This action challenges violations of Section 404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act ("Clean Water Act" or "CWA"), as well as the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 ("NEPA"), in connection with Defendant United States Army Corps of Engineers' ("the Corps') September 30, 2013 decision to issue a permit for the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States ("Section 404 permit") for the construction of a 1.86- mile segment of the Northern Beltline near Palmerdale, Alabama. When completed, the proposed 52-mile, six-lane Northern Beltline would be a new controlled-access highway between Interstate 459 in Bessemer, Alabama and Interstate 59 in Trussville, Alabama. 2. Section 404 of the Clean Water Act requires the Corps to issue permits only for those projects that represent the least damaging practicable alternative that will satisfy the project's purpose and need. In determining the least damaging practicable alternative, the Corps must evaluate a number of environmental and economic factors pursuant to CWA regulations and must look at the entire project. 3. The Section 404 permit issued for the Northern Beltline is an improper and illegal segmentation that prevents an objective look at the entire project's impacts and alternatives.

  • Governor Awards $4.1 Million to Install Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday, June 10, 2021 Governor awards $4.1 million to install electric vehicle charging stations MONTGOMERY —Gov. Kay Ivey has awarded 18 grants to help bring Alabama motorists into the electric vehicle age. The grants totaling more than $4.1 million will help finance the installation of electric vehicle charging stations at many fueling stations near interstates and other major highways and corridors in central and north Alabama. Other types of businesses and public entities were also eligible for awards. “We have begun the journey of transforming vehicles operated by fossil fuels into those powered by electricity, and it’s important that motorists be able to charge their vehicles when traveling along the interstate and other major highways in Alabama” Gov. Ivey said. “Many of the vehicles manufactured right here in Alabama plants have already begun this transition, and it is exciting to come onboard with these projects to support these vehicles as they become more readily available and more Alabamians choose to drive them.” The grants will be used to fund up to 80 percent of the cost of the charging stations. Funds for the projects came from the Volkswagen Settlement Plan and the Alabama Legislature. The VW settlement arose from an agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regarding VW’s violation of the federal Clean Air Act. Alabama was among states receiving settlement funds. The Interstate-20 corridor from the Alabama-Georgia border to Tuscaloosa was outlined in the Alabama Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan as the ideal site for charging stations. The plan, which outlines goals and priorities for establishing charging stations in Alabama, cited I-20 as a priority because of its link to Atlanta and because that area of Alabama, which includes the populous Jefferson County metro area, has the highest concentration of electric vehicles in the state.

  • Introduction
    Major Street Plan – Hoover, Alabama Introduction The following summarizes the development process of the major street plan element of the Comprehensive Plan prepared for the City of Hoover, Alabama. Both land use and the roadway system were analyzed in this study effort. The purposes of the transportation component are to guide development in the establishment of a planned roadway network, assess the effectiveness of the existing roadway system, considering the present land uses and transportation network, and to develop a major Street plan that will mitigate current and future roadway deficiencies, increase mobility, support the Comprehensive Plan, and create a safe and efficient roadway system for the future. Sources of information for the major street plan included the City of Hoover, the Alabama Department of Transportation, the Regional Planning Commission of Greater Birmingham, Atkins, the KPS Group, Inc. and office files and field reconnaissance efforts of Skipper Consulting, Inc. Background If a major street plan does not exist, streets become major by their use as determined by the traveling public to meet their immediate traffic needs. A major street plan proposes the development and use of streets that provides the greatest safety and long range economy. To ensure that transportation plan meets the desires of the City of Hoover it was determined that the transportation plan should meet the following criteria: • Meet the long range transportation need of the city; • Encourage and accommodate traffic on the interstate, arterials and collectors while discouraging traffic on local and neighborhood streets; • Provide access among all developed areas of Hoover; • Improve overall accessibility to employment, education, public facilities, and other major activity centers; Skipper Consulting, Inc.
