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

Based on the input received from the PACT and what was heard from the additional outreach the City and County of Denver conducted within the community, the project team has been taking a closer look at the options that may be feasible along the Current Alignment. This includes reexamining the reasons previous alternatives were eliminated. This additional analysis resulted in the following alternatives (in addition to the No-Action Alternative): Revised Viaduct (North and South) Partial Cover Lowered (North) For more information regarding these alternatives please view the Corridor-wide Public Meeting exhibits.
Collaborative Process Ends for I-70 East The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) assumed a collaborative process to identify a preferred alternative as a part of the I-70 East Environmental Impact Statement process. The Keystone Center was retained as a neutral facilitator to design and implement the collaborative process, which began with the formation of the Preferred Alternative Collaboration Team (PACT) for the I-70 East EIS. Comprised of state and federal agencies, advocacy groups, and stakeholders from Adams County, Aurora, Commerce City, and Denver, the I-70 PACT engaged in a collaborative dialogue and decision-making process. The collaborative decision-making		process is compliant with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the preferred alternative will be documented in the Final EIS. I-70 PACT meetings began in July 2010 and continued through July 2011. All meetings were open to the public for observation with brief opportunities for public comment. The PACT has now concluded their work and there will be no future PACT meetings; to view previous meeting summaries please see Meeting Minutes. The PACT showed significant support for the Current Alignment Alternative in early 2011. It is the intention of FHWA and CDOT to adopt the alternative recommended by the I-70 PACT. See PACT for additional information about the I-70 PACT including goals, membership selection and process.
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).
