PUBLICATION OF A NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER
The Norfolk District announces the publication of a Notice of Availability of a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the Route 460 Location Study from Prince George County to the City of Suffolk, Virginia. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Corps of Engineers, as joint lead federal agencies, with cooperation of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), has prepared the document to Supplement the EIS prepared by FHWA (Draft EIS in 2005 and Final EIS in 2008). The SEIS was prepared because of new information and circumstances relevant to the federal action that may result in significant environmental impacts to wetlands, streams and water quality not evaluated in the approved FEIS.
