Future Public Hearing Date
The Draft EIS (DEIS) for SH 190 East Branch is being prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The document must undergo review by the TxDOT-Austin office; once approved by TxDOT Austin, the DEIS must be reviewed and approved by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) per environmental and legal conformity.

Once the DEIS is approved by the FHWA, a Public Hearing will be conducted. This Public Hearing could possibly occur in early 2009. Once the Public Hearing is scheduled, the date and time will be posted on the website and relayed to all who have registered to be on the project mailing list as well as property owners located within or immediately adjacent to the
potential right-of-way. Following the Public Hearing, a Final EIS (FEIS) will be prepared to recommend an alternative.
