DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Highway Administration

Environmental Impact Statement: City

of Chesapeake, VA

AGENCY: Federal Highway

Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The Federal Highway

Administration is issuing this notice to

advise the public of its intent to adopt

the environmental impact statement

prepared by the U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers to support a permit

application for the construction of Route

168 on new location in the City of

Chesapeake and issue their own Record

of Decision.

Bruce Turner, Planning and

Environment Program Manager, Federal

Highway Administration, The Dale

Building, Suite 205, 1504 Santa Rosa

Road, Richmond, Virginia 23229,

Telephone 804–281–5111.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.

Corps of Engineers (Corps), in

cooperation with the Virginia

Department of Transportation (VDOT),

prepared a draft Environmental Impact

Statement (EIS) and made it available to

the public in September 1995 for a

proposed project to construct four lanes

on new location which would alleviate

traffic conditions on existing Route 168

in the City of Chesapeake. The Corps

assumed responsibility as the lead

agency due to their authority over

wetlands and to support a permit

application and because VDOT had no

intention of using any Federal-aid funds

in the planning, design or construction

of the proposed project. After

conducting a joint public hearing with

VDOT, the Corps considered all

comments they had received and issued

a final environmental impact statement

in September 1996. On December 16,

1996, the Corps issued their Record of

Decision. In June 1998, President

Clinton signed authorizing legislation

for the Federal Highway Administration

known as the Transportation Equity Act

of the 21st Century (TEA–21). In TEA–

21, the U.S. Congress set-aside Federalaid funds for the construction of Route

168 in the City of Chesapeake. In

response to this set-aside, VDOT has

requested that the FHWA accept the

Corps’ environmental impact statement

to support the approval and

authorization of these Federal-aid funds

for construction of Route 168.

The FHWA has reviewed the Corps’

environmental impact statement to

determine if it can be readily adopted as
