Draft EIS Comment Period Ends
The comment period for the East Columbia Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) ended on May 18, 2009. All comments received are important and are being reviewed by the study team. The study team will compile the comments received on or before the comment deadline of May 18, 2009 and substantive comments received on the Draft EIS will be addressed in the Final EIS which will be published later this year.
Next Steps for the Project
A Final EIS will be prepared based on the comments received on the Draft EIS. The Final EIS will be reviewed by MoDOT, the City of Columbia and Boone County and then submitted to Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for approval. After approval, the Final EIS will have a 30-day comment period and copies will be available for review on the project Web site and at other public locations. Following this comment period, the FHWA will issue a Record of Decision. After FHWA issues the Record of Decision, the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission can approve the selected alternative and MoDOT, the City of Columbia and Boone County will be able to move forward with the project whenever funding becomes available.
