DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARY: The following is a statement in nontechnical language of the substance and purpose of the intended negotiated rulemaking and the principal issues involved: This rulemaking concerns the review of current IDAPA 13.01.07, “Rules Governing the Taking of Upland Game Animals,” in compliance with Executive Order 2020-01. The agency has identified the current chapter contains administrative rules that are duplicated in multiple chapters of IDAPA 13. The agency is thus considering repeal of IDAPA 13, Title 01, Chapter 07, specific to the taking of upland game animals and re-codifying this chapter to include rules that apply to taking of wildlife or of game animals in general, including game management unit descriptions, identification of areas closed in general to the taking of wildlife (excluding fish), requirements for reasonable efforts to retrieve, and the use of the Commission’s proclamation authority for establishing seasons and limits for wildlife (including fish). The agency plans to address methods of take and shooting hours specific to taking of upland game animals in its repeal and recodification of rules for the taking of game birds, as provided in Docket No. 13-0109-2101, included in this bulletin.

  • Functional Classification Update Report for the Pocatello/Chubbuck Urbanized Area
    Functional Classification Update Report For the Pocatello/Chubbuck Urbanized Area Functional Classification Update Report Introduction The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1973 required the use of functional highway classification to update and modify the Federal-aid highway systems by July 1, 1976. This legislative requirement is still effective today. Functional classification is the process by which streets and highways are grouped into classes, or systems, according to the character of service they are intended to provide. The functional classification system recognizes that streets cannot be treated as independent, but rather they are intertwined and should be considered as a whole. Each street has a specific purpose or function. This function can be characterized by the level of access to surrounding properties and the length of the trip on that specific roadway. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) functional classification system for urban areas is divided into urban principal arterials, minor arterial streets, collector streets, and local streets. Principal arterials include interstates, expressways, and principal arterials. Eligibility for Federal Highway Administration funding and to provide design standards and access criteria are two important reasons to classify roadway. The region is served by Interstate 15 (north/South) and Interstate 86 (east/west). While classified within the arterial class, they are designated federally and do not change locally. Interstates will be shown in the functional classification map, but they will not be specifically addressed in this report. Functional Classification Update The Idaho Transportation Department has the primary responsibility for developing and updating a statewide highway functional classification in rural and urban areas to determine the functional usage of the existing roads and streets.

  • ITD Board Sets Wish List for Potential Stimulus
    ITD board sets wish list for potential stimulus The priorities include six road projects that wouldn't otherwise be done. None are in the Valley. Idaho Statesman, January 8, 2009 By: Cynthia Sewell Idaho transportation leaders want to spend $94 million on six otherwise unfunded road projects if President-elect Barack Obama and the new Congress pass a stimulus package dedicated to infrastructure. The windfall could create between 2,000 and 4,000 Idaho jobs, officials said. None of the six roads are in the Treasure Valley, but the region's section of Interstate 84 has been getting - and is expecting to keep getting - most of the borrowed federal dollars from the Connecting Idaho project. The stimulus projects officials have identified would upgrade treacherous Idaho 95 in North Idaho and jump-start road projects in Pocatello, Twin Falls and East Idaho. The Idaho Transportation Department board picked these projects during a special meeting Wednesday, and officials say they could be under construction by June. Several versions of possible stimulus bills are circulating in Washington, and details are still sketchy. ITD expects Idaho could receive about $100 million for roads. Agency staff had identified $817 million in projects that could be ready for construction within 180 days. The six board members disagreed on two points on how best to spend the $100 million: Whether to put the money toward new projects or use it to repair the state's existing roads. Whether to divide the money equally around the state or give it to the areas with the most need. Jim Coleman, who represents North Idaho, argued that the state should use one-time money to finance key projects it is unlikely to be able to afford under current revenue sources.

