the public that a Draft Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) 

has been prepared jointly with the 

Federal Highway Administration 

(FHWA) and in cooperation with the 

Virginia Department of Transportation 

(VDOT) for the Route 460 Location 

Study. The study area extends from I– 

295 in Prince George County on the 

western end to Route 58 in the City of 

Suffolk on the eastern end. (USACE 

Project Number NAO–2008–03470; 

FHWA Project Number STP–0005(276); 

VDOT Project Number 0460–969– 

101,P101; UPC 100432).

SEIS will be received until the close of 

the 45-day public review on November 

17, 2014, and can be sent to USACE 

and/or FHWA (see ADDRESSES).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This SEIS 

has been prepared pursuant to 23 CFR 

771.130 and 40 CFR 1502.9(c), because 

of new information and circumstances 

relevant to environmental concerns of 

the federal action that may result in 

significant environmental impacts not 

evaluated in the FHWA approved Final 

Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). 

1. Project Description and 

Background: An FEIS for the Route 460 

Location Study was approved by FHWA 

in June 2008 and a ROD was issued in 

September 2008. In November 2012, 

based upon the information before them 

at the time, FHWA completed a 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) Re-evaluation of the FEIS, 

concluding that an SEIS was not 

needed. Based on new information 

bearing on the environmental impacts, 

including the aquatic impacts, it was 

later decided that an SEIS is required. 

The Notice of Intent to Prepare this 

SEIS, published in December 2013, 

indicated that USACE had received an 

application for the construction of a 

Route 460 project; that application was 

withdrawn in March 2014. 

US Route 460 (Route 460) is a primary 

east-west arterial highway that traverses 

the Commonwealth of Virginia. From 

Interstate 295 (I–295) in Prince George 

County to US Route 58 (Route 58) in the 

City of Suffolk, Route 460 is a four lane, 

undivided arterial roadway with posted 

speeds of 35 to 55 miles per hour (mph). 

This eastern segment of the road was 

built in the mid-1930s as a two-lane 

roadway. In the mid-1950s, two lanes 

were added, widening Route 460 to four 

undivided travel lanes. In the study area 

Route 460 is approximately 55 miles in 

length and passes through portions of 

the Counties of Prince George, Surry, 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

59760 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 192 / Friday, October 3, 2014 / Notices 

Sussex, Southampton and Isle of Wight; 

the City of Suffolk; the incorporated 

towns of Waverly, Wakefield, Ivor, and 

Windsor; and the unincorporated 

communities of Disputanta and Zuni. 

2. Alternatives: The purpose of the 

improvements to the Route 460 corridor 

is to construct a facility that is 

consistent with the functional 

classification of the corridor, 

sufficiently addresses safety, mobility 

and evacuation needs, and sufficiently 

accommodates freight traffic along the 

Route 460 corridor between Petersburg 

and Suffolk, Virginia. The SEIS provides 

detailed analysis of five alternatives 

(Alternatives 1–5) that meet the Purpose 

and Need for the project as well as 

applicable design standards, plus the No 

Build Alternative. The Build 

Alternatives have been developed using 

varying typical sections based on design 

standards and site specific conditions to 

determine the design corridor width 

that will likely be needed to 

accommodate construction and estimate 

the extent of impacts associated with 

each alternative. 

Some of the Alternatives considered 

in the SEIS are different than the 

alternatives in the original EIS. 

Transportation Systems Management 

and Improvements to the Existing 

Alignment with a two-way left turn lane 

were evaluated in the EIS, but were 

eliminated in the SEIS, along with Mass 

Transit, which was considered for both 

the EIS and the SEIS but not retained in 

either. Alternatives retained from the 

EIS include the No Build; Alternative 1 

(a limited-access tolled facility on new 

location south of the existing Route 460; 

the Preferred Alternative in the 2008 

FEIS); Alternative 2 (improvements to 

the existing Route 460 with six limited 

access bypasses around the built-up 

areas; the four lane typical section 

between the towns is not the same as in 

the original EIS); and Alternative 3 (a 

limited-access tolled facility on new 

location north of the existing Route 

460). In addition, two alternatives not 

previously evaluated were developed as 

part of the SEIS and carried forward: 

Alternative 4 (improvements of existing 

Route 460 to meet current design 

standards, through the towns with no 

bypasses); and Alternative 5 (8-lanes— 

4 limited-access tolled lanes with 2 bidirectional service lanes on each side 

between the towns—on the same 

general location as Alternative 2 along 

the existing roadway with bypasses). 

3. Issues: There are several potential 

environmental and social issues that are 

addressed in the SEIS. Additional issues 

may be identified as part of the public 

comment process. Issues identified as 

potentially significant and varying 

depending on the Build Alternative 

considered include: 

a. Potential impacts to wetlands 

ranging from 90 to 613 acres. 

b. Potential impacts to streams 

ranging from 4 to 13 linear miles. 

c. Potential displacements to 

residences of 78 to 167. 

d. Potential displacements to 

businesses of 12 to 54. 

e. Potential impacts to historic 

architectural resources. 

f. Potential impacts to wildlife habitat, 

including riparian corridors. 

g. Disruption of communities. 

h. Potential impacts to designated 

conservation areas. 

i. Cost and tolling. 

4. Scoping and Public Review Process: 

Throughout the development of the 

project, a variety of scoping and public 

involvement opportunities were 

provided to alert the public about the 

project, provide information and 

updates, and solicit feedback. These 

opportunities included but were not 

limited to a series of public hearings in 

the corridor when the DEIS was issued 

in 2005 and a series of public meetings 

in 2007 to evaluate conceptual 

proposals received from the private 

sector in response to the solicitation of 

private-public proposals. Most recently, 

VDOT hosted public meetings in 2012 

and 2014 to update the public on the 

project. Public meetings will be 

conducted on October 27, 29 and 30 by 

VDOT, with FHWA and USACE in 

attendance. VDOT has provided 

information for the public meetings, 

including time and location, through a 

variety of means, including their Web 

site (http://www.route460project.org/) 

and by newspaper advertisement. 

5. Additional Review and 

Consultation: The SEIS complies with 

other Federal and State requirements 

including, but not limited to, the State 

water quality certification under Section 

401 of the CWA; protection of water 

quality under the Virginia/National 

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System; 

consideration of minority and low 

income populations under Executive 

Order 12898; protection of endangered 

and threatened species under Section 7 

of the Endangered Species Act; and 

protection of cultural resources under 

Section 106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act. 

6. Availability of the Draft SEIS: This 

Draft SEIS has been filed with the 

Environmental Protection Agency, 

published and circulated. A copy of the 

full document including all Technical 

Reports can be found at http:// 

www.route460project.org/SEIS. In 

addition, hard copies of the SEIS can be 

found in area libraries and other public 

facilities, the locations of which can be 

found on the VDOT project Web site 

(address above).
