project spread out over 20 years. The 

preliminary cost of the project is 

approximately $1,135,000 along with 

cost escalators over the 20 year lease 

period. The anticipated income over the 

20 year lease period is $2,369,800. 

The LAA is proposing to build an 85′ 

X 57′ single-story; slab-on-grade 

Maintenance Building approximately 

900’ north of Runway 8–26 on airport 

property. The Pre-Engineered Metal 

Building includes office space, two (2) 

service bays, and one (1) wash bay and 

will be constructed parallel to Millport 

Road along the northern edge of airport 

property. Coordinates of the building’s 

four corners: NW: 40°7′33.48′′, 

¥76°17′36.38′′, NE: 40°7′33.62′′, 

¥76°17′35.66′′, SE: 40°7′32.80′′, 

¥76°17′35.38′′, SW: 40°7′32.66′′, 

¥76°17′36.10′′. 

The facility remains the property of 

the LAA and will bring in necessary 

non-aviation income. The facility will 

be able to be utilized by other types of 

users in the event that the current tenant 

does not remain on the property. The 

tenant currently rents adjacent to where 

the maintenance facility will be located 

to store their school buses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

environmental review, consultation, and 

other actions required by applicable 

federal environmental laws for this 

project are being or have been carried 

out by UDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 

and a Memorandum of Understanding 

dated January 17, 2017, extended to 

April 29, 2022, and executed by FHWA 

and UDOT. UDOT, as the assigned 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) agency, will prepare an EIS to 

evaluate transportation solutions along 

I–15 from Farmington to Salt Lake City. 

The proposed project study area extends 

on I–15 from the Park Lane interchange 

(I–15 milepost 325) in Farmington to the 

400 South interchange (I–15 milepost 

308) in Salt Lake City. The EIS will be 

conducted in accordance with the 

requirements of NEPA, as amended (42 

United States Code [U.S.C.] Section 

4321, et seq.), 23 U.S.C. 139, Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) 

regulations implementing NEPA (40 

CFR parts 1500–1508), FHWA 

regulations implementing NEPA (23 

CFR 771.101–771.139), and all 

applicable federal, state, and local 

governmental laws and regulations. This 

project is considered a ‘‘major project’’ 

pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 139. 

(a) The Preliminary Purpose and Need 

for the Proposed Action 

The preliminary purpose of this 

project as identified by UDOT is to 

improve safety, replace aging 

infrastructure, provide better mobility 

for all travel modes, strengthen the state 

and local economy, and better connect 

communities along I–15 from 

Farmington to Salt Lake City. Between 

Farmington and Salt Lake City, I–15 has 

aging infrastructure and worsening 

operational characteristics for the 

current and projected 2050 travel 

demand which contribute to decreased 

safety, increased congestion, lost 

productivity, and longer travel times. 

East-west streets that access or cross I– 

15 are important to connect 

communities and support other travel 

modes such as biking, walking, and 

transit. When I–15 and its interchanges 

do not support travel demand, traffic is 

added to the local streets impacting both 

the regional and local transportation 

system, and the safe, comfortable, and 

efficient travel by other modes. 

Agencies and the public are invited to 

comment on the purpose and need 

statement. The purpose and need 

statement and supporting 

documentation, including data and 

public input summary, will be available 

in the Draft EIS. The purpose and need 

statement might be revised based on 

comments received during the comment 

period on this NOI. 

(b) A Preliminary Description of the 

Proposed Action and Alternatives the 

Environmental Impact Statement Will 

Consider 

The currently contemplated range of 

alternatives proposed to be considered 

in the EIS consists of the following: (1) 

Taking no action; (2) capacity 

improvements to I–15 such as adding 

general-purpose, high-occupancy, or 

auxiliary lanes and interchange 

improvements; (3) additional or 

modified accesses to and from I–15; (4) 

additional or modified road, bicycle and 

pedestrian crossings of I–15; (5) 

additional or modified multimodal 

connections to FrontRunner stations 

and regional trails; (6) Transportation 

System Management (TSM); (7) 

combinations of any of the above, and 

(8) other reasonable alternatives 

identified during the EIS process. 

Alternatives that do not meet the 

project’s purpose and need or that are 

otherwise not reasonable will not be 

carried forward for detailed 

consideration in the EIS. The 

alternatives to be retained will be 

finalized after UDOT considers the 

comments received during the comment 

period on this NOI, and the comments 

will be documented in the Draft EIS. 

The alternatives might be revised based 

on UDOT’s consideration of public 

comments. The concepts not retained 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 59 / Monday, March 28, 2022 / Notices 17407 

will also be documented in the Draft 

EIS. 

