DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement: 

Mecklenburg and Union Counties, NC 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Rescinding of Notice of Intent 

and Draft Environmental Impact 

Statement for proposed U.S. 74 corridor 

improvements in Mecklenburg and 

Union Counties, NC. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that we are 

rescinding the notice of intent and the 

public notice to prepare an 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

for a proposed highway project in 

Mecklenburg and Union Counties, 

North Carolina. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Clarence W. Coleman, P.E., Operations 

Engineer, Federal Highway 

Administration, 310 New Bern Avenue, 

Ste 410, Raleigh, North Carolina, 27601–

1418, Telephone: (919) 856–4346. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the North 

Carolina Department of Transportation 

(NCDOT), is rescinding the notice of 

intent to prepare an EIS for a proposed 

multi-lane, controlled access highway 

along the U.S. 74 corridor connecting I–

485 in Mecklenburg County to U.S. 601 

in Union County, North Carolina. On 

April 13, 2000, FHWA issued a notice 

of intent to prepare an EIS for this 

proposed project. A Draft EIS was 

released in November 2003 after 

resource agencies and the public 

provided input and comments as part of 

the project development process. The 

Draft EIS evaluated several alternatives, 

including: (1) No Build (2) 

Transportation Systems Management 

(TSM), (3) Transportation Demand 

Management (TSM), (4) Mass Transit, 

and (5) New Location Alternatives. A 

public hearing has not been held 

following the completion of the Draft 

EIS. Based on the comments received 

from various Federal and state agencies 

and the public and a recent decision to 

change the eastern terminus of the 

project form U.S. 601 to the proposed 

Monroe Bypass, the FHWA and NCDOT 

have agreed not to prepare a Final EIS 

for the proposed U.S. 74 improvements 

from I–485 to U.S. 601. 

FHWA, NCDOT, and the North 

Carolina Turnpike Authority (NCTA), 

plan to prepare a new Draft EIS for the 

proposed project. A notice of intent to 

prepare the EIS will be issued 

subsequent to this rescinding notice. 

The new Draft EIS will include a toll 

alternative among the full range of 

alternatives that will be analyzed as 

well as a change in the location of the 

eastern terminus. 

Comments or questions concerning 

the decision to not prepare Final EIS 

should be directed to NCDOT or FHWA 

at the address provided in the caption, 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 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.
