Environmental Impact Statement; Benton/Hickory/Dallas Counties,
Missouri
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, Hickory, and Dallas Counties in Missouri.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. Donald Neumann, Federal Highway Administration, P.O. Box 1787,
Jefferson City, MO 65102, Telephone Number 314-636-7104; or Mr. Bob
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, Hickory, and Dallas Counties in
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 economic opportunities.
1. The proposed highway project begins in Benton County near the
Route MM Junction at Warsaw, and proceeds southward through Hickory and
Dallas Counties. It ends 1.0 miles north of Route EE near Buffalo,
Missouri. The total project distance is 47.9 miles. The proposal will
provide partial relocation of U.S. Route 65 through the Lake of the
Ozarks and Pomme de Terre Lake region. The proposed project will
involve grading, paving, and bridges for a four-lane relocation 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, mass transportation
alternatives, 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 April 18, 1994.
