Background 

The FHWA in cooperation with the 

Idaho Department of Transportation 

(ITD), and Connecting Idaho Partners 

(CIP) will prepare an EIS to identify an 

alignment for the extension of State 

Highway 16 (SH 16) from SH 44 (State 

Street) to Interstate 84 (I–84) in Ada 

County, Idaho. This extension includes 

a new bridge across the Boise River. 

Notice is hereby given that the public 

scoping process has been initiated to 

prepare an EIS that will address the 

impacts of and alternatives to the 

proposal. The purpose of the scoping 

process is to solicit public comment 

regarding the full spectrum of issues 

and concerns, including a suitable range 

of alternatives, and the nature and 

extent of potential environmental 

impacts and appropriate mitigation 

measures that should be addressed in 

the EIS process. The EIS will examine 

the short and long-term impacts of a 

reasonable range of alternatives, 

including the no action alternative, on 

the natural, physical, and human 

environments. The impacts 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 EIS will also examine 

measures to mitigate adverse impacts 

resulting from the proposed action. 

Comments are being solicited from 

Federal, State, 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 EIS will 

be 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 purpose and need for the 

project, 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 EIS should 

be directed to the FHWA, ITD or CIP at 

the addresses listed previously. 

It is anticipated that a draft EIS will 

be available in the Fall of 2009.
