SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Norfolk Airport Authority has

completed a master plan update for

future development projects at Norfolk

International Airport, including

construction of a new Runway 5R–23L.

The proposed new runway project

involves numerous airside

improvements, including, but not

limited to the following: runway and

taxiway construction, taxiway

relocation, runway safety area

construction, new airfield lighting,

improvements to existing lighting,

relocation of the Very High Frequency

Omni-directional Range/Tactical Air

Navigation (VORTAC) facility,

installation of a Medium Intensity

Approach Lighting System with

Runway Alignment Indicator Lights

(MALSR) for Runway 23L and a

Category II Instrument Landing MALSR

(CAT II ILS/MALSR) for Runway 5R.

Because the potential exists for this

proposed new runway and other

projects project to create significant

environmental impacts, the FAA

determined that preparation of an EIS

was necessary.

The Airport is located in the City of

Norfolk, adjacent to the City of Virginia

Beach municipal boundary and the U.S.

Navy Little Creek Amphibious Base.

The environmental issues of concern for

evaluation in the EIS are anticipated to

be noise, environmental justice, water

quality, public parks and recreation

areas, threatened and endangered

species, biotic communities, wetlands,

air quality, secondary impacts, and

cumulative impacts. Other isues that

will be addressed in the EIS include

potential impacts to floodplains,

cultural resources, utilities, and

hazardous materials.

With regard to project alternatives, the

EIS will include an analysis of a variety

of alternatives considered during the

project planning phase of the process. In

addition to the proposed action and the

No Action alternatives, the analysis will

include individual project site locations,

mitigation alternatives, and other

alternatives that may arise from the

scoping process.

Environmental Impact Statement:

Marion County, West Virginia

AGENCY: Federal Highway

Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Revised notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this

notice to advise the public that it is

revising the original notice of intent

published in the Federal Register on

August 3, 1994. The original notice

stated that an environmental impact

statement (EIS) would be prepared for a

proposed new expressway in Fairmont,

West Virginia (Riverside Expressway).

The proposed project was to include an

interchange with Interstate 79, crossing

either the Monongahela River or the

Tygart Valley and West fork Rivers,

utilizing an existing railroad right-ofway, ending at U.S. 19 south of

Rivesville, West Virginia. After

significant public involvement and

analysis of potential project impacts and

costs, the scope of the project has been

redefined and the project termini

altered. The redefined project, referred

to locally as the Fairmont Gateway

Connector, is being developed with

environmental assessment in lieu of an

EIS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In lieu of

preparation of an environmental impact

statement for the Riverside Expressway

Project, the FHWA, in cooperation with

the West Virginia Division of Highways

(WVDOH), will prepare an

environmental assessment for the

proposed Fairmont Gateway Connector

Project. The project is proposed to

relieve traffic congestion, improve

access to downtown Fairmont, increase

safety, stimulate economic development

and provide direct access to Interstate

79. The western terminus of the study

area is the west end of the Jefferson

Street Bridge. The eastern terminus is

Interstate 79. Alternates under
