    APPENDIX A20 CUMULATIVE IMPACTS TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM Environmental Assessment and Section 4(f) Evaluation APPENDIX A20 CUMULATIVE IMPACTS TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM April 2020 By David Evans and Associates INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND The I-70 West Vail Pass Auxiliary Lanes project is located in Eagle and Summit Counties, with the eastern terminus just east of the Vail Pass Rest Area and the western terminus in the Town of Vail. The project study limits include eastbound (EB) and westbound (WB) I-70 from mile post (MP) 179.5 to MP 191.5. The project location and approximate study area are shown in Figure 1 . As part of the initial National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis, a Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the I-70 Mountain Corridor (C-470 to Glenwood Springs) was completed in 2011. This EIS, the I-70 Mountain Corridor Programmatic Final Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS), recommended the addition of auxiliary lanes EB and WB on the west side of Vail Pass from MP 180 to MP 190 as part of the Preferred Alternative’s Minimum Program of Improvements. The PEIS also identified the potential for an elevated Advanced Guideway System (AGS) for transit along the I-70 corridor, including the West Vail Pass project corridor. A follow-up AGS Feasibility Study in 2014 analyzed potential alignments and costs for an AGS system and determined there were three feasible alignments for future AGS. While AGS is not part of the West Vail Pass Auxiliary Lanes project, the AGS Feasibility Study was used to ensure the project did not preclude the favored alignment of the three, which would be partially within CDOT right-of-way (ROW).

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE USDA Forest Service, White River National Forest 120 Midland Ave., Suite 140 Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 Contact: Kate Jerman, +1 (970) 945-3237 [email protected] US Forest Service Commemorates 50th Anniversay of Wilderness at Cradle of Wilderness in Flat Tops Wilderness Area Meeker, Colo.,August, 22, 2014 - In 2014 the US Forest Service is dedicated to commemorating “50 Years of Wilderness” and honoring the anniversary of the National Wilderness Preservation System and the Wilderness Act of 1964. Today, Forest Service officials, employees, partners and community members gathered before the sweeping vistas of Trappers Lake in the Flat Tops Wilderness on the White River National Forest to recognize the 50th anniversary and to honor the Trappers Lake area. Trappers Lake, also known as the Cradle of Wilderness, remains a historically significant area for the region and the agency in regards to wilderness preservation. The Cradle of Wilderness was one of the first areas in the nation to be set aside from development by the agency due to the foresight of visionary Arthur Carhart, who sought for greater protection measures over special areas of land. “This area is special, not only to the community but to the agency. The story of Trappers Lake begins with the foresight of Arthur Carhart in 1919,” stated Ken Coffin, District Ranger of the Blanco Ranger District. “Carhart persuaded Forest Service leadership to save the area from development. By doing so, the agency took an unprecedented step, one of the first in the nation, toward establishing protected and pristine areas.” In 1919, Carhart was charged with surveying the Trappers Lake area for development.
