Samenvatting

This notice announces actions taken by the FHWA and other Federal agencies that are final within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The actions relate to the proposed Interstate 90 (I-90) Snoqualmie Pass East Project, located between Hyak and Easton (Milepost 55.1 to 70.3) in the County of Kittitas, within the State of Washington. Those actions grant licenses, permits, and approvals for the project. The project will add one additional lane eastbound and westbound within a 15-mile section of I-90. Specific actions include acquiring additional easement and right-of-way, replacing the existing snowshed, replacing and adding new bridges and culverts, adding snow support structures (avalanche control), extending chain up/off areas, adding wildlife overcrossings, removing and placing fill, removing vegetations and trees, and providing stormwater treatment for both new and existing surfaces. The project also includes extensive mitigation and restoration actions which are compatible with land use plans.
