30 Crossing FONSI

Based upon the Environmental Assessment (EA), additional information included in the FONSI document, and the Disposition of Public Comments for the Location and Design Public Hearing, FHWA concludes that the proposed project will not have a significant impact on the environment.

No additional NEPA documentation is required for this project. FHWA in cooperation with ARDOT identifies Alternative 2B as the Selected Alternative for the project. If, during design or construction, changes in laws or regulations occur that affect the project, or there are major design changes that result in greater impacts than those evaluated in this document, a re­evaluation of this EA will be performed.

The Arkansas Department of Transportation has completed the assessment of the proposed project and the Federal Highway Administration issues a Finding of No Significant Impact for the 30 Crossing Project in Pulaski County, Arkansas.

EA Eratta Sheet

This Environmental Assessment (EA) for 30 Crossing was prepared to:

• Evaluate the environmental effects of improving I-30 and I-40.
• Inform and receive feedback from the public and decision makers about the purpose and need for the project, the alternatives that are being considered, and the anticipated environmental effects of the improvements.
• Determine whether effects are significant and require an Environmental Impact Statement or if the project effects can be sufficiently documented through an EA and Finding of No Significant Impacts (FONSI).
