Environmental Impact Statement: Benton County, MO
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 project
in Benton County, Missouri.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Donald Neuman, Federal Highway
Administration, P.O. Box 1787, Jefferson City, MO 65102, Telephone
Number 314-636-7104; or Mr. Robert Sfreddo, Design Engineer, Missouri
Highway and Transportation Department, P.O. Box 270, Jefferson City, MO
65102, Telephone Number 314-751-2876.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with the Missouri
Highway and Transportation Department (MHTD), will prepare an
environmental impact statement (EIS) on a proposal to build a four lane
relocation of U.S. Route 65 in Benton County, Missouri. The improved
highway would have a positive economic and social impact on the Lake of
the Ozarks region by providing traffic relief, increased mobility, and
enhanced social and economic opportunities.
1. The proposed highway project begins in Benton County south of
the Missouri Route 52 South Junction, and proceeds southward to the
Missouri Route 7 North Junction at Warsaw. It also includes highway
from Route 83 south to Route MM. The total project distance is
approximately 17.5 miles. The proposal will provide partial relocation
of U.S. Route 65 through the Lake of Ozarks region. The proposed
project would provide a four-lane roadway with freeway right of way for
the entire length of the project. Interchanges will be provided at or
near major arterial crossroads.
2. Alternatives currently under consideration include ``build''
alternatives, the ``no build'' alternative, and upgrading of existing
facilities.
3. To date, preliminary information has been furnished to local
officials, legislators, and other interested parties. Presentation of
the concept has been made at the local level and input received. The
scoping process has been initiated with Federal, State and local
agencies. Further public hearings also will be held. 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 questions concerning this
proposed action and the EIS should be directed to the FHWA or the
Missouri Highway and Transportation Department at the addresses
provided above.
Issued on: January 18, 1994.
