DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement, Yuba 

and Sutter Counties, State of California

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 a proposed highway project 

in Yuba and Sutter Counties, State of 

California. The proposed project is 

called the Third Bridge Crossing of the 

Feather River.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Mike Bartlett, Chief, Office of 

Environmental Management, 1303 O 

Street, 2nd Fl., Sacramento, CA 

95814, (916) 324–5150. 

Maiser Khaled, Chief, District 

Operations, Federal Highway 

Administration, 980 Ninth Street, 

Suite 400, Sacramento, CA 95814, 

(916) 498–5020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposed project would construct a 

freeway system to link SR 65/70 with 

SR 99 and construct a bridge structure 

over the Feather River. The east-west 

freeway link would cross the Feather 

River south of Marysville (Yuba County) 

and Yuba City (Sutter County). Located 

near and within the project area are the 

communities of Olivehurst, Alicia, 

Linda, Yuba City and the City of 

Marysville. 

Scoping Process 

The project has been in the planning 

stages since the 1980’s. A Notice of 

Intent was published in December 1989, 

however, the project was tabled due to 

lack of funding. In the interim, the 

California Department of Transportation 

(Caltrans) has conducted meetings with 

the public, with local governmental 

officials and with jurisdictional 

agencies. A preliminary environmental 

analysis was performed in June and July 

2000. Caltrans with FHWA initiated the 

NEPA/404 Integration and the Purpose 

and Need for the project has been 

reviewed by agencies with jurisdiction. 

In addition, a series of four workshops 

was held in the twin-cities area of Yuba 

City/Marysville in the last three years. 

One workshop was specifically for the 

Hmong (Southeast Asian refugees) 

community of Yuba County, which is in 

close proximity to the eastern end of the 

project. Special outreach efforts were 

complemented with Hmong-English 

translators and community 

representatives. 

Letters describing the proposed action 

and soliciting comments will be sent to 

appropriate Federal, State, and local 

agencies and to private organizations/

citizens who have previously expressed 

or are known to have interest in this 

proposal. At the time the draft 

environmental impact statement is 

circulated for public comments, a public 

hearing will be held. 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. 

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.
