Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS)

Additional hazardous materials assessment investigations should be completed before circulating the final environmental impact statement (FEIS). Results of these investigations may help to determine the impact on a project alternative and provide estimates of the extent of contamination and cost of preventive action during construction. The results of these investigations should be presented in the FEIS.
In addition to the general requirements discussed above, the following is a list of items required in FEIS documentation, according to FHWA Interim Guidelines for the preferred alternative:
  • A description of the results of continuing coordination with EPA, state/local agencies and the public
  • Documentation of the resolution of hazardous material issues to the extent possible
  • A detailed description of the site(s), contamination, agreed upon treatment or disposal measures and costs of the remedial plan to the extent possible
