E8-7577. Environmental Impact Statement: Salt Lake and Davis Counties, UT

AGENCY:

Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION:

Notice of Termination.

SUMMARY:

The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that the effort to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for transportation improvements in the I-15 North Corridor from downtown Salt Lake City to Kaysville will be terminated.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The project was initiated in 1997 and was a companion project to the Legacy Parkway EIS. Portions of the I-15 North Corridor and the Legacy Parkway project study areas overlapped and results of environmental studies performed for the I-15 North Corridor project were utilized in the Legacy Parkway EIS. Due to litigation on the Legacy Parkway project, the I-15 North Corridor Project was placed on hold. There were no federal funds used for the I-15 North Corridor EIS project. There are no immediate plans for substantial improvements in the I-15 North Corridor; therefore the EIS for the North Corridor Project will be terminated.
