DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Highway Administration

Environmental Impact Statement: Utah

and Wasatch Counties, UT

AGENCY: Federal Highway

Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Amended Notice of Intent.

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this

notice to advise the public that an

additional component, a recreational

trail, will be added and the termini

changed for the supplement to a final

environmental impact statement being

prepared for a proposed highway project

in Utah and Wasatch Counties, Utah.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Coordinator, Federal Highway

Administration, 2520 West 4700 South,

Transportation, Region 3, 658 North

Telephone: (801) 222–3406.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the Utah

Department of Transportation (UDOT),

previously issued a Notice of Intent in

the Federal Register (February 24, 2000:

Volume 65, Number 371, Page 9305) to

prepare a supplement to the final

environmental impact statement (EIS)

for a portion of a U.S. Highway 189 from

the I–15 Interchange in Orem on the

west to Heber City on the east. A

recreational trail known as the Provo/

Jordan River Parkway, which is a

recognized priority in the current

Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor

Recreational Plan, will now be included

in the analysis for the project. Since

portions of the highway have been

completed and to avoid confusion with

another ongoing project in Orem, the

highway termini will be changed from

the previous designation on the west to

the Utah/Wasatch County line

(approximately the intersection of U.S.

Highway 189 with State Road 92 at

Wildwood) and the intersection of U.S.

Highway 189 with U.S. Highway 40

approximately 0.8 km (0.5 mile) south

of Heber City on the east. The trail

termini will extend from Vivian Park on

the west (1.9 km [1.2 miles] west of

Wildwood) to the Deer Creek Dam

(approximately 8 km [5 miles] east of

Wildwood) on the east. The purpose of

the project is to improve the safety and

traffic carrying capacity of the highway

by correcting substandard geometrics

and other unsafe conditions and to

provide a safe, aesthetically appealing

extension of the high priority

recreational trail with minimal

environmental impact.

The trail will extend from its present

termini at Vivian Park through the U.S.

Highway 189 /Provo River corridor to

the vicinity of the Deer Creek Dam

utilizing appropriate combinations of

abandoned highway, Heber Creeper

Railroad right of way, existing local

roads and bridges, water aqueduct right

of way, and new alignment. Future

extension of the trail is planned for the

west side of Deer Creek Reservoir to the

Soldier Hollow Olympic Venue in

Wasatch Mountain State Park and will

be addressed in a new environmental

document at a later date.

Comments are being solicited from

appropriate Federal, State, and local

agencies and from private organizations

and citizens who have previously

expressed or are known to have interest

in this proposal. A public scoping and

information meeting and a public

hearing will be held during the course

of the analysis. Public notice will be

given of the time and place of the

meetings and hearing. The draft SEIS

will be available for public and agency

review prior to the public hearing.

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 and/or questions concerning

this proposed action and the EIS should

be directed to the FHWA or UDOT at

the addresses provided above.
