Rescission of Record of Decision and Final Environmental Impact
Statement: La Crosse County, Wisconsin
AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice to rescind the Record of Decision (ROD) and the Final
Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FHWA, in cooperation with the Wisconsin Department of
Transportation (WisDOT), is issuing this notice to advise the public
that we are rescinding the 1998 Record of Decision (ROD) and the Final
Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) that proposed various
improvements along north-south corridors in La Crosse County, WI.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Lisa Hemesath, Environmental Protection Specialist, Federal Highway

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, as the lead Federal agency, in
cooperation with the WisDOT, is rescinding the ROD and the FEIS that
proposed various improvements along north-south corridors in La Crosse
County, WI. The purpose and need of the FEIS were to develop
transportation corridors that supported all transportation users,
supported economic growth, and met forecasted transportation demand.
The Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare the EIS was published in the
Federal Register on July 27, 1995. The FEIS was approved on January 7,
1998. The ROD was issued on May 22, 1998. The FHWA has determined, in
conjunction with WisDOT, that the ROD and the FEIS for the project
shall be rescinded for the following reasons: a lack of support from
the public and stakeholders, anticipated development in the corridor
has not occurred and forecasted travel demand hasn't been realized.
Any future Federal-aided action within this corridor will comply
with environmental review requirements of the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321), FHWA environmental regulations (23
CFR part 771) and related authorities, as appropriate. Comments and
questions concerning this action should be directed to FHWA or WisDOT
at the addresses provided above.
Glenn Fulkerson,
Division Administrator, FHWA Wisconsin Division, Madison, WI.
