McKenzie Highway Project Checklist

A Project Checklist  (Acrobat, 7.8 MB) is used by the Western Federal Lands Highway Division (WFLHD) of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), US Department of Transportation (USDOT), as part of its data gathering process and early coordination for a proposed action. It provides an opportunity for public and governmental agencies that may be affected by the proposed action, or that may have regulatory or administrative interest, to become involved in the project development process at an early stage.

This document describes the project purpose and need, overall scope of the project, and alternatives being considered. The checklist also describes environmental resources in the area and includes a preliminary assessment of potential impacts. This aids in identifying issues that are important and/or have potentially negative or beneficial environmental consequences.

The document provides information to help determine the scope of the project and the type of the environmental document, e.g., Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), Environmental Assessment (EA), or Categorical Exclusion (CE), required for compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

The checklist contains the results of the engineering investigations and environmental studies completed to date that are relevant to the proposed project. They include:
  • Project Identification Report (WFLHD, 2002)
  • Pavement design study (Terracon, 2005)
  • Section 106 Bridge Determination of Eligibility Forms (Oregon Inventory of Historic Properties) for Bridge #03976 (Archaeological Investigations Northwest [AINW], 2005a)
  • Section 106 Bridge Determination of Eligibility Forms (Oregon Inventory of Historic Properties) for Bridge #03977 (AINW, 2005b)
  • Fish and Wildlife Biological Evaluation (David Evans and Associates, Inc. [DEA], 2006a)
  • Botanical Biological Evaluation (DEA, 2006b)
  • Wetland Reconnaissance technical memorandum (DEA, 2006c)
  • Geotechnical Investigation draft technical memorandum (GRI, 2006)
