On page 6 a short statement to the effect that there are no deficiencies on proposed routing, if true, will suffice. If there are deficiencies, they should be indicated in accordance with page 5 instructions. All applications requesting Interstate establishment or changes are subject to concurrence and approval by the FHWA DATE SUBMITTED: March 30, 2015 SUBMIT APPLICATION ELECTRONICALLY TO [email protected] *Bike Routes: this form is not applicable for US Bicycle Route System The purpose of the United States (U.S.) Numbered Highway System is to facilitate travel on the main interstate highways, over the shortest routes and the best available roads. A route should form continuity of available facilities through two or more states that accommodate the most important and heaviest motor traffic flow in the area. The routes comprising the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways will be marked with its own distinctive route marker shield and will have a numbering system that is separate and apart from the U.S. Numbered Highway System. For the convenience of the motorist, there must be continuity and a uniform pattern of marking and numbering these Interstate routes without regard to state lines. The U.S. Numbered System was established in 1926 and the Interstate Numbered System was established in 1956. Both have reached the period of review, revision, and consolidation. They now need perfecting rather than expansion. Therefore, any proposed alteration in the established systems should be extremely meritorious and thoroughly, though concisely, explained in order that the Special Committee on U.S. Route Numbering and the Standing Committee on Highways of the Association may give prompt and proper consideration to each and every request made by a member department. Explanation and Reasons for the Request: (Keep concise and pertinent.) MDOT requests approval to sign US 78 from future I-269 to the Alabama state Line as I-22. This 106.7 mile section of roadway meets all interstate standards and will connect to I-22 in Alabama. Date facility available to traffic Currently available to traffic. Does the petition propose a new routing over a portion of an existing U.S. Route? yes If so, where? The new routing of US 78, proposed Interstate I-22, will begin at future Interstate I-269 in Desoto County, Mississippi southeasterly for 106.7 miles to the end of the route at the Alabama State Line. Does the petition propose a new routing over a portion of an existing Interstate Route? no If so, where? 2 Instructions for Preparation of Page 6 Column 1: Control Points and Mileage.

    I-69 Ohio River Crossing DEIS, Chapter 2 Purpose and Need

    I-69 Ohio River Crossing Project Draft Environmental Impact Statement CHAPTER 2 – PURPOSE AND NEED This chapter describes the need for the project based on I-69 system linkage, maintenance costs of the existing US 41 bridges, existing and future traffic levels of service (LOS), and crash rates. It then presents the project purpose based on the project needs and the performance measures that will be used to evaluate project alternatives. 2.1 INTRODUCTION The project’s purpose and need statement sets the foundation for the project development process. The statement identifies specific transportation problems (needs) that the project will address and describes the desired outcomes or goals (purpose) of the project. The purpose and need statement that was developed for the 2004 Interstate 69 Henderson, Kentucky to Evansville, Indiana Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) was reviewed and revised accordingly based on updated information, policies, and guidelines. The project area used in the evaluation of the purpose and need for the I-69 Ohio River Crossing (ORX) project extends from I-69 (formerly I-164) in Indiana on the south side of Evansville (i.e., northern terminus) across the Ohio River to I-69 (formerly Edward T. Breathitt Pennyrile Parkway) southeast of Henderson, KY (i.e., southern terminus) (Figure 2.2-1). The section of Edward T. Breathitt Pennyrile Parkway between KY 351 and KY 425 that was not re-designated as I-69 has been recently re-designated as US 41. The project area generally encompasses a triangular area that extends from approximately 0.5 mile west of the I-69/US 41/Veterans Memorial Parkway interchange to 0.5 mile east of the I-69/SR 662 interchange in Indiana, and south into Kentucky to I-69 near KY 136.

Presented below is the project background, summary of findings, limitations and certification. 2.0 BACKGROUND In accordance with 40 CFR §257.60, the owner/operator of an existing CCR Surface Impoundment must demonstrate that the base of the unit is located no less than 1.52 meters (five feet) above the upper limit of the uppermost aquifer, or must demonstrate that there will not be an intermittent, recurring, or sustained hydraulic connection between any portion of the base of the CCR unit and the uppermost aquifer due to normal fluctuations in groundwater elevations (including the seasonal high water table). In accordance with 40 CFR §257.60(c)(1), the demonstration must be made by October 17, 2018. If such demonstration cannot be made, the unit is subject to the closure or retrofit requirements of 40 CFR §257.101 3.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS Available data regarding site groundwater, site geology, and physical limits of the unit for the Green Surface Impoundment do not evidence a 5-foot separation between the base of the impoundment and the uppermost limit of the uppermost aquifer and they do not support a lack of hydraulic connectivity between the unit and the aquifer as specified in 40 CFR §257.60(a).

CHYTKA, DISTRICT ) COMMANDER, MOBILE DISTRICT; ) NO. ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF ) TRANSPORTATION; and JOHN R. ) COOPER, DIRECTOR, ALDOT, ) ) Defendants. ) ) COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF Plaintiff Black Warrior Riverkeeper, Inc., by and through its undersigned counsel, files this Complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief, stating as follows: INTRODUCTION 1. 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.
  • Kentucky Parkway System

    Kentucky Parkway System

    KENTUCKY PARKWAY SYSTEM D. H. Bray, President Brighton Engineering Company Frankfort, Kentucky Before discussing the Kentucky Parkway System, I want to touch first on the historical background of turnpikes, both those in general use and also those in Kentucky before 1952. My objective in saying anything about this historical background is because I think it will be interest­ ing_for you to see what parallels there are between the necessities and practices of turnpike con­ struction in those times compared with what we are now doing in Kentucky. I think this will give you a better perspective of this subject of toll roads. Following this historical statement, I will describe briefly the toll roads that have been built in Kentucky since 1952 under the two different legislative Acts, which pertain to the method of financing and the handling of the work. Then for the rest of my presentation and the part which is particularly fitting to the subject matter, in which those of you attending this committee ses­ sion on planning and research may be most interested, I will discuss the Kentucky toll roads con­ structed since 1952, their planning and location, special design and research features, and some maintenance experiments on them. Then in conclusion I will state the advantages, as I see them, of Kentucky's modern toll road program. Some 500 years ago there emerged in England a common law whereby the inhabitants of the parishes were bound to keep all roads in their parishes in repair. The local residents found this duty a real burden, especially for the up-keep of those roads that carried a considerable volume of through traffic.