  • Snake River Plain Aquifer Wells Project, Falls Irrigation District
    Finding of No Significant Impact Snake River Plain Aquifer Wells Project Falls Irrigation District, Minidoka Project, Idaho U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation Pacific Northwest Region Snake River Area Office PN FONSI 18-4 Introduction The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) has prepared this Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) to comply with Council of Environmental Quality regulations for implementing procedural provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). This document briefly describes the proposed action, other alternatives considered, the scoping process, Reclamation’s consultation and coordination activities, mitigation and Reclamation’s finding. The Final Environmental Assessment (EA) fully documents the analyses of the potential environmental impacts of implementing the changes proposed. Location and Background The project area is located in southeast Idaho near of the City of American Falls in Power County (see EA Figure 1-1), along the southeastern edge of the Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer (ESPA). American Falls is nestled between the edge of the American Falls Reservoir (AMF) and U.S. Interstate 86, approximately 22 miles southwest of Pocatello, Idaho. Falls Irrigation District (FID) operates and maintains Reclamation’s American Falls Division of the Minidoka Project. FID is a contracted space holder at AMF and Palisades Reservoir, which allows it to meet irrigation demand in FID’s 12,620-acre service area. The United States holds natural-flow surface water rights as well as ground water rights for the benefit of FID. AMF has experienced low late-season water levels due to drought, downstream deliveries of water to enhance fisheries, decline in reach gains entering AMF due to groundwater pumping, and increased late season demand by users drawing from AMF.

  • I‐80 Tolling Impact Study
    I‐80 Tolling Impact Study Tracy C. Miller, Associate Professor of Economics, Grove City College 10/2/2009 1 INTRODUCTION0B The proposal to implement tolls on Interstate 80 was borne out of legislation commonly known as Act 44. Residents of the Interstate 80 corridor and of the Northern Tier have testified during numerous public events that the plan will impose high costs on businesses and households located within the Interstate 80 corridor. Economic logic implies that it will have a negative impact on some residents of other parts of the state as well. Proponents argue in favor of tolls on 80 because they claim that most of the costs will be borne by drivers of vehicles from other states. This report begins with an economic model of the impact of tolls on businesses and consumers. It identifies some of the major Pennsylvania industries that are likely to be affected by tolls and highlights the costs to people who work in those industries, workers who commute along 80, and consumers. Using information on industry location and goods shipments, it compares the effect of tolling 80 on different regions of the state. It also explores some of the indirect impacts of tolls. These include costs to state and local governments resulting from possible business closings, unemployment, and declining property values as well as the impact on highway safety of more cars and trucks traveling on secondary roads to avoid tolls on 80. This report also discusses the income distributional effects of tolls by comparing income and unemployment rates of the counties that will bear most of the costs of tolls with income and unemployment in the rest of the state and the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia metropolitan areas.

  • G2. US Route 6 to NY Route 211
    G2. US Route 6 to NY Route 211 Feature: Southern Shawangunk Ridge Distance: 9.10 miles USGS Map Quads: Otisville Trail Conference Maps: none General Description This section is a mixed bag of ridgetop hiking, abandoned rail beds, an active rail line, and woods roads. This section begins with the trail passing through the Hathorn Lake (Hawthorne Lake on some maps) development to a dead end, where it heads north along the ridge. After a short distance it then de- scends to the active Conrail Port Jervis line, which it follows north for a half a mile. There is one good view across Shin Hollow in this section. Where Shin Hollow Road crosses the Port Jervis line, the trail leaves the rail bed and fol- lows an abandoned section of Shin Hollow Road, which is a nice woods walk- ing section. After about a half a mile, the trail leaves Shin Hollow Road and begins a gradual descent to Guymard Turnpike, paralleling the Conrail Port Jervis line in the woods. After crossing Guymard Turnpike at a bridge over the railroad, the trail descends to the abandoned Erie Port Jervis line. It continues north on the rail bed, which it follows to NY Route 211, where this section ends. (Note: The map in this book still shows the old route.) Access Take the New York State Thruway to Exit 16 (Harriman). Take NY Route 17/future Interstate 86 west to Interstate 84 in Middletown. Take Interstate 84 west to exit 2, Mountain Road. Turn left on Mountain Road and continue a short distance to US Route 6.
