Background

FHWA, in cooperation with the

Montana Department of Transportation

(MDT), and the Confederated Salish and

Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) prepared a

Final Environmental Impact Statement

(FEIS) and Section 4(f) Evaluation on

June 17, 1996, to describe the proposed

project, alternatives and the social,

economic, and environmental impacts.

The FEIS (FHWA–MT–EIS–95–01–F)

covered the area from Evaro (MP 6.5) to

the north end of Polson at milepost 62.8.

A Record of Decision (ROD) was

prepared on August 12, 1996, and

modified on February 9, 1998, which

selected the existing alignment for

improvements. However, this ROD was

unique in that FHWA deferred making

a decision on lane configurations until

agreement was reached on a number of

issues including design features and

mitigation measures.

FHWA, MDT and CSKT have since

negotiated a Memorandum of

Agreement (MOA) dated December 20,

2000. The MOA lays out a conceptual

lane configuration, design features and

mitigation measures for 30.8 miles of US

93 from Evaro to the Red Horn Road/

Dublin Gulch Road intersection (MP

37.1) and for 10.6 miles of US 93 from

the Spring Creek Road/Baptiste Road

intersection (MP 48.3) to Polson.

Currently a re-evaluation is underway

on the section of US 93 which extends

from Evaro to Polson, with the

exception of the 11.2 mile stretch

between Red Horn Road and Spring

Creek Road, known as the Ninepipe

segment.

Due to extensive environmental and

cultural issues, the segment from the

vicinity of Red Horn Road on the south

to Spring Creek Road on the north was

excepted out of the MOA, as well as the

Re-evaluation. This segment, referred to

as the Ninepipe segment, requires

additional environmental studies.

FHWA, in cooperation with MDT and

CSKT, will prepare a Supplemental

Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS)

to explore alternatives for the Ninepipe

segment, and to evaluate impacts

resulting from new circumstances and

additional information relevant to

environmental and cultural concerns for

this 11.2-mile section of US-93.

The SEIS will evaluate the short and

long-term impacts of a range of

alternatives, including but not limited

to; no-build, upgrading the existing

facility, and construction on a new

alignment. This impact assessment will

include, but not be limited to, impacts

on wetlands, wildlife and fisheries;

social environment; changes in land

use; aesthetics; changes in traffic and

economic impacts. Environmental

Justice (as outlined in Executive Order

12898) will also be addressed as part of

the impact assessment. The SEIS will

also examine measures to mitigate

significant adverse impacts resulting

from the proposed action.

Comments are being solicited from

appropriate federal, state, tribal, and

local agencies and from private

organizations and citizens who have

interest in this proposal. Public

information meetings will be held in the

project area to discuss the potential

alignments. The draft SEIS will be made

available for public and agency review;

and a public hearing will be held to

receive comments. Public notice will be

given of the time and place of all

meetings and hearings.

Comments and/or suggestions from all

interested parties are requested, to

ensure that the full range of all issues,

and significant environmental issues in

particular, are identified and reviewed.

Comments or questions concerning this

proposed action and/or its SEIS should

be directed to FHWA, MDT or CSKT at

the addresses listed previously.
