Agency Actions
AGENCY: Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), Federal Highway

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of UDOT, issuing this notice to announce
the availability of the Revised Record of Decision (ROD) and actions
taken by UDOT that are final. The actions relate to the proposed 1800

DATES: This decision became operative on October 4, 2024. By this
notice, FHWA, on behalf of UDOT, is advising the public of final agency
actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A claim seeking judicial review
of the Federal agency actions on the highway project will be barred
unless the claim is filed on or before May 15, 2025. If the Federal law
that authorizes judicial review of a claim provides a time period of
less than 150 days for filing such claim, then that shorter time period
still applies.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Naomi Kisen, Environmental Program
Manager, UDOT Environmental Services, PO Box 148450, Salt Lake City, UT
84114; (801)-965-4005; email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#96f8fdffe5f3f8d6e3e2f7feb8f1f9e0"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="583633312b3d36182d2c3930763f372e">[email protected]</span></a>. UDOT's normal business
hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Mountain Time Zone), Monday through Friday,
except State and Federal holidays.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental review, consultation, and
other actions required by applicable Federal environmental laws for
this action are being, or have been, carried out by UDOT pursuant to 23
U.S.C. 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) dated May 26, 2022,
and executed by FHWA and UDOT. Under the MOU, UDOT is responsible for
conducting any additional environmental review that is required for
projects that were approved by FHWA prior to execution of the MOU. The
Revised ROD was processed in accordance with the MOU, and UDOT is the
agency responsible for approving the Revised ROD. Actions taken by UDOT
on FHWA's behalf pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 constitute Federal agency
actions for purposes of Federal law. Notice is hereby given that UDOT
has taken final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by
issuing licenses, permits, and/or approvals for the 1800 North (SR-37);
2000 West to I-15 project in the State of Utah.
A Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and section 4(f)
Evaluation for 1800 North (SR-37); 2000 West to I-15 project was
completed in December 2015 and approved through the issuance of a ROD
on December 21, 2015, by the FHWA. Alternative F was identified as the
Selected Alternative in the 2015 ROD. Alternative F included the
widening of 1800 North to a five-lane cross-section; the grade-
separation of 1800 North and the railroad at approximately 500 West;
and an interchange that avoided the Army Rail Shop, a section 4(f)
resource. Since the original ROD was issued, conditions in the project
area have changed and UDOT completed a re-evaluation of the EIS in
2023. As a separate project, the Army Rail Shop and associated
buildings protected by section 4(f) have been demolished and avoidance
of these resources is no longer needed. As a result of the EIS Re-
evaluation, UDOT has identified Alternative D as the new Selected
Alternative.
The Project proposes to reduce congestion, improve mobility and
access to I-15, and improve safety and operational characteristics on
the 1800 North study corridor. Improvements will consist of a new
interchange on I-15 at 1800 North; a grade-separated railroad crossing
on 1800 North; and widening 1800 North between 2000 West and Main
Street to a five-lane cross-section (two travel lanes in each direction
with a two-way, left-turn lane) for most of the corridor. As 1800 North
approaches 2000 West and Main Street, 1800 North would require
additional lanes to accommodate turning movements. These improvements
were identified in the EIS and EIS Re-evaluation prepared for the
project by UDOT as Alternative D. The decision to approve Alternative D
for the Project was based on UDOT's review of the entire record
including the 2015 EIS and the 2023 EIS Re-evaluation as well as
technical reports, correspondence, and other information developed as
part of the environmental review process for the project.
The project is identified in UDOT's adopted 2025-2030 State
Transportation Improvement Program as project identification number
15682 with funding identified for right-of-way, final design and
construction. The project is also included in the adopted Wasatch Front
Regional Council (WFRC) 2023-2050 Regional Transportation Plan approved
in May 2024 (as amended in August 2024).
The actions by UDOT, and the laws under which such actions were
taken, are described in the EIS Re-evaluation approved on October 16,
2023, and the Revised ROD approved on October 4, 2024, and other
documents in the project records. The EIS Re-evaluation and Revised ROD
are available for review by contacting UDOT at the address provided
above. In addition, these documents can be viewed and downloaded from
the project website at <a href="https://udotinput.utah.gov/1800north">https://udotinput.utah.gov/1800north</a>.