(c) Brief Summary of Expected Impacts 

The EIS will evaluate the expected 

social, economic, and environmental 

effects resulting from the implementing 

the action alternatives and the no action 

alternative. The following resources are 

the most sensitive resources in the 

project area and will be evaluated 

closely by UDOT: 

• Wetlands and Waters of the United 

States: Project alternatives could require 

placing fill in waters of the United 

States and impacts to wetlands 

considered to be jurisdictional. These 

impacts would require a permit from the 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) 

for the discharge of dredged or fill 

material into waters of the United 

States, including wetlands. 

• Section 4(f) Resources: Project 

alternatives might use Section 4(f) 

parks, recreation resources, and eligible 

historic properties. 

• Land and Water Conservation Fund 

Act Section 6(f) Resources: Project 

alternatives might impact several parks 

that received funds from the Land and 

Water Conservation Fund Act. 

• Environmental Justice 

Communities: Project alternatives might 

impact communities eligible for 

consideration as environmental justice 

communities that are low-income and 

minority due to right-of-way 

requirements, increases in noise, or 

other environmental factors. UDOT will 

work closely with the community to 

avoid, minimize, and mitigate these 

impacts. 

• Property Acquisitions: Project 

alternatives could require acquiring 

private properties and relocating the 

tenants or owners of the properties. 

UDOT will work closely with the 

impacted stakeholders and designers to 

reduce the number of acquisitions and 

relocations. 

The EIS will evaluate the expected 

impacts of and benefits to the known 

resources listed above as well as the 

following resources: Land use, social 

and community resources, traffic, 

economics, pedestrian and bicyclist 

considerations, air quality, noise, water 

quality, wildlife resources, floodplains, 

cultural resources, hazardous material 

sites, and visual resources. The level of 

review of the identified resources for the 

EIS will be commensurate with the 

anticipated effects on each resource 

from the proposed project and will be 

governed by the statutory or regulatory 

requirements protecting those resources. 

The analyses and evaluations 

conducted for the EIS will identify the 

potential for effects; avoidance 

measures; whether the anticipated 

effects would be adverse; and mitigation 

measures for adverse effects. UDOT 

welcomes comments on the expected 

impacts to be analyzed in the Draft EIS 

during the NOI comment period. 

Agencies, stakeholders, and the 

public are invited to comment on the 

expected impacts. The environmental 

impact analysis will not begin until the 

purpose and need, range of alternatives, 

and impact categories are finalized 

based on the public comments on this 

NOI. UDOT might revise the 

identification of impacts as a result of 

considering public comments. The 

studies to identify the impacts, as well 

as the analyses of impacts from the 

retained alternatives, will be presented 

in the Draft EIS. 

(d) Anticipated Permits and Other 

Authorizations 

The project might require a permit 

from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

(USACE) under Section 404 of the Clean 

Water Act and approvals from other 

agencies such as the U.S. Bureau of 

Reclamation (USBR) for impacts to 

USBR facilities in the project area and 

the National Park Service (NPS) for 

impacts to Land and Water 

Conservation Fund Act Section 6(f) 

resources in the project area. Additional 

state or local permits that may be 

required include stream alteration 

permits (PGP–10) from the Utah 

Division of Water Rights, Clean Water 

Act Section 401 Certification from the 

Utah Division of Water Quality, Clean 

Water Act Section 402 Utah Pollution 

Discharge Elimination System General 

Permit for Construction Activities from 

the Utah Division of Water Quality, 

floodplain development permits from 

local jurisdictions (cities or counties), 

and other construction related permits 

(such as Air Quality Approval Orders 

and Fugitive Dust Emission Control 

Plan from the Utah Division of Air 

Quality). This project is considered a 

‘‘major project’’ pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 

139, and all authorization decisions 

necessary for construction are 

anticipated to be completed not later 

than 90 days after the date when a 

Record of Decision is issued. 

(e) Scoping and Public Review 

Agency Coordination 

A coordination plan is being prepared 

to define the agency and public 

participation procedures for the 

environmental review process. The plan 

will establish cooperating and 

participating agency roles and a review 

schedule and will be posted on the 

project website (i15eis.udot.utah.gov). 

Cooperating agencies have been 

preliminarily identified to include the 

USACE, the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency, the USBR, and the 

NPS.

UDOT will initiate a scoping process 

in April 2022 to gather information and 

solicit input after this NOI is issued. 

During scoping, UDOT will coordinate 

with agencies, stakeholders, and the 

public and will provide an opportunity 

for comment on the draft purpose and 

need statement for the project, the range 

of potential alternatives, the draft 

alternatives screening methodology, and 

potentially significant environmental 

issues that will be evaluated in the EIS. 

A public scoping period will be held 

between April 11 and May 13, 2022. As
