Rescinding the Notice of Intent To Prepare Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS): Hawaii County, Hawaii
AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that it
is rescinding its Notice of Intent (NOI) and will not be preparing an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for a proposed highway project in
Hawaii County, Hawaii. A NOI to prepare an EIS was published in the
Federal Register on March 18, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richelle Takara, Division
Administrator, Federal Highway Administration, 300 Ala Moana Boulevard,
Box 50206, Honolulu, Hawaii 96850, Telephone: (808) 541-2700.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with the State of
Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT), initiated an EIS with an
NOI published in the Federal Register on March 18, 2014, at 79 FR
15204. This notice revised an earlier notice for the same project
published in the Federal Register on July 13, 1999, at 64 FR 37827.
The project intended to address the linkage between the Queen
Kaahumanu Highway (State Highway 19) and the Mamalahoa Highway (State
Highway 190) in the vicinity of the Daniel K. Inouye Highway (formerly
Saddle Road [State Highway 200]). The purpose of the project was to
further develop this inter-regional capacity and connectivity between
the east and west regions on the island of Hawaii. The HDOT has
determined continued preparation of the EIS for the Saddle Road
Improvements (Project) is no longer feasible. The primary reason for
this determination is the financial impact of the estimated right-of-
way and construction costs of the Project. Therefore, the preparation
of the EIS is being terminated.
