current enplanement trend, and

an absence of adequate information to

show that the existing terminal area

space does not sufficiently

accommodate current demand,

expansion of the terminal hold room is

not justified. Therefore, this project does

not meet the requirements of § 158.15,

and is disapproved. In making this

determination, the FAA examined the

project using the guidelines contained

in paragraph 69b of FAA Advisory

Circular 150/5360–13, Design

Guidelines for Airport Terminal

Facilities.

Decision Date: March 2, 2000.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Highway Administration

Environmental Impact Statement

Prince George’s, County, MD

AGENCY: Federal Highway

Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this

notice to advise the public that an

environmental impact statement will be

prepared for a proposed multi-modal

project in Prince George’s County,

Maryland.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.

Pamela Stephenson, Environmental

Protection Specialist, Federal Highway

Administration, The Rotunda-Suite 220,

711 West 40th Street, Baltimore

Maryland 21211. Telephone: (410) 962–

4342.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the

Maryland State Highway

Administration, will prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

on a proposal to improve MD 210 in

Prince George’s County, Maryland. This

project will consider a balanced and full

range of Multi-Modal solutions,

including intersection improvements,

High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes,

transit enhancement, and interchanges.

The limits of the project are from MD

228 (Berry Road) to the Capital Beltway

(I–95/I–495) a distance of approximately

10.2 miles.

MD 210 provides an essential

connection between the Washington,

D.C. metropolitan area, and residential

communities in southern Prince

George’s and northern Charles Counties,

accommodating both local and long

distance trips within the corridor. The

MD 210 corridor within the study limits

currently experience severe traffic

congestion during morning and evening

peak periods. Many commuters

currently divert to county and local

roadways to avoid traffic congestion

alone mainline MD 210. The local

roadway network in this area is not

designed to handle the high volumes of

through traffic being diverted from MD

210. The resulting congestion on the

local roadway network compromises

safety and contributes to the overall

congestion in the MD 210 corridor.

The expected growth in local traffic

from planned development in southern

Prince George’s and Charles Counties

will further aggravate existing

conditions and will result in travel

demand for exceeding the capacity of

the existing transportation system,

increasing congestion, travel times and

accidents rates within the study area.

This project will evaluate improvements

to MD 210, which will address safety

problems and accommodate existing

and projected travel demand, provide

the desired capacity and decrease travel

delays and congestion.

The alternatives under consideration

include (1) no-build, (2) intersection

improvements, (3) widening to provide

a fourth general—use lane, (4) widening

to provide a two-lane reversible HOV

facility in the median, and (5)

construction of interchanges at six

locations from Kirby Hill Road to Old

Fort Road South. It has been determined

that no single strategy could adequately

address the need for this project.

Therefore, a combination of the

alternatives discussed above, along with

multi-modal enhancements, such as

Park & Ride facilities and improvements

in the existing transit service, will be

considered.

Letters describing the proposed action

and soliciting comments will be sent to

appropriate Federal, State, and local

agencies, private organizations, and to

citizens who have previously expressed

or are known to have an interest in this

project. A Public Hearing is tentatively

scheduled for Fall, 2000. Public notice

will be given of the time and place of

this hearing.

The Draft EIS will be available for

public and agency review and comment

prior to the Public Hearing. Public

notice will be given of the availability

of the Draft EIS for review. A Formal

scoping meeting was held for this

project on August 15, 1997.

To ensure that the full range of issues

related to this proposed action are

addressed and all significant issues

identified, a focus group comprised of

local residents, business owners, elected

officials, county representatives and

SHA team members was formed in early

1997. The group has met regularly with

a total of fourteen meetings to date. The

group’s primary mission is to assist in

the development of possible solution for

the traffic congestion and safety

concerns along the MD 210 corridor. As

part of the ongoing alternatives

development process, SHA is also

maintaining extensive coordination

with Prince George’s County,

Metropolitan Washington Council of

Governments (MWCOG), Washington

Metropolitan Area Transit Authority

(WMATA) and Maryland Mass Transit

Administration regarding the

development of this project.

Comments or questions concerning

this proposed action and EIS should be

directed to the FHWA at the address

provided above.
