Sussex County, DE 

AGENCIES: Federal Highway

ACTION: Update of notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA is updating a 

previous notice of intent (issued on 

Friday, June 3, 2005) to advise the 

public that an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) will be prepared for a 

proposed highway improvement project 

along US 113 in south central Sussex 

County, Delaware.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Highway Administration 

(FHWA), in cooperation with the 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 196 / Wednesday, October 8, 2008 / Notices 59029 

Delaware Department of Transportation 

(DelDOT), will prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

to consider changes to the existing US 

113 corridor including access 

restrictions, additional travel lanes, and 

the construction of a potential new 

alignment in south central Sussex 

County, Delaware. The proposed limited 

access facility would link back to the 

existing US 113 corridor north of the 

Town of Millsboro and in the vicinity of 

the Delaware/Maryland state line in the 

Town of Selbyville. 

In July 2001, DelDOT completed a 

feasibility study (Sussex County NorthSouth Transportation Feasibility Study) 

to consider improvements for the US 

113 corridor from the vicinity of 

Delaware Route 1 north of the City of 

Milford south to the Delaware/Maryland 

state line. Originally, the data and 

findings from the study indicated that 

upgrading the existing US 113 corridor 

is feasible and that improvements on 

new alignment or alignments, bypassing 

existing US 113, were a consideration in 

the Georgetown-South Area, which 

extends from the Town of Georgetown 

to the Delaware/Maryland state line 

(including the Towns of Georgetown, 

Millsboro, Dagsboro, Frankford, and 

Selbyville). 

The current US 113 North/South 

Study was initiated in 2003 as the next 

step in the overall planning process for 

the US 113 corridor north of the City of 

Milford to the Town of Selbyville at the 

Delaware/Maryland state line, a 

distance of approximately 40 miles. 

As a result of extensive public 

outreach and analysis of the anticipated 

impacts associated with a number of 

alternatives considered during the 

current US 113 North/South Study, 

FHWA and DelDOT have now 

determined that an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) is the appropriate class 

of action for the Georgetown Area (area 

in and around the Town of Georgetown) 

portion of the US 113 corridor identified 

in the original Notice of Intent. 

Further, FHWA and DelDOT 

recommend that the Millsboro-South 

Area (area in and around the Towns of 

Millsboro, Dagsboro, Frankford, and 

Selbyville located in south central 

Sussex County, Delaware) portion of the 

US 113 corridor identified in the 

original Notice of Intent be studied 

separately from the remaining US 113 

corridor, north of the Town of 

Millsboro, located in central to northern 

Sussex County. Because of the potential 

for new alignment alternative(s), access 

restrictions, and the resulting potential 

for significant impacts on the natural 

and human environment, the FHWA has 

determined that an EIS continues to be 

the appropriate class of action and 

documentation for any corridor changes 

that may be selected within the 

Millsboro-South Area of study, south of 

Georgetown. 

A program of public involvement and 

coordination with Federal, State, and 

local agencies for the US 113 corridor 

began in 2003 and is ongoing. Both 

agency and public involvement have 

been extensive and will continue 

throughout project development. 

Comments have been solicited from 

appropriate Federal, State, and local 

agencies, and private organizations and 

citizens who have previously expressed 

or are known to have interest in this 

proposal. The initial Agency Scoping 

Meeting was held in January 2004, and 

the Purpose and Need process was 

completed with agency concurrence. 

Public scoping meetings via public 

workshops were held and seven (7) 

rounds of informational meetings or 

public workshops have been conducted. 

Additional public workshops will be 

scheduled during the remainder of the 

planning study. In addition, a formal 

public hearing will be held after the 

draft EIS has been circulated. Public 

notice will be given announcing the 

time and place of all public meetings 

and the formal public hearing. The draft 

EIS will be available for public and 

agency review and comment prior to the 

public hearing on the draft EIS. 

To ensure that the full range of issues 

related to this proposed action is 

addressed and all significant issues are 

identified, comments, and suggestions 

are invited from all interested parties. 

Comments or questions concerning the 

proposed actions and the EIS and EA 

documentation should be directed to the 

FHWA or DelDOT at the addresses 

provided above.
