DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Highway Administration

Notice of Availability of the Revised Record of Decision for the 
1800 North (SR-37); 2000 West to I-15 Project in Utah and Final Federal 
Agency Actions

AGENCY: Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), Federal Highway 
Administration (FHWA), Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Notice of Availability and Notice of Limitations on Claims for 
Judicial Review of Actions by UDOT and Other Federal Agencies.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of UDOT, issuing this notice to announce 
the availability of the Revised Record of Decision (ROD) and actions 
taken by UDOT that are final. The actions relate to the proposed 1800 
North (SR-37); 2000 West to I-15 project, in the cities of Clinton and 
Sunset, Davis County, Utah. Those actions grant licenses, permits, and/
or approvals for the project.

DATES: This decision became operative on October 4, 2024. By this 
notice, FHWA, on behalf of UDOT, is advising the public of final agency 
actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A claim seeking judicial review 
of the Federal agency actions on the highway project will be barred 
unless the claim is filed on or before May 15, 2025. If the Federal law 
that authorizes judicial review of a claim provides a time period of 
less than 150 days for filing such claim, then that shorter time period 
still applies.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Naomi Kisen, Environmental Program 
Manager, UDOT Environmental Services, PO Box 148450, Salt Lake City, UT 
84114; (801)-965-4005; email: [email protected]. UDOT's normal business 
hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Mountain Time Zone), Monday through Friday, 
except State and Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental review, consultation, and 
other actions required by applicable Federal environmental laws for 
this action are being, or have been, carried out by UDOT pursuant to 23 
U.S.C. 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) dated May 26, 2022, 
and executed by FHWA and UDOT. Under the MOU, UDOT is responsible for 
conducting any additional environmental review that is required for 
projects that were approved by FHWA prior to execution of the MOU. The 
Revised ROD was processed in accordance with the MOU, and UDOT is the 
agency responsible for approving the Revised ROD. Actions taken by UDOT 
on FHWA's behalf pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 constitute Federal agency 
actions for purposes of Federal law. Notice is hereby given that UDOT 
has taken final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by 
issuing licenses, permits, and/or approvals for the 1800 North (SR-37); 
2000 West to I-15 project in the State of Utah.
    A Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and section 4(f) 
Evaluation for 1800 North (SR-37); 2000 West to I-15 project was 
completed in December 2015 and approved through the issuance of a ROD 
on December 21, 2015, by the FHWA. Alternative F was identified as the 
Selected Alternative in the 2015 ROD. Alternative F included the 
widening of 1800 North to a five-lane cross-section; the grade-
separation of 1800 North and the railroad at approximately 500 West; 
and an interchange that avoided the Army Rail Shop, a section 4(f) 
resource. Since the original ROD was issued, conditions in the project 
area have changed and UDOT completed a re-evaluation of the EIS in 
2023. As a separate project, the Army Rail Shop and associated 
buildings protected by section 4(f) have been demolished and avoidance 
of these resources is no longer needed. As a result of the EIS Re-
evaluation, UDOT has identified Alternative D as the new Selected 
Alternative.
    The Project proposes to reduce congestion, improve mobility and 
access to I-15, and improve safety and operational characteristics on 
the 1800 North study corridor. Improvements will consist of a new 
interchange on I-15 at 1800 North; a grade-separated railroad crossing 
on 1800 North; and widening 1800 North between 2000 West and Main 
Street to a five-lane cross-section (two travel lanes in each direction 
with a two-way, left-turn lane) for most of the corridor. As 1800 North 
approaches 2000 West and Main Street, 1800 North would require 
additional lanes to accommodate turning movements. These improvements 
were identified in the EIS and EIS Re-evaluation prepared for the 
project by UDOT as Alternative D. The decision to approve Alternative D 
for the Project was based on UDOT's review of the entire record 
including the 2015 EIS and the 2023 EIS Re-evaluation as well as 
technical reports, correspondence, and other information developed as 
part of the environmental review process for the project.
    The project is identified in UDOT's adopted 2025-2030 State 
Transportation Improvement Program as project identification number 
15682 with funding identified for right-of-way, final design and 
construction. The project is also included in the adopted Wasatch Front 
Regional Council (WFRC) 2023-2050 Regional Transportation Plan approved 
in May 2024 (as amended in August 2024).
    The actions by UDOT, and the laws under which such actions were 
taken, are described in the EIS Re-evaluation approved on October 16, 
2023, and the Revised ROD approved on October 4, 2024, and other 
documents in the project records. The EIS Re-evaluation and Revised ROD 
are available for review by contacting UDOT at the address provided 
above. In addition, these documents can be viewed and downloaded from 
the project website at https://udotinput.utah.gov/1800north.
