DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement: St. 

Louis County, Missouri 

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 (EIS) 

will be prepared for improvements to 

the corridor generally following the 

existing pathway created by Missouri 

Bottom Road, Aubuchon Road, and 

Charbonier Road between Earth City 

Expressway and Howdershell/ 

Shackelford Road in northwestern St. 

Louis County, Missouri. These roads lie 

within the floodplain of the Missouri 

River. The hydrological conditions of 

the area create a situation where shortterm flood-related closures occur along 

this pathway. The occurrence and 

length of closures are often difficult to 

predict; the detours caused by the 

closures are often lengthy. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Peggy J. Casey, Program Development 

Team Leader, FHWA Division Office, 

3220 West Edgewood, Suite H, Jefferson 

City, MO 65109, Telephone: (573) 636– 

7104; or Mr. David Nichols, Chief 

Engineer, Missouri Department of 

Transportation, P.O. Box 270, Jefferson 

City, MO 65102, Telephone: (573) 751–

the Local Public Agency sponsor by 

contacting Mr. Adam Spector, 

Transportation Studies Project Manager, 

St. Louis County Department of 

Highways and Traffic, 121 S. Meramec 

Avenue, Clayton, Missouri 63105, 

Telephone: (314) 615–8594. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the 

Missouri Department of Transportation 

(MoDOT) and St Louis County 

Department of Highways and Traffic 

(County), will prepare an EIS for a 

proposed roadway project in St. Louis 

County, Missouri. A location study will 

run concurrently with the preparation of 

the EIS and will provide definitive 

alternatives for evaluation in the EIS. 

The EIS will fully analyze the issues, 

problems, and potential social and 

environmental impacts associated with 

improving transportation within this 

portion of St. Louis County. The goals 

of the proposed action are to: (1) 

Eliminate flood-related detours between 

Charbonier Road and Earth City 

Expressway, (2) address capacity needs 

in northwestern St. Louis County, (3) 

enhance safety along roadways in 

northwestern St. Louis County, and (4) 

provide access to the economic 

opportunities in northwestern St. Louis 

County. The project study area is 

generally bounded by the Missouri 

River on the north and west, Route 370 

on the south, and Howdershell/ 

Shackelford Road on the east. 

Alternatives under consideration 

include (1) taking no action; (2) 

reconstruction/improvements along the 

existing alignment; and (3) new 

alignments. 

To date, preliminary information has 

been issued to local officials. As part of 

the project scoping process, an 

interagency coordination meeting will 

be held with appropriate federal, state, 

and local agencies having jurisdiction or 

having specific expertise with respect to 

any environmental impacts associated 

with the proposed improvements. 

Agencies with jurisdiction by law will 

be asked to become cooperating 

agencies. Other agencies with interest in 

the project will be invited to become 

participating agencies. In addition, 

informational meetings with the public 

and community representatives will be 

held to solicit input on the project and 

reasonable range of alternatives. A 

location public hearing will be held to 

present the findings of the Draft EIS 

(DEIS). Public notice will be given 

announcing the time and place of all 

public meetings and the hearing. The 

DEIS 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 is 

addressed and all significant issues are 

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 or MoDOT, or the 

St. Louis County Department of 

Highways and Traffic at the addresses 

provided above.
