Environmental Impact Statement; Jefferson Parish, LA

AGENCY:  Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION:  Withdrawal of Notice of Intent.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY:  The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that the
Notice of Intent to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) for
the proposed highway project in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana has been
withdrawn. The Louisiana DOTD is not planning to pursue the project as
proposed.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Mr. William C. Farr, Program
Operations Manager, Federal Highway Administration, 5304 Flanders
Drive, Suite A, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70808 or Ms. Michele Deshotels,
Environmental Impact Program Manager, Louisiana Department of
Transportation and Development, Section 28, P.O. Box 94245, Baton
Rouge, Louisiana 70804-9245, Telephone: (225) 929-9190.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  A Notice of Intent was published (Federal
Register, Vol. 47, No. 229) to prepare and environmental impact
statement (EIS) on a proposal to extend LA-3134 from its terminus at
the south end of Wagner's Ferry Bridge southwesterly through the town
of Jean Lafitte crossing Bayou Barataria and terminating at LA-301 in
Barataria. The proposed facility would have been a two-lane highway
between 2.4 miles and 3.6 miles in length, depending upon the location.
The proposed highway would have provided improved access to and from
Jean Lafitte and Barataria.
    Alternatives considered were: (1) No build; (2) a controlled access
facility on structure; (3) a controlled access facility on embankment;
and (4) upgrading LA-45 and a new bridge across Bayou Barataria between
Jean Lafitte and Barataria.
    There were no plans to hold a formal scoping meeting for the
proposed actions. A public hearing would have been held at a convenient
time and place for persons in the project area after the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement had been circulated. The hearing would
have been announced through the local news media.
    Comments and suggestions concerning the proposed action and the EIS
were invited to be directed to the FHWA or Louisiana Department of
Transportation and Development.
