Nevada found itself at a crossroads of national and regional developments. While awash with gold, silver, and other minerals, it took the emergence of a national system of transportation and national markets to capitalize those ore deposits, and by so doing vitalize what was an arid and sparsely populated region.

  • 3. Affected Environment
    3. Affected Environment 3.1 Introduction This chapter provides a description of the existing social, economic, and environmental settings for the area affected by the three build alternatives and the No Build Alternative. The affected environment is described for each resource of concern in the Boulder City/ U.S. 93 Corridor Study project area. The discussion contains study methodologies, background information, descriptive data, issues, and values that have a bearing on possible impacts and mitigation measures (described in detail in Chapter 4) and on the selection of the preferred alternative. This EIS was prepared consistent with National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations (40 CFR 1500. et seq) and the FHWA Guidance for Preparing and Processing Environmental and Section 4(f) Documents (FHWA Technical Advisory T 6640.8A, October 30, 1987). This guidance lists potentially adverse impacts most commonly encountered by highway projects and directs that these factors should be discussed for each reasonable alternative where a potential for impact exists. Environmental and socioeconomic factors potentially impacted by the proposed project are analyzed in detail in this chapter. Factors that were found to have no potential for project-related impacts and are not discussed in this chapter are as follows: x Joint Development x Farmland x Wild and Scenic Rivers x Coastal Barriers x Coastal Zone Impacts The following additional technical studies were prepared for the Boulder City/U.S. 93 Corridor Study DEIS, and they are available through NDOT (contact Daryl James at 775/888-7013 for additional information): x Air Quality x Noise x Biological Resources x Water Quality x Wetlands x Floodplains x Archaeological Resources x Historic Resources x Land Use x Visual Resources x Economics x Social Impacts x Hazardous Waste T012004001SCO/ DRD1333.DOC/ 050740004 3-1 3.

  • 1. Purpose and Need
    1. Purpose and Need 1.1 Proposed Action The proposed project involves traffic improvements to United States Highway 93 (U.S. 93) in the Boulder City, Nevada, area. The project limits are between a western boundary at the end of Interstate 515 (I-515) on U.S. 93/United States Highway 95 (U.S. 95) in Henderson (U.S. 95 Milepost [MP] 59.10), approximately 1.6 kilometers (km) (1 mile) north of the Railroad Pass Hotel and Casino, and an eastern boundary on U.S. 93, approximately 1.2 km (0.75 miles) east of the Hacienda Hotel and Casino. The eastern boundary is coincident with the planned western end of the U.S. 93 Hoover Dam Bypass project Nevada Interchange (see Section 2.1). The Boulder City/U.S. 93 Corridor Study covers a total distance of approximately 16.7 km (10.4 miles) on the present route of U.S. 93 (Figure 1-1). U.S. 93 is the major commercial corridor for interstate and international commerce, and it is the single route through Boulder City, functioning as a principal urban arterial. It is a direct north-south link between Phoenix and Las Vegas, which are two of the fastest-growing areas in the United States (U.S.), and it carries a high volume of east-west traffic from Interstate 40 (I-40) to Las Vegas and to Interstate 15 (I-15). U.S. 93, in combination with other highways, creates a continuous Canada to Mexico (CANAMEX) corridor through the U.S. between Calgary, Alberta, and Nogales, Sonora (Figure 1-2).

  • HENDERSON HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER August, 2018 Our
    HENDERSON HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER August, 2018 Our last newsletter was mailed out in April. After a relaxing summer the Historical Society is back to work planning new events and recalling what has happened since April: Heritage Days/Pioneer Days: There was a wonderful parade on Water Street in the morning and a gathering of Henderson Pioneers in the evening. Historical Society leaders gave an accounting of the year’s accomplishments and a preview of things to come. We remembered a great lady of Henderson and celebrated with an old fashioned ice cream social, the kind Tina Smith would have loved. Her family was there to help us. Henderson History buffs told stories we hadn’t heard and made recommendations that caused us to reflect. Emerald Island/A Meet and Greet: The Henderson Historical Society had a good time at the Emerald Island, Friday, May 4, 2018. The Emerald Island is a modern casino with good food and a welcoming staff. The “meet and greet” it sponsored was also a reunion of sorts. The Henderson Historical Society displayed pictures of the Henderson Townsite dating back to the 1940s and 50s along with photos of the families that managed the shops and businesses of that day including: Joe and Dottie McBeath, who managed the town’s drugstore, barber-Pratt Prince, manager of the bowling alley/pool hall Ed Peisker and his daughter, Betty Jo, who helped him run the treats concession. The historic pictures displayed came from The City of Henderson, the Clark County Museum, and the Henderson Libraries-Digital Collection. Betty Jo Peisker supplied family photos for the event which will be added to the HHS collection.
