Environmental Impact Statements and Regulations; Availability of
EPA Comments

    Availability of EPA comments prepared pursuant to the Environmental
Review Process (ERP), under section 309 of the Clean Air Act and
Section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act as amended.
Requests for copies of EPA comments can be directed to the Office of
Federal Activities at (202) 564-7167.
    An explanation of the ratings assigned to draft environmental
impact statements (EISs) was published in FR dated April 14, 2000 (65
FR 20157).

Draft EISs

    ERP No. D-COE-H36110-NE Rating EO2, Western Sarpy/Clear Creek Flood
Reduction Study Including Environmental Restoration Component, Lower
Platte River and Tributaries, Saunders and Sarpy Counties, NE.
    Summary: EPA raised objections, noting the potential for
significant adverse impacts to natural resources, endangered species,
and flood plain values. EPA encouraged the Corps to examine non-
structural alternatives to lessen impacts.

    ERP No. D-FHW-E40783-SC Rating EC2, Dave Lyle Boulevard Extension,
New Location from the S.C. Route 161/Dave Lyle Boulevard Intersection
in York County to S.C. Route 75, in the vicinity of the U.S. Route 521/
S.C., York County Metropolitan Road Corridor Project, Funding, York and
Lancaster Counties, SC.
    Summary: EPA expressed concerns regarding potential project impacts
related to surface water, wetlands, and threatened and endangered
species.

    ERP No. D-FHW-H40170-MO Rating LO, U.S. Route 50 East-Central
Corridor Study, Highway Improvements from Route 50 to Route 63 east of
Jefferson City, Major Transportation Investment Analysis, Osage,
Gasconade, and Franklin Counties, MO.
    Summary: EPA has no objection to the project as proposed.

    ERP No. D-TVA-E39053-TN Rating EO2, Future Water Supply Needs in
the Upper Duck River Basin, NPDES Permit and COE Section 404 Permit,
Bedford, Marshall, Maury and Williamson Counties, TN.
    Summary: EPA expressed objections since EPA does not believe
additional source water is needed immediately, especially if
conservation measures are implemented during droughts. If selection of
a water supply alternative is locally preferred, we recommend
implementation of Alternative C over Alternative E if pipeline impacts
are minimal or a modification of Alternative E, if feasible, by
approximately 2025.

Final EISs

    ERP No. F-FHW-F40383-WI WI-113 Wisconsin River Crossing at
Merrimac, Improvements, US Coast Guard and COE Section 10 and 404
Permits, Columbia and Sauk Counties, WI.
    Summary: EPA has no objections with the preferred alternative.

    ERP No. F-FHW-F40387-OH Lancaster Bypass (FAI-US 22/US 33-9.59/
9.95) Construction, Funding, Greenfield, Hocking, Berne and Pleasant
Townships, Fairfield County, OH.
    Summary: EPA's previous concerns have been addressed; EPA does not
object to project implementation.
