EPA is concerned with the potential impacts to streams, Chesapeake Bay Critical areas, historic resources, residential, business/commercial, and church/school properties. EPA has also requested additional information regarding the environmental justice evaluation. In general, EPA supports the concept of improving the functioning of an existing transportation facility through the addition of grade-separated interchanges, overpasses, and High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes. ERP No. D-FHW-E40786-FL Rating EC2, I-4 Corridor Improvements, Upgrading the Safety and Mobility of the existing I-4, from west of FL- 528 (Bee Line Expressway) interchange in Orange County to east of FL- 472 interchange in Volusia County, Funding, COE Section 10 and 404 Permits, NPDES Permit, Orange, Seminole, and Volusia Counties, FL.

The assessment of cumulative impacts and mitigation both require additional analysis. EPA is also concerned about potential impacts to ground water resources from proposed storm water ponds.
