Nebraska Highway 12 Niobrara East and West Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement
Chapter 1.0 Purpose of and Need for the Project CHAPTER 1.0 Purpose of and Need for the Project The purpose of this Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS) is to provide a full and fair discussion of the Nebraska Department of Transportation’s (NDOT) Applied-for Project and other reasonable alternatives for the Nebraska Highway 12 (N-12) Niobrara East and West project. The Applied-for Project is the alternative for which NDOT has submitted an application for a US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (Section 404; 33 United States Code [USC] 1344) permit. This SDEIS informs decision makers and the public of the environmental impacts of the Applied-for Project, and the reasonable alternatives that would avoid or minimize adverse impacts or enhance the quality of the human environment. The Corps’ Omaha District, Regulatory Branch, received a Section 404 permit application from the applicant, NDOT, on September 11, 2015. NDOT requested authorization for the placement of fill material in waters of the US in connection with NDOT’s proposed project east and west of the village of Niobrara, Nebraska. The Corps, as part of its permit review process, developed a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in compliance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA).1 A Draft EIS for this project was released on October 9, 2015. A public open house and hearing was held on November 9, 2015. During the public comment period that was scheduled to close on November 23, NDOT elected to withdraw its Section 404 permit application on November 20, 2015. -

Information Open House Feb. 17 for Improvements to Highway 14 At
February 3, 2004 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Information Open House Feb. 17 for Improvements to Highway 14 at Aurora The Nebraska Department of Roads will hold an Information Open House on Tuesday, February 17, regarding a project to improve Nebraska Highway 14 from Aurora to Marquette. The open house will be held from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., at the Bremer Community Center, East Room, 1604 L Street, in Aurora. The proposed project in Hamilton County involves roadside grading, shoulder construction, resurfacing and replacement of the Big Blue River Bridge. Nebraska 14 will be reconstructed just north of U.S. Highway 34 so the existing three- lane section of Nebraska 14 can be extended north about ¼ mile. About 12 ½ miles of the highway will be resurfaced north to the Marquette Spur. Ten-foot-wide shoulders, of which eight feet will be surfaced, will be added to Nebraska 14 throughout the length of the project. Spur 41C from Nebraska 14 to Marquette will be resurfaced. Nebraska 14 will remain open to traffic during construction. A temporary road across the Big Blue River will be used during bridge replacement. Additional property must be acquired for highway right-of-way throughout the length of the project. Temporary easements for construction will be acquired at some locations. Control of access will be acquired along Nebraska 14, from the U.S. 34 junction north about one mile. Construction will impact wetland areas and mitigation will be required. Replacement wetlands for about 0.2 acre will be established on public right-of-way along the project or at the Rainwater Basin Bank Site in Fillmore County. -

Continuing the Story 1997 - 2006
Nebraska ◆ Department ◆ of ◆ Roads Continuing the Story 1997 - 2006 A Supplement to “A Story of Highway Development in Nebraska-Revised 1997” Nebraska Department of Roads … Continuing the Story 1997 - 2006 Background In December of 1986, the department published “A Story of Highway Development in Nebraska” with an updated and expanded version published in 1997. Both documents written by the late George E. Koster provided readers with exceptional history, education and information concerning the development of highways in Nebraska. Since 1997, advancements in technology, organizational revisions, funding and highway safety concerns, along with many other highway-related activities, have had an impact on the highway development process. For that reason, this document has been written to continue the story of progress, including features which have enhanced the area of operation within the department, along with accounts of special activities affecting department employees during the past decade. Department Organization Update “We provide and maintain, in cooperation with public and private organizations, a safe, reliable, affordable, environmentally compatible and coordinated statewide transportation system for the movement of people and goods.” The above statement addresses today’s mission of the Department of Roads. Since the establishment of the department (originally named the State Board of Irrigation) 111 years ago, many significant changes have occurred. To begin with, we can look at the change in the number of permanent employees that has taken place. Starting with six employees in the State Board of Irrigation in 1895, the number of employees grew to 1,813 in 1950 and today numbers approximately 2,133. - 3 - John L. -

I started drafting these pages in 2009, thinking I would have a complete manuscript in a matter of months and perhaps a published book in 2010. Now it appears, having completed the first draft in the latter part of 2010, that a version of this work accessible probably on line to others might be available sometime in 2011 or a bit later.
