Environmental Assessment

Open Comment Period: View Draft Environmental Assessment and Submit Your Feedback - Environmental Assessment banner

Along with design efforts underway for the K-96 Improvements Project, an Environmental Assessment has been conducted in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The assessment documents potential impacts a transportation project may have on the human and natural environment.

This Environmental Assessment includes:

  • Review of existing and future land uses along the corridor
  • Identification of potential historical and archaeological sites
  • Survey of wetland and habitats along the creeks crossing the study area
  • Modeling to determine potential traffic noise impacts
  • Other social and natural environment analyses as necessary and appropriate

The findings of these studies are included in the project’s Draft Environmental Assessment.

As part of the NEPA process, a public comment period is open from March 27 – May 15, 2024, to allow an opportunity for the public to provide feedback on the Draft Environmental Assessment. This feedback is considered when making decisions on how to best plan, design, and construct the project.
