ENVIRONMENT
In 1970, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was signed into law. It requires that the impact on the human and natural environment be publicly documented and considered in the decision-making process for major federal projects. To meet these requirements, KYTC and INDOT prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA), a document that identifies how the project impacts the local communities and the environment. The project’s EA has been approved by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), which allows the project to move forward for public comment. The signing of the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) by the FHWA successfully completed the
NEPA process, and the project is moving into the design build-phase.
