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 a proposed highway

project in the Towns of Derry and

Londonderry, in Rockingham County,

New Hampshire.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

William F. O’Donnell, P.E.,

Environmental Program Manager,

Federal Highway Administration, 279

Pleasant Street, Suite 204, Concord,

New Hampshire 03301–2509,

Telephone: (603) 225–1608. George H.

Sioras, Planning Director, Town of

Telephone: (603) 431–1100 X103.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the Towns

of Derry and Londonderry, will prepare

an EIS for a proposed highway project

to improve access to and from Interstate

93 (I–93) and the Towns served by NH

Route 102, especially Derry and

Londonderry. The project shall study

alternative access routes to the Interstate

system for through traffic along NH

Route 102, including the possibility of

a new interchange in the vicinity of Exit

4 and the necessary road networks to

connect the new interchange to the

highway system east and/or west of I–

93. Consideration of upgrading existing

roadways within the study area, as

alternative means of meeting the area’s

transportation requirements, will also be

addressed. Other potential alternative

solutions to be studied include: taking

no action, applying transportation

systems management (TSM)

improvements to selected locations on

existing roads, transportation demand

management (TDM), including mass

transit, and combinations of these

alternatives. Various designs of grade,

alignment, geometry and access will be

evaluated.

Citizens Advisory Task Force (CATF)

consisting of local officials and citizens,

NHDOT and FHWA will be established

to explore and evaluate transportation

alternatives and to evaluate project

input as this study progresses.

Letters describing the proposed action

and soliciting scoping comments will be

sent to appropriate Federal, state and

local agencies, and to private

organizations who have an interest in

this proposal. They will also be invited

to a formal scoping meeting. Public

information, community and CATF

meetings will be held in the study area

as the project progresses to consider

public input in the planning process. A

public hearing will be held following

distribution of the Draft Environmental

Impact Statement (DEIS). Public notice

will be given regarding the time and

location of this hearing. The DEIS will

be available for review and comment by

the public and interested agencies.

The formal scoping meeting will be

held at the West Running Brook Middle

School in Derry, New Hampshire on

July 30, 1998 in separate sessions, the

first beginning at 2:00 p.m., and the

second beginning at 7:00 to: (1) confirm

the limits of the project study area, (2)

help establish the study framework and

the impacts to be analyzed, and (3) help

to define a reasonable range of

alternatives to be considered. Study area

resources to be analyzed include the

natural environment (such as farmland,

wetlands, water resources and wildlife

habitat), the social environment (such as

land use, economic and residential

development, noise and community

facilities), the cultural environment

(historic and archaeological resources),

secondary impacts and the

transportation network. Agencies to be

invited to be cooperating agencies are

the U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA), the U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers (ACOE), the New Hampshire

Department of Transportation (NHDOT),

the New Hampshire Division of Historic

Resources (NHDHR), and the New

Hampshire Department of

Environmental Services (NHDES).

Comments and suggestions are invited

from all interested parties to ensure that

the full range of issues related to this

proposed action is addressed and all

significant issues are identified.

Comments or questions concerning this

proposed action should be addressed to

the FHWA, the Town of Derry or the
