DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement; 

Pennington County, SD; Pennington 

County, Maine 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice to rescind Environmental 

Impact Statement. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that we are 

rescinding the Notice of Intent (NOI) to 

prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) for roadway 

improvements proposed for South 

Rochford Road in Pennington County, 

South Dakota. The NOI was published 

in the Federal Register on January 30, 

2012. A Draft Environmental Impact 

Statement (DEIS) was not released. This 

rescission is based on changes to the 

design standards that have brought the 

proposed action below the threshold of 

an EIS. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Marion Barber, Environmental 

Specialist, FHWA, 116 East Dakota 

Avenue, Suite A, Pierre, SD 57501, (605) 

224–8033. Further information can be 

found and comments can be submitted 

via the project Web site at: http://

www.southrochfordroad.com/. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the South 

Dakota Department of Transportation 

(SDDOT) and Pennington County, is 

rescinding the NOI for a proposal to 

make improvements to the South 

Rochford Road in Pennington County, 

South Dakota. The previous proposed 

action provided for reconstruction of 

approximately 10 miles of roadway 

between the Town of Rochford and the 

intersection with Deerfield Road in 

accordance with the SDDOT Road 

Design Manual. The NOI is being 

rescinded due to modifications to the 

design standards that will provide for 

historic preservation, reduced wetland 

impacts, and preservation of sensitive 

plant species currently protected by the 

United States Forest Service. 

The current proposed action would 

reconstruct the same 10 miles of 

roadway using the American 

Association of State Highway and 

Transportation Officials (AASHTO) 

Guidelines for Geometric Design of Very 

Low-Volume Local Roads. These 

guidelines provide for a reduced 

roadway width that is more consistent 

with similar low volume surfaced 

roadways in Pennington County. The 

proposed action would maintain the 

intended purpose of this action to 

improve year-round access to the Town 

of Rochford from the Deerfield Lake area 

by reconstructing the two-lane roadway, 

providing an all-weather surface, and 

improving drainage and drainage 

structures. SDDOT will offer an 

opportunity for a public meeting on the 

proposal to rescind the EIS which will 

be advertised through the local media 

along with a notification on the to the 

project Web site. Given the reduction in 

scope and the associated potential 

impacts of the proposed action, FHWA 

intends to prepare a lower-level NEPA 

document to determine if the project has 

the potential to significantly affect the 

quality of the human environment. If, at 

a future time, FHWA determines that 

the proposed action is likely to have a 

significant impact on the environment, 

a new NOI to prepare an EIS will be 

published. 

Comments or questions concerning 

this rescission or the proposed action 

should be submitted through the project 

Web site at http://

www.southrochfordroad.com or directed 

to the address provided above under the 

caption FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
