DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement: In 

the Vicinity of the City and Borough of 

Juneau, AK 

AGENCY: Alaska Department of 

Transportation and Public Facilities 

(DOT&PF), Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA, in cooperation 

with DOT&PF, will prepare a 

supplemental environmental impact 

statement (SEIS) for Juneau Access 

Improvements, a project to improve 

surface transportation to and from 

Juneau within the Lynn Canal corridor. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Tim Haugh, Environmental Program 

Manager, FHWA Alaska Division, P.O. 

Box 21648, Juneau, Alaska 99802–1648; 

office hours 6 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (AST), 

phone (907) 586–7430; email 

Tim.Haugh@dot.gov. You may also 

contact Mr. Reuben Yost, DOT&PF 

Project Manager, Alaska Department of 

Transportation and Public Facilities, 

6860 Glacier Highway, P.O. Box 112506, 

Juneau, Alaska 99811–2506; office hours 

8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. (AST), phone (907) 

465–1774. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

for this project was released on January 

18, 2006, and a Record of Decision was 

approved on April 3, 2006. However, on 

February 13, 2009, the United States 

District Court for Alaska determined the 

FEIS was invalid and vacated the ROD. 

The SEIS will therefore evaluate a new 

alternative of improved ferry service 

using existing assets, as was determined 

reasonable by the Court. The SEIS will 

also address any new issues identified 

and update FEIS alternatives and topics. 

The purpose for the project remains 

the same: to improve surface 

transportation to and from Juneau 

within the Lynn Canal corridor to 

provide travel flexibility, capacity to 

meet demand, and greater travel 

opportunity while reducing travel time, 

state costs, and user costs. In addition 

to the court ordered alternative, the 

SEIS will also update the reasonable 

alternatives evaluated in the FEIS. 

These include the No Action Alternative 

(Alternative 1), the East Lynn Highway 

to Katzehin with Shuttles to Haines and 

Skagway (Alternative 2B), the West 

Lynn Canal Highway (Alternative 3), 

and four primary marine alternatives 

that would construct new ferries 

(Alternatives 4A–D). Two of the marine 

alternatives include a short road 

extension and a new ferry terminal 

(Alternatives 4B and 4D). 

FHWA anticipates a focused scoping 

effort prior to commencement of SEIS 

studies. Letters describing the SEIS 

process and requesting comments will 

be sent to appropriate federal, state, and 

local agencies. Meetings will be held 

with all Cooperating Agencies and other 

agencies, as requested. Newspaper 

notices, newsletters, and Web site 

postings will explain the SEIS process, 

describe the new alternative, detail the 

topics anticipated to be addressed, and 

request public comments. 

Public hearings will be held in 

Juneau, Haines, Skagway, and Sitka 

following publication of the draft SEIS. 

Notice of the hearings and availability of 

the document will be published in the 

Federal Register, the Juneau Empire, the 

Chilkat Valley News, the Skagway 

News, the Sitka Sentinel, and the 

Anchorage Daily News. Comments or 

questions concerning the project and the 

SEIS should be directed to the FHWA or 

DOT&PF at the addresses provided.
