DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Highway Administration

Environmental Impact Statement; Clark

County, NV

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 highway project

in the cities of Boulder City and

Henderson, Clark County, Nevada/

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ted

L. Bendure, Environmental Program

Manager, Federal Highway

Administration, 705 N. Plaza, Suite 220,

Carson City, NV 89701, Telephone: 775–

687–5322, Email:ted.bendure@fhwa.dot.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the Nevada

Department of Transportation, will

prepare an environmental impact

statement (EIS) on a proposal to

improve U.S. Highway 93 (US 93) in the

cities of Boulder City and Henderson,

Clark County, Nevada. The proposed

project would involve improvements to

the US 93 Corridor between the west

terminus of the present US 93 highway

through Henderson, Nevada (milepost

59±), on the west end and the east

terminus of the project on US 93

(milepost 2.5±), a point about 7.6

kilometers (4.7 miles) east of downtown

Boulder City which is coincidental with

the planned terminus of the US 93

Hoover Dam Bypass project. The project

covers a total distance of approximately

16.7 kilometers (10.4 miles) on the

present route.

Improvements to the corridor are

considered necessary to provide for the

existing and projected traffic demand

and to correct existing high accident

areas. Specifically, the project will

evaluate mitigating congestion in the

vicinity of Boulder City; replacing the

at-grade railroad crossing near Railroad

Pass; reducing the high accident rate at

the signalized intersection of the

Railroad Pass Casino entrance;

upgrading the existing US 93/US 95

Interchange; and a tie-in with the US 93

Hoover Bypass Project. The EIS will

consider the effects of the proposed

project, the No Action alternative, and

other alternatives to the proposed

project.

Letters describing the proposed action

and soliciting comments will be sent to

appropriate Federal, State, and local

agencies, and to private organizations

and citizens who have previously

expressed or are known to have interest

in this project. A project scoping

meeting will be held in Las Vegas,

Nevada on February 22, 2000 with the

appropriate agencies. In addition, public

information meetings will be held

throughout the duration of the project

and a public hearing will be held for the

draft EIS. Public notices will be given

annnouncing the time and place of the

public meetings and the hearing. The

draft EIS will be available for public and

agency review and comment prior to the

public hearing.

To ensure that the full range of issues

related to this proposed action are

addressed and all significant issues

identified, comments, and suggestions

are invited from all interested parties.

Comments or questions concerning this

proposed action and the EIS should be

directed to the FHWA at the address

provided above.P=’04’≤
