Affected Environment and Environmental Consequences
Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement Chapter 3: Affected Environment & Environmental Consequences 3.15 INDIRECT AND CUMULATIVE IMPACTS 3.15.1 Regulatory Context and Methodology NEPA legislation does not mention indirect or cumulative impacts; however, the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations for implementing NEPA address federal agency responsibilities applicable to indirect and cumulative considerations, analysis, and documentation requirements (40 CFR 1508.25) for the environmental consequences section of an EIS (40 CFR 1502.16) (FHWA, 2014). In addition to CEQ’s regulations, indirect and cumulative effects assessment is conducted in accordance with the requirements and processes outlined in 23 CFR Part 771, FHWA Interim Guidance: Indirect and Cumulative Impacts in NEPA (2003), FHWA Position Paper on Secondary and Cumulative Impact Assessment (1992), FHWA’s Questions and Answers on Considering Indirect and Cumulative Impacts in the NEPA Process (2015), the Transportation Research Board’s (TRB) National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 466: Desk Reference for Estimating the Indirect Effect of Proposed Transportation Projects (TRB, 2002), NCHRP Project 25-25 Task 22: Land Use Forecasting for Indirect Impacts Analysis (TRB, 2005), NCHRP Project 25-25 Task 11: Secondary/Indirect and Cumulative Effects Analysis (TRB, 2006), as well as CEQ’s Considering Cumulative Effects under the National Environmental Policy Act (1997) and Guidance on the Consideration of Past Actions in Cumulative Effects Analysis (2005). CEQ defines indirect effects as “…effects which are caused by the action and are later in time or farther removed in distance, but are still reasonably foreseeable (40 CFR 1508.8[b]). Indirect effects may include growth-inducing effects and other effects related to induced changes in the pattern of land use, population density or growth rate, and related effects on air and water and other natural systems, including ecosystems” (40 CFR 1508.8[b]). -

ins Commonwealth Transportation Board Shannon Valentine 1401 East Broad Street (804) 786-2701 Chairperson Richmond, Virginia 23219 Fax: (804) 786-2940 MEETING OF THE COMMONWEALTH TRANSPORTATION BOARD We are concerned about your health, and we are committed to do all we can to reduce the risk and spread of novel coronavirus. Governor Ralph Northam declared a state of emergency in Virginia on Thursday, March 12, 2020 in response to COVID-19. In light of this action, we have decided to conduct the March 17, 2021 Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) meeting using electronic communications in accord with Item 4-0.01.g. of Chapter 1289 (2020 Acts of Assembly), as the COVID-19 emergency makes it impracticable or unsafe to assemble in a single location. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss or transact the business statutorily required or necessary to continue operation of the CTB and the discharge of its lawful purposes, duties, and responsibilities. All board members will be participating remotely. The public may view the meeting via live stream by clicking the "View video" button at the following link: http://www.ctb.virginia.gov/public_meetings/live_stream/default.asp.

MEMORANDUM US 13 Attachment
MEMORANDUM TO: HRTO Subcommittee FROM: Jon Chambers, P.E. DATE: December 7, 2018 SUBJECT: Hampton Roads Transportation Operations Strategy – Phase II Corridors of Regional Significance The purpose of this document is to analyze five Corridors of Regional Significance (CORS) to identify the existing conditions and needs along these corridors. Specifically, this analysis looks at the need for high-speed communication upgrades, traffic sensors, and coordinated signal timings. The five corridors examined in this analysis are: US 13 Rt. 143/Jefferson Avenue Warwick Boulevard US 17 US 58 The following existing condition information has been compiled from GIS data. For each corridor, the existing system information has been divided into four subsections of needs: high-speed communications, traffic detectors, signal coordination, and Traveler Information Systems. The data gathered has been consolidated into a GIS database and overall map for ease of reference. The following sections provide written explanation of the contents of the maps. US 13 US 13 was examined starting in Suffolk to the west at the US 13 and Rt. 32 split, through Chesapeake and Norfolk, ending in Virginia Beach at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel approach. Due to the extensive length of this corridor, the operational influences can vary from one end to the other. On the west end of Suffolk, the operational needs are somewhat internal to the City with traffic influences coming from US 460 and US 58 from the west, railroad crossing impacts, as well as impacts of US58 Business versus the US 58 Bypass. From Bowers Hill to the Northampton intersection, the corridor can be viewed as a parallel route to I- 64 for diversion measures. -
2045 Long-Range Transportation Plan – Update
AGENDA ITEM #8: 2045 LONG-RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN – UPDATE Over the past five years, HRTPO staff, in partnership with regional stakeholders, have been updating the LRTP to the horizon year of 2045, with the goal of identifying multimodal projects and studies aimed at improving economic vitality and quality of life for residents, businesses, and industries across Hampton Roads. The identification of multimodal investments for the 2045 LRTP is based on a detailed evaluation of approximately 260 candidate projects using the Board-approved Regional Scenario Planning Framework, updated HRTPO Project Prioritization Tool, and available financial resources. HRTPO staff presented the draft 2045 LRTP Fiscally Constrained List of Projects to FTAC at its February 23, 2021 meeting. Based on a recommended approval from the Transportation Technical Advisory Committee and Resolutions of Support from the Community Advisory Committee and FTAC, the HRTPO Board approved the 2045 LRTP Fiscally Constrained List of Projects and associated 2045 LRTP Funding Plan and Project Information Guide reports at its March 29, 2021 meeting. As part of Federal requirements, a Regional Conformity Assessment (RCA) on the 2045 LRTP and 2021-2024 Transportation Improvement Program was completed and recently submitted to the Federal Highway Administration for review. Once the Federal review of the RCA is complete and a finding of conformity issued, the HRTPO Board can officially adopt the 2045 LRTP (on schedule for June/July 2021). Ms. Dale Stith, HRTPO, will brief the FTAC -

Frequently Asked Questions
Citizen Comment Opportunity MARCH 2021 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1. What is the Bowers Hill Interchange Improvements Study? The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) have initiated the Bowers Hill Interchange Improvements Study to evaluate potential improvements to the interchange where Interstate 664 (I-664), I-264, I-64, U.S. Route 460, U.S. Route 58, U.S. Route 13, and VA Route 191 (Jolliff Road) meet in the City of Chesapeake. The study has been expanded to include approximately seven miles of I-664 between the Bowers Hill Interchange and College Drive in the City of Suffolk. Considerations also include how the study area would interact with the planned and existing Express Lanes in the Hampton Roads region. 2. Was a Bowers Hill Interchange Improvements Study completed already? In April 2019, FHWA issued the Bowers Hill Interchange Improvements Study Environmental Assessment (EA) which evaluated the potential impacts of a No-Build Alternative and two Build Alternatives. Under Alternative 1, there would be additional lanes and barrier separation of movements between U.S. Route 58, I-664, I-264, and I-64 at existing weave/merge conflict points within the main interchange area. Alternative 1 would retain much of the existing infrastructure and maintain all local access connections. Alternative 2 proposed a full interchange reconstruction. The improvements included braided ramps similar to Alternative 1; however, it would provide additional barrier separation of major movements by realigning NB I-664 within the main interchange area. Since the publication of the EA, the Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO), along with the Hampton Roads Transportation Accountability Commission (HRTAC), VDOT and the FHWA, expanded the study parameters to include approximately seven additional miles of I-664. -
