Welcome to the I-70 East Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
project website!

Collaborative Process Begins for I-70 East The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) are entering the next phase of the I-70 East Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) by undertaking a collaborative process to identify a preferred alternative. The Keystone Center has been retained as a neutral facilitator to design and implement the collaborative process, which begins with the formation of the Preferred Alternative Collaboration Team (PACT) for the I-70 East Corridor. Comprised of state and federal agencies, advocacy groups, and stakeholders from Adams County, Aurora, Commerce City, and Denver, the I-70 PACT will engage in a collaborative dialogue and decision-making process that will result in the recommendation of a preferred alternative by early 2011.		It is the intention of FHWA and CDOT to adopt the alternative recommended by the I-70 PACT. The formation of the I-70 PACT is currently underway, click here to find out more about the I-70 PACT membership selection process. The first I-70 PACT meeting is scheduled for July 29, 2010. All I-70 PACT meetings will be open to the public for observation with brief opportunities for public comment. View upcoming meeting dates. This collaborative decision-making process is compliant with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The preferred alternative will be documented in the Final EIS.

Formal Public Comment Period is Closed The project team has completed the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for I-70 in east Denver. The DEIS includes a detailed analysis of the social, environmental, and economic effects of the project alternatives as required by the federal government according to NEPA. The DEIS was made available to the public for comment from November 14, 2008 to March 31, 2009. DEIS comments can be viewed on the website and will be addressed in the Final EIS (FEIS).
