Environmental Impact Statements and Regulations; Availability of 
EPA Comments

    Availability of EPA comments prepared August 8, 1994 through August 
12, 1994 pursuant to the Environmental Review Process (ERP), under 
section 309 of the Clean Air Act and section 102(2)(c) of the National 
Environmental Policy Act as amended. Requests for copies of EPA 
comments can be directed to the Office of Federal Activities at (202) 
260-5076.
    An explanation of the ratings assigned to draft environmental 
impact statements (EISs) was published in the Federal Register  dated 
April 8, 1994 (59 FR 16807).

Draft EISs

    ERP No. D-COE-G32053-LA Rating LO, Port Fourchon Navigation 
Channel Project, Channel Deepening, Implementation, Lafourche 
Parish, LA.
    Summary: EPA had no objections to the proposed project.
    ERP No. D-USA-L11022-WA Rating EC2, Fort Lewis Military 
Installation Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Program, 
Implementation, City of DuPont, Pierce and Thurston Counties, WA.
    Summary: EPA expressed environmental concerns based on potential 
air and water quality impacts. Additional information and 
clarification is needed to: identify the extent of air quality 
impacts and their conformity to SIP requirements for the area; 
clarify the technical aspects regarding a variance request for 
operation of a landfill in a sole source aquifer; and describe the 
impacts of potentially characteristic fly ash on solid and hazardous 
waste management.

Final EISs

    ERP No. F-FHW-K40203-CA, Adoption--Calexico East Border Station 
Construction and Road Construction, CA-7 between the New Port of 
Entry and CA-98 that borders the United States and Mexico, Funding 
and Right-of-way Permit, City of Calexico, Imperial County, CA.

    Summary: EPA had environmental concerns and requests that the 
FHWA Record of Decision recognize two major issues regarding the GSA 
FEIS which FHWA intends to adopt: (1) the U.S. Congress has not 
appropriated funding for a wastewater treatment facility at the New 
River in Calexico and (2) that any future proposal to reverse or dam 
the Alamo River to prevent transboundary sewage flows into the U.S. 
would be a major Federal action requiring the preparation of an EIS 
or EIS supplement.
