Federal Highway Administration

Environmental Impact Statement:

Howell, MI

AGENCY: Federal Highway

Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this

notice to advise the public that an

Environmental Impact Statement will be

prepared for the proposed construction

of the East Howell Area I–96

Interchange in Genoa Township,

Livingston County, Michigan.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mr. James Kirschensteiner, Programs

and Environmental Engineer, Federal

Highway Administration, 315 W.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA in cooperation with the

Michigan Department of Transportation

(MDOT), the Southeast Michigan

Council of Governments (SEMCOG),

and the Livingston County Road

Commission (LCRC), is preparing an

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

for the proposed construction of a new

Interchange along I–96 between Chilson

Road and Dorr Road in Livingston

County. The proposed project would

require a new interchange which is

needed to improve access to the East

Howell Area. Traffic operations at the

Lake Chemung/I–96 Interchange, which

is a partial interchange, are not able to

accommodate current and future traffic

volumes.

A Major Investment Study is

underway to narrow the range of

alternative investment strategies. The

alternatives under consideration include

(1) No Build, (2) the construction of a

new I–96 Interchange at a new location,

and (3) the reconstruction of the Lake

Chemung/I–96 Interchange.

Letters describing the proposed action

and soliciting comments have been sent

to appropriate Federal, State, and local

agencies, and had a Scoping Document

attached. Letters requesting comments

have also been sent to organizations and

citizens who have previously expressed,

or are known to have interest in this

proposal. Two public information

meetings were held to date under the

Major Investment Study on April 17,

1996 and June 19, 1996, to provide the

public an opportunity to discuss the

proposed action. A public hearing will

also be held on the Draft Environmental

Impact Statement. Public notice will be

given of the time and place of the

hearing. The Draft EIS will be available

for public and agency review and

comment prior to the public hearing. A

Scoping Meeting is scheduled for

Thursday, July 25, 1996, and will be

held at 9:30 a.m. at the Livingston

County Road Commission Building,

3535 Grand Oaks Drive, Howell,

Michigan.

To ensure that the full range of issues

related to this proposed action are

addressed and all significant issues

identified, comments, and suggestions

are invited from all interested parties.

Comments or questions concerning this

proposed action and the EIS should be

directed to the FHWA at the address

provided above.

Environmental Impact Statement, St.

Paul, MN

AGENCY: Federal Highway

Administration.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this

notice to advise the public that an

environmental impact statement (EIS)

will be prepared for the possible

reconstruction of Ayd Mill Road, in St.

Paul, Minnesota.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

William Lohr, Federal Highway

Administration, Suite 490 Metro Square

Building, 121 East Seventh Place, St.

Paul, Minnesota, 55101, Telephone

(612) 290–3241; or Michael C. Klassen,

Public Works, 800 City Hall Annex, 25

Telephone (612) 266–6209.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the

Minnesota Department of

Transportation and the City of St. Paul,

will prepare an EIS on a proposal for the

improvement of Ayd Mill Road. Ayd

Mill Road is located in the southwestern

portion of the City of St. Paul and runs

in a northwesterly direction from I–35E

near Jefferson Avenue to the

intersection of Selby Avenue and Pascal

Street. The total length of the project is

approximately 1.8 miles.

A direct connection between I–35E

and the south end of Ayd Mill Road was

postponed in the early 1980’s until a

connection to I–94 on the north had

been studied. An Ayd Mill Road Task

Force, comprised of neighborhood

representatives and the City Planning

Commission, concluded in 1988 that

issues in the Ayd Mill Road corridor

were serious enough to warrant further

study in an EIS.

An EIS Scoping Process was initiated

in 1993. Working with the organizations

they represent, Task Force members

developed and evaluated ten major

alternatives, each with sub-alternatives.

In May 1996, the St. Paul City Council

determined that seven alternatives will

be carried forward in the Draft EIS. The

alternatives to be studied in the Draft

EIS include:

• No Build
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 129 / Wednesday, July 3, 1996 / Notices 34925

on December 29, 1995, and took effect on January

1, 1996, abolished the Interstate Commerce

Commission (ICC) and transferred certain functions

and proceedings to the Surface Transportation

Board (Board). Section 204(b)(1) of the Act

provides, in general, that proceedings pending

before the ICC on the effective date of that

legislation shall be decided under the law in effect

prior to January 1, 1996, insofar as they involve

functions retained by the Act. This notice relates to

a proceeding that was pending with the ICC prior

to January 1, 1996, and to functions that are subject

to Board jurisdiction pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 10903

and 10904.

direct connection to I–35E on the

south and a freeway-to-freeway

interchange with I–94

• High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes

alternatives

The Ayd Mill Road Scoping

Document and Draft Scoping Decision

Document was published February 6,

1995. A Public Scoping meeting was

held March 2, 1995 to receive

comments. After a delay due to

administrative matters, the Ayd Mill

Road Scoping Decision Document was

published May 13, 1996. Copies of both

documents were distributed to agencies,

interested persons, elected and

appointed officials and libraries. A press

release was published to inform citizens

of the documents’ availability.

Coordination has been initiated and

will continue with appropriate Federal,

State and local agencies, and private

organizations and citizens who have

previously expressed or are known to

have an interest in this project. A formal

public hearing will be held in the

project area following release of the

Draft EIS. Public notice will be given for

the time and place of the hearing. The

Draft EIS will be available for public

and agency review and comment prior

to the public hearing.

To ensure that all significant issues

relating to this proposed action are

addressed, comments and suggestions

are invited from all interested parties.

Comments or questions concerning this

proposed project and the EIS should be

directed to the City of St. Paul at the

address provided above.
